SHORT STAGE STORIES

The musical features with "Uncle
Josh Spruceby" this year include a
band and an orchestra of II solo mu-
clans. The orchestratra between
the acts discourses a pleasing pro-
gram and is one of the many at
tractive features with the show.
For the first time this company
appears at popular prices, 10, 20
pears at Harper's theatre Sunday
night.
Neil Burgess and 1.-The County
Fair" which will be seen at the Bur-
tbs Sunday. opened its present season
at the Park theatre. Boston, early in
Septem Der, and although it had been
presented over 500 times in the same
theatre, on the opening night of its
recent engagement it was greeted by
the largest audience that ever gath
cred inside of the theatre. Not only
was the standing room crowded al
most to suffocation and every seat and
box occupied, but over two thousand
people were turned away from the
entrance unable to obtain admission.
Every available seat had been sold be-
fore 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the
day of the opening performance, and
by z o'clock that night enough ad-
mission tickets to crowd every inch
of standing room had been disposed
of. But still they came, and long be-
fore the doors had been opened the
lines extended out into the street,
blocking the sidewalk and making
passage impossible. 1t was neces-
sary to send to the station house to
get assistance to handle the enor
nous crowds that vainly tried to get
tickets after the announcement had
been made mo more tickets sold"

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subj ect
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living,
about vegetarianism 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 the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended fer human
stomachs, and almost make US be-
lieve that our sturdy ancestors who
lived four score years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must
have been grossly ignorant of the
laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
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 undoubt-
eddy the best.
As compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DIR. julius Remmson on this sub
iect saws: NERVOUS persons, people
run down in health and of low vital
ity should eat meat and plenty of it.
If the digestion is too feeble at first
it may be easily corrected by the regu-
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. Two of these excel
lent tablets taken after dinner will
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 will
be experienced if a regular practice is
made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply the pep
sin and diastase necessary to perfect
digestion. and every form of indiges-
ton will be overcome by their use.
THAT large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
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. COM
posed of the natural digestive princi-
pies, pepsin. diastase, fruit acids and
salts, which actually perform the
work of digestion. Cheap cathartic
medicines, masquerading under the
name of dyspepsia cures, are useless
for indigestion, as they have no effect
upon the actual digestion of food.
dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
STA is to make daily use at meal OF a
preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which is Endorsed by the
medical profession and known to con-
tain active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at so cents for full treat
ment.

DELAWARE CONTEST
Will Come up Today. And The
Message of Chief Burlington
Will Not be Read Until
After The Contest ls
Decided.

The National Council convened
at Tahlequah today in what prom
ises TO be one of the most import
ant sessions in the legislative his
tory of the Cherokee nation.
The message of Chief Burlington
will not be read before Wednesday,
az the Delaware district election
contest is expected to consume the
first two days Of the session.
What the result of the contest
will be is somewhat in doubt, ow-
ing to the uncertainty az TO the po-
sition OF several councillors, who
are claimed by both the Downing
and National leaders. 1t is cer-
tain, however, lhatehe justice Of
the contest will have but little
weight, and that the winning dele
CATION will be seated on strictly
party vote.
The message OF the executive is
expected TO refer to several most
vital questions, and will deal at
length with several of the issues
now confronting the nation.
The paramount issue, the franz
ing OF new treaty, will, it is ex-
pected, be referred to by the exec.
utive in his communication and
the drawing of an instrument &C.
ceptable both TO congress and the
Cherokee nation recommended.
Reference is also anticipated to
the suffering amongst the full
bloods in the hills, and it is
thought that the councill will be
requested to adopt some measure
for their relief, either through the
creation Of an INDECENT fund or by
a general per capita payment.
No recommendation for an APP
preparation for the proposed terri
torial exhibit at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is expected
as the majority OF the council mem
5ers have expressed their opposi-
tion to any appropriation for that
purpose.
That Col. John S. Carpenters
contract as national attorney will
no. be approved without bitter
fight, is acknowledged by the Down
ing leaders, who are responsible
for it. Several Of these leaders
are already figuring how TO win
something by dumping the Kansau
on The wrong side of a compromise.
Msny strenuous scenes are ex.
pected to be enacted during the
present session, owing to the
strength developed by the Ma
tional's al the last election, which
gives them powerful organization
capable OF blocking legislation in
definitely. 1t is thought that
many sensational compromises
win as q consequence result.
