CLEANSING HINTS.

PERSPIRATION SIAINS.-Such blem-
ishes are hard to remove from unwash-
able materials. In fact. the only hope
lies In a mixture Of alcohol and, ether In
equal parts, with . dash OF ammonia. This
may do away with the worst feature OF
the stains. though do not let them get too
old before the cleansing. When applying
the huid lay several thicknesses Of white
blotting paper under the soil to prevent
the ring which is likely to remain when
the garment is dry.
TO REMOVE GREASE SPOTS.-A
fresh grease spot, such as would be made
by food, may often be removed with or
dinary talcum face powder. Sprinkle the
spot thickly with the powder and Jet it re-.
main on over night. Brush of briskly the
next day. French chalk is always
good grease eradcator, and no business
woman should be without il. The chalk

side of the stuff. Is rubbed well into the
spot and left on for four or more hours.
After this the place is covered with a
white blotting paper and pressed with a
moderately warm iron. Move the paper

through. and remember that q hot iron

TO CLEAN WHITE KID GLOVES
Five or ten cents pair Is all that good
cleaners charge to freshen gloves. But IL
this cannot be afforded. and the soil is
trifing. there are simple cleansing
methods which any girl can employ at
home without mussing her chamber.
White India rubber and stale bread
crumbs. rubbed briskly against the dry
kid. are both good cleansers for white or
light gloves. Keep the gloves on the
hands while cleaning them. and If the
rubber and crumbs are not efiicacious.
try mixture OF benzoin and oatmeal
made into a paste. Both light gloves and
kid slippers likewise respond to a good
rubbing with piece of flannel dipped in
equal parts OF fuler's earth and pow

meal improves the looks Of The kid

THIN FOLKS MADE FAT

Good, healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper
food, together with natural action
of the organs of assimilation. Nine
people out of 10 in order to weigh
as much as they ought and be per-
fectly healthy, should use Samose,
the great flesh-forming food and
health restorer. Weigh yourself
before commencing to use these
tablets, and see how your weight
increases from week to week.
Samose does not contain a par
ticle of starch or pepsin, nor is it
any nauseating preparation. sucn
as is usually recommended to
make people fat. and which does
not build up good healthy tissues.
Samose has valuable forming
properties, tones up and strength
ems the whole system, helps the
food that is eaten to be assimilated
In natural manner, and absolutely
restores health to all the organs.
If you are not perfectly satisfied
with the results from Samose.

Do you doubt that the PIANOLA
PIANO can be played artistically?
Practically every noted musician
alive today has Enthusiastically
praised its artistic qualities. Many
have said that performance with

URGES NEW PLAN
Of GOVERNMENT

EEditor The Spokane Press:
The time has come for the citizens
and taxpayers to take hand in the
situation at the city hall. The Off.
Cials, from Mayor Pratt downward,
seem to be working at hit or miss,
and the result is that the whole
business Of the city is disorgan-
lied. l feel that the chaotic state
OF affairs is I'm the most part the
result OF sincere differences of opin-
Ion, but the partisans to all the
parties to the differences must ad-
init that the result is disastrous to
the business of the city.
1t ID not important to the people
OF Spokane as a whole whether one
man wins a personal triumph or
not. but it is important that the
business of the city be done in a
decent, orderly manner with some
general cooperation toward re-
suits.
The utter inefficiency of our
present charter system of govern
ment must be evident to any man
who has been following the prog
ress of affairs at the city hall. 1t
IL time now to adopt a plan of gov
eminent that will be in harmany

AL over the country is adopting this
plan because of a realization that ii
gives a direct. simple government
that gets results. Most cities are
making this change after mature
Investigation because they find that
the commission plan is best and
has been showing that In practice.
Here In Spokane we not only have
that inducement, but we are con-
fronted by a crisis that demands
an immediate and complete reor-
Eanization. II
The people Of the city should
take this matter into their own
hands. They should get together
