More than ordinary interest
will center in the new Photoville
bill opening at the Hippodrome
theater Sunday because of the
fact that two former Tacoma boys
who have established themselves
in vaudeville, will be the headline
feature of the new program.
Reeder and Mcdonald are the
boys who will be in headline posi-
tion on the new bill. Mcdonald
is a former Stadium high student
who has found his way into yau-
deville through his ability at the
piano. The boys are known as
the Piano Bugs and in their act
make use of two pianos on the
stage.

TIGERS COMING
HOME MONDAY

SPOKANE, July 15.-Seeking
revenge for the lacing of the
previous day, when he was knock
ed out of the box in the third,
Pitcher Noble of the Indian team
yesterday made the Tigers look
like a bunch of amateurs. He
kept them helpless until the
eighth inning, and then it was 100
late for the Tacoma scores to
count for anything.
Russ Halls men didn't have
chance after the third. In tnat
inning Spokane made three runs,
through punched hits and clever
base running. Dutch" Mehlhaf
was hit hard and often, the Red
Men taking II bingles during the
contest.
. . . .
There will be a double-header
in Spokane tomorrow, If the
weather is good. Sunday night
the Tigers and Indians leave for
Tacoma, where on Monday they
open a weeks series. 1t will he
the first appearance of the Tigers
on the home lot in q days.
In Great Falls this afternoon
there will be two games, the first
starting at $3.50 and the second at
$50. The games at Great Falls
have been played at odd hours all
week, owing to show in Earring
park called 1.-THE Passing of the
West" There will be a double
header Sunday, also.
. . . .
Detroit is keeping its eyes on
Skeeter Bigbee, the star center
fielder of the Tigers. Billy Sui
Ivan, scout for tn Detroit Tigers,
has been in Spokane this week
giving Bigbee the once over. 1t
is reported that Sullivan Is ready
to buy the youngster IL he can
come to terms with Hall. Al
though Tacoma will sorely miss
the plucky little fielder, we can't
hardly blame Hall for selling him,
considering the bad luck he has
had all season.

Great Falls is kicking again.
This time the Montana town Is
complaining against Umpire Har-
~ Howell. 1t is charged that
Pitcher Acosta used the bean

Particularly shattered is the party's
peace OF mind.
The Bennett tourist agency today
threatened to sue the expedition for
$13, 1000, alleging that the delegates
engaged for a ship to take them to
The Hague. after they had obtained
permission to cross Germany.
Still another unpeaceful symptom
was the threat OF Rexford Holmes,
discharged party stenographer, to sue
for alleged slander, though attorneys
counselled against such action.
Then, to add to the gayety of the
situation, the newspapers here print
lurid reports Of the Austro-Amerlcan
situation, and this makes some OF the
delegates fear that trouble will break
out while they are crossing Germany.

TRY ITl SUBSTITUTE FOR
NASTY CALOMEL.
Starts Your Liver without Max.
ina You Sick and Can
not SaliVate.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs so
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting. purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat-
ed bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition.
