Although the theater will be devoted to
the presentation Of dTamas-musical come
dies, spectacles and the like having no place
in its repertoire-light opera will be given
twenty evening and twenty matinee per-
formanoes during the winter Announce
ment concerning this departure will be
made by Mr.. Andreas DIPPED of the Metro
politan opera house, under whose direction
the operas will be presented by members
of the Metropolitan company. The idea
that the New theatcr's repertoire is to con-
sist mainly of standard, or so-called class
zeal" works, and that the institution is in
tended primarily for the amusement Of a
small, social set, or that it's plays are to
be mainly Advanced 'faddish,'' and
literary, is not founded upon fact. The
theater will make its appeal, and depend
for its success, Upon the whole body of in
telligent playgoers. In truth, it is hoped
to make this institution as distinctly demo-
cratic and civic as is the Coincide Fran
caise. This statement is borne out by
the fact that but one-third of the roper
toire consists of so-called standard" or
classic" works. while the rest comprises
brisk. wholesome comedies and popular
plays. In making the selections Director
Ames has striven to keep abreast Of all
worthy dramatic movements at home and
abroad, as 1t is the belief OF the directorate
that the cardinal function Of the drama
is to entertain. In other words, The New
theater Is not to be made a school for the
select few, wherein a dull or tedious play
of merit will be kept upon the stage for
the purpose of instructing its patrons, but
a playhouse for the public at large. The
standard works TO be presented nave been
drawn from a field so extensive thai a
suitable selection was not difficult and
they as we'll as modern plays will continue
in the repertoire only for as long or short
periods as their worth and popularity war
rant. This in the only system under which
the run Of a play favored by the patrons
can be continued without postponing the
production Of a drama which may appeal
to a smaller number OF ~playgoers.

STOMACH DISTRESS.
And all Misery from Indigestion
Vaaishes Five Minutes Later.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of indi-
gestion or stomach trouble at any time
day or night.
This harmless PREPARATION will digest
anything you eat and overcome sour
stomach five minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you
or lays like lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn, that
is sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Papes Diapepsin and take one
triangle after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belchings of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullcess or
heavy feeling in the stomach, nausea,
facilitating headaches, dizziness or in
ternal gripping. This will all go, and be
sides, there will be no sour food left
breath with nauseous oders.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
all stomach misery, because it will take
hold of your food and digest it just the
same as if your stomach wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your pharmacist
waiting for you.
These large 50cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure case of
dyspepsia or Indigestion.

The fruit tree exemption should be

they may have that much encourage
ment to put out fruit trees. II the
people Of this county are interested in
the growing of forest trees they should
ask their legislator to have the forest
tree reservation part amended so that
existing forest tree reservations might
be pastured SO long as they contained
200 original trees of ten or more years

MAY ESCAPE TAXATION.
BY Planting Fruit or Forest Trees
On Land.

The last general assembly enacted a
measure to encourage the people of the
state Of Iowa to grow trees both fruit
and forest trees. This is one of the
Roosevelt ideas you know and the legis-
lature got in with him and put the state
of Iowa in the lead for conserving the
forests of the nation.
Chapter 81 enacted by the last legis-
lature provided that if you have tim
Der lot on your land of at least two
acres in continuous area you may have
it reserved" and that it will be assess
ed in that event at only one dollar per
acre and that it may continue as such
so long as you keep the cattle, horses,
mules, sheep, goats and hogs out of it.
reservation shall have at least two
hund' ed trees per acre and that they
shall not be willows, box elders, soft
maple, cotton wood and other poplars
except that box elder and soft maple
may be used as nurse trees in a young
forest reservation.
If you wish to see the statute il, full
get 1907 supplement to the code and
turn to page 1913 and read section 400
c-d-e-f-g-h-ij-k-l-m.n-o. You will then
be fully informed as to the provisions
The fruit tree reservation may be one
acre in area and not more than five and
may not be exempt from taxation iol
more than eight years, but no farm
buildings may be included in the reser.
walton. You may use the fruit tree
reservation for chicken lot but not
for any other purpose except for po
tatoes or hay, etc.
We do not believe this statute will
greatly encourage the growing of forest
trees as the grass in all the forest area
of this county is worth more than the
taxes would amount to in any year
