Despite the storm there was good sized

which John c. Fox and John Fl. Conroy
form the acquaintance of our amusement
seekers. Manager Malley makes no C a ms
for the play AS play, but he does pretend
and justifiably so to introduce company
of clever speciality artists headed by two of
the most popular in the business. Messrs.
Conroy aud Fox are nice singers and
dancers and they have fund of light talk
which keeps the audience in good spirits.
Besides the songs, dances etc. furnished
by the stars other members of the COM
pany contribute interesting specialties.
Among them Messrs. Hayes and Post take
the lead in dancing of an acrobatic style
during which some fine tumbling is done.
Hayes is kicker of unusual expertness
some of his feats being new and sensa-
tional Katie Allen was another in the
cast who proved particularly entertaining
in songs and dances and Maymie Taylor
sang pleasingly.
The comedy is served up in three acts
and grows in interest up to the finale.

FRUIT AS A MEDICINE.
It's Use IL Always Advantageous In Certain
Forms of Disease.

Forms of Disease.
As medicine l look upon fruit as a
most valuable ally. When the body is in
that breaking up condition known as
scurvy, the whole medical profession look
upon fruit and fresh vegetables as the one

day will come when science will use it
very much more largely than it does now
in the treatment of many Of the everyday
ailments. Impure blood means gout,
rheumatism, skin diseases, ricketts, and
other troubles As it is proved that fruit
will purify and improve the quality of the
blood it must follow that fruit is both
food and medicine combined. In fevers l
use grapes and Strawberries, giving them
to my patients in small hut frequent doses;
oranges and baked apples if the Others are
not obtainable For rheumatism plenty
of lemons are invaluable. White girls
with miserable, pallid complexions want "a

properties to the other more delicate fruits
To my mind the pear is more easily di
