1.-The Simple Life
Proper Food is Really the First
Step in Right Living.

One OF the evils OF our complex mod
ern way Of living, is our unnatural and
unhealthy foods.
To have really good health and
good stomach it is necessary TO eat
simple nourishing food. EGG-o-sEE
is the ideal food. and reaches the
proper requirements in this direction
more nearly than any other cereal now
on the market.
To make EGG-O-SEE the kernels of
the choicest California white wheat
are first cleansed by brushes then thor
oughIy steam cooked, then faxed and
crisped to maple tint and delicately
favored with natural fruit juice and
pure grain sugar.
In these delicious fakes, lies the
mighty strengthening power of tho
whole wheat grain that evenly nour-
isles every part OF the body, and gives
physical and mental energy that means
splendid health and successful en-
deavor.

TARKINGToN's PLAY.
"GentIeman From Indiana Presented
for First Time Last Week.

The play that Booth Harrington has
made from his own novel, 1.-THE Cen
tleman from Indiana" was acted in In
dianapolis last week It was the theat-
rical event of generation. It was al
most as though your own brother had
written play and asked all the neigh
bors to see it acted, says the Indianap-
oils News Every one in Indiana calls
Harrington "Rooth,'' and as much of
the state as could be crammed into the
theater went to see Booths play. In
their enthusiasm for the author the
specta tors almost forgot the piece and
the actors. This is the way in which
they received Harrington:
The moment came at the end of the
third act From the lower floor and the
boxes came the cries of Speech! Mr..
lery nothing was heard but yellS of
.Boothl Booth!' which testified to the
popularity of the author and to the
spirit of .hail-fellOW-W -Well-met' with
his home town. At first he could not be
found, and Mr.. Morgan had to come on
and say that Mr.. Harrington was hid
ing in one of the dressing rooms He
promised though that Mr.. Harrington
should be found in a moment, and soon,
sure enough. while the applause con-
tinued, Mr.. Presbrey, the producer of
the play. came on, leading Mr.. Tarking-
ton by the hand.
Nervousness was hardly the word
for Mr.. Tarkington's condition, but ne
made one of the best curtain speeches
that have ever been made by an author
on his first night, when he stammerad
out simply the word Thanks Then he
got off the stage quickly as may be.
But they called him back The ap-
plause was insistent, prolonged, loud.
And in response to it Mr.. Harrington
came in front of the curtain and said:
I meant thanks for the company as
well as myself. II you didn't like it no
one would I guess that's about ALL
1t wasn't Some one in the audience
promptly yelled: Dear old Tarkp and
the rest took up the cry.
No wonder that under such circum-
stances none of the reviews give a very
clear idea of the piece itself The first
act is explanatory, picturing the III
diana village where it passes, and set
ting forth the relations Of the charac-
ters. A few bold souls dared to call it

setting Of the tragic love story first told
by the Italian writer, Verga, enough
interest to fill acts of an ordinary opera.
In this work the west will have an op-
portunity for the first time of hearing
the wonderful Italian dramatic soprano,
Nine. De AIacchi.
The second opera will be the equally
famous short opera of Ieoncavallo,
which rivals it in charm, power and
pathOs. Both works will give marvel
Gus expression to the violence and emo
ton of Italy. Nothing the world famous
tenor Caruso achieves is more sensa-
tional or beautiful than his singing of
the last song in the first act of
''Pagliacci''
The performance will be given under
the personal direction of Mr.. Heinrich
Conried and by his entire company
which comes direct from the Metropol-
itan opera. house in New York City. Mr.
Conried pledges ideal grand opera to
Kansas City and the southwest The
operas will be presented in Convention
hall in such manner as never before
known in the big auditorium. All the
MASSIVE stage settings and revolving
scenery that was used in New York will
be used in Kansas City. The artists to
be heard in Kansas City will be identi-
cal with those who have distinguished
the New York performances Spec-
ial reduced rates have been made on
all railroads within a radius of $50 miles
of Kansas City. At this time only sea-
son tickets are available, but on and af-
ter March II, seats for single perform
ances will be offered for sale Even
thus early orders for season tickets only
have amounted to ten thousand dollars
The great southwest has promptly
recognized this extraordinary opportun-
ity, as large opera parties are being
organized in most of the principal
places in Kansas, Missouri, and in ad-
dition. Nebraska. Iowa, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory will be well rep
resented.
