Land of Nod.

Samuel E. Rork's beautiful produc-
 ton extravaganza. The Land of Nod will occupy the stage at the Elks theater matinee and night, Wednes- day, September 16. It is a production whose novelty of character drawing and stage furnishment distinguishes 1t among it's contemporaries. No such personages have ever before been introduced into stage work and the: have been so skillfully arranged that any suggestion of artificiality has been overcome. "The Man in the Moon and his wife, Rory, Bory Alice" 'The Sandman" "The Weath- erman," April Fool" "The Welsh Rarebit," ''The Jack of Hearts" and his parents, The King and Queen of Hearts" have been brought into ra- tional juxtaposition. They have been

supplied with things to do which make them extremely interest ing people. The comedy in "The Land of Nod' is of the spirited, wholesome kind which compels immoderate laughter, and the music is all of the popular sort which is enjoyed by all classes. The production as to scen-
 cry, costumes and other effects is
 massive and beautiful and the en- semble is unusually complete and ef- fective The sale of seats opens soon.

APOSTLES OF
 AMERICANISM
How T. V. PoWderly Figures Out That the Recent Financial Depression Has Been the Best Thing That Could Have Happened for the Country.

Pittsburg. Pa, Sept S.-"The re- cent business depression has been the best thing for the country in one
 sense that could have happened" said T. V. Powderly, chief of the Bu reau of Immigration, who was a La Dor Day orator here, in an interview. "I mean in the spread of American ideas in Europe because of it. The return to their old homes of thou sands of workmen because of the in- dustrial shutdown has meant that to almost every nook and corner of the world there has gone some apostle of Americanism whose precepts and practice. however humble and insig- nificant they may be, still cannot short the stay in this country of some of them has been they are bet ter for it. and it is safe to say they will not retrograde. Nehher can it be doubted that they will spread the influence of America wherever they go.
 "Will they come back? Undoubt- edly the most of them Those that remain will send their brothers or friends. to whom they will give the benefit of their experience. So that we, as well as Europe, will be the gainer.
 Do you know that were all the great mills and other industries of the country to start up tomorrow there would not be half enough men to do the work?
 Il am not afraid of immigration. We can take care of all the aliens that come, provided they are good ones, capable of developing into pro- per citizens. and We are seeing to it that none but the good ones come"

"The Almighty Dollar"

A recent headline, "iu!e of the l'" lar," has suggested the inquiry. VIZ originated the familiar phrase ",h almighty dollar:" It was Washin,,r. Irving in "The Creole Village" whivi he published in 1837. The phrase ''* came so popular and excited so mUc! controversy in consequence of q do"'a whether the adjective was irreveren' that its author had to explain eichtcei years later that he had intended "n' irreverence, even to the dollar. wh!t! he is we'll aware is becoming dai', more and more an object of worship Dollar" is certainly one of the world great words now. and 1t is difficult ie realize that it only means "valleyer the "thaler" having been named afte' the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, in whose valley 1t was first coined in the s's ,eenth century London Chronicle

A Few Don'ts For Workinamen.

Don't forget that organization in creases wages and shortens the work ing day, making work steadier.
 Don't condemn the labor movement because you know of objectionable features" Every man and every hu. man institution has some in1perfec. tions.

 Don't forget that the more bitterly the employer opposes labor snions the more the employee should support them. There's financial reason Think 1t over.

Doctor Said Consumption

MT. C. w. Weaver, of Bristol, Vt., who was told by his doctor that he had ozsly a short time to live, as he had consumption, takes Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which was rec commended by the doctor, gains v;gor and strength every day, and is in better health than he had been in years before taking it.
 In recent letter MT. Weaver writes:
 Two years ago my doctor told me l had consumption, that l could live but short time, recommending to me at the same time Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. l have taken it ever since according to directions. 1 feel better and stronger than l have for seven years past. Yes 1 heartily endorse Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey as cure for con- sumption"
