LOTTERY MAN"
REAL FUNNY

"The Lottery Man" which
opened at the Auditorium last
night turned out to be bright and
entertaining farce comedy. The
plot is drawn around young man
who has never been able to make
much of success of anything he
has undertaken.
He finally gets discouraged and
decides to offer himself as a prize
in lottery, the chances being a
dollar each. Something like 300.-
600 women take a chance to draw
the prize, but of course he is won
by the sOrrieSt, most delapidated,
spiritless bit of femininity that the
imagination of the author could
conjure up-"LizZie."
In this character Viva Ogden is
the bright star of the cast. She
has been well and favorably known
to the theatergoing public for some
time for her clever character work,
but in the part of Lizzie" she fair
ly eXcels herself
William Russell as Jack Wright
is good, as is also Lulu Harris as
Helene Hyer, while Lucia Moore as
Mrs. Wright, makes a very sweet
and lovable mother.
The play, which will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow night, is well
staged.

WHEN DO REQUIRE GLASSES?

This is a question often asked
and seldom answered 1t is well
known fact, however, that in cases
where the eye has been normal in
youth the natural decay of vision
does not begin until the age of 40,
and is known as Presbyopia. The
eyes become tired and a difficulty
is found in continuing to read for
sny length of time. AS age pro-
crosses vision becomes more
blurred, and you will have ten
dency to hold your newspaper or
sewing farther from the eyes.
Hence, the reason of the old lady
holding her needle at arms length
endeavoring to thread it. There are
many defects of vision amongst
young people and even school chill
dren, the most common being
known as Hypermetropia, or far
sight. Symptoms are painful Wis
ion, headaches, neuralgia and con-
siderable difficulty in reading fine
type. Next to this comes an error
of refraction known as Astigma-
tism, simple and compound, and is
invariably accompanied by pretty
severe headaches, inability to see
well and red. inflamed eyes in the
more pronounced cases.
The COLUMBIAN OPTICAL CO.
is DESTROYS of introducing to the
public their entirely new and orig
inal instrument known as the
Phoro-optometer. This has been
proven to be the best all around in
strument for Objective and Subjec-
tive Refractien and muscle work.
The COLUMBIAN OPTICAL co.
will be glad to explain their method
of sight testing to anyone who may
call at 404 Riverside. Spokane. ##*

be treated as justification for over

NEW AIR RACER
IS A WONDER

(By United Press Leased WIre)
BELMONT PARK, N. Y,
Oct. 24.-The new Wright rae
err, about which there has been
much mystery, made its initial
appearance on the field at BEL
mont park shortly after noon
today. Walter Erookine,
Wriehts' most promising pupil,
took the machine aloft for a
trial trip. Although he re-
manned in the air but a short
time, he was up long enough to
demonstrate that all promises
of the wonderful racer were
justified. la size the machine
looked more like toy than an
airworthy craft. But it bore
Brookins' weight without
trouble, and his control of the
machine was perfect. Brook
ms dbl not let out his motor to
the limit, but in a short flight
showed wonderful burst of
speed.

of the biggest and most expensive
attractions ever seen at a local

people. Some very pretty girls are
in this ensemble of Is, too. The
piece is a musical fantasy, and the
queer animals and their antics
make it attractive to children as
we'll as to grown ups. 1t is one of
the best things the Washington has
had in a long time.
1.-The Hand That Rules" is the
title of a brilliant playlet in which

THE church today needs insurg-

respectable. We must give it a
shaking up, just as Cummins, Bev-

others have shaken up the repubii-
can party" says Rev. H. A. Hymes,
pastor of the Grace Memorial Pres
byterian church of this city.
THE church is dying of re-
spectability, stagnating with Gus
tom, paralyzed with doing things
simply because they have been
done that way from time imme-
mortal.

the church needs to show that she

Human Heart as . Power Enein.Y\

A great physician once remarked that, despite its compleXity. there was no organ of the body readier to adapt Itself to circumstances or more capa. ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This is very true. and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow the wise mans advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When wa have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplishes we might well with Wesley say, Strange that harp of thousand strings should keep in tune so long" Estimated in scientific fashion, mans heart in twenty-four hours performs an amount of worn which if represented by the energy de" handed for a big lift would raise lg5 tons of weight one foot high. Such a calculation can be accurately detc, mined by measuring the force expend ed in one beat or cycle of moveme,: of the heart and multiplying the shor' work into that of the day. Thus in nc small degree does the hearts labo, contribute to swell the big total of the energy the human engine expends each day 1t lives.-New York World.
