A GOOD START
PICTURE SHOW IS MAKING A Big
HIT WITH ITS PATRONS
THIS WEEK.

The Electric Theater is playing 70
packed houses these evenings and q
large crowd witnessed each showing
Of pictures yesterday evening. The
song, "Just One Word of Consola'
tlon," is one of the best that has been
given here of the Illustrated songs
and Mr.. Chas. Ingram who is always
a good singer and who can always be
heard and appreciated, renders this
selection at his best.
The picture given yesterday even
ing entitled "a Good Start" is one
Of the most humorous that has been
seen here and a picture has to be pref
ty interesting and full of life to pro
duce the outburst Of applause that
greeted "a Good Start" last night. The
picture shows balloon trip of 100
miles in the air and the balloonists
have no end Of fun picking up most
everything loose about the country,
such as dog kennels. baby buggics,
men and women with an anchor and
carrying them sufficient distance to
give them a good shaking up and drop
them promiscuously about the coun'
try. Many amusing instances were
given and the same song and picture
will be reproduced again tonight.
Mr.. Aldinger has the happy faculty
OF knowing first what his patrons ap'
preciate and he usually gets what they
want.

NEW USE FOR CRIMINALS.
Baltimore Doctor Would Use Them as
Germ Culture Mediums.

BALTIMORE, March 2O.-Dr. H. Burton
Stevenson, a well-known experimenter with
antitoxins and an ex-president of the Bal
timore County Medical Association, after
declaring yesterday that there should be
only two unpreventable causes of death,
namely, old age and accident, declared that
all germ diseases are durable by antitoxins,
and suggested that convicted criminals
should be used as antitoxin factories. II
they were willing. Continuing, DR.. Steven
son said
"Antitoxins should be produced from
human beings and not from animals, and
this should be brought about by utilizing
the criminals in our state prisons. A law
making punishment for certain crimes OPP
tional with the convicted-either fmprison-
ment or incubation with certain disease
germs-would solve the problem for all
time.
with the work in the hands Of expert
enced men, a human-produced antitoxin
could be furnished which would supply the
medical profession for all, or nearly all, the
diseases known to be due to germs. 1t
would not be dangerous to the subjects,
either. If this suggestion is too radical
for adoption in the present state OF public
opinion much good can still be done If the
state and national governments will co-ope-
rate with the medical profession in the
works of Investigations and manufacture.
Antitoxins produced by corporations are
put at so high a figure that they are be-
yond the reach of the poor
