DIED BECAUSE Of
FREE SPEECH

One more life has been sacrificed
TO the cause of free speech. John
Kelley Cole, a leader of the young
er /. w. WIS in Chicago, was
ground to death beneath the
wheels of freight train near To.
mash, Wis, last Thursday, losing
his life in an effort to reach Spo-
kane to aid in the fight for free
speech.
With two companions, all penni-
less but imbued with determination
to aid, Cole left Chicago Monday
night, starting for Spokane be-
meath a freight car. All went well!
until Tomash was reached. Just as
the train started Cole lost his hold
and fell across rail. the entire
train passing over him before the
crew were aware of the fatal &C.
cident.
Cole was only 20 years of age,
but had been active in I. w. w.
circles for two years. He was 4
graduate of North Division high
scholo, starting the Red and
Black" socialistic paper, when a
school boy.

At the Pantages

PANTAGES-"In this act, you
are to be my husband" Yes, but
we're not married" 81 know it,
but Wen just play that we are"
20, no! there are too many around
This town doing that right now"
This is little conversation ex-
tracted from Mills & Moulton's
laughable little act entitled, "A
Trial Performance" at the Pan
tages this week, that tickles the
funny bone of about every one
present. The act is one of the ia
Worries. Princess Irene's lions give
a good demonstration of ferocious-
ness, trainer seems to be very
daring man, but the animals need
more real training. The bear that
mingles with them is about the
best of the show. Gaines and
Brown, the colored comedians,
make a decided hit. Some very
sensational and Instructive feats
on the trapeze are shown by the
Four Flying Dordeens. In fact, they
do about everything but to fly. Will
liam d. ellison, with his illustrated
song entitled Good Night, Dear"
makes his usual good impression
on the audience, and in fact the en-
tire bill Is pleasing.

At the Washington

Aler's polar bear act at the
Washington is making decided
hit with young and old alike. Ten
of the big animals are entered in
the act, and a wrestling match be-
tween one of the sturdy white
fellows and his trainer is one of
the catchiest features seen in Spo-
kane's playhouses in months. Ray
Fern is certainly a jolly fellow. He
takes with the audiences from the
start, and keeps ripple of laugh
ter continually running among his
hearers. Yola Yberri, the charm
of terpsichorean exercises, fur
nishes novel turn to the enter
tainment, and Miss Louise Taylor,
an accomplished vocalist who as
sists her, is greatly liked. She was
out in an array of jewelry that
started a buzz of discussion last
night. She wore four bracelets
and a pair of earrings that tapped
like wings at the side of her shape
~ throat. So much interest cen
tered about those earrings that 1t
would have been scarcely noticed
had Miss Taylors voice not been
perfectly keyed. There is no end
of fun in Robisch and Childress
appearance in jollity and song, and
Gertrude Van Dyke is intensely in
teresting with her two voices of
distinctly different quality. She
represents two characters almost
at the same time in operate sing
ing. The Whitman brothers have
one of the most catchy acts in
scenic contortion seen this season.
One appears first as a great bull
frag-head, hide and all-while the
other brings in a second Install
ment of fun when he appears as a
huge water monster with flaming
green eyes and ugly white teeth.
They are really flexible wonders.

Health and Beauty Queries
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

you can take at home by dissolving one
ounce of Kardene In one-half pint of alco-
hol; To these add one-half teacupful of
sugar and put into one and one-half pints
of boiling water. Take one tablespoonful
five minutes before each meal and before
retiring. This will cleanse your blood and
liven up your torpid liver.
Kate s.: a There is no remedy for
the deep wrinkles caused by age. 90
II you permit dandrutf to form and re-
main on your scalp 1t will surely kill the
hair. Your falling hair is caused by dand-
ruff and you should use a quinine hair
tonic once or twice a week. Get from
your druggist one ounce of Quinola, add
one-half pint of alcohol and Dne-half pint
of cold water; let stand until the Quinola
is dissolved. Apply by rubbing into the
scalp and hair until absorbed. This will
keep the scalp and hair in healthy condi-
ton, and promote the growth of hair. 1t
has been used for years by a very prom
inent writer who is noted for her long and
abundant glossy hair.
Elsie Dlnsmore": 1 thank you for the
confidence you express in my little talks
to correspondents. For eyes that are dull
and listless, easily tire, and become in
ing one ounce OF Crystos in a pint of
water. 1t will not smart or burn and Is
an aid to those who wear glasses, Tor II
strengthens the sight, while 1t makes the
eyes bright and sparkling.
Vera c.: a. You are giving yourself
needles worry on account OF the Color OF
your auburn tresses. Many people truly
admire red hair. 1t would be worse than
foolish to even consider dyeing 1t. 20
A good remedy for eczema, salt rheum,
letter and similar skin diseases is made
by mixing four ounces OF Luxor with one
half pint of water and four tablespoonfuls
OF alcohol. Shake the bottle, pour a small
quantity upon the rough and itching sur
face and allow II TO dry, repeating the
treatment until the irritation disappears
and the skin is restored to healthy condi-
ton.
X. T. g.: A good liquid powder or face
wash is a protection to the complexion.
The manufactured brands of merit are
expensive, but you can make a good one
at home as follows: To a half pint of
hot water add two teaspoonfuls of Glycer-
inc and four ounces of Spurmax; let stand
until cold. This is a true beautifier that
makes the skin white and youthful, and
is particularly valuable to those afflicted
with sallow, dark or oily skin. A friend
of mine by accident discovered that 1t was
also very good for cold sores.

Minnie s.: The proper time for a cold
bath is before breakfast. The important
result of a cold bath is its reaction. rms
should take place quickly, bringing on u
warm, comfortable, refreshing glow.
est. Elmo: You say that all cold creams
leave your skin so terribly oily, Make TINS
cream jelly yourself at home and there
will be an end to your troubles. Get from
your druggist an ounce OF Almozoln, put
it in a fruit jar, add one-halt pint Oh colu
water and two teaspoonfuls of Glycerine,
stir briskly for a few minutes and let STAND
until 1t becomes thick, Use for massaslng
to remove and prevent wrinkles, fill out
hollow checks and round off angles. IL
gives a clear, fresh and soft skin because
it removes all particles of dust, dirt and
SCOT from the pores. 1t removes black,
prevents their return. 1t is also good for
freckles, tan and skin pimples. Thls cream
jelly contains no pills or fats that will
cause a growth of hair.
L. 1. M: A bunion is an enlarged joint.
The best you can do is to battle 1t In
Arnica and apply q bunion plaster to pro-
tect 1t from irritation by the shoe. Bathe
your feet every night in salt water. You
can get a bunion plaster or anything else
that / mention In my recipes from any
first-class druggist. II he is so unaccom-
modating as to say he is out of what you
want, and does not offer to get it for you
from his wholesaler, go to another drug
gist who cares enough for your trade to
get for you what you want.
Georgia c.: The most important detail
in the care OF the hair is its cleanliness
TIL frequency of a shampoo should de-
pend upon the condition of the scalp ano
hair. Soda in the water will fade the
hair and make 1t brittle. II you want a
shampoo that thoroughly cleanses the
scalp, relieves scalp irritation and makes
the hair soft and fluffy, dissolve a tea
spoonful of Canthrox in a teacupful Of hot
| water and shampoo by pouring 1t on the
head and rubbing we'll. This makes ar
abundant lather.
Nc Signature: Massage your double CHR
with Almozoin cream jelly. To take the
superfluous flesh from your abdomen anC
hips try this: Dissolve four ounces Of
Parnotis in q pint of warm water, and
take a tablespoonful three times a day
just before meals.
Alfred L.: % There Is no such thinl
as an infallible remedy for everything, bu
for general emaciatiOn, pimples, live
blotches, sallow complexion and poor ap
petite 1 would advise the use of a gooC
blood tonic and liver invigorator, whicl
