At THE PLAYHOUSEs
.eThc I.Ie of spiee. at the boyd.

"The Isle OF spice AT the bOyd,
1t may be that series of one-nght
stands in zero weather with stalled train
and an all-day ride before reaching Omaha,
have had the same effect on the members
of ''The Isle of Spice" company that the
continued cold spell has had on the citizens
of Omaha. Whatever the reason, the piece
was not given with the snap expected, nor
was 1t received with any great degree of
enthusiasm at the Boyd last night. The
audience was fairly good, so far as numbers
is concerned, and the members of the COM
-pany apparently, worked with their usual
zeal, but somehow the combination wouldn't
work. 'J VI, a.,
The piece has been worked over and i'm
proved in a number of ways since II was
shown here last season, and is the better
for 4 run in New York and other eastern
clties,s where II was very popular during
''the good old summer time" Its music is
tuneful and catchy, and 1t has an unusual
number of SONGS that are spirited and de-
serve popularity The Goo Goo Man" was
well received la9t night and so was Peggy
Brady" with their fine array of chorus
maneuvers and effects. 'Mercenary Mary
Ann also went quite well.- Coax Me" is a
new one and made a, hit. The comedy part
of the entertainment is taken care of al
most as effectively as the rAuslc. and that
is saying much, for the songs are all well
sung. THE Isle of Spice" will be repeated
at a.matinee this afternoon and again this
evening.

BAD HEALTH.
Worry, 0verwork, Nasty Eating, Ex cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of Sleep, Neglect of Natures
 Calls. These Bring on the
 Deadly Bright's Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear as a result of the feyerish restlessness of modern civilization. Ii is a treacherous enemy, working out is deadly effect under cover of the most triaing symptoms. The first indication of changes in the urine, frequent head aches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial measures. Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy of the greatest merit; it is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly re. lieves the aching or soreness that always appears in advanced stages, checks the progress of the disease and through its excellent cleansing and regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels, it brings back the strength and ruddy glow of vigorous health.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label.

bit of notoriety Sherman Bell has ever

for notoriety humiliated the admins

his friends to remove the upstart or
paddock his mouth but he declined to
do the former and soon discovered
that the latter WAS feat impossibl to
accomplish.
Peabody remained true to his
appointee even though Bell was at all
times a mi millstone about the guberna

whatever but that Bell injured Cover.

SAVE One PLANT A YEAR

Luther Burbank, the California
plant breeder whose phenomenal fruits
and flowers are now creating such a
stir. advises amateurs in The Country
Calendar for May, the first issue of
the new outdoor monthly published by
the Review of Reviews Book Company
From the new plants that grow,
only the best should he kept alive, -
all the weakly ones must be put ont of
the way The next harvest of seeds
should be gathered with tho same care.
and out of all the plants that come, no
matter how many there may be, Mr..
Burbank says; Save only one. He
emphasizes tnis: Save but one plant
each year, and that the best of all.
The next year the same method must
be followed, and so on, at last will
come the perfect one.
And this leads to the other depart
ment of the work selection. Mr..
Burbank thinks that selection as well
as breeding, is likely to prove very
satisfactory to the amateurs. He saws
on this point:
'Pick ont plant which you like,
but which you wish different in some
particular. Perhaps it does not alto.
gether suit you in color; perhaps it is
not so deep or intense as you would
like to have it. Select ont of the EN- .
tire lot of flowers before you. going
over them all with the utmost care
(even if there are hundreds of them)
the one which approaches nearest to
your ideal Then isolate this one
plant and select its seeds Plant them
and select, from all the plants that
result, only the best. Plant again
and again from successive seed har.
vests. each time selecting the plants
which are coming nearest your ideal.
If you have done your work faithfully
the new generations should show de-
cided leanings toward this ideal ="
