thing. No production of modern times
has scored, under similar circumstances

From Paris. Its runs even surpassed the
records established by Mr.. Rice's previ-

The most powerful engine must stop II

derful piece of machinery in the world, yet
no matter how strong and well made his
bodily frame may be, if the FIRE of life
within him is not constantly fed his limbs
and muscles become powerless and useless.
The reason men become helpless and
diseased is because the food they eat,
which is the fuel of life, is not properly
digested and appropriated by the stomach

Two Pointed Question. Answered.

What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get d better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
In the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only the bet
ter one.

AT THE TEEATERS.
Lafayette-"The Second Mrs. ranqueray,

Iafayette-s.The Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
Olga Nethefsole and her English COM
pany came TO the Lafayette last night
and began weeks engagement in a. w.
Pinero's psychological problem play, The
Second Mrs Tanqueray." A large audi
ence was present and applauded through
out on the slightest of the many reasons
given for enthusiasm.
THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray was
originally given in this country by Mrs.
Kendall, though it has been said that the
work was originally completed for Miss
Nethersole. 1t is not a powerful piece,
save In its suggestion, and frequently
there is an excess of dialogue and lack
of subject-matter that would be weari-
some from any other than the skilled
hands of the London dramatist Mr.. Pi-
nero. however, has habit of propound-
ing a difficult social question and then
having a confidential chat with his houses
in explaining ii that brings them into
close confidence with him and makes them
take an otherwise improbable interest in
his efforts. And The Second Mrs. Tan
queray' is often powerful play-one
that abounds in bright speeches and
opportunities and If not one of the best
of dramas is at least superior as a We
hicle.
Miss Nethersole portrays the title role
earnestly and convincingly. Her art is
so minutely consummate that often it
cannot be recognized and the spectators
therefore commune with nature in a man
ner they themselves cannot understand.
The English actress has conceived the
role of Mrs. Tanqueray intelligently,
moderately and comprehensively. The re-
suit is thoroughly satisfactory. T. b.
Thalberg does opposftes praiseworthily,
though he will be a better leading man
when he has learned how to walk, and
especially efficient support is given by w.
Graham Brown, Hamilton Revelle. A. s.
Homewood, Fred Thorne and Madge Nc
Intosh. Others in the cast do well ac-
cording to the parts vouchsafed them.
The waits between acts were abon1inably

usual syndicate generally does. The
piece abounds in witty lines and jing ing
lyrics. has a very coherent plot and is
full of the catchiest music imaginab e.
Besides this there is in the offering an
excess of life and spirit that would make
far worse comedy enjoyable, while the
production is more than elaborate and
the cast is exceedingly good. Char les
Bigelow. who heads the company, is one
of the funniest of comedians and eXpee
tations,t to the contrary Notwithstanding
Anna Held is seen to real advantage in
the title role. Nearly all the remainder
of the company have been here before.
Among those I'm the organization are
Edwain J. Heron. Richard Ridgeiey,
Matt Woodward. Hallen Mostyn, Ed
Guard Jose. George Honey, William Arm
strong, Charles f. Sturgis, Eva Daven-
port, Eleanor Kendall. Yolande Wallace,
