COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.


Much interest viii attach to the ap-
pearance Of Miss Blanche Walsh at
the Crawford tonight and tomorrow by
reason Of the fact that she win assay
role new to her this season. that Of
Josephine in the imposing play-spec-
tacle, More than Queen" There have
been numerous stage Josephines, but
memory does not recall one who by ma
lures gifts was better endowed to en-
act the part than Miss Walsh. Rela-
i've to her dramatic ability there can
be no cavil- It is promised that Miss

one of peculiar interest. as the sad life
or The beautiful and brilliant Creole girl
ana woman fairly throbs with human
interest The French author of this
play, More than Queen" Emile Ber-
gerat, has endeavored to show that
Josephine was more than queen" a
woman he goes further, and depicts
the human side of the nature of that
great character. Napoleon; and. indeed.
the action of the story is mostly behind
the scenes of the court and shows the
emotion, the storm and stress, the
pathos and tragedy of the life Of which
only the smooth and glittering side is
seen by the outside world. This romance
OF real life, the historical value and real
interest of which never depreciates, IS
told in a prologue and five acts. The
meeting of the young people in the gar
den OF the Palais Royal where they
fall in love- their marriage their coro-
ration, and their sad parting because
Josephine has not borne an heir to the
throne, these episodes form the theme

the interior Of the church of Notre
Dame 1t is here that Napoleon in a
rage seizes the imperial diadem and
crowns the happy Josephine, in defiance
of church, state and society. Not a word
is spoken The properties, costumes,
jewels, scenic coIoT-ing and courtiers
make this scene a gorgeous spectacle
The strong scene of the play is in the
fifth act It is here that Josephine is
touched by Bonaparte's display Of emo
ton because the duties Of state compel
their parting, and she heroically signs
the paper which gives him divorce and
loses her the throne. What is the su-
perb attractiveness of the I.lay is the
fact that it shows the 7istinctively hui
man side of these two famous historic
characters, Napoleon and the woman
behind the throne, who rules through the
heart of her sovereign.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts On the Same sub
iect-

We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about veg
etarianism and many other fads along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat. pastry or cOffee is
served and the food crank is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad-
Tanced to prove that meat was never
intended for human stomachs. and al
most make US believe that our sturdy
ancestors who lived four score years in
robust health on roast beef. pork and
mutton must have been grossly ignor-
ant OF the laws Of health.
Our fOrefathers had other things to
do imam formulate theories about the
food they ate "A warm welcome was
extended 90 any kind from bacon to
aCOrus.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in matters
OF diet, and a mixed diet of grains
fruits and meats IS undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
Dles. meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form aud is
oigested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remrnson on this subject
says. Nervous persons people run down
in health and Of low vitality should eat
meat and plenty of it. If the digestion
is too feeble at first it may be easily
corrected by the regular use Of Stuartfs
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
of these excellent tablets taken after
dinner win digest several thousand
grains Of meat. eggs or other animal
food IN three hours, and no matter how
weak the stomach may be, no trouble
win be experienced II a regular practice
is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets because they supply the pepsin
and diastase necessary to perfect diges-
ton. and every form Of Indigestion win
be overcome by their use
That large class Of people who come
nnder the head Of nervous dyspeptfcs
should eat plenty OF meat and insure its
proper digestion BY the daily use OF a
safe. harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed Of
the natural digestive principles. pepsin
diastase. fruit acids, and salts. which
actually perform the Wo-k OF digestion
Cheap cathartic medicines. mas0uerad-
ing under the name OF dyspepsia cures
are useless for Indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual
digestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure OF the stomach to digest !
food and the sensible way TO solve the /
riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make I
daily use at meal time or a preparation I
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which 1
is endorsed by hhe medical profession 4

principles.
