MELODY CURE

OF music for nearly every phase OF
alteration. Here, for example, is her
catalogue:
For simple mania, or just ordinary
insanity, a few doses OF slow. dreamy

The soothing and curative affect Of
music upon the insane and the less

cognized by DIR. w. IL. Hancker. sup

SHADOW PLAYS BEING
REVIVED IN GERMANY
New Movement in Drama Led
by Bavarian Baron
Is Spreading

little band of enthusiasts headed
by Baron Alexander Won Bernus has
revived in a suburb of Munich the
ancient schattenspielhaus or shadow
theater. But like many revivals, this
lays claim to being a new movement
in the drama.
Shadow plays are a product OF the
far east Their very early history is
difficult to trace. We hear of them
first in China-that0''ba barbarian" coun-
try whose civilization antedates that
of any other country in the world
Japan, too, has had shadow plays and
they are known in the history of India
But in more recent years they have
been commoner in Turkey and Egypt
Baron Won Bernus has taken the
shadow play a little more seriously
than his contemporaries of France.
He has gathered about him a band of
serious men and women who have
adapted to the uses of their theater
some of the dramas of Goethe. who have
themselves written plays especially for
the neutrality-suspicious. and who have
designed the tableaux which illustrate
the progress of the drama.
The methods of the shadow theater

have been subject to many variations.
Some shadow plays have been produced
with living actors whose profiles have
been projected on a screen. This form
is known in the United States. The
archaic form, now revived, uses images
cut out of card or wood or leather. In
Arabia the shadow figures were of
colored leather, through which the
light behind threw on the screen which
faced the spectator a dull glow like
stained glass. Some of the oriental
shadow artists share in the produc-
ton and each tableau is drawn by
one of them; while all the enthusiasts
join in cutting out the figures and pre-
pairing the scenes. The plays produced
cover a wide range-from Don Juan
to the old morality play. Baron Won
Bernus is to take his shadow plays
through Germany-in an educational
spirit-and perhaps some day they may
be seen in the United States.-Technical
World.

YES; IT'S PRINCIPALLY POLITICS.

Says the Hibbing Tribune:
The Beltrami County Tax League
is enrolling members at the rate of
a couple dozen a day. Think what
a fine registration list the member
ship roll will make next November. "
Brother Hitchcock has, evidently,
been reading the list of names of the
principal promoters of the so-called
Tax League" There are a fine
bunch of political war horses en-
rolled among several who honestly
signed the list for the announced
purpose of adjusting the taxes of the
county. There are others behind
the scenes, however, whose personal
interest has little to do with tax
matters, and whose motto is The
people be d." The Vaccinations
of political bosses are of little avail
in adjusting taxes or anything else,
except for personal gain.

CANNON AT WHITE HOUSE.
Refuses to Discuss Subject Of the
Conference.

WIN 81 SUS0s
Washington, May 2 After some
what extended conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White House
Speaker Cannon, on leaving, said:
Whenever am requested by the
president to come to his Office have
made it an invariable rule to refrain
from discussing the subject matter
under consideration. However, there
was nothing of such Importance con-
sidered that the president should not
make it known if he sees fit.''
Speaker Cannon would express no
prophesy as to whether or not con-
gress would conclude its work this
week.
Representative Townsend Of Mich
igan, who is making strong efforts to
put through at this session legislation
restricting Injunction powers of the
courts, also had talk with the presi-
dent. Mr.. Townsend said that at the
conference of Republicans to be held
shortly it was hoped an agreement
would be reached to take up and pass
the bill introduced jointly by Repre-
sentatives Madison of Kansas and
Hubbard of West Virginia. Mr..
Townsend said he thought this meas
ure, if it should become a law, would
satisfy the majority of the laboring
men of the country, although it might
not be radical enough for some of the
labor leaders.

A perusal of the proof of the

which is advertising matter pure and
