NEEDY TACOMANS
MUST HAVE WORK

ent of the free employment bu-
reau, l wish to advise our good
citizens that the home conditions
are most distressing at the pres
ent time. Hungry men and wom-
en-, willing and capable in many
lines of work, are day after day
asking for a chance to earn an
honest dollar. This office is ia
miliar with the needs, but is linn
tied in its ability to help. We
therefore most earnestly appeal
to the citizens OF Tacoma to Gre
ate work, be 1t ever so little on
the part of any one, for the en-
ployment of our less favored
brothers and sisters. They must
eat and are anxious to work.
Don't try to get your odd jobs
done for 'hand-out,' but be as
liberal with our own as you are
proving yourselves to be in the
calls from across the seas. We
again earnestly request the CO.
operation of every citizen, Cor
surely crime will increase if the
situation is not met promptly and
generously. j. G. HORNE,
superintendent"

A sure Way TO
END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp-at Once.

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that is to dissolve It.,
then you destroy 1t entirely. To
do this. just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need), apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it
In gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve, and
entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
If you value your hair, you
should get rid of dandruff at
once, for nothing destroys the
hair so quickly. 1t not only
starves the hair and makes 1t
fall out, but 1t makes 1t stringy,
straggly, dull, dry, brittle and
lifeless, and everybody notices 1t.

beer in the lead In the fight for
prohibition. In 1907 Georgia
passed a prohibition law, though
not statewide. Within a year
Oklahoma was admitted to the
Union with a constitutional pro-
hibition against liquor. Alabama
and Mississippi soon followed.
In 1908 prohibition was voted
into the constitution of North
Carolina. Tennessee followed In
909. Alabama Is the only south
ern state wl,ich has dropped out
OF the prohibition column, doing
so in 1911, by repeating the pro-
hibition law and adopted local
option measure. In 1912 West
Virginia voted out saloons.
The prohibition law had a close
call in 1911 in Maine, where II
had been In effect SIS years. 1t
was resubmitted and was carried
by bare majority of 1853.
The prohibition forces have
met with reverses. They failed
to win In Florida, Texas, Arkan-
sas. Missouri. Colorado and Ore
gen within the last four years,
though two of these states accept
ed prohibition this year.
IL two states which voted on
the question this year, the propo-
sition failed to carry. They were
Ohio and California. The Ohio
election was close. but prohibition
was overwhelmingly defeated In
California, probably due to the
extensive wine industry I'm the
state. Under the form in when
the proposition was submitted in
California 1t cannot again be put
to q vote within eight years.
The following are the states in
which the sale of liquor is prohib-
tied: Maine, Kansas, North Da-
kota, North Carolina, Georgia.
Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 23.-Four
out of every five square feet of
the United States Is dry" terri
tory! More than half of the peo-
pie Of the nation live under pro-
hibition!
Such were the astounding facts
submitted in reports to the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union
IN convention here. To the layman
who has viewed the white-rib-
boners figh; without interest the
statistics are astonishing and suf-
ficient to convince the impassive
voter nationwide prohibition Is
far more imminent than imagin-
ed.
Eighty per cent of the territory
Of the United States is dry" OF
the 2,973,S90 square miles that
go to make up continental United
States only 737,S2S miles are
wet" The remaining 2,236.962
are without saloons.
The last census gives the popu-
lation of the United States as 9l,-
9i2,266 persons. OF these 5i,-
1884, reside in territory in
which the sale of liquor is prohib-
tied.
The winning of five states in
the recent elections gives the anti
saloon forces the majority. In
September, Virginia adopted pro-
hibition, and on Nov. 3 Arizona,
Colorado, Oregon and Washing
ton were added to the list.
Now IA states are totally dry
and NO states are totally wet"
Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Mon
tana and Nevada, all mining and
lumber sections, are the only
states which have only minor Pre-.
hibition areas.
In every other state in the
Union the 'drys" hold terri
torial advantage.
In 1868 there were 100000
persons residing in territory in
which the sale of liquor was pro-
hibited. In 1900 the number had
increased to 100000. In 1908
the number had doubled, reaching
100000, and today it is more
than 4S,000.000.

CADILLAC FAILS To

The average business man who prizes
the dictaphone as marvel of time
saving md efficiency, and who appre~
ciates the delicacy Of it's construction,
may find it difficult to believe that the
instrument has been successfully used
in speeding automobile.
Yet that is precisely what was done
in logging the route of a run Of l22
miles near st. Louis. Mo. In this in
stance the dictaphone took the place OF
the laborious writing OF notes bearing
on landmarks, dangerous crossings,
grades, sharp turns, etc.
After several trials and before the
pathfinding run was actually begun, it
best fitted to carry tho dictaphone and
permit of its use while under way. Tho
instrument was placed in the tonneau
and the note maker sat in front beside
the driver, the tube from the dicta.

The practically of the Cadillac two

and steadiness in running was admir-

use while the car was running. not n
single record was marred by vibration.

TO LOWER STATE

Tho United States Tire company has
moved to its new location, corner OF
State street and Exchange place, and
has fitted up one of the classiest of
flee rooms in the city, and the large
and commodious basement is stacked
with all manner of tires that the mo-
toring public may require.
This move has been contemplated foI
some time by w. S. Theobald, the resi-
dent manager, rs the ever increasing
demand for United States tires made a
more central location and storage room
a necessity, and his company instructed
him to spare no pains or expense in
making the Salt Lake branch among
the finest in the organization.
To see how well these instructions
have been carried out it is only neces-
sary TO visit their new quarters and
look them over,
In anticipation of the increased de-
mand for United States tires the COM
ing season, the Salt Lake branch is
in a better position than ever to meet
every want of the motoring public.

Extension Subscriptions.

Candidates shuld be on the watch
for extension subscriptions. An ex-
tension subscription is a second
payment by the same subscriber to
the same contestant. For example
If you secured a three or months
subscription from person, on
which you were allt we'd the regular
member of votes, which would be
1000 tor the three months, or 81
600 for the sty.months, and after
wards obtained fcr this same sub
| scriber subscription which would
extend the entire or combined sub
scription to one year, you would re-
ceive the number of votes for the
second subscription. which would
equal the number of votes you were
/ entitled to on the entire subscrip-
ton. For instance, earlier in the con-
test you received 1900 votes on a
three-months' subscription; now
during this double vote offer you
turn in nine months for the same
subscriber, on this second subscrip-
ton we will give you the difference
between the 1900 already issued
and the $4,000 which you would
receive under the double vote offer
or $4,000 votes. II you have already
turned in a six months subscription
on which you have received 5000
votes and during this double vote Of
fer you should obtain an additional
six months from the same subscrib
er. we will allow you the difference
