A WESTERN QUERY.

There is heap of common sense
in the following: If the public,
through its officials, can make rifles,
it can make bread; if it can make
powder, it can make flour; if it can
deliver mail, it can deliver groceries;
if it can protect the seals for furs for
the rich, it can stop speculation; If it
can irrigate vast lands in the west, it
can control and use them afterwards
for production, instead of turning
them over to land sharks; if it can
build the Panama canal, it can build
railroads Los Angeles Citizen

the interior work to be pushed rap

numbers have steadily increased in
spite of the large percentage that

their homes. The number Of pa

could be made to accommodate those
patients from the northern counties

care of the increase of new pa

mate was reduced to a point where
only the increase and present occu
pants can be cared for and some 81

Because reproved by his parents
for not combing his hair. Henry
Southland, IA year old son of Nora

quantity of carbolic acid with sui
cidal intent. After taking sup of
the poison, badly burning his mouth
and throat. he attempted to dilute
the drug with water and was discov-

him, saving his life.
1t Is not believed he took enough
of the acid to cause death, although
he Is sick and still in the care Of a
physician.
Efforts we're made by the family
to keep the matter a secret and con-
sequently the city physician was not
notified. A younger brother made
the fact known to his playmates at
school.
The Southland family lives on the

2Srd, will keep you awake and make
you sit up and take notice. 1t is
not what is termed up TO the aver
age in musical plays, but Is far su-

transformed to THE Land OF Nod, :"
where she meets all sorts Of queer
creatures and people.
The Sand Man. plots and robs
the king of Hearts" of all the
hearts in the kingdom. Without
these, the inhabitants of this strange
country are powerless to fall in love.
or course. the hearts are finally re-
stored and everything ends happily.
Meanwhile, funny situations are in.
troduced and some OF the most pleas
ing musical numbers. The chorus,
which numbers sitxy, is drilled to a
standard of efficiency that Is little
short OF marvellous. The settings
are very elaborate. One act shows
the Castle OF Cards with its mush
room lowers, a candy bridge and the
Peppermint river.
The electrical and scenic effects
make this one of the most realistic
ever seen on any stage. The seconc
act discloses the Nightmare Palac,
with its hideous creatures and is
wonder Of stagecraft.
Among the principals are sucl
we'll known names as Knox Wilson
