DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

With a chic and clever prima donna,
an actor as good as they make EN-
and q number Of haunting melodies,
"The Love Cure" which made its first
Appearance In the Detroit Opera
house, Thursday evening, is an agree
able dose. II has been much tOuted
as a companion piece 10 The Merry
Widow" Both are Henry ". Savage
productions and both have a dreamy
waltz refrain, but there the resem-
blancc ends.
"The Love Cure" is founded on an
old story, that of an actress attempt
ing to disillusionize a lover by exag.
gerated actions, but in this-paFtiealar
instance the story has many digres'
sions that are novel. Twas taken
from the viennese By Oliver Herlord.
and thoroughly ..AmericaniZed, In its
original form IL was known as "kuen-
stierblut" and was written by two
wefl-kncwn Vienna librettists, Leo
Stein and Karl Lindau. The charming
music was composed by Edmund Eys
Ter, also of Vienna. The score re-
qtlred an augmented orchestra, with
plenty of work for the harp IL Is
quite far above the average jinghng
diddle-dee-dee's of the usual musical
comedy. Mr. HEREFORD has supplied
some very witty lines, and when Mr..
Savage secured Charles j Ross TO say
them he had bit of managerial good
fortune. Mr. Ross, with his accustOn-
ed quickness, had a number OF local
witticisms to interpolate. The comedy
throughout was mostly travesty, in
which Mr.. Ross excels. and his per-
Torrance proved amusing and enjoy
able, as any wellrounded effort Is
bound to be.
Miss Elgie Bowen is what a gallery
god might call "a dead ringer lor
FRITZ Scheff. She speaks with Miss
Scheff's suspicion of an accent. her
tricks of stage business are similar
and she looks and acts as much Ike
"la petite diable FRITZ as one can
imagine. While imitation may be the
sincerest form of fiattery. Miss Bowen
does not need Miss Scheffs reputation
to aid her, despite the similarity OF
their work, for Miss Bowen is clever
er than the fiery FRITZ in many ways.
She has an excellent voice, nicely
trained, q pleasing personal appear
ance, lots of verve and Is a graceful
and agile dancer. She has good pow
ers OF mimicry and a gift for comedy
She made a decided hit with the
audience and was applauded 10 the
echo.
The cast is a good one throughout.
Craig Campbell, as the lover in the
case, disclosed a remarkably good
baritone voice. His singing. how ever,
is married by an injudicious use OF his
tones and indistinct articulation. but
the natural voice is there and a good

Long Automobile Trip.

Mary E. Libbey, and whose wife and
and son has been for some time visit
ing at the latter's home, arrived last
week from Gardiner, Maine. in his E.
NJ. F. touring car. He was accompa-
MED on the trip by friend, Mr.. c. O.
Turner.
The long trip Of 100 miles was made
in eleven days, all the travelling being
done in daylight, start being made at
about eight o'clock each, morning. The
trip was remarkable in their not be-
ing delayed at any time in their trip by
rain, encountering only one shower
and that before leaving the state of
Maine, at Portland. Mr.. Danforth ex-
poets to start on his return trip about
the first September and will be accom-
panied by his wife and son and Mrs.
Libbey.

Iowa Is Well, Thank You.


The sensational report has gone out
from Iowa that it's sanitary conditions
are 40 wretched that one-third Of it's
babies under one year old have died
since the hot, weather set in. To the
outside newspapers that are commiser-
ating with Iowa and lamenting this
alleged sad state of affairs, Iowa
might respond with paraphrase of
Mark Twain's famous bit Of wit and
say that the reports that Iows's babies
are dying are exaggerated
The fact is that there is no accurate
basis for the sensational story of an
alarming death rate among Iowa
babies. There are no statistics worth
the name available on which to base
any report as to the death rate of the
present summer season. The state
board of health gets monthly reports
of deaths, but the very latest figures it
has on births are for the year 1909; it
hasn't even an estimate worth while
on the births for the seven months of
the present year. So any statement
that the death rate in Iowa among
babes under one year old is 80 per
cent. or any per cent. is purely guess
work and guess work in such matters
is dangerous business.
Iowa has had much undesirable ad-
vertising because Of the appearance Of
infantile paralysis in few commun-
tiles, also. There is probably no more
of it now than there has been at other
times, only we are making more noise
about it because of the determined
efforts to discover its causes, and the

s.FoR THE PUBLIC HEALTH
Organization of Editors and Drug.
gists Covering Wide Territory
With Beneficial Results.

Our last issue contained an announce
ment of the organization of the Ameri-
can Drug and Press Association, the
membership of which consists exclu-
sively of newspaper men and druggists
throughout the united States, who
have undertaken to cope with the pre-
pared medicine situation, in the inter-
est of public health, realizing the many
inefficient preparations that have for
many years been sold to the public,
without giving them the benefit claim
ed for them.
We are pleased to state that the as
sociation has grown rapidly from the
beginning. Newspaper men and drug
gists have been quick to recognize the
fact that in this association lies the
solution of the ''patent medicine"
problem. The big patent medicine
houses have been built up unsuspect-
ingly by the newspapers and druggists
of the country, and now these same
professions propose to join hands for
the benefit of the public, in advertising
and selling preparations, the contents
of which they know, and the merits of
which they are confident.
A complete line of medicinal, anti
septic aud toilet preparations, and
many other items Of general use, are
being manufactured in the laboratories
of the association, from formulas
adopted by the association after the
most care full and conscientious investi-
cation, salected from hundreds of
formulas submitted by members of the
association in all parts of the country
There are no secrets-the ingredients
of every preparation are known to
every druggist who sells them, no pois-
onous or injurious drugs, nothing but
absolute purity,in every instance; some
thing which the public can place de-

pendence upon, being assured that they
will get the very best produced.
These goods are sold as reasonable
as it is possible to produce reliable pre-
parations. They are being made by
association labor, in the association
laboratories, purchased direct by the
druggists belonging to the association,
and sold without middlemen's profit.
These goods are not "cure-alls. -
There is specific remedy or prepara-
tion for each ailment or purpose in
tended, compounded especially for that
purpose. They are put up in beautiful,
attractive packages, full measure, with
the purity and quality guaranteed.

The hunting season is close at hand
and it is up to every one who hunts OF
