Woman Lives
On S88 a Year

Could you live on $3.50 for
a whole year? This is the amount
Of an expense account turned In
by the guardian of Mary Catherine
Anderson, an old woman who lives
at Puyallup. The amount also
includes 1910 which was paid
as taxes on her small home in the
valley.
Mary Anderson is over 80 years
old and lives alone in her little
home. About three years ago she
was judged incompetent to care
for herself and a guardian was APP
pointed by Judge Card. Even with
the increased cost of living the old
woman's expense account has not
risen from that of last year. She
had only one pair of shoes during
that year and one new dress. Yet
she was warm, comfortably fed
and dressed.

LIBERALS
GAINING

Uui,ed Pres. Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. s.
Preliminary reports indicated to-
day that Germany is indisposed to
accept Lloyd Georges peace terms
as a basis for negotiations.
However, other advices showed
that Germany's liberals are be-
ginning to assert themselves more
than ever before. This
gave some hope that the internal
reconstruction. 'esired by the al
lies and the United States as
peace basis will eventually get
under way.
The liberals opposition to Ger
many's annexation plans for Rus
sia was considered as perhaps the
most hopeful sign the Teuton
mind has shown.
Protection against future wars
is one OF the main things the al
lies want. however, In any peace
agreement now reached.
Meantime, Germany's utter dis
honesty. even with her own peo-
pie, was clearly proved today by
secret censorship regulations pub
lished by the state department,
showing a complete press control.
Liberal speeches were suppressed.
news OF suspicious fires or disas-
ters withheld, comment on for
eign news OF extreme political sig
nificance was colored to suit Ger
man government purposes; efforts
were made to cheer the Tagging
spirits OF the wearied Austrians.
One secret circular to the press
held that there was certain
amount Of bluff" about American
war preparations, but added, the
fact must be overlooked that
the United States, with the sup
port of its capacity for material
and industrial management, Is
arming itself for war with great
energy and tenacity."
Germany's food shortage was
reflected In one memorandum
saying advertisements In which
dog flesh is offered for sale are
not allowed. Their acceptance Ia
forbidden.

PARK

Sam Howe's Big Show presents the latest rib tlckler and gloom annihila- tor The Butterflies of Broadway" at the Park theater, for three nights, beginning tonight with daily mat Inees. In this attraction we have an excellent illustration of the rapid shtrides burlesque has made during the past ten years. Of the better sort and thoroughly up to the very minute this production bids fair to establish a record-breaking engagement and at the same time pave the way for a real innovation in an offering constructed, arranged and produced on different lines.
 The humor Is not hoakum or tricks long ago produced as useless by regi- timate experts in fun. The book which Is in two acts and five scenes contains any amount of bright, pi- Quant and witty lines, and that in point of treatment and presentation this wonderful achievement stands alone. Exceptional care has been taken to selectsthe cast as the append ed roster of aTtists will tetstify: Sam Howard formerly of the Bell Boy Trio" and a brother to Eugene and Willie Howard; Helen Tarr, Bur lesque's daintiest prima donna; Hat tie Beall, Jeanette Colbert, Grace Ire mont, Basil Buck, Gus F1aig, Lester Dorr and a chorus of thirty men and women (mostly girls).

GLASS OF SALTS
 CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat
 less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your pack feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which re- moves the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal ac- tivity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn ing for few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutrali2e the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness,
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking. and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.--Adv.
