Dress in Costume Always.
Max Beerbohm, the English artist,
brother Of Beerbohm Tree, has caused
considerable amusement by his sugges-
lions on stage costumes, says special
cable dispatch from London to the
New York World
I'VE have no drama yet" he says,
'.but we have costumes. What is want
ed IS stage clothing, not costume The
French stage spends too little On dress,
that Of London too much. But when ii
comes to the wearing Of clothes Lon
don has to take back seat Partisan
actors and actresses are not conscious
Of the fact that they are dressed up. In
England the opposite Is the case. All
rehearsals should be dress rehearsals.
That would make the payers feel at
home on the night of production.
In fact, it would make them wear
their clothes out Of doors, because II
would advertise the play and would
lessen the self consciousness Of the In
dividuals forming the company.

Is often the cause of bitter disap-

looks after the future welfare OF
his family by buying life insur-

would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho

are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman

when John was 20, and has it cop

all she has. Don't you think a

field and Representative Campbell
of Kansas, the author OF the
House resolution.
Mr.. Campbell submitted to Mr.
Garfield the complaints of the
persons interested and also a
statement outlining in detail the
alleged abuses Of Standard Oil in
Kansas. Announcement was made
this morning that Commissioner
Garfield would probably 60 to
Kansas and conduct the inquiry
there in person.
The President has directed him
to act with the greatest possible
dispatch, and to see to it that the
work is carefully done. For this
reason he will in all probability
look over the field and direct the
operations of his special agents
Representative Campbell's pos
tive statement pointing out al
legged evils in the oil trade in
Kansas is elaborate. He begins
by asserting that "the Standard
Oil company is the only purchaser
of crude oil in Kansas" He
charges that the company has CO.
operated with the railroads to
drive out of business independent
refneries, and is almost as Sc
we're IN his criticism or the car
riers as he is of the oil company
itself.
According to Mr.. Campbell an
oil refinery was established in
Humboldt, Kan. at was hamper
ed by the Standard Oil company
to such an extent" says Mr..
Campbell, "that it has not had
an opportunity to do a great
amount of good for itself or the
people. The Humboldt refinery
had a good market for fuel oil
until last fall, when the rate on
this commodity was increased by

Startling, But True.

People the world over were
Mortified on learning Of the burn
ing Of a Chicago theater in which
nearly six hundred people lost
their lives, yet more than five
times this number, or over 5000
people, died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year,
with scarcely a passing notice.
Every one of these cases of pneu-
monia resulted from a cold and
could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. A great many
who have had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded it
off by the prompt use of this
remedy. The following is an in
stance of this sort: "TOo much
cannot be said in favor of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and es-
pecially for colds and influenza.
I know that it cured my daughter
Laura of a severe cold, and I be-
lieve saved her life when she was

Garfield May Conduct Kansas
Investigation Himself

100 pounds from Humboldt tc
Kansas City to II cents. This IN
crease in the rate put the refinery
out of the business, and the sup
position is that the rate was
raised on account Of pressure
brought to bear by the Standard

Representative Campbell Their
describes conditions in the Kan
sas oil fields, contending that al
those interested in the industry
are at the mercy of the Standard
| for the reasons that it owns the
only pipe line, that it is the only
purchaser and that it controls the

Commissioner Garfield has al
ready started the wheels in mo-
ton for the investigation of the
Standard Oil. Practically all the
special agents, about fifty in mum
Der. who were engaged in The
beef inquiry up to a few weeks
ago will be sent to Kansas. But
if Commissioner Garfield acts as
deliberately as he did in the case
of the Beef trust, Congress will
probably have to wait long time
before it gets the report on the
Standard.
If money will help to accom-,
plish the end, the inquiry will be
one of the most thorough ever
conducted by the Government
Chairman Hemenway of the
House Committee on Appropria-
tons today, assured Representa-,
tive Campbell that Secretary
Commerce and Labor, should
have as much money as he
thought he would need.
Mr.. Campbell inquired about
the matter because he had read
about the request Of Secretary
Metcalf for a reappropriation of
the mexpended balance allowed
in the current legislative, eXecu-
tive and judicial appropriation
bill. He wanted to make sure
that the request would be COM
piled with. The assurance given
by Chairman Hemenway satisfied
Mr.. Campbell that there will be
no trouble so far as Congress is
concerned.
