SEATTLE. Oct 2S.-Those betting on Wilson to carry Washington have run the Hughes men into their holes. There is no money to be had today to bet that Hughes will carry Washington.

While other fathers priced their girls
Ano gave them love and wealth
Her stingy father wouldn't spend
Enough to save her health
But left her to his second wife
Who grudged her light and food ard

A prosperous farm well-kept home
For others on the place
No milk, no eggs, no apples red
For little starving Grace
No clothes or heat to keep her warm
No decent bed for that frail form.

She longed for mother dear,
But even those who knew her once
Were barred from coming near
No sympathy and no relief
None to assuage her maddening grief.

Believes Spain Must
Decide in FAVOR of One or
the Other Belligents Soon

Paris. Sept. II. = Spain must de-
eide in favor of one or the other of
the groups of belligerents in the op-
inion of Antonio Maura, former Pre-
mier and Leader of the Conservative
party according to news dispatches
from Madrid quoting an address de-
livered by Senior Maura.
The address was delivered at Ber-
anga. near Bilbao at meeting at
tended by 5000 Mauristas. The form
er premier declared, according to the
dispatches, that Spain could not aban-
don her neutrality but that the con-
dition of the war made her isolation
henceforth impossible. He is quoted
as saying that it was moreover es-
sential that France and England
should not be hostile towards Spain.
The Madrid dispatches predict that
Senior Maura's speech will cause a
strong impression throughout the
country as his prestige was never so
high as at present The majority OF
his followers are supposed to be pro-
German in their sympathies.

How To Have Natural
Rosy Cheeks

There is nothing that adds to the
beauty of a woman so much as nice
pink cheeks. They take years of time
from her looks and add an irresistible
charm to her appearance. Not so, how
ever with the painted or artificial kind
as such methods are too disgusting 10
countenance.
If your pink complexion is fading or
If it has already been lost through
trouble, worry or Ill health get from
your druggist a little ordinary am-o-
nized cocoa cream and apply this to
your cheeks once or twice daily. There
Is nothing unnatural or unpleasant a bout
this process. By its nourishing pro-
perties it gently draws the color to the
cheeks and its tonic action on the skin
is S beneficial to the complexion as it
is pleasant to use. AS it is absorbed
quickly, results, of course, are imme-
diate. The cheeks become beautifully
pink, fresh and girlish in appearance
Where cosmetics invariably harm the
skin am-o-nized cocoa cream is posi-
lively beneficial. That's the difference.
1t keeps the skin so nourished and in
vigorated that it must be pink and
beautiful. 1t does not matter how pale
you are, just use it twice a day and you
will wonder at the girlsh glow that 1t
brings to your cheeks. Besides, you
would never think of having a made up
complexion when once you see how
easy it is to have natural rosy cheeks
of your own.-Advertisemen

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsitied
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly inture the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or. two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and 1t leaves. 1t fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Important Changes Are
Believed Impending in Near
East Political Situation

London. Sept. II. The political
situation in the near East is of no
less interest to European capitals at
the moment than the military outlook,
as it is believed important changes are
impending. The reasons which
prompted Premier Zaimis, of Greece,
to present his resignation are not set
forth in the dispatches from Athens,
except that he complained internal
incidents were preventing him from
dealing with the external situation. 1t
is believed in London that his offer to
resign was due to the fact that he
accepted the post on the understand
ing that he was to maintain neutrality
and that in view of the Bulgarian oc-
cupation of Greek territory he finds
this no longer possible. Should
Greece decide to join the entente she
will do so. 1t Is understood here, with
out any guarantees for the future.
There was time when the entente
was ready to offer Greece territorial
advantage in relation for her military
assistance. The time has passed and
If Greece now comes in, according to
report, she must waive the question of
conditions except that the allies will
agree to place munitions and equip
ment at her disposal.
English political writer's say that
the purpose of the visit of King Fer
dinand of Bulgaria. to Emperor Will
liam is believed to be to lay down
conditions under which Bulgaria will
continue to fight.
