you have to wash your own face. Hair

A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the G. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other parti*
culars consult your nearest Steamship Agent.
