MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
In later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
III. writes

EN1 ER1AlAM ENTS
Hyperion Thenter.


 Few English speaking companies on the American stage to-day can com pare with the visible are and dramatic expression of the Yiidish players con- prising Thalia Theater Yiddish compa- ny from the Thalia Theater, situated on the Bowery, New York city, which will appear at the Hyperion Theater on Wednesday, February 20, in one of their best Yiddish plays, depicting several phases of Yiddish life.
 The company is headed by four of the most famous Yiddish players, Mir Da- vid Kessler, Mime. Kenny, MT Maurice Moskwitz and Samuel Thornberg sup ported by capable company under the management of Edwin A. Relkin
 Mir David Kessler and his associate players are very much inearnest in their message of truth-telling, as the acme of stage art. In these days of puerile drama and machine made stars they stand eloquently and passiOnately for verity in art, and the Yiddlsh dra- ma which embodies it, by which they hope to reach the dramatic conscious ness of America.
 The are of these Yiddish players reaches deeper than words and touch- es the springs of the primitive passions and emotions common to all human na- t,,,. Ig ,,I nf which words came intobeing.
 They reveal their emotions with an art so perfect and sympathy so true that those in the audience who know no word of Yiddish may follow the ac tion of the play with certainty and miss no crucnal situation, To act. with every part of the conscious body every moment of the play and so spontane- ously that hate, lust, passion, stands naked to the eye, without needs of words to clothe them, is to produce the truth from life most amazingly, and it is for this realism that many of the greatly lauded stars, which seinti- late along Broadway go to the school at the Ytddish Theater.
 The superb emotional powers of Mir. David Kessler, Madame K. Lipzn, Maurice Monkowitz and Mir. Thorn berg and indeed the entire supporting cast have been a revelation of drama tic art to critics and audiences of the principal cities of America.
 The play to be produced in this city is "Rifkala,' one of the latest Yiddish successes.

there yet. Patrick Kent, ex-superinten- dent of streets, who is q prominent member of the association, said yester- day that the people in the ward were awaiting a disposition of the bill in the legislature regarding the hospital. He said that as the city owned a valuable lot in Clinton avenue, by means of the bill in the legislature the city might build the hospital there after all But the people of the ward will not give up fighting this evil which it was wish ed to foist on this territory until every legitimate means of opposition was ex- hausted Mir. Kent said that the city's lot in Clinton avenue was ample for a fine school house, such as will be need ed in that part of Fair Haven very soon and that was the disposition that the property should be put to.
 The Quinnipiac Canoe club bids fair to grow to a membership of 15O and then a new and ample clubhouse will be required. There are eight applications for membership pending for action at the annual meeting in March which will make the membership about seven- ty. The proceeds for the recent min strel entertainment, amounting to about SITS will be, devoted to some needed improvements, including build ing of float for the canoes and some house furnishings, The room added by building an addition is all taken up and some fine canoes are to be added by members of the club in the spring; so that it is only a question of time, with the rapid growth of membership, before the present quarters in Front street will have to be improved by the building of new club house. The members of the minstrel company are talking of giving the entertainment in some other hall within a few weeks, but no plans have yet been made,

The staid Tribune called in novelty" the World said it was a tumble of nonsense adorned with pretty girls and festooned with pretty music; Hearst's American said 'There was q laugh every minute;s The Press called it Bright, gifly and gladsome;" Acton Davies of the Evening Sun called it Bright, snappy, musical comedy and said the Al Leech, the new star seor- ed decisively." The Globe said 1t was Brought out with unexampled splen- dor and success" The conservative Times remarked that There was a racey vernacular quality about it all a vim and intensity of spirits, homli- ness of humor, such as comes straight from the American heart and Soes as directly to it."

O'BRTEN-BURNS FIGHT MOTION
 PICTURES.

The O'Brien-Burns fight motion pie lures, which will be shown at the Hy- perion on Thursday evening, are unique in one respect at least. One can see them without getting a head ache and enjoy them without being an enthusnast on the subject of boxing. To many the marvelously realistic de- scrption of scenes at the training quarters of the fighters shown as a sort of curtain raiser 10 the fight pie lures proper are the best part of the exhibition. To James J. Corbett those pictures were a revelation: There have been dwonderful strides made in the way of animated photography since that little affair I participated in out in Carson city, said the former champi- on. "The Miles Brothers have made it possible for any one interested to wit ness a boxing contest with comfort, and the reproduction of the O'Brien- Burns fight is startlingly realistic" !"

 Means,

A good breakfast, good appetite and pod digestion mean everything to the lan, woman or child who has anything 10 do, and wants to get a good start toward doing it.
 A Mo. man tells of his wifes ''good breakfast and also supper, made out of Grape Nuts and cream. He says;
 T should just like to tell you how much good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife. After being in poor health for the last IS years, during part of the time scarcely anything would stay on her stomach long enough to nourish her. finally at the suggestion of a friend she tried Grape-Nuts.
 Now, after about four weeks on this delicious and nutritious food, she has picked up most wonderfully and seems as well as anyone can be.
 Every morning she makes good breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just as it comes from the package with cream or milk added; and then again the same at supper and the change in her is wonderful.

DE WOLF HOPPER COMING.


 A return to good old fashioned comic opera when the Messrs, shubert bring De Wolff Hopper and his great success "Happyland" to the Hyperion on Fri day afternoon anl evening. This piece was written especially for De Wolff Hopper by Reginald Dc Koven and Frederic Ranken, and In it the elonga- ted comedian finds greater opportuni- ties for the display of his distinctive comedy gifts than in any role that has fallen to his lot for many years Mir, Hopper is now at the zenith of his powers, and in the new De Koven- Ranken operetta he gives thoroughly legitimate and truly refined perfor- nance.
 '1Iappyland" is conceded to be the most brilliant American light opera since Robin Hood andin many ways 1t Is the most pretentious acore that Reginald De Koven has ever written, The author, Frederic Ranken, died ten days after the success of 'Happyland' was assured.
 Marguerite Clark, the dainty ingenue of MT. Hopper's company, has scored a success that is second only to that of the stage In addition to the pro- nounced merits of the book and score of "Happyland it's production has been acclaimed the most chaste and ar- tistic ever seen in light opera.
 The name of Wang" brings up some of the pleasantest memories to the minds of theater goers of a decade ago, and it will doubtless bring from their retirement some of those who at that time were the bright and shining lights of "the first or second row near the aisle
 And in the revival of this fine old veteran of comic opera which De Wolff Hopper grings to the Hyperion on Sat urday afternoon and evening of this week they will find that the interven- ing years have produced nothing better. It will indeed seem like the palmy days 10 see the long comedian in the role of the eminent regent and doubly rcassur- ing to know that Frank Casey as Pepat still has the royal elephant in his keep ing.
