"Take My Advice”—Expensive.
From a mereenarj’ atandpoint, the
ihow at the Academy of Music last
night, ' Take My Advice,” which Wm.
Collier is using as a vehicle for star
ring hlms€lf and family, was decided
ly Not a two-dollar show. It was, In
places, a verj’ clever comedy and Mr.
Collier got everything out of it to
inike it a success, but the supporting
CMt was weak and there was not
enough body to the show to give bal-
ince
It seems a pity that such an ex
cellent comedian as Mr. Collier should
take out a show of this order when
there are hundreds of others that
»ould suit him better and out of which
he could make a wonderful success.
From the very beginning one thing
apparent, and that was, if Mr. Col
lier were out of the cast the entire
thing would have fallen flat. There
vere good lines In the piece and when
they appeared they were greeted with
hearty laughs. Each member of the
company was given a few bright bits
•nd that served to scatter them badly
wd this had the effect of making the
Performance drag. It was an uphill
flght for the actors to get the stuff
•cross the footlights and that they did
Jt so well wa§ a compliment to tbeii*
ibtllty.
Another drawback w»i thd ftbfUi)i-
ness of the endings of the aotii ^he
curtain would come down seemingly.
musical melange "Royal Sam.”
"Jolly” Larkins is a big favorite
throughout the south, and is regard
ed as the greatest colored comedian
on the stage. He has' been seen here
sveral times as co-star with “Black
Patti,” and his clever work with the
Patti show has made him a popular
favorite throughout the country. Dur
ing this engagement the entire bal
cony and gallery will be reserved for
colored people. %
“The* Echo.'*
Franker Woods, who will appear In
“The Echo” at the Academy of Music,
Saturday, matinee and night, when
this musical comedy success of the
New York Globe Theatre with its ex
ceptionally large company of capable
players and huge singing and dancing
chorus comes to the Academy of Mu
sic is a far more serious kind of man
than are most actors. He delights in
the acquaintance of well-informed
men, and, when he meets them, fre
quently drifts into conversations so
long that Mrs. Woods, in^ despair,
moves away.
Some few days ago, on a pier at At
lantic City, Mr. Woods got to talking
with a young fellow whose stock of
general information was simply aston
ishing. The debate was on the sub
ject of literature, and the uomedian
drank In his companion’s words of
wisdom with Infinite pleasure. They
discussed Bacon and Emerson among
the philosophers; Browing and Keats
’—vaiu wuma come uown
»t the wrong placo and Ihstead of and Fletcher, ^he

a-vlB professed ignorance of the very

Mr. Woods shifted the conversation
and for a time playwright* were again
the topic. Then Mr. Power broached
Sudermann. His companion had nev
er heard of auch a person. In rapid
succession the man evidenced ^Qual
density on the subject of Van Dyke,
Pinero, Schumann and various cele^
rltles. Mr. Wood* ™
F^naliy, unable to conceal his wonder,
he asked: "Say, old man,
for seeming lnqulBltlv«, but how the
dickens la It that you know «> very
much about some geniuses and so lit
tle about others equally famous.
"It’i very eimple,'* explained his

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 26.—Dr. Har
vey W. Wiley of Washington, D. C.,
chief of the Federal Agricultural De-
partnaent Chemistry Bureau and exhon-
orated star figure In the so-called
Wlley-Pure Food controversy, told the
National Conservation Congress today
that the health of the nation was
worth $540,000,000,000. He made this
estimate on the basis of $600 per cap
ita agerage annual«©arning of 45,000,-
000 adults, each representing a capi
tal of $12,000 invested at five per
cent.
This declaration was made in an
address in which he advocated limita
tion of marriage to normal and healthy
individuals, segregation of tuberculor
and typhoid fever patients as in small
pox, yellow fever and leper cases, es
tablishment of a national department
of health and rigid enforcement of
pure food and drug laws.
Dr. Wiley said that “if in the remote
future coal, iron, gold and silver should
become extinct, science would provide
substitutes,” and that science w^ould
“secure the maintenance and increase
of the wealth in forest, fields and
streams.”
“But there is another natural asset,”
he continued “lying at the very basis
of the prosperity of the country which
is sometimes overlooked, namely the
normal functioning of the human ma
chine, commonly expressed by the term
•health.’ This has more to do with the
happiness, prosperity, and utility of the
human organism than any of the other
natural assets which I have mention
ed.” The dangers which confront this
vast asset of the nation, he said, were
the inheritance of disease or of weak
ened bodies, poor nutrition, unwhole
some and adulterated food, the taking
of disease by infection and unsanitary
conditions, the latter caused by over
crowding In big cities and by lack of
hygenic knowledge in the country dis-
Iricts*
“In ordes to unify the national and
state activities making for the public
health,” he declared, “the establish
ment of a national department of
health is almost a necessity. Do not
be deterred by the cry which goes
up of a ‘doctors’ trust’. The wise phy
siclans are in favor of such a depart
ment not because it is a ‘Physicians
trust,’ but because it is for the good
of the people.
“The selfish physician will be glad
to see the/present condition of affairs
continue because it tends to produce
disease and thus throws into his hands
an increased practice.
The altruistic physician believes in
prophvlaxlc rather than in therapeu
tics. He is willing to sacrifice his own
income In his devotion to the public
service. “Congress should take early
steps towards securing in the councils
of the nation an adviser to the presi
dent charged with the protection of
the health of the people an4 the pro
per education of the people^ ife matters
relating to their well being, both moral
and physical. What Is needed Is to
bring together all the activities of the
national government into one depart
ment having the prestige and power
of presidential advisement.”
Vigorously did Dr. Wiley attack as
“thief and a corrupter^of public mor
als” the manufacturer who sells
adulterated foods and drugs. The hu
man animal, he declares, is entitled to
a pure and wholesome diet. The dyug
store and the grocery store’* he said,
“should be distinct concerns and not
sell each other’s wares. The man who
converts peanut shells into pepper on
the ground that the poor man is not
able to b^iy pure pepper is a tmef
and a oortupter of public morals. The
rich man possibly may be able to af
ford peanut shells but the poor man
never The man who dilutes the milk
waters the stock of the wealthiest
company in the world. ....
“Especially Is this principle true
he declared, “as regards children and
no penalty is too severe for the naan
who deliberately puts, a poisonous dye
Into candy to sell the stick for a pen
ny and puts two thirds of the penny
into his own pocket. Or, when child
ren of. a larger growth are able to
frequent the ubl^ltous soda ^nntain
why should they be Permitted to
freely purchase injurious alkaloids or
fraudulent substitutes for sugar used
as a sweetening agent?
“Again, by what principle of politi
cal economy can the practice ^ justi
fied of keeping wholesome food in
storage until its taste has vantehed
and poisonous degredatlon products
have been produised?
“Advocating prohibition of marriage
of persons afflicted with Incurable dis
eases or imbecile or otherwise grev-
lously beset he declared the power of
the state to protect Its cKlzens from
^sease may be constitutionally exer
cised before as well as after „bM.
Manufacturing In large cities he
condemned,” saying, “cities should be
reserved for exchange and
