THE MISSOURI GIRL

"The Missouri Girl which comes to
the opera house Feb. 26, is a bright
rural comedy that pictures life in the
Ozark country in every detail. II
has strong moral which always
leaves a good impression. and bears
the proud distinction OF having the in
dorsement Of all the leading critics Of
things theatrical. as well Of the pulpit
throughout the country.
The comedy is clean, refined and ex-
ceedlngIy funny being the kind OF fun
that you are not ashamed to have your
wife. sister, mother or sweetheart see.
Mr.. Raymond has equipped the play
with the best Of accessories and has
spared no expense in making its pro
duction one worthy Of the patronage
accorded it.
The character of "zeke Dobson" is
a most unique conception. Among the
many impersonations Of the rural type
offered to the show-going public there
are but few limited cases where the
author ever attempted to portray this
interesting character as he is seen in
real life. The stage character of the
farmer is so thoroughly impressed on
our minds that 1t is almost impossible
for us to imagine a rural play with.
out the usual impossible characters
that are in many cases the serious
drawback to an otherwise good play,
"zeke' is a true portrayal Of an hon
est, bright, intellectual country boy.
He says and does only what is natur-
al, his dialect and actions are both
peculiar and droll. When in the city
he makes ludicrous mistakes and his
idea of "cily folk" and his remarks
about them are extremely comical, bul
at the same time true to life.

A COMMON COLD.

We claim that If catching cold could
te avoided some OF the most danger
GUS and fatal diseases would never be
heard of. A cold often forms a culture
bed for germs OF infectious diseases.
Consumption, pneumonia. diphtheria
end scarlet fever. four of the most dan.
gerous and fatal diseases. are OF this
class. The culture bed formed by the
cold favors the development OF the
germs Of these diseases, that would
not otherwise find lodgment. There Is
little danger. however. of any of these
diseases being contracted when good
expectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used.
It cleans out these culture beds that
favor the development of the germs
of these diseases. That is why this
remedy has proved so universally sue
cessful in preventing pneumonia. It
not only cures your cold quickly, but
min.mizes the risk Of contracting
these dangerous diseases. For sale

HOled Out and
Pulled the Hole
In After Them.

Up to about 1860 the Mammoth Cave
o. Kentucky was widely advertised by
its owner But tho owner died that
year and left the cave to thirteen heirs
scattered over the country. The lucky
thirteen devoted themselves to dreams
Of spending the big income which the
cave had been earning for many years
because It had been advertised. But
they forgot to keep up the advertising.
Now the cave is visited by compara-
lively few persons instead Of by many
thousands annually. as In the days
when It was ADVERTISED.
But the great cave conveys a lesson
to every business man. II you quit
advertising, your place will be ignored
by the public even more than Nam
moth Cave is ignored because you are
not even a natural curiosity.

The Crouch.

Out of that seat of learning, Chicago,
comes a bit of scientific assertion that
will interest all students of human ma
ture. A physician delivered a paper on
The Crouch before the local "Associa-
ton of Independent Doctors" He said
mat the man. with a crouch is an alb
normal being, his mentality warped and
possibly progressing in his popularity to
become mentally unbalanced The speak,
er did not go SO far as to say that
grouchiness is in itself form of insanity
save as any departure from the normal is
symptom of that aff1iction. The i'm
portant aspect of this new view of the
crouch is that in the judgment of this
medical man when man with a crouch
becomes Ill his mental condition tells
against him, and all physicians who are
students of psychology know that the
patient of morbid temperament is more
difficult to handle and to cure than the
optimistic or placid person.
If grouchiness is a symptom of abnor-
maHty there are good many people In
the world who are thus off the key This
is matter of habit. Some men think
that il is dignified to be ill-humored, that
they gain in impressiveness by being con-
stantly at cross purposes with most OF
those whom they meet AS a matter OF
fact II is never necessary to be ill-temper.

him.
Possibly If 1t is true that the crouch
has less chance OF recovery in case OF
illness than the man who looks at life
through bright-colored glasses a wild,

in correcting this mental slant. Tell a

The Cretan Puzzle.

If the people of Crete had no prefer
ences and were entirely willing to oe
treated as pawns in the game of world
notifies the powers of Europe might have
no difficulty in enforcing the Turkish
| claim of suzerainty over the island as
| they have undertaken to do. But unfor-
tunately for the International program
the great majority of the Cretans are
distinctly prot Greek in their sympathles,
being chiefly of the same race as the inhab-
itants Of the Aegean peninsula and 81 per
cent of the total population being of the
Christian faith. To compel these people
to submit to Turkish domination is not
only unjust, but is extremely difficult IN
addition.
To compIicate the situation the pro-
visional administrative committee, to
which the government of the island was
intrusted when the Cretan cabinet re-
signed Sunday. took the oath Of al
legiance of the king and kingdom of
Greece on Monday. If the Cretans were
left to themselves they would undoubt-
eddy be disposed to resist by force any ef-
fort on the part OF Turkey to establish a
directing representation at Canea. OF
course, the Cretans could not unaided
maintain themselves in independence;
even with the help of Greece 1t is to be
doubted whether they could resist the
Turkish authority, barring Intervention
by the powers. So that In one sense the
present activity of the powers may result
in a resistance of Turkeys claim of au-
thority.
Just what is to be gained by continu-
ing the fiction Of Turkeys authority over
Crete is somewhat of mystery to the
western mind 1t is obvious that if the
government at Constantinople were given
a free hand and permitted to establish an
actual directing control over Crete inces-
SAINT warfare would Be the result. To the
extent that a makeshift arrangement OBJ
viates this tragedy the scheme of inter-
national. control of protection is an adj
vantage. But the just way, the way of
fair dealing, would appear to be to give
the Cretans the kind of government they
want and relieve them Of the constant
menace Of Turkish domination and in
huence.
Probably the secret Of this course OF
procedure is that 1t suits the present pur-
poses of European statesmen to preserve
Crete as trading material in some unde-
fined future contingency. In this game
Of Mediterranean politics there is always
to be borne in mind the fact that each
Of the great powers has certain far-reach-
ing ambitions and also certain fears II
is the present policy Of England. France
and Russia to preserve the status quo in
southern Europe practically as it is to-

fluence. and each may be expected to re-
sist any movement that looks to a change
of relationship around the Mediterranean
shores in any degree

The Slum Problem.

Any information that may be gained
from the visiting senior magistrate OF
Glasgow regarding the Improvement OF
.. II unicipal conditions will doubtless be
carefully studied by the commissioners.
Mr.. Maxwell appears to have been deeply
interested In the question of slum re-
form and the provision of decent houses
for workingmen, question which is of
serious importance in this District today
in consequence of the development of the
. city more rapidly in some lines than in
others.
In Glasgow much progress has been
scored by the purchase by the municipal
ity of slum property. The city has util-
ICED these areas in a businesslike man.
ner. Wherever possible 1t has erected on
the sites business esta blishments or
warehouses, the rental of which has
been used for the acquisition of subur-
ban territory and the construction of
sanitary homes.
Such a program. of course. involves the
adoption of the municipal ownership
principle. which has played an important
part of the urban development in Eng
land and Scotland for some years past.
Whether american cities are prepared
to so as far as some of those in Europe
in this direction is question, but If the
municipal purchase of slum property ac-
cording to the Glasgow plan is the best
and surest solution of the problems of
housing the poor and of city sanitation,
there should be no hesitancy about
adopting it.
: In this connection the unwillingness of
property owners to improve their hold
iDpS * obstacle IN he
moved. The average slum square brings
in large percentage of rental owing to
the fact that practically no improve
ments are ever made, repairs are at a
minimum and taxes are low. If the
taxation could be graduated on a reverse
scale, the assessment being higher ac-
cording to the lack of sanitary improve
ments and lower in proportion to the
betterments, private enterprise in the
cure of the evils of the slums might be
expected. 1t may be that some such
system of penalizng the maintenance of
rookeries and encouraging the substitu-
ton of clean. decent dwellings would &C
complish the desired end without going
to the extent of municipal ownership.
But whether Washington adopts one
method or another. its slum problem re-
mains to be solved, and it will be the
hope of every progressive dweller in the
District that Congress will not continue
to procrastinafe in the consideration and
solution of this question, but that it will
take up the subject promptly at the next
session, not merely to pile up additions
to the library of information. but to
reach a conclusion and to enact a law
