Down East"
In refreshing contrast to Clyde
Fitch's study in dramatic abnormali-
ties is George AIDES types of vigor-
Gus Western life in "The College
Widow" His football youths may be
more noisy and vehement than con-
ventionally elegant, but their blood is
red, and through the play there runs
the swift, strong current of American
life, free from the aping of foreign
manners or morals. That it has the
faults of American life, as well, is
merely an argument that Mr.. AIDES
work rings true. OF plot the drama
has but little-Mr. AIDES dramatic
weakness is plot construction. His
strength is characterization. In draw
ing his people from realistic world
and putting into their mouths
speeches fitting to the character, orig
inal and mirth inspiring, Mr. AIDE is
some degrees in advance of most play
writer's.
Every college man, whether from
the West, which the author portrays,
or from the more famous schools of
the East, will recognize the types of
the college Widow" as faithful pic
lures, the incidents as plausible, and,
above all, the atmosphere of student
life reflected in mirror which is
neither cracked nor broken.
The football scene is the undeniable
element of strength to which the play
owes it's successful rushes at the box
Office That it has been carefully con-
sidered in every phase of realism is
fully attested by the megaphonic
shouting of the galleries and the no
less excited commissions among the
plush seats of the parquet. And al
though stage necessities make the
scene, in way, an impossible one, it
is handled so deftly from the dra-
matte point of view that the audience
is swept away in the uproar, which,
by skillful manipulation, becomes a
part of the realism itself.
Mr.. Savage has again shown his di-
plomacy as a manager by providing
a cast of youth and freshness, thus
adding to the delusions the piece
creates. With commendable freedom
he has drafted his forces from fields
of his own choice and trained them in
his own fashion. If for no other rea
son we should lift our hats to him
The result shows that his choice has
been excellent, for throughout the
performance there is the rush and vim
which go with new blood. No partic
ular member of the company is great
in acting; there are no stars claiming
individual lustre at the expense Of
others, because there is well-bal
anced and proportional ensemble. In
deed, it would be difficult to point tt
a character, from the Widow" her
self to the least important of the
railing college boys, who does not fl
into the picture Mr.. AIDE is to bt
congratulated on having given us two
such thoroughly American plays al

The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full Of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
It 10 quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because q great many women have
been cured by Lydia f. Pinkham's

had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.

Hearing how Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations I decided to try it, and in
less than four months I was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley Of 275 ID
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mn. Pinkham:-
"Loss OF strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that l had ovarian trou.
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as q last resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and I am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and I can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily ON the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham ut Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement OF
the womb, leucorrhpa, Irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink
hams Office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia e.

CHRISTIAN AND JEW MATING
Interesting Statistics Of Marriage in
Europe and the United
States.

Let us now look at the facts as they
have developed within the last two or
three decades in Central and Western
Europe, says Isador Singer, in New
York Sun. In Austria there were from
1896 to 1900 yearly 1923 marriages be-
tween Jews, and 130 mixed wedlocks
In Hungary during the same period
1854 Jewish and 44S mixed marriages
took place. The capitals of both corm-
tries are the storm centers. Thus in
Buda-Pesth every fifteenth Jew mar
ries Christian woman, while already
every fourteenth Jewess is welded to
Christian.
In Germany in 1903 there were 1881
marriages between Jews, 497 between
Jews and Protestants and 1873 between
Jews and Roman Catholics. In Prus-
sia proper-here with Berlin as the
natural center of gravitation-there
took place from 1898 to 1902 yearly GOT
marriages between Jews and 212 mixed
marriages; 1. e., every sixth Jew and
Jewess married out of the faith and
race. In Australia, England, Italy
France. Sweden and Denmark mixed
marriages are of everyday occurrence.
In Copenhagen in the years 1SS0-91
they formed 35 per cent, In 1S92-1903
1876 per cent. of the Jewish marriages.
Although the 5,1S9,OOO (1S9O Jews
In Russia, the S11,371 $4,000 Jews in
Austrian Galicia and their brethren
in Roumania, Bukovina and the orient
still represent the firm bulwarks of
old-time Judaism, the colonists going
forth from them to Great Britain and
her colonies and, above all, to the
United States, are already close to the
danger line, as the Pastor-Stokes mar
riage demonstrates.

The Countersign.

"In our army at the wesg" said a
captain of the Third Missouri infantry
in the civil war, "the word Potomac
was given as the password for the
night. A German detailed for guard
duty understood it to be 'Bottomic,
and thus transferred to another Ger.
man guard as Buttermilk.' Soon after
ward the officer who had given the
word wished to return through the
lines and, approaching the sentinel,
was ordered to halt, and the password
was demanded. The officer gave 'Po-
tomac.'"
