COULDN'T FOOL HIM
Doctor Was Firm and Was Right.

Many doctors forbid their patients to drink coffee but the patients still drink it on the sly and thus spoil all the doc tors efforts and keep themselves SICK. Sometimes the doctor makes sure that inc patient is not drinking coffee and there was case of that kind in St. Paul where business man said:
 .sAfter a very severe illness last wifl- fer. which almost caused my death, the doctor said Postum Food Coffee was the only thing that I could drink, and he just made me quit coffee and drink Postum. My illness was caused by in digestion frcm the use of tea and coffee.
 .eThe state of my stomach was so bad that it became terribly unframed and finally resulted in a rupture. had not drank Postum very long before my lost blood was restored and my stomach was well and strong. and have now been using Postum for almost a year When I got up from, bed after my ill., ness I weighed 9S pounds and now my weight is 120.
 .'There is no doubt that Postum was the reason for this wonderful improve ment, and shall never go back to tea or coffee, but shall always stick to the food drink that brought me back te health and strength" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

PoIt's Theater.

The hit of the Poli bill this week is the Willis family of musicians. They are European artists of more than or dinary merit. Four of them are includ- ed in the family of talented people. The music they furnish, whether in solo or ensemble, is of the best, and each one is expert with different instruments. Solos on piccolos, cello. violin and harp are given, and a banjo chorus of Scot tish melodies is very fine. Piano, cyrn- bals and snare drum are introduced in the ensemble, and the performance is most entertaining throughout.
 O'Brien and Havel have their com- edy sketch, Tricks and Clicks" which is an office playlet, and the typewriter girl and office boy have plenty of op- portunity to have some fun, all of which the audience hugely enjoyed last night. O'Brien is a clever tumbler and makes an ideal office boy. He had the house in roars.
 Wilton brothers do a daring horizon tai bar act with some good comedy thrown in.
 The Allisons have their sketch Min ma from Minnesota" which is better than ever and has the servant girl and Allison's new song, "The Smile That Wont Come Off, It's worth hearing. Cherry and Bates, New Haven boys, have slick trick bicycle act; Shannon
 and Brown have a good German corn~ edian act; Mcintyre and Rice are good in ''Brannigan and the Leading Lady; and Max Ritter with good stories and some good jokes and the electrograph with some new views in the motion pie ture line complete tEe bill.
 On Thanksgiving day there will be g continuous show, with extra acts, from 12:30 to il p. m.
 Prices: Evenings, 10, 20 and 30 cents afternoons, 10 and 20 cents; ladies al matinees, 10 cents; box seats, 50 cents.

BASKET BALL LEAGUE
MERIDEN WON IN 4 RECORD
 THROWING CONTEST.
Game Was Fast and CIean-yIsitOrs showed Their superiority fin the First Haif-7s Goals Scored During Contest, Being the Record for Season.

Being the Record for Season.
 The large crowd which attended the basketball game last night was amply repaid by seeing one of the finest, one of the cleanest and one of the smartest games that has been played this sea- son. Two new men occupied places on the New Haven team, Keever at left forward. and Gunther at right guard. Being their first appearance with the team. they rather weakened than strengthened the New Havens' play. This was to be expected, as only play ing together can make perfection in passing from one to the other.
 The league leaders had their star team, every one of whom played like cIockwork from start to finish and won the pIaudits of the crowd from time to time by their splendid passing and magnificent basket throwing. During the first period the New Haven team were played to standstill by the ex- cellent team work of the Meriden play CTS, who scored 21 goals to the locals 2. In the second period New Haven took brace and more than surprised the vis- itors by the manner in which they play. ed and secured goals. The crowd be- gan to wax enthusiastic at this stage or the game and urged the Blues on 10 victory, and for a time it seemed that they were going to get the upper hand and win out. But the leaders once more rose to the occasion and scored several clever goals, which put the game beyond doubt . Had the New Ravens played as well in the first period as they did in the second the result might have had a diff ferent tale. The score in the first half was: Meriden 21, New Haven '; in the second half, New Haven 25, Meriden 70. The next game will be with the crack wallingford team on Thursday even ing. when splendid game should be the outcome.
 The iine-up and the summary were as follows: * MERIDEN. NEW HAVEN.

Grand s,pera EEause.

Of all the mirth-provoking farces which have been offered to the amuse- ment loving public of the country Shooting the Chutes" certainly carries off the palm. It was last night pre- sented at the Grand Opera house, the performance being the first of an en- gagement of three nights and a mati- nee, and a large house attested their delight by vociferous applause, which demanded repetition of the many Inu- sical and burlesque features of the eve- ning's programme.
 There is a regular hurricane of fun from start to finish, and things are doing at such a lively pace that the audience does not have time to recover from one spasm of delight until they are plunged into the depths of another. There is a well connected and not in1- possible plots designed simply for the purpose of instigating fun and 1nerri- 5ment galore, and the success of tn eef-

 At the recent quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the Organized Charities the resignation of Bishop E. S. Lines as vice president of the associa- tion was received apd accented. c. S. Warehouse was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy. -.~
 The following minute was drawn up by President Francis Wayland of the board of directors, and spread upon the records of the association:
 In the resignation of Rev. F. s. Lines, D. D., as vice president of our board, made necessary by his removal from this city to become bishop of the diocese of Newark, N. J., this association and our whole community suffer very ser ious loss. His long term of serivce on our board has made us acquainted with his intelligent and humane comprehen- sion of our many sided work, and it's numerous problems, while his prompt discharge of his duties has been a fine example to his fellows. Especially use- sul has been his presence in our meet ings during the long enforced absence of our president His urbanity, his mental alertness and his sympathy with suffering made him a model presiding officer and highly valued counsellor.
 He takes with him into his new field of labor our warnest wishes for his welfare. and our confident belief that sull success awaits him in his wider field of Christian activity. &

 TO many readers of David Harunl" one of the very best things in the book was the horse trade between David ana the pious Deacon Perkins. There was humor in Westcott,s description of this piece of business that caused hearty laughter, and 1t was enjoyed possibly as much, if not more, than anything else in the book. In the play which was made from the book this horse trade is capitally shown. It comes ear ly in the play--in fact, Harum makes his first appearance before the audi ence as he comes out of his barn after
 driving the "bay hoss," or attempting
 to drive him, rather, on the river road,
 The deacon calls. brings the conversa- tion around to David's new horse, and the shrewd old fellow has the animal brought out of the barn so that the deacon can look him over. The scene is always productive of much laughter and is enjoyed presumably as much by
 David as by the audience, for the old
 fellow has been waiting to catch the
 deacon, who once did him so brown, to use his own words, that he was burned in places and you could smell smoke around him for some time. Another good portion of the book that is capi- tally pictured in the play is the Christ mas dinner in Aunt Polly's sitting room. In this scene Harum stells the l story of his visit to the circus and oi his start in life, and he alternately
 plays upon the disabilities and the sym pathies of the audience in the recital of it. ...
 The play will be presented at the | Grand Opera house November 26, 2' \ and 2S, and that it will have a crowded
 house goes without saying. There will
 be a holiday matinee Thanksgiving day
 and the regular matinee Saturday
