ORPHEUM

The Howard troupe of trained
Shetlands and CANNES at the Or
pheum vaudeville theater this week
are causing somewhat of a sensa-
ton. for an act of this kind has
never received such a popular DEM
onstration Of approval. The act is
entirely different from the usual
trained animal act and contains
many features that are unique and
highly enjoyable. The dogs and
Ionies are so perfectly trained that
they go through their act without
break and with an accuracy and
freedom from slips that is aston
fishing. The animals have been
taught a lot of tricks new to ami.
nal acts, and the novelty of the
act appeals as much as its excel
leIce.
There are other excellent feat
ures on the bill, such as the splen-
did character representations of
Edwin Stevens, who takes Dickens
characters as his subject. The
acrobatic or athletic features fur
nished by Carmen troupe of wire
walkers and the Ferrells. trick and
sensational bicycle riders. are cx-
cellent.

Eczema Lodges in the{ kin
Not Blood Disease-Cured bv Oil
Of Wintergreen Compound


For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and
was enormously treated as such,
but now the best authorities agree
that eczema Is only a skin disease
and must be cured through the
skin. The eminent skin specialist
DR.. D. D. Dennis, first discovered
the eczema germ and his discovery
was quickly taken up in both Ger
many and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, DR..
Dennis compounded oil of winter
green, thymol, glycerine, etc. The
remedy is liquid, not a mere
salve, hence it sinks right into the
pores of the skin. Washing with
this oil of wintergreen compound
seems to take the itch away at
once; soon the scales drop away
and the disease disappears. The
prescription has now been used so
long as to have proven its absolute
merit and we do not hesitate to
express our confidence in D. D. D.

WOULD UNMASK A STAR
California Astronomer Trailing Ter
restial Truant That Has Been
Missing 50 Years.

BERKELEY, CAL. Oct. 49,
Lost, strayed or stolen-a star;
probably masquerading under an
assumed name. Reward to finder.
A. ]. champreaux, professor Of
astronomy at the C...sv.arsity of Cal
ifornia, Is after the reward, the
cap and gown Of the doctor of phi
losophy.
Champreaux has set himself to
find a star that has been lost for
SO years. To the layman his job
looks pretty much like trailing a
needle in a couple of haystacks,
but the professor is sure he will
succeed. He expects to turn the
trick with paper and pencil.
Aethra is the name of the heav-
emily truant. 1t is one of the 500
stars called asteroids by the as
tronomers. The tiny asteroid was
discovered a long time ago and
then forgotten. In 1873 when some
one happened to remember it, tele-
scopes were trained on the heav-
ems, but the search was fruitless.
The little star was swallowed up
in the borad cestial expanse.
Champreaux believes that the
star has been found and given an
other name, and he proposes to
compute the orbit of many of the
asteroids and find which one has
been masquerading with the orbit
rightfully belonging to Aethra.
Then he will tear off the mask
and restore the abashed Aethra to
science
