A PLAY OF DRAMATIC INTEREST.
Joseph n. Weber's 1.-THE Climax" One
of the Big Hits of the Theatrical

One of tho most important attrac-'
tions in either the dramatic or mu-
steal line that will be seen here this
season will be Joseph NJ. Weber's
brilliant Now York success THE Gil
max by Edward Locke, incidental
music by Joseph Carl Breil, which is
announced as one of the seasons at

the most artistic, the most interesting,
and the most delightful in points of
construction, dialogue and development
of character. The play proved to be
the real dramatic surprise of the sea
son, scoring an unprecedented success
at Weber's theater where it is now at
tracing large and enthusiastic audi
ences. Acton Davies, the dramatic
critic of 1.-THE New York SUM-" had

With the Small Farmer
Nutritive Substances in Hay

, have a large amount of nutritious
leaves often lose considerable portion
of them on account of poor methods OF
curing. Alfalfa hay cured under ordi-
nary conditions will lose from Is to 20
per cent of it's leaves. The loss may
amount to from so to co. per cent.
Alfalfa hay which has lost the greater
part of its leaves and consists mostly
of stems is often found in the market:
consequently it is only about half as
valuable for feeding purposes as when
the greater percentage of the leaves is
saved
The Colorado Agricultural Expert
ment station found that when alfalfa
hay was exposed in the field for fifteen
days. during which time it was sub
jected to three rains, amounting to 1.76
inches the damaged hay contained but
II per cent of protein as compared
with 1877 per cent originally.
In an experiment to determine the
loss due to rain, part of a field of grass
hay was left in the cock and part in
the swath during a rainy spell of IS
days duration. At the end of this time
the hay in the swath lost 1873 per cent
of it's digestible protein. while that in
the cock lost only 1913 per cent The
total nutrients lost in the sWath We're
twice as great as those lost in the cock.
This experiment shows that the value
of hay cured during unfavorable
weather depends a great deal upon the
manner or system used in curing hay.
Such things as these are of the utmost
importance to the feeder So far as it
is possible to determine from an exam
ination of the hay. the price paid should
depend on it's value for feeding pur
late the producer to make every effort
to cure his hay so as to get the best
better grades it would tend to discour-
age the production of low grade hay.
Although there is no way Of de-
termining aroma, this quality of hay
adds greatly to it's feeding value, or
rather it's palatability. The writer
knows one hay grower who has made
quite a reputation on account of the
aroma of his hay, and for this reason
it outsells that of his neighbors every

Continued From Yesterday
Palatability may depend largely on
the time the hay is cut and on the
method of curing. Redtop may be
cited as an example. 1t is quite gem
orally true that in most markets feed
ers discriminate severely against red
top whenever it is found mixed with
any other kind Of hay. They claim
that redtOp has no feeding value and
that horses will not eat it. The point
that the feeder overlooks is that when
redtop is cut too late it has bitter
taste is not palatable. and horses do
not relish it, but if cut early it has a
sweet taste, is very palatable, and is
more nutritious than timothy hay.
When buying timothy thai contains
redtOp, feeders should examine care
fully in order to see if the redtop was
cut early and properly cured. If it is
properly cut and cured it does not
lower the quality or feeding value of
the timothy, but if found to have been
cut late then the bid should be lowered
accordingly 1t is very seldom that
redtop is cut at the proper time, and
it is safe to say that not over One-klalr
of the crop is cut early enough.
Again, there are kinds of hay that
when first fed appear to lack palata-
bility, but after the horse has acquired
a taste for the hay he does very we'll
on it. On the other hand, some kinds
are eaten greedily when fed for the
first time, Alfalfa is a hay that is
usually very palatable when first fed.
In. fact. for horses palatability may be
an objection in some cases. Many
horse feeders have tried alfalfa and
are of the opinion that it is of no
value for horses
Upon careful inquiry it has been
found that in "a large percentage of the
cases where serious results were ex-
perlonceQ from IeeulnS dlIdlId IL was
on account of ignorance as to the nu-
tritive value of the hay Unwise use,
such as feeding in too large guam
titles, has led many to become preju-
diced against it. If alfalfa hay is
properly fed it will be found one of
the most valuable feeds. especially for
heavy draft horses
The digestiblity of the nutrients of
hay is another factor that is important
in determining it's value. If only
small part of the nutrients is digestible
or if a part has been lost by faulty
methods of haymaking, then the feed
ing value is lowered correspondingly.
The digestibility may be lowered and
the total amount of nutrients lessened
by improper curing and handling of
the hay.
Plants like clover and alfalfa which

The unsightly ring that encircles
the throat of so manys women is not
always burnt by the sun, although it's
presence is usually attributed to that
cause. Very often it is ring made by
the constant friction of high boned
collar and the consequent discoloration
of the skin. But whatever it's cause it
is perfectly certain that the throat
showing no vestige of ring is de-
cidedly rare, so rare that the white
throat has come to be considered a
mark of beauty.
Why is this. when the ring may be
so easily removed? This is a question
that | can ask, but, alas, I know that
will tell you how to remove it, and
advise you all to begin treatment at
once, so that when the winter months
come and you don semi-dressy open
neck frocks you will not be ashamed
of the appearance of your throat.
Every evening wash the neck thor
oughly with warm water, to which a
few drops of benzOin have been added.
This will clean all the surface soil
away, and it will also soften the skin
so it will be susceptible to treatment.
The benzoin softens and bleaches.
After this trea tment the ring may be
red and perhaps a little sore, but this
feeling you may soon Danish if hama
mela is mOpped on with absorbent
cotton This also is a bleach, and the
ring cannot long withstand its sooth-
ing and whitening qualities.

Exchange
Some Social Customs


The table at reception is never used
to rest ones plate upon while eating.
1t is only there so that the food may
be conveniently within reach and so
the guests may put their plates upon
it when they are finished The maids
must watch for this and remove them
promptly, for soiled plates should new
er be in evidence
If the hostess will have caterer and
leave all these details to him, she will
feel far more comfortable. If she wish
es maids, and more than fifty guests
are expected, she should arrange for
one maid to remain in the dining room
and direct two others These may re-
move soiled dishes and bring clean ones
continuously The maid in the room
Will prevent any confusion.
At receptions there should always be
either maid, boy or man to stand at
the front door He should open the
door as soon as people arrive, to pre-
vent the changing of the bell, and he
should hold a salver in his hand to
receive the cards. He also directs the
arriving guests to the dressing room.
If there are many carriages expected
man should be stationed in the street
to tell the coachnen where to wait and
to call them when they are required
for departure. A man trained for this
purpose may be found at almost any
livery stable of a city. The man to
stand at the front door should be pro-
vded by the caterer
Upstairs two rooms should be set
apart for dressing rooms, one for the
men, another for the women. 1t is !
customary to have no attendant in the !
room, but there should al |
ways be maid in the women's room /
to help when wraps must be removed |
The men usually leave hats and over |
coats upstairs. Women leave their i
heavy outer wraps, if they prefer, but !
they wear their hats and gloves down |
to the reception room.
At the appointed hour the hostess and
those invited to receive with her take !
is customary for the hostess to stand !
at the right of the door. SO the enter i
position, too, enables the hostess to !
hove these who are receiving with her !;
on her right; then she may easily offer
her right hand to the approaching !
guest and pass him along as it were, |
with an introduction. During the ar
rival of the first few guests. however, |
it is better to fOrsake the formal posi- |
ton and to group in the center of the |
room. Then the first arrivals need not |
feel that they are unwelcOme, and the /,
time may pass in pleasant conversation |
until the rush of guests begins. The |
hostess must on no account leave the |
room, and if she is not standing by the !
door. she must constantly watch it, so
that she may step forward to welcome |
any new arrival
After the first guest appears the wise
hostess will dismiss the dining room
and all her other arrangements from
ergies on being pleasant and tactful.
1t is rather like playing ten-pins. Once
the ball is set rolling nothing may stop
it, and one might as well smile and
allow it to roll smoothly along, trust
ing that the aim was good

social position than the inexperienced
hostess When others may get some
yicarious pleasure from their own en-
tertainments, they are to her agoniz-
ing. She is usually too worried to no
tice anything. right or wrong, and,
therefore. takes the wrong for granted.
She is too anxious about her guests to
know who has come and who has not,
and in anticipation of the event she
has fused so much that she is really
too tired to receive even the first ar
rival Her position is most certainly
very uncomfortable. and she suffers
for her ignorance to the fullest extent.
1t is a pity that women ineXperi
enced in entertaining do not appoint, as
major domo, some one who really
knows and then relinquish all respon-
sibilty. There are many in this big
land of ours who do not need to econ
omize at all, yet they are unwilling to
invest their authority elsewhere.
The ideal hostess is never hurried
or Hurried; she is restfui, and cool and
possesses all her wits When Mrs.
Jones arrives she knows exactly what
to say and how to say it. When Mr..
Robinson shakes hands with her sne
will know which of her guests he will
wish to see, and she will casually men
ton in which corner they may be
found. She knows that no arriving
guest must be neglected and that the
proper salutation must be given each.
Further, when our hostess tells Mr.
Robinson where to find his friends, or
when she makes the appropriate re-
mark TO Mrs Jones. she neither gig
giles nor gushes.
Gushing, by the way, is a very Ill
eXcusable habit and one that should |
be strenuOusly avoided. Only very
nervous and inexperienced women
adopt this method of trying to make |!
themselves agreeable, and with it they !
defeat their own ends. The most at |,
tractive women are those who are qui- !
ct and dignified, not overly enthu- |
siastic. The hostess may make her
welcome more acceptable by express
ing genuine pleasure than by employ |
ing affected Establishments and COM
pliments
For the Inexperienced hostess, either |
the older woman who has never for
mally entertained or the young bride |
who has just started housekeeping,
there are a few points that I woulu
like to explain, for l think they will
prove helpful
In the first place. she would be wise
to try her hand at entertaining at
large tea. She need then only put the
serving Of the usual things in the hands
of a capable caterer, or she may have
her own maid lay the sandwiches. cakes
and ices upon the table with the tea
things at one end. The hostess usually
invites some friend or relative to pour.
in which case the maid need only see
that the teapot and the dishes which
hold the eatables are kept filled and
that the soiled plates are removed
There should also be plates, spoons,
forks. napkins and glasses for the ices
upon the table and then the guests may
help themselves. At such an entertain
ment the guests are expected either to
stand around the dining room and hall
ways or to find chairs as best thew may
wherever they are placed against the

WASHINGTON December 9.-Mrs.
Carrie Nation, champion saloon smash

District Police Court this morning for
the fifth time in her career, charged
with disorderly conduct and with des-
troying about $35 worth of property
in the bar at the Union saloon. Upon
the request of her attorney, Matthew
E. O'Brien, Judge Mullowny continued
the case until next Monday. Mr..
OBrien said that he wished to enter
a special plea and that he desired time
to talk the case over with his client.
He said later that he did not believe
that the District court had jurisdiction
in the matter, and that it should go
before the United States court, indicat-
ing that he would make such plea
Mrs Nation was held in $1,000 bond.
Mrs. Nation let her attorney have
his say before the court, but she de-
