Everybody knows that poison
will relieve pain-for while.
That's all it will do. except to
wreck the nerves and vitals. A
medicine without poison won't

ever tomorrow That always
happens when you take drugs.
The best way to cure any trou-
BILE Is to help Nature cure IL.
Drugs don't do that. Nature de-
mands power, strength. vitality.
You get that from electricity.
There's q whole lot to know
about applying electricity so that

good many years learning how
10 use It successfully. and We'll
give you the benefit of our
knowledge. Our Electra-vita is

Eiectra-vita is the dry cell

The world is bound to take note Of the fact that
Tacoma leads in the the Pacific ocean
of all Northwestern ports shown by the semi
annual report of the customs collector.
A margin of 81, 190522 over Seattle in six months
shows which city is developing in the commercial
field. In six months the aggregate commerce that
passed over Tacoma wharves was $22 O9l,8l4 That
is lot Of money. It represents lot of business
and Tacoma is doing it.
The beating of toms toms and the assumption OF
superiority by lesser industrial cities may tenn
porarily count but in the long Tacoma is bound
to come out on top by reason OF these commercial
advantages Commerce goes where it can find the
least resistance commercially speaking, and that
place on the Pacific is Tacoma.

City Birthday Parties

Persons have birthday parties. Why shouldn't
cities?
Some cities do, regularly, every year. Cleveland
does-a Tom Johnson institution. Seeing that folks
liked circus effects Tom had the city departments
show off in annual parades, with as many picnlcs
and frolics on the side the people wanted.
It helped to establish city sense-to get busy,
work-a-day folks to comprehend what their servants
in office doing for them.
This year. for reasons of temporary economy,
Cleveland decided to forego it's parade. But Mayor
Baker has asked the folks to take day off, or half
day, and inspect all of dozen or so big i'm
provements into which the city's money and energy
are being invested. Moreover, the parks will have
special attractions for the mothers and children
there will be big birthday party even if there ism
to be big parade.
And why not? Your city is lots closer to you than
your county or state or nation and of vastly bigger
consequence in your daily life than the memory OF
the historic personages for whom usually declare
holidays.
Strikes us it wouldn't be bad idea if every city
had birthday parties

All Our Friends Now

The colored postmaster in the south who assured
q joshng democrat that 'there amt no adminstra-
ton that kin change quicker l kin" had nothing
on the senators of the United States.
Since the direct election amendment went into
effect it's hard to recognize in these smiling, hand
shaking, deferential courtiers of the people those
naughty statesmen who used to hold themselves so
severely aloof.
Think of the senate finance committee taking a
low tariff bill from the house and actually chipping
it down some more.
Think of such ringsters as Penrose hiking about
through Pennsylvania, making speeches at county
fairs, stage-managed chamber OF commerce dinners
and even labor conventions

babies, and then we IL have to call for the sanitary

comedians of the vaudeville
stage.
In contrast to the masculine
brand of humor which McKenna
dispenses, Maidie belong will be
feature of the bill with a brand
of humor that is distinctly femi-
nine. Miss belong is a singing
coincidence. She is particularly
successful in character songs and
is said to be convulsing in a
number of her novel song num-
bers.
THE Favorite" is the title OF
a new race-track comedy and
dramatic sketch which is just
now one of the successes touring
the Pantages. Thrills will be
provided on the new bill by the
two La Volos. A young man and
a charming girl give a remark
ably skillful exhibition on the
tight and slack wire. The Trou-
badors are three young men
whose coiyes blend tremendously
in a number of clever new songs.

"Our New Minister" like
1.-THE Old Homestead" depicts
life in a country village and is
full of quaint characters and
clean fun such as one would eX-
pect when the play bears Thomp-
sons name as it's author. The
play tells of young clergyman
of modern ideas who tries to in
troduce some of his human theo-
ries into a little country congre-
cation. His interest in a certain
ex-convict of the village, who
was trying to lead a straight life
but was finding it difficult on &C
count of the narrow-mindedness
of certain good folks of the viii
lage, brought down on him the
displeasure of some of the leaders
of his church. His advanced ideas
did not seem like Christianity to
them, and a clique formed to try
and get rid of him.
In the cast will be Warda
Howard, John Lorenz, George
Zucco, James Mott, Neil McKin-
non, Frederick Harrington, Dor

Three Little Words: 81 Love
YOU"
Dear Miss Grey: This may
sound foolish, but believe me
it is from the bottom of my
heart. Why will men never
learn to tell their wives,
whether young or old, of tho
love they must feel for them?
Is it so hard to say those
three little words, 1 love you,
at least once a day, and mean
it? No matter how deep and
broad his love if he goes day
in and day out without saying
anything about it. Can he
possibly know of all the
doubts and heartaches his
thoughtlessness causes? 1 tell
you wife likes to be assured
of her husbands love once in
awhile at least. It's hard for
her to take thing like that
for granted always. Would
that they all would try it. I
thank you, Miss Grey.
A YOUNG WIFE.

cially when she has been overfe,

A Woman on Free Motherhood
Dear Miss Grey: Per-
haps the "Mother of Two
Babes" did not mean to do
away with the marriage law,
but to substitute a law that
does not make her a SEX
slave of the man she marries.
She probably wants law
that allows her to have do
minion over her own body,
SO that the children may be
desired, and not the result
of qualification.
The cry of "Free Mother
hood" was the cry of a wom-
an who desires the best con-
ditions in which to gestate
her unborn child, and not
conditions which no man
would allow for animals pro-
ducing young for his finan-
cial benefit. Marriage may
be divinely ordained, but our
marriage laws do not
carry il out, do not civilize
a people, and result in "sow-
ing of the flesh" from
which the Bible says Eye
shall reap corruption" Our
land is flooded with cOrrup-
ton in- the form of the So
called white plague.

dealers in 1899 all agreed to advance
the price 50 a ton. In 1900. according
to the minutes OF the Carnegie COM
pany, Mr.. Gayiey presented to the ore
association a proposition not to- sell
"their surplus ore to which they
seemed favorably disposed"
was this arrangement carried out %

Il don't recall that 1t got beyond the
talking stage"

tinued, came to the steel corporation
in 1904 and wanted it to buy 1850. eco
tons OF ore, ito prevent Decentralization
of the market" The corporation re-
fused to do this. he said, but advised
the association not to sell for less than
$5 ton. The corporation. Mr.. Gay

price of ore reduced as this would
reduce the price of steel.
The association, however, sold very

SEVENTY-0NE LOST LIVES

Berlin, March e.-The total number
of killed as the result of the ramTning
of torpedo boat destroyer "S 17s" by
the Yorck OF Helgoland was given Of
ficially as 1.-TWO officers and sixty
nine men. 1t was stated by the ad-
miralty that most of these did not die
by drowning, but were frozen to death
while clinging to loose spars after the
destroyer sank.
The official account of the disaster
states that the destroyer while cross
ing the bows of the Yorck became un-
manageable owing to the terrific seas
and was cut in two by the bigger
vessel which was going at full speed.
The storm made the rescue of the men
almost impossible and many of the
bodies were not picked up until this
morning.
