The Cavalier" Wallace Mlnroe's
dramatization Il George w. Gables
popular novel by that name was pre-
seated at the Elks theater last night
to an appreciative audience. Miss
Charlotte Tittell has the leading role
in charlotte Durand or Charlotte
Oliver as the character is more IA
miliarly known and admirably fills the
part. Aside from Miss Tittelfs per-
formance the company lacks merit,
and in some parts is wish rdluteao
Robt " Percy, as Gen Austin, has
set way of talking which is not cnly
very annoying. but makes it extreme
" hard to understand him. Others of
the minor parts are badly played. The
play is very we'll staged and with
good supporting company Miss Tittell
would give a first-elass performance.
1t is a military play without the war
scenes and serves as vehicle to
show the loyalty of the men and wo-
men of the setlth to the cause they
loved.
J-Geph Jefferson, Jr., and William
w. Jefferson. sons of Poseph Jefferson,
will present Richard Brinsley Sheri-

part he played for a long time during
the illness of his father. In a card to
the public. Mr.. Joseph Jefferson said,
in speaking of his sens: They have
been acting practically all their lives

A splendid melodrama, Man to

the Elks' theater next Friday night.
This play is new in it's third season
and last ye~r played the largest cities
only, scoring an immediate success,
on account of the intensely interest
ing story and the exceptionally high
class manner in which it was staged,
as regards costumes and scenery and
the exceedingly strong company OF
players that gave the performance The
story is on new and novel lines, inten-
sely interesting from start to finish
and while thrilling enough to be melc-
dramatic, it still has double comedy
vein running through it ard hence it
really should be called "melo-comedy

be offered here in most elaborate
manner and is sure of success.

USEFUL JAVELLE WATER.

Every laundress should use javelle
water. A small teacup Of the fluid
added to a boiler OF water will assist
materially in Keeping the clothes white
and will not injure them in the least.
The most obstinate stains Of fruit, tea,
coffee, ETC., on the taDlecloths and nap
kins will usually succumb to an APP
plicatiOn of one part of iayelle water
diluted with four parts Of soft water.
II the stained article is soaked in this
fluid for several hours and then thor
oughly washed and rnsed it will usu-
ally come out perfectly clean and
white. Only white goods can be trent
cd in this way, however, as jayelle
water is likely to fade colors.
1t is made as follows: Place four
pounds Of bicarbonate Of soda in a
large granite or porcelain lined pan,
and pour over 1t four quarts Of hot
water. Stir with a stick until the soda
has dissolved, add a pound Of chloride
Of lime, and stir Sntil this also has
dissolved. ALLOW the liquid to cool in
the pan, strain the clear portion
through thin cloth into wide mouthed
bottles or jugs and cork tightly for use.
The part that contains the sediment
may also be bottled and used for scrub
bling sinks, tables and anything to
which grease is liable to adhere.
As an aid to the housewife IL doing
washing quickly and easily this 6uid
is unsurpassed, The quantity which

may be lessened by dividing by two or

POULTRY NOTES.

Stale bread soaked in milk and
squeezed dry is a good feed for young
ducks.
Only medium sized eggs should be
set Extra large or small ones are apt
to produce deformed chicks.
Turkeys are not so sure to come
home as other fowls; hence it is Il
good plan to mark them in some way.
Destroy the old nests as soon as the
hens come off with the chicks. The
safest and best plan is TO burn all Of
the old material ..t..
Healthy fowls pick up their food
quickly and relish it. When they go at
it lazily, pick up grain or two and
then stop, something Is wrong.
Stimulants must be avoided. Fore
ing for heavy egg production will not
benefit fertility, By feeding peppers
and other condiments, or highly sea-
soned condition powders, we can in
crease egg production, but we cripple
our chances in getting good, strong
offspring. In this craze for big egg
records, we fear, the matter has been

If the fowls on the farm had the at

the cows the farmer would soon learn
