Much interest has been displayed this
week in the annual exhibition of the Wash
ington Water Color Club, which opened in
the hemicycle of the Corcoran Gallery on
Monday. The private view and reception
which were given last Saturday afternoon
and evening were well attended and en-
Joyable affairs. The hemicycle was we'll
filled, but at no time overcrowded, and,
contrary to tradition, sincere interest was
evinced IN the exhibits. The prevalent
opinion was that the pictures collectively
attained higher standard than usual and
that the show as whole was most COM
mendable. During the week this impress
sion has deepened and been continually ver-
flied. While the paintings are not, it is
true all masterpieces. they are for the most
part genuinely good. They are, moreover,
what is perhaps more to the public, for
the most part pictorial, and while many
show clever handling, none depends for its
merit upon merely clever technique. 1t Is
an exhibition which must find favor with
both artists and laymen, and it is one well
deserving the patronage of the people. For
the next two weeks it will be open to the
public without charge from $50 am. to
pm. on week days; from to 10 o'clock in
the evening Tuesdays and Fridays and
on Sundays from to o'clock In the after
noon.

The Dudley Company is playing
a very satisfactory return engage

popular play, THE Tradesman.
The splendid reputation they made
before was sustained in highly
creditable manner Two or three
changes have been made since their
former visit. Mr.. Towsend Irwin
and Miss Cora Belle Boone have
joined the company and Miss Van
Esse has retired.
In the play Monday night Miss
Boonie was cast for the part of
Marion Willoughby, as a substitute
for Miss Van Esse,
On Tuesday night the company
appeared for the first time in "A
Natures Nobleman' and scored a
decided hit. In the opinion of
many this was the best vehicle for
tue combination OF talent of all the
plays they have presented here.
1t is a delightful comedy of the
higher type, comprising a fund of
rich humor and pleasing effects.

evenly. They we're both good. Mr..

PROJECT YOURSELF AGAINST GERMS
People WITH Weak StOmachs Most Liable
to Catch Disease.

~ NNtNH ~fS%0SNs
When the stomach and digestive or
gans are weak the food does not digest
and there is a sour, Shiny, fermenting
mass, making it an ideal spot for the
disease germs to multiply. The only
way toprotect yourself against disease
germs is to strengthen the stomach
and digestive organs, and Mi-o.na is
the only agent, so far as is known,
that will accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for indigestion and stomach troubles
is advertised to act upon the food
alone, and hence can give no more
than temporary relief. Mi-o-na is a
certain cure in all cases of stomach
troubles, excepting cancer, because it
enables the stomach and digestive or
gans to act in the way nature intended
they should. Drugs cannot digest the
food; they simply decompose it.
If you suffer with distress after eat
ing, pains in the head, chest, sides
and back, belching of gases and undl-
geSted food, bad taste in the mouth,
dizziness, or vertigo, heartburn, varia-
BILE appetite, sick headaches, spots be-
fore the eyes, and have a general feel
ing of dependency, weakness, and
debility you should at once strengthen
the stomach and digestive system by
the use of Mi-o.na. There is no liquid,
no alcohol, no spoonful doses with Mi
o-na. just one simple tablet out Of a
fifty cent box before eating, and your
stomach will soon become so strong
and healthy that you will be germ
proof. Ask the Red Cross Pharmacy
TO show you the guarantee under
which they sell Mi-o-na; costs nothing
unless 1t cures.

WOULD INCREASE BASE HIT
Joe Cantillon Suggests Plan Which
He Believes Is Needed to Give
More Batting.

Just one more plan has been evolved
which is intended to solve the much-dis-
cussed problem Of basebalI-how to bring
about more batting without increasing the
playing time to any extent.
Joe CantiIlOn. Owner-manager OF the
St Paul club in the American assOcia-
ton. is the author of the latest plan.
One Of the beauties of his scheme is that
Il is in no wise radical, and for this
reason will invite consideration.
Cantillons idea is merely to amend the
present foul strike rule so that all foul
balls that drop behind a line drawn
across the home place at ri2ht angles 10
the line from the pitchers box shall not
be called strikes. All balls that drOD in
front Of that line and without the old
established foul lines shall be governed
by the present foul strike rule. In other
words. any batted ball that @Oes behind
the batsman shall not be called a strike.
That there IS an unmis taxable demand
for more hitting in baseball is apparent
To ali students of the sport. ana that
sooner or later "a falling off OF public
interest will be noticeable is the cOnclu-
sion that many baseball men have ar
rived at and many hours of thought have
been devoted to devising ways and means
to accomplish this without disturbing the
established rules. Suggestions without
number have been offered from time to
time.
