To be liealthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sou ml advice, because ill the
strength of middle life we toooften forget
thtt neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine sttreiiKth ami bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be Rtronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

The New York World says:
"The wrongs that Germany has
committed against the United
States are all matters of record.
The refusal of the German Gov
ernment to make adequate repara
tion for those wrongs or to live
up to its engagements is also a
matter of record.
In the circumstances, should not
the United States recall Mr. Ger
ard and give Count von BernstortT
his passports? Does not the hon
or uf the United States demand
that we refuse longer to continue
diplomatic relations with a Gov
ernment which respects neither its
pledges nor its agreements?

Society's Call for NhGKO

tills us that in New Yotk city there
is a cry fur the negro who can sing

"He is in demand at the txclu

ferred at the dance. It is.idniitt!. J

This being so, we h ue one or

amused as well as startled. They
have not only provided a w hole
troupe of the best clow ns 10 be
found, but other comedy featutes
as well. There is old Hi I loose,
the "original tanner from Houp
pole Township," who keeps the
audience laughing at the cor.inni.il
mishaps that befall him. Joe Pent
land, Rube and 'Rastus, with their
comedy mules, are there, and the
comical Barnells, with their funny
trick house acrobatics, and numer
ous comedy teal tires, so there is a
laugh every minute. Thrills and
laughter chase each other through
out the whole performance. Don't

To Restore the Grove

the proposed plans of the John

after it is restored and the tomb of

will be remembered that Vulhe
Jones met the youthful Scotch
sailor, John Paul, in Virginia, and

BIG DRAMATIC SUCCESS.

It is only a lew ) eats ago w hen

managers to keep their big dt am i
lie successes in New Y irk, (':.;, i
go and the other l.nge cities '
several se.ison 1 etore senJmg
lliein "on ihe road" to the sm.ilii ;
towns, when they were presented
b companies of interior merit.
Very often they had become hy
this delay stale to the theatregoers
(I ihe smaller towns before ihe
pla s reached them Today all
this is changed. In order lo
reap the reward of success, the
successful plays imiM be presented
while llie interest is still strong and
keen in the larger cities. The out
side public is better informed of
theatric il Itjppeitinss in New K-rk
and other large centres, and wants
the play while it is still in ihe heighi
of its success. While it is naturally
impossible to send out the original
Company, the other companies
must be of a high standard of ex
cellence' to compel the interest of
tlie smaller tow ns. No manager
in the business today has been
keener to respond to he demands
of this public than I I.H Fraee, the
fortunate producer ot "A Pair of
Sixes," the biggest farce hit of the
country, which will be seen at

New Skirts to P.e Km f
llli-ll. -Madam, the l-'all fashions
have arrived. In a very short
time you will be garbed in a co..t
with a huge coat collar thai ., ii;
hide your face up as far as your
nose, and you will w ear short, vol
uminous skirts reaching but a very j
few inches below your knees;
you've got to show the tops of
your boots this season and they're
making the boots very high. If
you want to be really cmnine il
lait, you've got to purchase a rain
bow pigeon and carry it on your
wrist. Tins w ill entail net tins' rid
of the taiiuly cat because ii is w ell
known that pigeons don't associate
wnli felines for any length ot tune
It will also mean that, since it j
would be rather awkward to ask j
tne pigeon to move every time you
wanted to consult your wrist watch,
you will have to dispense with this
ornament. Instead you will wear
a watch strap about your ankle.
It's rather a perilous procedure
consulting an ankle watch while
walking the avenue, so the kind
Parisian dressmakers are sending
over some divided skirts. They're
something like the directoire, only
more so. The slit is about three
inches wide and starts at the hip.
Pantalettes are worn under them
and the trouserettes have little fur
cufts at the knee which is the
south ferry terminal. This makes
it a bit easier lo gei the ankle in
the strategic position necessary
to consult the watch, but it is pro
bable that a majority of the women
will have to catch hold of a police
man or a post to see what lime it
is.
