was made in Ios Angeles some eight
years ago, and that one which is now
in force in Seattle. If it ia adopted
nere it win mane no cnange in tne num
ber of saloons, but it will remove the
possibility of any saloon being opened
In any residence district It will in
effect narrow the contest between the
saloon and anti-saloon forces down to
the question of whether the . aaloons
now In existence in the business dis
tricts shall be closed or allowed to re
main. It means, in short, that all of
the city outside the immediate vicinity
of the existing saloons shall be declared
to be perpetually dry by the city coun
cil. V
The liquor merchants of the ctty are
not planning to reach out into the res
idence districts, and- we are offering
this suggestion to show our good faith
towards the residents of the city," said
a - prominent member of the executive
committee this morninsr. "Bv the clan
proposed it is intended that practically
all of the city outside the business dis
tricts be declared dry by ordinance of
the council.
"On the east side, for examble. out.
side of the main business section there
are about five little saloons, situated
at widely scattered 4 points. These
places have been in operation for years,
nave been conducted in a quiet and
orderly manner and have had ho com
plaint made against them. They are
looked upon by the residents . in the
vicinity as conveniences rather than as
menaces. They represent the invest
ments of orderly cltlsens. In the oast
the opponets of the saloon have sub
mitted the question to the voters of' the
districts of whether these little places
should remain open or be closed and
each -time the voters have decided to
allow . them to remain. We therefore
believe it to be the sentiment of the
people affected that- the daces remain
.But." continued tne speaker, "we do
not ask that tne wnoie nrecinct or aia
trict be open to saloons. we have
asked that in these isolated instances
that boundaries be drawn close about
tne places, leaving an tne district ex
tending on , every side perpetually in
tne ary column ana aeniea to- saloons.
This arrangement we consider to be
fair and will, if approved by the coun
cil, make it out of the question for a
new saloon ever to open in the city
outside or tne main xiown town dusi
ness districts of the - east and- west
sides."
Should the council establish' the boun
daries asked for, the action would not
Interfere in, any way with tbe opera
tlon of the local option law. It would
still be tpossible -for the anti-saloon
people tat call local option elections in
the oreclncts where saloons were In
operation and, if possessing sufficient
strengin, put tne saioons out or oust-
nessV' '-v . ; -
The Plan proposed win be consid
ered by the liquor license committee
and report . made upon it to the city
council, perhaps at the V meeting to be
held next Wednesday.

f rTHIS year's "Nemo Week is more than
?i usually attractive, and there are two eood
M 1 - . M .. A- ..
reasons wny retailers are anxious io co-operate
with us to make this annual event a great success.
1. Nemo Corsets are not like ordinary corsets.
Each is a patented specialty that does something
reduces the abdomen, strengthens. the back,
straightens the form, or brings health, comfort and
style in Borne way quite its own. Nemos must be u n
derstood. To know Nemo Corsets is to wear them.
2. The phenomenal success of the Nemo has
naturally brought forth many worthless imitations,
which are so adroitly named and so skillfully mis
represented that any woman who doesn't happen to
know, may easily be deceived. It is only right
and fair to give all women every opportunity to
guard themselves against such imposition.
MERCHANTS generally recognize these facts,
" and desire to protect their trade by expos
ing frauds "Nemo Week", gives them an excep
tional opportunity to explain to their trade the inval
uable patented special features that have made Nemo
Corsets famous throughout the world.
THE new Nemo models are of absorbing interest.
Some of them are entirely new Inventions,
producing results heretofore thought impossible.
TPHE wonderful "Back-Resting," and the ingen
ious and lissome "Willow-Shape," should be
studied carefully by women of slender and me
dium figure, while the stout woman will rejoice
in the new "Flatning-Back" modsls in the "Self
Reducing" styles, whereby graceful Princesse effects
may be attained even by fleshy women.

"Nemo Week" is an) educational eyent, for it teaches women how to be shapely and stylish
without transgressing the laws of health and hygiene. It demonstrates that, though the first great
Nemo success was the famous "Self-Reducing" Corset, the new Nemo models for slender figures are
superlatively chie and dainty as well as hygienic - - - - - - " -
