CIVIL WAR MELODRAMA
PLEASES COLUMBIA AUDIENCE.

"A Daughter of the South" a strong
military mellodrama, was the presenta-
ton last night of the Lewis and Hig-
gins stock company at the Columbia
Theatre. The capable manner in which
the different parts were played held
the big audience continuously inter-
ested. The play had a somewhat con-
ventional Civil War plot, the villain
with customary underhandedness seek
ing to betray the hero and steal away
the heroine. The romantic side of the
story was prettily played.

would not pull money out of his pock-
ct in the conventional way, but would
flash one of these sheets of money,
and after cutting it away from its
fellow with his pocket knife, he would
calmly take out his fountain pen and
sign it. He would then hand it to the
waiter or cashier to pay the check
with.
Every time he did this in restaurant
or cafe confusion and chaos reigned
in that particular locality. 1t was a
new thing, this signing of money on
the spot, and the waiter would be
pretty we'll puzzled about it, He
usually hurried to the cashier with
the wonderful tale of the man having
signed the money in his presence, and
the cashier would call in the propri-
etor. In some of the big restaurants
and hotels it almost took a meeting
of the board of directors to keep the
money in the house. Mr. Galloway
enjoyed the unique experience of
signing his own bills very much, but
the people he passed them on didn't
seem to relish the joke. 1t was too
near the money factory for them.

JAPS ARE GOING no
EAT MEAT HEREAFTER
Thinks This viii Add an Inch or Two
to Their Height.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. ia cable
received here states that meat has
been officially introduced as part OF
the japanese army diet, and as re-
suit the japanese board of agriculture
has sent commission abroad to in
vestigate and take steps for introduce
ing the breeding of cattle in Japan.
One reason for the change of diet is to
avert a repetition of the scourge OF
beri-beri which Slapped the strength
of the army during the Russian war,
and was said to have been due to the
rice diet, and another purpose is to
add to the stature of the race by
general introduction of meat eating. In
the Occident there is an increasing
conviction that meat diet has its pen
alties as well as it's benefits. If for
the extra inch or two of stature the
Japanese should be required to sacri-
flee any of that remarkable vitality
and endurance which characterizes
the race, the added height would be
dearly bought.

GIRLS, A JUDGE SAYS,
DRESS BY THE CLOCK
Takes half an Hour to
Adjust Three HairpinS.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Martin Huss was
fined 81 for keeping his automobile
chug-chugging for an hour while Mrs
George w. Lederer, wife of the the
atrical manager, went indoors to get
her pocketbook, complaint having
been made by w. T. Stewart, a mem
Der of whose household was ill., Mrs
Lederer testified she thought she only
kept the chauffeur waiting five min
utes.
That's just like a woman" said
Judge Grove. IF it takes woman
as long as that to get her pocketbook
before going to a theatre she ought
to stay at home"
Turning to Huss the judge said: I'll
takes woman quite a long time to
get ready to go to the theatre. You
might have known that and stopped
your engine.
Women take too much time in
dressing and primping," continued the
convenience it causes their husbands
friends and admirers. A woman has
| no regard for time; she will take half
an hour to adjust three hairpins.
I'll be ready in five minutes, is
her usual greeting to her escort. She
will then go upstairs and take an hour
fixing herself up. She fails to realize
that the man who is spending his
money to show her a good time may
have taxicab waiting for which he
is paying by the hour. Her slowness
causes the couple to get to their des-
tination late, and if it is the theatre
they have to pay high prices for seats
or take inferior ones. She will then
complain if her escort is in a bad hui
| mor-I don't blame him.
Even married women frequently
force their husbands to eat cold
meals by keeping the repast waiting
while they primp up.
Women should be made to dress by
the clock, the same as man works
They should run on schedule time"
After court adjourned Judge Grove
supplemented his remarks by saying
that if he had anything to do with the
styles all women's apparel would but
ton in front so that it could be easily
adjusted.

Why We Are stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter of fact we have ath-
Ietes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 16
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you live in a hot eli
mate buy Quaker Oats in Theoretically
sealed tins. 1t keeps sweet and fresh.

DOWN WILL COME THE
PRICE OF AEROPLANES
Everybody and His Wife
Will Soon Use Them.

New York, Sept. 16.-It is predict
ed that airships, as to price, will be-
fore long be within the reach of peo-
pie of small means Even now, when
flying machines are novelties, they
are not so high-priced as automo-
biles, The actual cost of the mono
plane, motor included, is said to be
about $500. BY duplicating the parts
in manufacture this will be greatly
reduced. 1t is a fair presumption that
within two or three years some of the
more popular fachines will be selling
as low as $3.50. Moreover, it is claim
ed by those who may speak with con-
siderable authority, that the manage
ment of these machines will not be
difficult. An ordinary person, it is
stated may learn how to handle a
monoplane or a biplane in a few
trials. When we recall the halcyon
days of the bicycIe-when we recall
the time when nearly everybody and
his wife and children rode a bicycle
We shall be able to form some idea of
what the sky will look like when
everybody, or nearly everybody, steers
an airship.
At the present moment there is
practically no legal means of regu-
lating the conduct of the aviator in
the air. Aviation has created new
condition, and this new condition
calls for new laws. Presently all
sorts of questions will arise in the
air that will have to be dealt with on
terra firma, and if they are to be
dealt with intelligently, consistently
and conclusiyely, in legal way, they
must be dealt with through legisla-
ton designed to meet the emergency
