THIS FAMILY
NEEDS A LIFT

One of the most pitiful cases of
deserving charity ever brought to
light by the police was uncovered
Tuesday afternoon by Police Ma
iron Buck, following the death OF
Miss Alice Brace in the county
hospital.
Mrs. Buck found that the young
woman's father had been helpless
with tuberculosis for two years,
and that the mother, Mrs. NJ.
Brace, 2402 Puyallup avenue, was
attempting to support and school
six other small children.
The unfortunate mother re-
ceiyes a mothers pension, but this
is all too inadequate. The pitt
full family had utterly no Christ
mas cheer this year, the death
and disclosure of conditions COM
ing on the day following the holt
day.
Police officers circulated a Pc
tition among themselves Wednes-
day to raise funds for the funeral
of Miss Brace, and within an hour
had obtained $14.95.
Mrs. Buck is attempting to OBJ
tain food and clothing for the
family. Donations may be either
taken direct to the Brace home
or delivered to the police matron''
quarters at the city hall.

the Team Owners association of
Tacoma, who declared that city
teams had been used to make
roadway along the Mckinley ave-

The city required the T. r. G. p.

the tracks in a firm manner. The

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-"Ras-
putin" the Siberian peasant priest
and confessor, reported to be die
tator in the imperial court of Rus
STA, wants a separate peace with
Germany, according to 1lliodor,
the Mad Monk of Russia" who
was. at the beginning of the war,
chaplain of the imperial court of
Petrograd.
llliodor recently came before
the public when he brought suit
against a magazine for breach
of contract, alleging the magazine
had contracted to publish articles
disclosing affairs of the Russian
court and had then suddenly an
nulled the contract.
Rasputin, according to Illiodor,
is backed by the cZarina and other
strong influences in Potrograd in
his efforts at a separate peace
which will remove Russia from
the side of the allies.
A great struggle is being waged
in Petrograd against Rasputin and
upon the victory of the peasant
dictator or his downfall will hang
whether Russia continues the war

START WAR ON BIRTH
CONTROL AS a VICE
BY Altman

Only two Of the nine physician
committee men who have been in
vestigating the question for six
months reported in favor of a
state law permitting doctors to ad-
wise married patients on birth con-
troll methods.
DR.. Ira s. Vile, who, with Or.
s. A. Tannenbauk, submitted the
minority favorable report, jumped
to his feet and yelled:
This society contains members
who perform illegal operations
which is far worse than giving
advice on birth regulation-and

Out of 40 persons who took
advantage of the last day of reg

Persons who are not registered, CT

FACE TRIAL TOGETHER

Sitting side by side, Tex YER

his young wife, were placed on
trial in the federal court Wednes-

The jury was chosen quickly

For Separate Peace?

or not, Illiodor said.
The appointment of Premier
Sturmer, an alleged pro-German
and advocate of separate peace, IL
liodor said, was one OF Rasputin's
moves and the subsequent down
fall of Sturmer and the naming of
Trepoff as premier was one of the
greatest blows dealt to the power
of the peasant priest.
This change was demanded by
England, he said.

MAKING NEVADA DRY

An incident happened in Phoebe lasts Saturday which has created sen
timent towards making Nevada a "dry' sate-f nothing else. Some
Young men, all under the age of 2l-some of them mere boys, came here
from a neighboring town to play ball. 1t appears that several OF the
youngsters, feeling that inasmuch as they were away from parental e
straint, that they could o a few wild oats and father and mother at
home would be none the wiser. The hand of the tenpter went out; the
boys discovered a avenue whereby they could obtain cigars and liquor
and the result w some Of them imbibed altogether too freely: wnere-
upon Sheriff Ronnow and District Attorney Orr stepped in and began
n investigation The young lads were invited to visit the courthouse
and it is said the officers have obtained information as to where the
liquor a obtained and which will probably lead to a prosecution of an
alleged offender of the law.
This is not the first time that liquor has been dispensed to minors
in Phoebe. There are other cases where boys OF a tender age have been
badly intoxicated. District Attorney Orr has been unable heretofore to
obtain evidence sufficient upon which to base a prosecutions; but he is
determined to ferret out this case and he will have the support OFT the
public in % doing. If he finds that some saloon is selling intoxfcants
to minors. steps will be taken to revoke the hcer;e of the place which
carries o II such a business.
The selling of liquor to minors is clearly against the law and should
not be tolerated. If the guilty parties are found they should be prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the law and denied the chance OF re-
engaging in the saloon business again anywhere in the county. The rep
utable saloon men should assist the officers in finding ut who the
offenders ire; for such fragrant violations o.. the law. if allowed to con-
tnue, will lead to other result than to make Nevada as dry as a
powder horn-Pioche Record.

Republican opposition to Woodrow manifests itself in much talk in
congress and out, but when of the Wilson administration measures
comes to a vote, even the Republicans dare not oppose it. The rural

even reached a vote under Republican rule. That is a circumstance that
the farmers Of the nation will no. forget.

O DOGS TAILS

When a dogs tail whips to and fro frantcany he is not carrying
% an aimless muscular exercise. He is signaling the thoughts and feel
ings which he cannot put into words. 1t is his W code, and varies
according to the message he wishes to flash on his rearward semaphore.
He has a short twhchng motion that expresses anxiety and interest,"
a violent lashing that makes known his enthusiasm and affection. a
steady whipping from side to side that spells hunger. and a notion1ess
droop that signals defeat and Encouragement. Canine experts have al
ways been able to read these wigwaggings, but it took science o explain
why the dog used them.
This is the explanation. When a dog is pleased and delighted he
must have some outlet for his feelings. Just as a bashful boy in the
presence of ladies twirs his cap or twists about wildly in his chair, n
floor and holds his sides the dog wags his tail. The human beings in
the situations described above are striving through physical action to
relieve the strain on their nerves. Embarrassment must be relieved
through some outward convulsion of muscles.
Fdo becomes filled with JOY and his tail, like a safety valve, takes
the pressure off his nervous system. His emotions must be Translated
into physical manifestation.
