Special Cable Despatch 20 THE SUN.
LONDON, Sept 2o.-The War ONCE has
had to seek the aid even of George Alexander
BEDFORD. examiner Of plays in its present
pitiful plight. 1t seems that In May last
Mr.. BEDFORD refused to license play which
1t was proposed to produce in the provinces
and which included a military Raging
scene.
At first he gave no reason for his refusal
but after some correspondence said:
No realistic representation on the stage
of 10 called military Raging will be per-
mitted under the Lord Chamberlain 8
license"
In another letter he remarked:
1T is really not suitable subject for
treatment on the stage, especially just now,
when the authorities are doing everything
in their power to suppress 'ragging.'
1t was suggested to the author OF the
play that he should eliminate all references
to the unfortunate revelations of the recent
scandal, but even after the play had been
revised license was still refused.
The author now contemplates publishing
the play as a book. Henry Labouchere,

Drury Lane should he treated differently

that there is a Raging scene in Rawley'a

Before the production Of the play there
was lively anticipate ion Of the Raging scene
but the first nighters were disappointed
The word Raging was not mentioned,
The scene consisted Of a little mild hay
making, which was almost confined to
throwing about few cushions, upeetting
a chair or two, DC.
The fact Is, strong realistic Raging
scene was written and rehearsed, but the
Lord Chamberlain, who himself witnessed
the rehearsal Immediately decided that
any reference to Raging incidents must
be eliminated
After three vain attempts to satisfy the
Lord Chamberlain. and at the same time
to retain something like Raging scene
the management gave up the struggle.

may be utilized for light services, such

Blood Needs Nerve and
Nerve is Life.

The nerve fluid or current is the
force that builds the different parts
and organs of the body, and carries
throughout the organism, orders the
various nerve centers for the distribu-
ton of the building material in the
blood.
The veins are naturally provided
with a muscular coat and also with
delicate valves. which regulate the
flow of blood according to natural de-
mands.
In varicocele the proper anatomical
construction of the veins is interfered
with and they become enlarged. or
dilated; local stagnation of blood fol-
lows and the vital nerves themselves
being closely interviewer with the
mass of varicose veins, must undergo
slow death, together with important
tissues and organs.
Naricocele denies the most vital or
gans the nerve food that supplies
man with the very elements and es-
sence of life. No one should permit
varicocele to exist under the impress
sion that it will be improved by any
thing short of an absolute cure by my
