A BRIGHT MUsIcAL CoNIEDY-

Miss Beatrice Bronte, as the girl in
the musical comedy, "A Girl From Dixie. .
which was presented last night at the Ia
coma theater, is about the prettiest actress
seen here this season. She is not only
pretty, but can sing. She takes the part
of the Southern girl admirably.
The play hinges on a bright, snappy
story of Southern life and there is not a
dull minute from the time the curtain
rises on the first act until it is rung down
at the close of the last one. two and a
half hours later. One fascinating musical
number follows another in quick succession.
the scenes change rapidly, and a delightful
company of superbly dressed young ladies
romp and dance about the stage. much
to the delight of the audience.
"A Girl From Dixie" is bright. clean
musical comedy that will be hard to equal.
The closing performance will be given to-
night.

usefulness as scavengers. Their influence
is so marked that if for any reason they
are less numerous than usual that summer

One who has been pestered by their pres

their existence, but it is nevertheless true
that flies save doctor bills, and where flies
gather in greatest numbers they are most
needed
Their habits and the means of protection
against them are too well understood to
need further treatment except that we
might mention the following: A mixture
