After being defeated in two dcsper-
ate hand to- hand conflicts, Peter An
derson, private. Company Z, Second
Montana infantry, was finally con-
quered by the enemy last night and
placed in the city Jail. Anderson, who
is well over six feet tall. was defeated
by two husky mattresses at the North
ern Pacific lunch counter in the initial
encounter, and was routed again in a
minute by Patrolman Moore.
Anderson checked some parcels ut
lunch counter preparatory to leaving
for the guard post to which he was
assigned. A few minutes later when
he appeared to claim his parcels. the
check was gone. In the ensuing argu :
ment Anderson slapped one Of the
mattresses. and right there the trouble
began. The offended waitress and hel
companion both attacked the khaki.
clad one with fists. nails and any other
weapon that was handy. and elected
him from the lunch room, after con.
siderable furniture had been upset.
Patrolman Moore was called to take
found him on the platform in a fight
ing mood. Anderson, though nearly 3
! foot taller than Moore, had little
| chance. and after being floored 6
couple of times. was subdued an,
| taken to the police station, with :
| well-defined trail giving evidence o
the ruthlessness of the battle. 1t i.

tain the action of the proper pace. The

JAIL CAGE MENDED
TO PREVENT LEAKS

Cell No. in the city Jail is just as
safe as any other compartment in the
special apartments in the basement of
the city hall. Yesterday a blacksmith
was called in to repair the damages
done by a prisoner who escaped from
the cell several weeks ago by forcing
out section of the bars at the bot
tom of the cage, and from now on it
will be impossible for any impatient
vioators of the law to crawl out of
the hole and gain liberty.
The initial step towards freedom by
means of this hole was taken by Sam
Melby a few weeks ago. Melby in some
manner obtained an artificial lever,
and forced the bar at the bottom of
the cell out, leaving Il hole n little
over a foot square. He crawled out
OF the hole, and walked out of the
basement door.
Later a cripple escaped from the cell
by taking off his clothes and crawling
out. A couple of days ago another
prisoner made good his escape in the
same manner, but now the way Is
barred forever.

To Ward Off Summer
Complexion Ills

To keep the face smooth. white and
beautiful all summer, there's nothing
quite so good as ordinary mercolized
wax. DiscolOred or freckied skin. SO
common at this season, is gently alb
sorbed by the wax and replaced by the
newer. fresher skin beneath. The face
exhibits no trace of the wax. which il
applied at bedtime and washed off
mornings. Greasy creams. powders and
roughcs, on the other hand. are apt to
appear more conspicuous than usual
these days OF excessive Precipitation.
Just get an ounce of mercolized wax at
any drug store and use like cold
cream. This will help any skin at
once and in a week or so the. complex
ion will look remarkably young and
healthy.
Sun, winds and flying dust often
cause squirting and other contOrtions
which make wrinkles. You can quick
~ get rid of every line. however
caused, by using harmless wash
lotion made by dissolving l OF. pow
dered saxolite in y pit. witch hazel.

Responsible officials are inclined to
make liberal allowance for those with

married men be added the group who
have other dependents the number OF
men exempt because of dependents
will be close to so per cent or 4.l53.847
men. This leaves the same number
available.
But of these 4.153Ss7 men $50 out of
every thousand will have to be elimi-
mated because OF physical defects.
This means approximately 1.C3S,250
men must be rejected because they are
unfit to serve.
This leaves 3.115.597 fit young men
waiting to see whether they will be
selected for service. Out of this
