Did you know that supreme court had ruled that a
street company could be made to give seat to every
passenger, or else carry him free?
This is the decision of the supreme of the state
of New Jersey
Mayor Fagan of Jersey City, mayor who be-
leved that the people had rights His street and water
board passed ordinance requiring the trolley company
at certain hours to sufficient to furnish seat
to every passenger from whom fare demanded and
also that it should many that nobody would
have to wait than five minutes 1t imposed fine
of $50 for each violation
The street car company didn't like that at all.
It went to court.
1t said it was impossible to live up to any such ordi-
nance-that it would have to go out Of business.
The court held that it could not set aside any ordi
unless that ordinance unreasonable, and added
that there nothing unreasonable shown to exist in
this
law that is good in Jersey City should be good in
Spokane.
Why not invoke it here?

Wonderfully Effective Recipe
for Complexion Wash

Inc accompanying recipe comes from
a high authority on matters pertain
ing to the identifying of the face. The
formula originated in France and was
brought to this country several years

crystalized Sartoin. Put the Sartoin
into pint of warm water mot boil

ems, and when dissolved and cooled
strain through a fine cloth.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any well stocked drug store and
easily mixed at home. II a large bot
