American actor and playwright,
made his annual visit to Logan on
Monday night Of this week, in his
well known and popular play "rhe

not large, hut what was lacking

and capable actors. Little need

He has become, with his partner,
VIM. McCauley, fixture in tho
theatrical world. Their plays, all
written by Patton himself will go
down in history MS works Of art.
The company playing "Slow Poke

yanking her jaw around like the

You will not be likely to forget
that much abused organ, the liver,
but if you come to the conclusion
that you are bilious, don't dose
yourself with calomel or strong
cuthnrtic pills, but stop eating
one, two or three meals and the
chances arc that the machinery
will start off again in good work
ing order. We have proceeded
thus far upon the hypothesis that
a normal, healthy allmentary canal
will of itself prevent constipation
and such is the rule. One thing
you may rely upon medicine never
has, nor never Will cure constipa-
tion, no more than water will cure
thirst or food hunger; Of course, n
laxative or cathartic will relieve
constipation but like the drunk
ards dram, calls for repetition.
You haye all noticed that when it
became necessary to take purge,
it was followed by constipation for
several days afterward. So it is
not our purpose at this writing, to
tell you what medicines to take
for you all have your favorite pills,
powder or mineral waters--to cure
constipation, but rather to suggest
what you may do to preve mt con-
stipation. OF course, we do not
mean to say that purgatives should
never be taken, for in fevers and
bilious conditions which will not
be relieved by dieting, intestinal
intoXication is set up, and then it
is necessary to take purge, and
good, strong one, and follow it up
with some gooG intestinal anti
septic--of which the sulpho.car-
bolate of zine, in doses of from one
to ten grains dissolved in water
every 2 to 3 hours, is the best.
But what we are pleading for is,
don't get into the habit of taking
medicine for this purpose any
more than you should get into the
habit of taking whisky.
The first essential in preventing
constipation is to have regular
habits.
Drink freely of water before
meals and on going to bed,
Don t be too dainty in your eat
ing, but eat some of the coarser
varities of food. Use whole wheat
or bran bread. Use the more sue
culent fruits and vegetables freely
and eat freely of the fat of meats.
If you have noticed, the carniv-
orous animal suffers most from
constipation.
Do all these things, but, 'remem-
ber they will do YOU but little
good, if you neglect the one i'm
portant, and great, essential thing,
regular habits.

THEATRICAL
COMMENTS

UUNIMLWIO
OpIe Read, lecturer, traveller
and novelist lectures at the Opera
House tomorrow ( Friday )evening
on his latest and best subject
"First One Thing and Then An
other" 1t is not often that Lo-
gan has such opportunities as this
very rare treat, and Mr.. Read
should and will be greeted by q
packed house. Go and hear this
wonderful man, who has world
wide reputation, and after hear
ing his lecture congratulate your
self that you have in your midst,
two such enterprising young men
as Messrs. Fred Hoppe and Jotn
Billison, who haye at loss
been able to give to the theatre
going public class of attractions
seldom seen in small cities. Each
and every attraction they offered
was worth the price, and some you
could not have heard in other
places for the price of the entire
season ticket, This is not an
advertisements in any sense of
the word, but is written by a rank
outsider who is anxious at all
times to give the ''devil" his dues.
Manager Hoppe is using keen
foresight in his booking this
season. He has had several
opportunities recently to book
some attractions for April, but
turned them all down. Clarance
Bennett wanted return date
of their Holy City Company but
was refused. Hi Henry Ministries
wanted to take chance, and they
were likewise turned down. And
last but not least was Nixon and
Zimmerman 5 star attraction,
"Tom Walters in "The Mayor of
Laughland." j" Mr.. Koppe's excuse
in turning down these well-known
attractions was that money
was scarce and factories were not
working full time, and those things
are poor proposition from a
theatrical standpoint.
Our next real good attraction
wi | be William McCauley in his new
play from the pen Of that gifted
actor and play wright, w, b. Patton,
who was here on April 9th. Mr..
McCauley will be remembered for
his clever work in "The Little
Homestead. lie is one of the lead
ing actors on the American stage.
Those funny "rellers", the
Lyman Twins, will visit us on
April 24Ch, Personally, these
clever chaps strike us as being
about the best that visit us during
the season. Their company g al
ways good, and they are dandy
fellows on and off the stage. You
WON'T make mistake in seeing
these comediens IN THEN new play
fhe Yankee Drummers.
G.. S. Williams has asked Mr..
Hoppe for his open time during
April, and iniall probability he will
book his well-known play "The
Arrival of Kitty" In this play
AN Athens Ohio girl, who is we'll
known in Logan, plays the leading
role. Mrs. Florence Forest, known
in private life as Mrs. @. :, Will
Jams, and better known here by her
maiden name of MRs Florence :
LASH daughter Of prominent
Athens Ohio druggist Mrs. Lash /
has made great strides in the pro- I
fession in recent ears. The play, +
Frhe Arrival of Kitty" is a very ;
Innny farce, and the company /

''Mysterious Disappear
ance."

"Mysterious Disappearance is
headline that become familiar as
an almost daily feature of.the new
paper. The stories come from
cities, villages, and hamlets of
somebody's dropping out of his
home and haunts, leaving no clew.
The total of the years army of
mysteriously disappeared is amaz-
ing-and no estimate can be made
of those who are never again
heard of by friends or relatives.
A pathetic indiction of the
number thus lost is occasionally
afforded in an unexpected way
One such Indication is to be found
today in special file of letters at
the offices of Wasburn- Crosby Co.
in Minneapolis, MINI. A full
pnge group picture Of the big
force Of millers employed in max
ing Gold Medal Flour was recent
ly widely published. The picture
shows hundreds of intelligent
faces under clean white caps-and
is striking as an illustration of the
representative type of American
workingman.
A day or two after the picture
appeared, a letter came to the
company from heart broken
mother who thought she had
recognized her son in the group.
She said that the boy had Gisap-
peared two years before, and that
the likeness was so close she was
almost certain it was him.
With the name she enclosed the
picture cut out from the group
and besought the company TO
write whether or not he was her
son. 1t was another disannoint-
ment that the mail bore back TO
her for the pict,,re was Mt once
