THE JUNGLE QUEEN"
GREAT ANIMAL DRAMA

This picture play viii be at the
Wednesday, May 10. Di-
rector McRac, it must be aGmitted, has
produced the most thrilling wild ami
NAL drama ever filmed, in "The Jun
gle Queen Compared with other SEN
satUns the Universal is willing to
place it alongside any jungle photo
drama yet produced by any moving
picture company. The play is not
built up around one sensational scene,
but is fairly jammed with them. Lions
tigers, leopards and jaguars are shot
before the lens to provide a treat for
film spectators, and cost has not been
considered in producing the feature
film.
The Jungle Queen" contains so
many thrills that at first it was deem
ed impossible to submit the feature to
the public in less than four reels, but
judicious and careful cutting has
shortened the film to ;Wo reels of the
most exciting action possible. Sup
porting Miss Walcamp in the princi-
pal roles are DeX De Rossel yelling.
ton Playter, and Sherman Bainbridge.
The play will be shown at the Thea
torium tomorrow Wednesday,.

Quickly Relieves
Without Distress

The congestion of waste and
refuse from the stomach, ferment-
ing in the bowels, generates poison
Gus gases that occasion distress
and invite serious illness. Health
and comfort demand that this con
gestion be speedily relieved and
the foul mass expelled.
The well founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgative agents is ov-
ercome by using the combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin
that is sold in drug stores under
the name of DR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. A dose at night brings re-
lief next morning, without discom-
fort or inconvenience. A free trial
bottle can be obtained by writing
to DR.. w. b. Caldwell, ASP Washing

To Get Rid of Fleas.

Sand forms the best surface on
which to expose garments or bedding
infested with fleas. If the sunlight is
strong enough to raise the tempera-
ture of the sand to 100 degrees the
fleas will be destroyed within an hour,
provided there is no vegetation or
shade where they can take refuge.

Democratic Deficits Make Republican
Maiorities

TNHE Administration cut the bottom out Of
our revenue system. It then built new
pipes from the pockets Of citizens to the ma
tlonal till. Through one, carrying the income
tax 1t was expected that the exchequer could
be kept filled. But the experiment was dis
NAL failure, So the second was constructed,
and through It flow the war taxes Yet still
the intake is not equal to the outgo. There is
deficiency, really colossal deficit.
That deficit appears in cold figures in the
Governments reports The other defcit, far
more vast and awful in its effects, is the un-
measured deficit in the pockets OF citizens
throughout the whole country deficit occa-
stoned by the reputation OF the fiscal policy
on which the prosperity of many Of our
greatest industries was based. The Govern
ment's income has been unequal to its out
lay That reflects the situation in which
thousands, even Millions of citizens have
found themselves. Congress legislated the
national treasury into stringency; It forced
that same stringency into the pockets of
more than half the population.
It is current gossip that the war will carry
President Wilson into another term. On the
contrary, free trade will carry him into de-
feat as emphatic as was his success in 1912.
Prosperity is something the American people
must have. They are not enjoying it, al
though millions and millions of foreign gold
has been poured into the country. This ndi
Gates how horrible conditions were, how hope
less of actual betterment without a return to
the wise policy under which the national
wealth had doubled and redoubled.
For the one lesson that he who runs may
read, the one sure conclusion to be reached
from the experimentation of the last three
years is that of all our economic policies pro-
lection is the most essential and important.
1t will be years before the nation will ever
again vote against 1t or the people fail to
mass themselves in its support

One hundred and thirty-nine years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent new

of American independence. Therefore we cele-
brate It as Independence Day. But what,
after ALL is it's real meaning?
The early history of this country has been

to slip out and bury the pudding under the
hedge Little Johnny worked swiftly and was
back with the empty dish before Sadie
showed up again from the kitchen. When she
saw all the empty plates she was enraptured.
She stayed.
BY means of some flnesse she was pre-
vented from perpetrating any more puddings
and in the course of time the "missus" taught
her to make other and more simple desserts,
or else ordered in pastry and ices.
Too Much Expected of Them
In the family where Sadie still dwells she
Is listed a paragon. But first she had to
be anayzed as a human being All house,
wives will tell you how they humor and put
up with their domestics But as a matter of
fact they do not. They may try to, but in
going about it they trust too much to their
instinct and fail utterly to make a competent
study of the subject. Undeveloped reasoning
powers are not carefully reckoned with. For
getfulness is a common human fallbility, but
in hired girl 1t amounts to cardinal sin.

cook, yet they expect greenhorn who has

be corrected by a series of fines. And then
the noise they make with their dishwashlng.
Possibly this noise is sweet music to them
If they have no one to talk to the crashing

of companionship.
The great trouble is, as it seems to a man
who thinks he observes closely, that wives
do not check UP sufficiently on themselves
when they do their own housework If they
would keep close tabs on their own errors
and shortcomings they would soon be Infinite
ly better equipped to deal with human aver

Market Price of Councilmen

THIS Liberty Bell affair is teaching us a
1 lot about our Councilmen. The latest
thing Is their innate caution and sound busl-
ness sense.

guardsmen take out accident policies the
committee announces that 1t will not insure

vandalism. This is no mere case Of Councils
welI-known economy with public funds 1t
goes deeper. Our Councilmen may mperil
Americas finest historic symbol by trip
which they themselves won't risk without in
surance; but they know the futility of esti-
mating the value of their free pass to the
Panama Exposition in dollars and cents. Sem
timental and historic associations are not to
be measured in terms of commerce
The price of a Councilman, on the other
hand, is another matter. The loss of a city

on a cash basis, Such at least, is the general
