News & Observer Jan 13: No play teaching a more powerful les son has been seen in Raleigh than "A Message From Mars," which yesterday afternoon and last night delighted two audiences in Raleigh. The play is a splendid one in itself out side of the lesson it teaches, and was presented by a very capable company, which won praise. The evolution of the lesson tonight is by uniquemethods, and these kept the audience constantly in deep imterest. " "A Message From Mars" came in a dream tq a most selfish man and the Martian vcitor whom he saw taught him that selfishness is the greatest of crimes and that "Otherdom" or caring for oth er people is the greatest good. This was the teaching in the play and throughout there ran a pretty love story. The Mar tian won, the selfish man became a big hearted noble one, and his sweetheart ssw happiness. As a play the performance is one that is greatly enjoyable. As a sermon a gainst selfishness no more powerful one has ever been preached in any pulpit in Raleigh. It is a play that can not offend in the slghtest degree, and it is so clever ly presented that it will delight any au dience, and send the people away with better impulses for having seen it, and for haviug heard set forth the very highest ideals of human living.

But In the morning you awake with a heavy cold. "Marble table tops In the winter shoulit be covered with a, cloth If they are going to. be leaned on. Then the tattle top cold would disappear."
