THROUGH THE OPERA GLASS.
From Chorus to Principal.


1t is surprising how many really great
singers and actors have risen from the
chorus to prominence. Many enter the
chorus for the purpose of getting stage
Knowledge. having in mind some plot or
character to work out by real experience.
Some enter the chorus because It is the
! only alternative others as last re-
source, others because they know they
have the opportunity OF serious study, the
example OF others, and what is good and
what Is bad They have the experience
Of working off awkwardneSs, stiffness
and sometimes Ungainliness. There is the
makeup box and all the paints that must
be used How this paint is used must
become nothing short OF art-the homely
made beautiful the beautiful made pene-
trating.
Any ono too proud to work out his or
her path In the chorus is too conceited
TO ever make Il success. They know too
much already. more would exhaust their
already weak brain. If more OF those
who aspire to theatrical fame would
school themselves in small parts and the
chorus, there would be fewer failures
fewer bad actors and less vocal corrup-
tion. Perhaps better plays would be writ
ten and better plays produced, better
salaries paid and better singers and
actors to pay salaries to.
Nothing Is quito so dlshenrtening as the

fidence within himself. knows he can do

rudimentary knowledge. and who steps
out only TO step Dack n failure. Let eX-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful it is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature. but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not q
drug AT all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Inn
proves the complexion, II whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; IT
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money Is
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless antisep-
tics in tablet form or rather In the form
of large. pleasant tasting lozenges. the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenees Will
soon tell In a much improved condition

possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary.
