RHEUMATISM CAN BE CURED

That rheumatism Is one OF the most
obstinate OF diseases most physicians
will declare, and that once 1t takes

fering is equally true. Modern meth
DDS in medicine are, however, doing
much to rob rheumatism Of It's terrors,
and doctors Of wide experience say.
that in the treatment Of the disease
great success follows the faithful use

The Reason Why.

There is good ground for hope
that the State Journal Will attain 10
n reasonably intelligent understand.
Ing of the states educational system
and its needs II It continues to read
The Post with due diligence, The
Parkersbarg paper should try to
grasp the idea that a school may be
doing good educational work even
II it Is not training teachers in the
technique Of pedagogy. The coun.
try normals are worth while because
they are excellent preparatory
schools-not in the narrow sense OF
getting young men and women ready
for a college or university course

} CRAZE r.. is ABATlNe.

II Is stated that the fast train ser.
vice in this country which has attract.
fed 80 much attention will soon be a
thing Of the past. At. a meeting OF the
4oiilcers OF the eastern lines yesterday
the Subject Of frightening the time
of the run between New York and
Chicago was taken up and It was found
that the operating and executive Off.
GERS favored the proposition. While
Some some Of the officials thought the IS,
hour run ought to be still shortened,
making The time between the two cit,
les only 10 or II hours, the majority
favored making the schedule 20 hours.
5lt was argued that there was not so
strong a demand for the fast trains as
had been anticipated and that the
freight traffic has been retarded. No
mention was made OF The added dan.

CHINATOWN CHARLIE TO BE
GIVEN AT THE COLUMBIA

A. H. Woods's production of China
town Charlie is said to have proved one
of the most profitable melodramas that
play the popular-priced houses. 1t con-
tains an array of startling stage pictures,
and though its story is stepped in crime,
there is declared to be a strong uhdercur-
rent of moral suasion.
IT Is story based upon the follies Of
youth 1t tells how promising young
man has been beguiled by evil companion
ships; how his weak understanding has
been dragged to the verge of collapse be-
fore he is made to realize his mistakes.
Charlie Jackson, the hero of the story,
known to all his friends and acquaintances
as chinatown Charlie" is intended to fur
nIsI proof that even person lost to all
sense of honor, whose whole system has
become undermined from the effects Of
liquor and deadly drugs, can still be re-
claimed If only the proper opportunities
arise.
The cast includes two members of the
old Columbia Theatre Stock Company and
others known to Newarkers.
Those who attend the playhouse for the
purpose Of sensa ational entertainment
should find in Chinatown Charlie which
will be presented at the Columbia Theatre
next week, commencing with a Monday
matinee, a play to their liking. The scenic
investure and the special features are said
to add much to the audiences pleasure.
MatlEees will be given daily during
Christmas week.

dience is said to be sustained.
The play is a dramatization of Rex
Beacf's novel of the same name, which
gained a wide popularity and will readily
be recalled Mr. Beach and James Mac
Arthur made the dramatization. 1t Is
founded upon the ruthless looting of the
Alaskan gold fields and the dispossession,
through so-called processes of law, of the
miners who had located their claims
throughout the rich mining country. The
principal character, Roy Glenister, one of
the miners, is rugged product of the
conditions which surround him. The
strength of the play lies in the struggle
between Glenister and MacNamara for
possession OF the mine. These two are
also rivals for the hand, and heart of the
heroine Helen Chester, niece of the COR
rupt Judge Stillman, who is MacNa-
nlara's tool. Helen is the innocent cause
of much Of the trouble that comes to the
owners of the mine. inasmuch as she was
the bearer Of papers to Nome, which gave
to the conspirators the means of selling
the mine. She finally recovers those very
papers at a deserted road house, having
learned that by their contents the honest
miners have been dispossessed.
The play was originally tried out at a
Broadway play house last spring. -

FRoHMAN MUSICAL PLAY
THE pAIRYMAIDs' AT NEWARK

Charles Frohman's latest successful
musical play, 1.-THE Dairymaids,' with its
big cast of American and English come
dlans. comes to the Newark Theatre on
Monday for a weeks engagement. Its
visit here will, be almost directly after Its
long run in New York, where it was de-
clared to be among the best song shows
Broadway has had this season. Annually
Mr. Frohman makes large musical pro-
duction which generally opens his extern
sive season. In this order there have been
"The Three Little Maids" THE School
GIRL '"rhe Girl from Kay's,'' The Catch
of the Season" and THE Little Cherub, >"
all of which are pleasantly remembered
not only for their daintiness and charn
but also tor their plentltude of comedy
and possession of tuneful melodies. THE
Dairymaids' belongs to this class for II
is said to possess all of these attractive
qualities and at the same time to be novel
in theme.
AS its title implies this musical play
breathes the fresh air of the meadows aud
suggests pretty girls and lovers meetings
in shady lanes. Scenlcally Mr.. Frohman
is declared to have met this requirement
with a free hand. AS a song show THE
Dairymaids" has the record OF twenty dis
tinct popular melodies. Foremost Of these
Is the comedy song MARY MCGEE" which
is sung by four comedians. Others are
