MINDED CHINA
Don't Do We'll With Hot Water.

DOn't Do We'll With Hot Water.
 'We housewives know better than to use hot water on mended china and common sense tells me that coffee or tea should never be used by those who have undergone operations for stomach trouble or appendicitis, etc. In fact if it were not for the stomach troubles set up by coffee I believe these operations would not be necessary in cases out of 10," says a lady of Peoria, III. My husband has been changed from con- firmed dyspeptic to an average healthy eater by the use of Postum in place of coffee find it much richer and clearer by making over, always adding a little more fresh Postum and then proceed as if fresh. My husband never likes it fresh as we'll as the second or third make over. Our physician who recom- mended Postum to us was a confirmed coffee drinker but found that one cup of Postum satisfied him and improved his digestion immediately. Another physician acquaintance had a similar experience. But I started to write you about my husbands condition. He had four operations for stomach trouble I feel certain that had he used Postum in place of tea and coffee for years preceding this the operations would never have been necessary.
 Several weeks ago our Postum ran out and he used coffee for several days. His old trouble asserted itself at once and there was an immediate rush for Postum which drove the trouble away again. Name furnished by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 To bring out the heavy food value in Postum Cereal Coffee it must be cooked not less than 25 minutes altogether. It starts to boil in about 10 minutes then it should be slowly boiled full 15 min- utes after boiling has commenced. Some housewives prefer it steeped for many hours or even made over.

A DECIDED HIT.
Miss Marie Cahill Scored Great Suc-
 cess in Nancy Brown"

Miss Marie Cahill Scored Great suc-
 cess in Nancy Brown"
 Dainty Marie Cahill added new laur- els and won many more admirers to her already long list at the Hyperion last night. She was the stellar attrac- ton in the new musical comedy; Man. cy Brown," which has met with such phenomenal success since it's initial performance and her charming, viva cious manner enraptured the audience One or two repetitions of the several very catchy and bright songs which she gave did nto suffice and she grace fully responded to the vociferous en- cores. In the second act she was par ticularly gracious and invited the audi ence, particularly the Yale students who were out in force, to assist her in the rendition of the. popular Nancy Brown" and Bamboo Tree" The stu dents responded with alacrity and the novelty was intensely enjoyed.
 The production in it's entirety is on stupendous csale, the costumes, stage settings and scenic effects being gor- geous. The music is of the bright catchy order which fingers long in the minds of those who hear it and the words of many songs are decidedly unique. The chorus is splendidly ball. anced, the girls being much above the average both in personal beauty and singing ability.
 An audience which packed the Fly peron to the walls witnessed the per- formance and great success" was the concensus of opinion of Nancy Brown.

ed States. Claims cannot be settled by blockade.
 The Monroe doctrine has served to control the otherwise rapacious tenden- cies of some of the powers. England
 has been too busy with her own affairs to attempt a vigorous policy.
 Attempts have been made to pro- cure President Roosevelt as an arbitra tor, but, though the United States oc-
 cupies the somewhat unequally balanc-
 cd position of one who dictates largely without mourning a corresponding re- sponsibility, the government steadfast- ly refused to appear in the matter. This policy of avoiding responsibility cannot be too closely adhered to by the United States. though it is only too strongly desired by the powers. The question of preference of claims. of the percentage of customs to be al- lowed the various creditors, and the like. arose in confusing order. Mir. Bow en was permitted to act as VenezueIa's s representative in the settlement. This settlement is similar to that of the De
 Castellane trouble, i. e., the apportion-
 ment of a certain percentage of the an- 1 nual income to creditor claims. The , matter of preference of claims and their validity, together with the counter claims. will go to The Hague tribunal. Venezuela does not deny these claims;
 she maintains, however, that they are without security, and therefore denies
 the right of the powers to levy on the customs.
 Although 1t appears unjust, still the power of might rules in these ques-
 tions. much as the facilities of the rich
 enable them to often gain an advantage over a poorer man.
 '"The United States is unquestionably l helping Venezuela, but in so delicate
 and diplomatic a manner as to escape responsibility. As this country plays a large part in the worlds affairs she must adjust herself to the rapidly
 changing conditions.
 'The rumors of war with Germany are totally unfounded. We must learn to make light of such difficulties. The Venezuela trouble teaches the lesson
 that we must be chary in trusting the little South American states"

ENTERTAINMENTS S.
Hyperion Theater.

The attraction at the Hyperion on Saturday, February 14 at the bargain matinee, prices 25c, 50c;sand at night will be William A. Brady's beautiful production of Lottio Blair Parker's TO- nance of the south entitled Under Southern Skies.'' iii This is the play that for three months tested the capacity of the Theater Re- public in New York city and after played successful engagements in al- mots all of the. principal cities of the country.
 Mrs. Parker, who is also the author of the well known rural play, Way Down East" has chosen a new theme for her Under Southern Skies" and has treated it as delicateyl as that of her former success; the characters are true to life, none being over drawn, and the situations are at times as lu- dicrous as at others also melodramatic To those familiar with scenes and in- eidents below the Mason and Dixon line, the breath of magnolias and or ange blossoms which permeate the at mosphere throughout the play, the strong minded Belle, the two peppery colonels with their long standing feud, the rival lovers, the Louisiana cotton pickers and the pickaninnies-the fine old southern home with it's plantation, the Halloween celebration and games, will appear as a dream of long ago.
 Manager Brady has taken advantage of the grand opportunities offered from scenic environment and has been most lavish in mounting the play The in- terpreting company is said to be com petent and includes among its mem bers Edgar Forrest, Van H. Kinzie, Lawrence Wakefield, Harry W. Col lins, J. P. Lester, Alexander Pollock, Edwin B. Loring, Allen Walker, Ethel Gray, Minnie Church, Jessie Arnold, Louise M. Dickson, Rachel Acton, Helen Bell, Terese Agnus, aKte Morris and the Imperial mixed quartette of Louisiana Jubilee singers composed of Luke Pulley, Martha Pulley, Arthur Wilmore and Martha Johnson

 Charles Frohman send his young star, Ethel Barrymore, to the Hyperion next Tuesday evening, for one. night only, in two plays that are as odd as was Captain Jinks,' the comedy in which he presented her the past two seasons. The chief play is a three-act conceit, "A Country Mousse" writted by Arthur Law. It had run at the Prince of Wales theater, London, last winter. The second is a one-act sketch, Carrots" It was a feature last season at the Theater Antoine, Paris. In Carrots" Miss Barrymore does a boy S part. In "A Country Mousse she en- acts the role of an unaffected country maiden, who enters society for the first time and experiences a series of mis- haps-the most serious of which results in her becoming a duchess unexpected ly. Both plays scored 9 run together for three months at the Savoy theater, New York, with Miss Barrymore as the star. The same company that support ed her during the New York run will
