Avalanche Duel
Is the Latest

GENEVA, May 27.-A duel by
an avalanche was the method
chosen by two rivals for the hand
of an Italian girl. To settle their
claims the men, who live at Cour-
mayeur, below Mount Blanc, de-
cided to stand for several hours
every day in the path usually fol-
lowed by avalanches on the noun
tain side until one of them was
swept to death. One of the men
was struck today by an avalanche,
but he received only slight in
juries.

OUEVL| MAKES
REPORT ON
NEW CURE

DR.. Christian Quevli. state pres
ident of the Anti-Tubereulosis So
ciety of Washington. does not
think the Friedman cure will
bring the desired result of freeing
the world from the great white
plague.
In a letter to Mayor Seymour
from New York, where DIR. Quevii
is now, he says that he has eX-
amined many of the cases that
were treated with the Friedman
serum and that they show no i'm
provement as a result of the treat
ment.
He also reports that a treat
ment being heralded from Chicago
is failure and that the world will
probably have to rely on the old
methods of fresh air and sunshine
coupled with rest and good food.

It's fairy tale. And only a
Maude Adams can interpret it for
the little children as she did las.
night at the Tacoma theater
where grown-ups and little ones
alike devoured the fascinating
story of "Peter Pan," the youth
who didn't want to be president.
No wonder Maude Adams plays
to packed houses; no wonder chill

holds herself aloof from undo

makes millions for Frohman.
Maude Adams Is a real fairy.
Her personality is irresistible
Her acting to please the children
is superb. Her art seems to have
been decided her by tine gods of
Fairyland.
Those of you who have seen
Maude Adams In "Chantecler"
and saw her last night in "Peter
Pan" can appreciate the wonder

This is the story Of peter

Peter Pan, the boy who

home when he was a day old and
Joined the fairies, so that he
wouldn't have to wear long trous-
ers and become president some
day. On one of his mischievous
pranks in a perfectly modern
household he lost his shadow,
and, returning for It later, be-
came acquainted with the three
children of the family.
The story of Peter Pan then
tells of his experiences In leading
these children through the land
of fairies. Pirates pursue them
and make life miserable at inter-
walls, but the bright, unfailing
smile and CHEEKY music of Peter
Pan drives all trouble and wor-
ries away.

II woman's beauty depended
upon cosmetics every woman

But beauty lies deeper than that.
1t lies in health. In the major
ity of cases the basis of health,
and the cause of sickness, can be
traced to the action of the bow

The headaches, the lassitude,
the sallow skin and the lusterless
eyes are usually due to constipa-
ton. So many things that women
do habitually conduce to this
trouble. They do not eat care
fully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the par
tlcular cause may be it is i'm
portant that the condition should
be corrected.

delicate requirements, is DR..
