ADJUSTMENTS
"Thc Toymakero March 1s.

Frank w. Healey's San Francisco
Opera company. which will be heard
at the Oregon theater on March IS,
has proven conclusivey that 1t is not
necessary for an organization to bear
a New York brand to make good.
The company, now in its second
year, has q string of successes not
even approached by any collection of
singers hailing from the great White
Way. In existence for two years and
its operations confined exclusively to
the west. the San Francisco Opera
company is regarded as a home pro-
duct and its series of box office rec
ords held in the northwest is proof
conclusive of its extreme popularity.

had the following to say of the com

"The Toymaker," which is both de-
lghtfully airy and humorous. opened
at the Victory last night The book
and music is up to the standard. The
story of the piece has to do with a
Johannus Guggenheimer, a German
of an inventive mind who makes toys
in the form of dolls. Most wonderful
skill had this maker of toys. who ba-
cause of bad eyeslght, sold his daugh-
ter to Frederick, the nephew OF a
rich Count Ballenberg, mistaking her
for mechanical invention which he
had constructed in her image. Some
of the dolls last night were exceed
ingly attractive, causing the old gen.
tlemen near the orchestra to scruti-
nize most carefully. The spectacular
display in the first act, showing Gug-
genheimer's marvellous workshop was
effective and brought the curtain up
some dozen times.
The costumes were in accord with
the adequate scenic investiture and
there was snappy, breezy atmos-
phere about the show that won the
audience from the start. 1t is not
always necessary for an organization
to have broadway" stamped on 1t to
be success in San Jose. This is
particularly true of the San Francis
co Opera company, which on its sew
eral visits has more than made good
A cordial welcome always awaits

How to Rid Place Of Rats and
Mice.

Get ten. cent can OF concentrated
I've and sprinkle 1t literally in every
rat or mouse run possible. Do this
about twice year.
Rats, as Is we'll known, frequent
moist places beneath floors, and
their feet is always moist. As soon
as they step on the lye It causes their
feet to burn, then they lick their feet
and there Is more burn; II they smell
OF It, there is still more burn, and
they immediately immigrate. This
] have found far more effective than
traps, dogs, cats or poison, and 1t
does as we'll for mice as rats.
Here Is another Idea, which, while
not original, is Of much value, as a
little bit Of prevention is worth lots
OF cure. II the farmers will have on
hand a few pounds OF pulverized sui
phur, and sprinkle some OF their corn
as they are putting It in the cribs,
they will have few or no mice or rats
