BARGAIN NIGHT AT
 THIRD AVE. THEATER
Free Ticket For a Lady With Every
 Fifty Cent Seat Sold.

Tonight is bargain night at the Third Avenue theater. The manage ment has decided that every man purchasing a 50 cent ticket is en- titled to pass a lady in free. Tonight only, so readers should not forget. A man may pay his own way and take his best girl and it won't cost a cent for her ticket
 Judging from the number of peo- ple in attendance last night, "A Woman's Temptation" is proving very popular There was plenty of ap- plause to attest the audience enjoy ment and plenty of action on the stage as a reason for its apprecia- tion.
 It is really remarkable, when all the work is considered how well the Streeter- Bryan company presents its plays. When one bill a week is con- sidered difficult, for the average stock company, think what two bills must mean! There are the numberless re- hearsals lasting oft-times until time for the evening CT afternoon per- formanee; the costumes must be se- lected and make up tried, and most important of all is the learning of the lines. One part is being played while another one is rehearsed, and frequently a third is being run over to get the sense of it" The actors
 
 is not the dream of delight it is so often pictured. So now, A Woman's Temptation" is the bill, yet every one in the cast is working hard on The Thiefs Wife" which is to be put on Thursday night. This is said to be particularly good and will be doubly interesting from the fact that the new leading juvenile makes his bow to a Phoenix audience He Is reported as good looking as he is clever, so the matinee girls will be interested.
 Tonight will be the last appearance of Eddie Hall, who has been with the company for many months and has made many friends. Mir. Hall goes to Fresno, Cal, to the Empire theat- CT where he played for two years and was a general favorite. He has done some excellent work while a member of the Streeter- Bryan ag- gregation, probably his best being the character part of the "dago" organ grinder "Conte" in The Lawyer and the Singing Girl" Another good bit was Jack Merry in the Princess of Patches" a role utterly dissimilar, !, yet really good. He will be missed by both the patrons of the theater and the members of the company

NO MEDICINE But a Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that drugs are not the thing to rebuild worn out nerves, but proper food is required.
 There is a certain element in the cereals, wheat. barley. etc. which is grown there by nature for food to brain and nerve tissue. This is the phosphate of potash, of which Grape Nuts food contains a large propor- ton.
 elements in the two cereals, wheat and barley are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find in Grape Nuts a true nerve and brain food
 T can say that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve renewer, writes a Wis bride:
 "A few years ago, before my mar riage, I was a bookkeeper in a large firm. I became so nervous toward the end of each week that it seemed I must give up my position. which could not afford to do.
 Mother purchased some Grape Nuts and we found it not only de- licious but I noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally realized I was not nervous any more.
 T have recommended it to friends as a brain and nerve food, never having found it's equal. I owe much to Grape Nuts as it saved me from a nervous collapse, and enabled me to retain my position"

 Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

CARRIE JACOBS BOND {. AT SCHOOL OF MUSIC
The Author of Hundred Popular Songs Will Sing Some of Them To- nqht.

The same man who discovered Al
 bert chevallier, that incompatible en- tertainer, and put him on the stage, where his varied talents have delight
 ed the public for many years, happened to hear Carrie Jacobs Bond sing her little songs of sentiment and tell her homely stories with their touches of human interest When he met Mrs. Bond he said to her that she had two more talents than Chevallier It is under his management that Mrs. Bond made plans to tour Europe the com ing year
 Perhaps one of the most difficult things to do in the way of an enter thinment is to tell a story, without singing 1t, and at the same time to play an accompaniment on the piano. The meter of the story and the time
 of the accompaniment may not be the
 same, but Mrs. Bond makes the two
 harmonize in a delightful way.
 Another part of her entertainment is the singing of her own songs-songs
 that have been sold all over the coun-
 try by the thousands. Two of them
 which have reached the 100000 mark are Just A-Wearyin' for You and
 T Love You Truly" She has written several hundred other songs, many of
 which are now being sung on the stage and concert platform. Mime. Schuman-
 Heink invariably has one or more of them on her program, favorite with
 her being Ills Lullaby" David Bis
 pham the greatest interpreter of her songs. sings a cycle called Love and
 Sorrow" Theresa Vaughn and Jessie Bartlet Davis have made popular sue cesses of other of her songs.
 Mrs. Bond was seen last night by representative of The Republican. In order to illustrate her method of song interpretation she sat down to the piano and sang one of her little dialect darky songs. It was called 'Doan, Yo, Lis'n." It Is the sort of

And There Is Really But Small Need of the Pack Merchant These Days.

The need of a higher peddler's h- cense, one that shall be practically prohibitive, is expressed by a large element of the business people of the city of Phoenix and no doubt the same sentiment exists the territory over A vast amount of merchandise is dis posed of by means of the pack, more than most people are aware of There was a time in this country when the pack peddler was a convenience rath- CT than an evil; when the stores were few and far between, and their stocks were mainly of staple and heavy lines; and when the peddler devoted himself for the most part to the vending of notions and small wares and novelties that were not kept on sale in many regular stores.
 But in these days about everything that is manufactured can be found in the store of some merchant in almost any town, and the merchants are the tax-paying class, those on whom the expenses of government fall most heavily. It would not be so bad if the peddlers confined their activities to the novelty lines as they once did, but in these days they sell almost everything, being practically retail Orummers. carrying no stock, but fill ing orders from larger houses by mail or express, cutting in on local trade, and dividing no profits with local gov ernment or for the benefit of public welfare.

It is the sug gestion of the merchants that if the license for peddlers is not to be pro hibitive, it should at least be high enough to return a revenue propor- tionate to the amount of goods sold, that the peddler may be put on some thing near an equitable basis with the merchant in the matter of business ex- pense.

4 NOTED PREACHER
 COMING ID PHOENIX
Rev. A. C. Dixon Will Hold a Series of Revival Services at the Baptist Church.

Plans have finally been perfected by the First Baptist church for a series of eYangelistic meetings under the direction of Rev. A. C. Dixon of Chicago. beginning on Wednesday, February 17th. The week day meet ings will be held in the Baptist church and the Sunday services in the Elks theater. Dr. Dixon comes from a famous family of southern preachers and authors. His father and two of his brothers have all been prominent in the Baptist ministry in the south and also in New York and New England. Thomas Dixon, better known as the author of "The Deopard's Spots,' The Clansman" and other books, and Rev. Frank Dixon, now a popular lecturer in the east, have made for themselves a wide reputation for intellectual and pulpit power MT. Dixon is a typical Carolinian, tall, alert, with kindly eyes and a most eloquent tongue. Southern people will at once rec ognize that his type of pulpit elo- quence was not born in the cold re- gions of the north, but belongs pre- eminently to the Sunny South" Dr. Dixon is the evangelist of the family and has been wonderfully successful for many years in this kind of work, taken up in connection with his work as pastor in South Carolina, Mary land, New York and Massachusetts. For several years he was in charge of the Ruggles Street Baptist church, Boston. one of the foremost and most successful institutional churches in the country. He is now pastor of the Moody church. Chicago, as suc- cessor to Rev. Dr. Torrey, the world famous evangelist. Dr. Dixon stands easily in the front rank of platform speakers and his coming to Phoenix bids fair to be an event in it's relig- ious history.
