Mr.. Humphreys was taken suddenly

understudy, Owen Moore. regularly
cast as Antonio, was not sufficiently
familiar with the lines to give a first
class portrayal of the character. Miss
Holland thought more of her reputa-
ton here than she die the receipts Of
the box office, and did not want to put
on a production that might react

1T was decided, under the circum
stances, to cancel, and the
ment was made to he audience by
Miss Hollands a ger. her brother,
Frank Holland.
The members of the company inn
mediately went into rehearsal in order
to put Mr.. Moore in shape to handle
the lead in this Afternoon and even
ing's performances at Cedar Rapids.
A new leading nan has been tele-
graphed for, and within a few days is
expected to join the. company.

Fat Folks at Unique
Luncheon
Newport Hostess Turns Beauty Doc
tor and Tells Guests How to
Lose 20 Pounds Of Ex-
cess Fat a Month.

1t has just leaked out that Mrs. G.
Sylvester Bournil's mysterious lunch
con invitations of last week, which de-
scribed the function as a select affair
for those only who were over "16O,"
referred not to the age of the guests
but to their weight.
The luncheon was wittily entitled he
Emancipation Luncheon" but the sig
nificance of this title was not clear un-
til it was discovered today that at this
luncheon Mrs. Bournil told the secret
of getting thin without the necessity
for the scant, Furnishing diet usually
prescribed by the doctors.
At each plate, concealed among the
fern and orchid decorations, the guests
found a dainty engraved card on which
was inscribed the following: " OF.
Marmola, " or. Fluid Extract Cas-
lara Aromatic and 3k OF. Syrup
Simplex. Nothing more. To the in
quiring puzzled glances of her guests
Mrs. Bournil replied by a few words
cards, she said, was a simple one for
the secret or home treatment of ex-
cessive fat. 1t was harmless and pleas
ant, she declared, and she earnestly
advised all her over-fleshy friends to
preserve the formula, for it made a
mixture that would, If taken in tea
spoonful portions after meals and at
bedtime, not only take off from one-
half to a pound of fat a day but pre-
serve the natural beautiful outline of
the figure-in short, prevent wrinkles.
She concluded by saying she had
gathered them together to show them
how they could get as thin as they
cared to be without dieting, exercise
or taking the waters; emancipate them
in other words, of their over-abundant
fat and from the restrictions of the
beauty specialist and obesity doctor at
one and the same time.

Tho Christina. Dinner.

In spite Of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame On the cook If they begin the
Christmas dinner with little appetite
and end 1t with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake Of the cook!
The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach, rath-
err than a bad cook, and for a weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to

ach vigor and tone. cures dyspepsia,
creates appetite, and makes eating the

Iowa Central Checks.
Beginning with today, the monthly
pay day of the Iowa Central, the Rail-
road Y. NJ. C. A. discontinued cashing
pay checks, which it has been in the
custom of doing for the past three or
four years. The First National bank
preferred to handle the business itself,
or let it come to the retail merchants.
The Y. M. G. A. officers have decided
that the accommodation caused a great
deal of work, with but little apparent
benefits to the association, and so de-
cided to discontinue the custom. There
was also a certain risk and RESPONSE
bility in handling SO much money. The
First National bank has intimated that
If the demand existed it might arrange
to keep open until 6 o'clock on the
monthly pay day of the Central. The
association cashed approximately S.
900 in checks each pay day.

pie weather for the growing crop were the
chief factors used by the bears in fore
ing down the price of wheat. A decline of
more than penny in the price of wheat

feature OF trading was general liquidation

ditiOn to this profit taking there was also
free selling for short account. Several
rallies occurred during the day. but each
advance seemed TO be the signal for
still more liberal sales by holders The
