The abuse of that delicate organ,
the eye, is prevalent sin of this
country. The Germans had wise
saying, "Touch not the eye except
with your elbow" That is equiva-
lent to saying don touch your eye
at all Still further caution in ref
erence to the eye is illustrated il
the experience of those negligent
persons who grope through life
straining and running the sight in
stead of consulting upon the first
sign OF weakness, squirting or wat
ering. Another fatal mistake is
made by clrnging too long to tav-
Orite pair Of glasses that may have
once suited the conditions of sight
and opened new view of the world
and things preseun but alas the
days have sped by and age has so
changed the retina as to render the
glasses worse than useless. Prop
erly adjusted GLASSES will most GER
tainly preserve the eye while any
other kind of glasses will be worse
than none at all.
Let as advise those who are the
least interested in this article to
avail themselves Of an opportunity
to consult Dr.. G. Goldstein and
allow him to straighten the matter
out with you in short order. He is
reliable and his skill is fully and |
thoroughly established throughout
the territory in which he has prac- |
ticed. He will be at Hotel Latham. |

Columbia Theater.

Next week at the Columbia Harry Corson
Clarke will present his company in George
H. Broadhurst's latest Anglo-Amercan
success, why Smith Left Home
why Smith Left Home" was one of the
few American ventures to receive unre-
served welcome in London, where it ran at
the Strand Theater for months 1t also
pleased New York audiences at the Madi-
son Square Theater during a long engage
ment.
Smiths troubles are of the everyday sort
which the heads of families are often heir
to. His house swarms with an army of his
wife'S visiting relatives, and his servants
insist upon managing the household accord
ing to their own ideas. This is possible be-
cause they all belong to unions, and work
together in the strength and confidence of
organized labor. The cook, who stands at
the head, is a person of highest importance
in her order, and of corresponding deaf
ness to the voice of reason. But like GER
tain persons in less humble walks of life
Lavinia, the cook, is amenable to another
kind of influence For a settled sum of
money she promises her master to rid
Smiths house of it's visitors by serving
them such unequaled bad cooking that
they shall be forced to leave by sheer hun
ger. The compact between Smith and his
cook Is one of the most amusing phases of
this bright and lively farce.
Mr.. Clarke will play the role of the cook.

Stunning feminine attire. The large cast

New National Theater.

1.-The Messenger Boy will play. an en-
gagement CT one. week, beginning Monday
night, at the New National Theater, and
including two matinees. Wednesday and
Saturday. This piece was presented for
more than four months, and claims the rec
ord at Days Theater in New York of the
largest receipts in the o5lstory of this house.
without making any exception whatever 1t
was first produced two years ago by George
Edwardes at the Gaiety Theater in London.
1t scored success, and its presentation in
America was looked forward to with strong
interest. When the attraction was first
seen in New York city last September it
proved to be one of the hits of the Broad
way season. Nixon Zimmerman have
given the piece most elaborate staging,
and will present II here with the same COM
pany of 100 people, headed by James r.
Powers, that appeared during its New York
run. The other notable principals are: May
Robson, Flora Zabelle, George Honey, Paul
Nicholson, John p. Kennedy, Harry Kelly,
George DeLong, Hattie Waters, Jobyna
Rowland, Sarah McNeel and Rachael
Booth.
The piece is staged In two acts and four
scenes, laid at the Hotel De Luxe on the
Thames embankment, London; steamship
pier at Bridisi, Italy; street in Cairo,
Egypt, and section of the grounds of the
Paris exposition. Beautiful scenic pictures
and magnificent color schemes In the cos
tuning are presented in the ensemble.
The story is a comic sIzit on the fad which
prevailed three or four years ago of engage
ing messenger boys for International trips
In this instance the messenger boy is used
by one of the interests of the piece to thwart
the courtship Of the daughter of an English
governor by young English officer. The
messenger boy Is sent with a dispatch
which is intended to separate the lovers.
Through mistake document which will
ruin the conspirators is inserted in the let
ter. The boy has departed when the dis
covery is made, and efforts are then CENTER
ed In preventing his arrival at his desti-
nation.

proved great hits, especially HAS Anybody
