road excursion tickets. They are divided
into three parts.
Persons taking advantage Of the 10

New Skin Absorber

Since the discovery that merco-
liked wax possesses remarkable
absorbent powers when applied to
the skin, the demand for 1t as a
complexion renewer has been tre-
mendous. Druggists in every sec
tion report sales as far exceed
ing those of anything similar they
have ever had on their shelves.
The incredible in the wax gently
absorbs thu devitalized cuticle, in

gradually loses her old, WORKOUT

taneous c.uptions, blotches, moth
patches, tan and freckles are of
course removed at the same time.
As mercolized wax is entirely
harmless, and easy to use, women
all over the country are purchas-
ing and using it to quickly rejuv-
enate their compilations. The wax

If you like good live ripping
music, catchy songs and pretty
girls just drop into the Tacoma
theater tonight and hear Joseph
Gates new comedy Bright
Eyes" You'll be whistling from
now till Christmas.
The author and music composer
of Bright Eyes" certainly outdid
themselves when they wrote the
piece and when placed upon the
stage by as clever a troupe of
actors as appeared at the Tacoma
last night the play could not but
be success.
Cecil Lean and Florence Hol-
brook have never appeared before
the Tacoma public before but it is
hoped they will stop again when
out this way. Miss Holbrook is
a neat entertaining little miss and
would win the heart of any aud
fence with her smile. Cecil Lean
had everybody waiting for his ap-
pearance because when he came
on 1t meant good catchy songs
with plenty of life in them. His
singing of Bright Eyes" Cheer
Up Honey" and He's a Fan, Fan,
Fam" accompanied by Miss Hol-
brook, called for encore after en-
