Painless Extraction

In the old days the

excruciating, and the

the old methods, still

MANILA, p. l., Jan. ga group
of bluejackets returning from lib
erty were awaiting their ship
launches Oh one of the landing
stages at Yokohama during the
visit of the battleship fleet to that
port when Admiral Wainwright,
commander of the second division,
was seen approaching bye one of
the men.
Attention, fellows, here comes
the king" called out a husky-sailor-
man, and then an unusual scene
was enacted.
The American bluejacket usually
stands at attention" with all the
erectness and grace of an over
worked mop, and salutes with an
uncertain arm movement which is
q cross between an upper cut and
the parry OF a short arm jolt to
the head.
Such ceremonious stunts weary
him, and he makes no effort to dis
guise his fears that he might look
like a marine if he saluted accord
ing to regulations.
But this particular party of blue
Jackets, when they heard those
words, here comes the king,
formed a double line of splendidly
squared shoulders, and as King
Dick" came within saluting dis,
lance every hand was brought to
salute with garde du corp pre-
cision.

commented one of the men in a
tone of voice which left no doubt
as to the speakers sincerity in vol
unteering for such a superheated
cruise.

The last remark had just re-
ceived the unanimous Endorsement
of the entire squad, when a civilian

Since it's discovery one year ago

cases of eczema and other distress

poslam has been dispensed solely

skin troubles, such as pimples,
blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes. itch
ing feet, piles, etc, which require
but a small quantity to cure. To
overcome this, and in response to
urgent appeals. the dispensers OF
poslam have been obliged to adopt

EXAMINER BOARDS
ALL THE RAGE
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. Estate boards
of examiners are all the rage this
year and there is already a doubt
arising as to when and where this
practice will stop. The embalmers
of the state. together with the
nurses, are before the legislature
to restrict the practice of both
callings according to their rules
and regulations.
Both occupations set up the plea
of the protection of the general
health, but as this argument may
run to almost every form of hui
man endeavor it is beginning to
lose weight. The embalmers' one
man lobby is circulating indus
triously and the. nurses are appar-
emily relying on their reputation
as a class and the members they
have cured to standby them.
A mans estimate of himself
isn't apt to pass current.

WHIPPING POST
IN THIS STATE
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 28.-As soon as
the public morals turmoil dies
down in the legislature a bill will
be introduced providing that hus-
bands who beat their wives shall
be subject to the same sort of
punishment.
While the details of the law have
not been entirely agreed upon by
the people here working in it's in
terest, it is understood that the
law in Oregon will be followed
closely. The people who are urg-
ing this measure are having con-
siderable difficulty in finding
member who will father the meas
ure officially. Nearly every men,
Der who has been approached ex-
presses himself as being heartily
in favor Of the measure, but all
fear the ridicule that some way or
other attaches to a man who in
PRODUCES the wife beaten" bill.
The bill affords scope for some
rather puerile stock wit which
legislators embued with the wrong
full impression that they are hui
morists never fail to overlook.
Senator Stevenson of Pomeroy
will be approached and it is ex-
pected that he will consent to be
responsible for the bills introduc-
ton in the senate.

RICHARD WAINWRIGHT.

King Dick" as he is called by the
enlisted men and officers, an Off
Ger not only qualified to preserve
the best traditions of the service in
any emergency. but one who is
also splendidly human. Possessed
to remarkable degree of that
subtle force we call personal mag
netism, of provtn courage and dar-
ing initiative, Admiral Wainwright
has been unanimously declared the
greatest American sailor" at pres
ent in the service by the entire per-
sonnet of the battle fleet.
And the word has come from
Washington, semi-officially, that he
is to be the next commander in
chief of the fleet.
Every red blooded sea fighter in
the service will welcome him as
their chief, and it is the common
expression of opinion among the
officers that his personality will
add wonderfully to the efficiency
of the fleet, as the sea fighter de-
mands leader whom they can re-
spect and love.

It WILL KNOCK
EN- SILLY
MOVE ON TO SECURE STATE
LAW PROVIDING THAT ALL
CITY OFFICE NOMINATIONS
BE MADE NoNPARTIsAN.

A movement is on foot that may
throw a bombshell into the ranks
of the politicians, now getting busy
trying to fix the cards as to whom
shall govern the city during the
next two years.
This proposition is nothing less
than an effort to have the present
legislature pass law to make all
nominations for municipal Offices
nonpartisan With such a law in
effect it would not be a case of
electing the party to Office, but the
selection of the men best suited to
fill the position. ...
There are many warm advocates
of non-partisan municipal elections,
and it is believed the recomm enda-
ton for such plan of electing city
officials will be urged by the civic
commission recently appointed.

greater and more personal inten-
sity than any other community.
Governor Cosgroye, since election
day, has been a citizen of Olympia,
and for weeks he has been as one
missing from his post. The intri-
cate wheels within the wheels of
state government have not run true
by reason of his being distant and
above and beyond all sordid politi-
cal reason; there has existed that
great heart yearning human desire
to see him win. -.
And so they flocked to see the
car in which he arrived. They
paused in groups and masses and
looked long and curiously at the
drawn curtains; speculated wisely
and loosely on his condition of
health and rejoiced man to man.
There was no flare of trumpets,
no rending of the heavens with
fervid oratory, no shouts or cheer
ing; but in the hearts of every
man, woman and child in Olympia
there was a deep feeling of thank
fulness that was akin to prayer.

Teeth artists. Just think what

no doubt about the value Of the
work.
The Electro Dentists always do
perfect work. Every piece of 1t
