TO REOPEN CRAWFORD.
Miss Bob White VIII Be Given at Adj
vanced Prices.

The Crawford, Topeka s unsafe thea
ter, is to be reOpened for so-called first
class attractions Miss Bob White a
comic opera, is to be given Saturday
afternoon and evening. The afternoon
prices are 81 and at night $3.50. The
theater going public will probably be
interested to know that Miss Bob
White, the same company which will
appear in Topeka, played Mr. Craw-
ford's St. Joe theater last night and
yesterday afternoon. The matinee
price for the best seats was so cents
and the night price 81. Still the peo-
pie of Topeka are expected to go into
an unsafe theater and pay 100 per cent
more for the privilege than Mr.. Craw-
ford exacts in at least one other of his
theaters.
Miss Bob White was given at Omaha
on March and the matinee prices
were 20 and so cents. Even then it
apears that the show was dear at that
price as the following criticism from
the World-Herald of March would
indicate:
ITO the casual observer seated in
the vast recesses of Boyd's theater
last night it seemed as if more people
left during the play than entered be-
fore the curtain was rung up on the
first act, if such a thing were possible.
It was hard to blame the man who
grabbed up his hat with a panied ex-
preston on his face and did a quick
countermarch up the aisle toward the
exit for he had every reason to do so.
Miss Bob White was written by
man who didn't know how and was
staged by Teal evidently a duck. The
clumsy lyrics and uncertain music vie
with each other in creating disturb
ance, while the humOr is of the kind
which has to be pushed over the foot
lights like a bale of hay. There are
only two women and one man in the
cast who know anything about the
gentle art of singing, while the entire
female contingent would experience
some difficulty in selling their portraits
to a patent medicine company to be
used as recommendations The best
way to treat Miss Bob White is to
keep it dark and say nothing Why
the affair has lived this long is a deep.
dark mystery.
There is a long, MISUNDERSTANDING

CURIOUS CHANGE
Caused by Food.

"a few months ago" writes a \. Y.
state woman. 81 was the victim of a
stomach so disordered that I could eat
scarcely any sort of food without suf-
fering great distress. In time an erup-
ton appeared, of a most painful ma
ture. which covered my whole body
and which thedoctors said was erysipe-
las, and prescribed for it accordingly.
Their medicines gave me no relief
however, my condition growing worse
day by day At last it occurred to me
that possibly the arrangement of my
stomach was the cause of the trouble.
The doctors said that that organ was
like piece Of raw beef.
81 made a complete change in my
diet, and put myself on a straight
regimen of Grape-Nuts food In a
day or two began to improve, my
digestion gradually came back, all the
nervousness and headaches disap-
peared, and within 10 days the So
called erysipelas passed away and has
never returned. Meantime my weight
has increased and I can digest food
that formerly I could not.
II can honestly say that Grape-Nuts
food constitutes the best diet I ever
used. Name given by Postum Co,

DID WE'LL AT THE ASYLUM.
Harry Ogden, Fat and sleek, Must Now
Answer for Burglary.

Harry Ogden, looking fit for foot
race, weighing twenty pounds more
than when arrested, was brought back
to the county Jail this morning from
the state insane asylum, in which place
he has been confined since the middle
of January.
Ogden is one of Sheriff Lucas vic
tins, and has several charges against
him. most of them burglary. When
arrested he was suffering badly from
morphine and cocaine eating, a habit
to which he was greatly addicted.
He was tried in the probate court
and sent to the asylum to see if he
could not be built up. His sojourn
there did wonders for him. He is fat
and chubby, and weighs 81 pounds
more than when he went to the place.
That is a great recommendation for
the asylum.
Ogden was put back into Jail until
the officers determine on the specific
charge upon which he will be prose-
