FItANIERS or THE
SHERMAN LAW

The charge has frequently been
made that the Sherman antitrust law
Is an imperfect piece of legislation
drawn up hastily without thorough,
study of the problems involved. In
an article in the October Mcclure IS
Burton J. Hendricks how that this
is not true. OF the trainers Of the

SOME ABsURDITIEs
OF THE STAGE


Some of the stock absurdlties OF
stage business familiar to every
theatergoer have become artistic
functions which not even the spirit
of progress In realism would dare
10 challenge. The maid, for instance,
whose business II IL to dust the furni-
ture, enters with duster which has
never lost feather and makes
straight for some article which will
get her into the fret succeeding pic
tlre or situation. The general rule
is that both she and the stage dl-
rector have thought more about get
ting Der into that situation than
about the Immediate business OF her
part; SO she attack ono leg OF
chair and dusts IL into spllnters,
while the mantelplece. piano, table
and woodwork groan and grunt In
vain for their share OF caresslng.
Using the telephone on the stage
Is nearly always n piece OF abgurdlty.
The nlnver puts the receiver 10 his
ear, Instantly gives the number am.
as lne'gntly gets his connection. 1rx-
ceptlng In comedy there never was
the left trouble getting central. there
never was the slightest delay In
making connection, the call was al
ways answered prompily and no third
party ever crossed IN on the wire!

Corps, is suing for divorce on the ground
that during the nine years of their
married life she refused to become his
wife in fact as well as in name,' is
reconciled to a separation.
Mrs. Richards finds that she and her
husband are strangers to each other.
This she attributes in part to the past
experiences of their souls before being
incarnated in the present life.
Mrs. Richards is an unusually pretty
young woman. She has engaged five
attorneys to look out for her legal in
%terests and will fight the allegations he
makes. Colonel Richards, one of the
best known officers in the Marine Corps,
is the brother of John X. Richards,

the daughter of former Senator Roger

 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.
