IN THE THEATRES
POI.I'S

The theatergoing public could ask for no better illustration of the fact that Manager Po1i is determined to give to his patrons the best that money can procure in the way of acts than the booking of Lillian Her1ein as the headline feature of next weeks bill at Polls.
 Those who remember the Lew Fields production of "The Rose Of Algeria will also remember that the hit of the production and in fact a hit that stood out strongly was the work of the prima donna who was none other than Lillian Herlein.
 When Manager Poli sought her for a vaudeville engagement prior to her return to Europe the scene of her former triunphs she signed condi- tional contracts and the condition was that she be allowed time to build an act that would stand head and shoul- ders over any other single act in the vaudevilles. With this in mind Miss Herlein invested thousands of dollars in gowns and electrical effects so that when he act is seen next week at at the goregousness of it all Miss Herlein sings four songs adapted to vaudeville and has four brilliant changes of costume.
 As a special feature of the bill Manager Poli will offer tHThe Barn Dance the latest musical comedy con- ceit from the pen of George Spink the brilliant actor author composer. The act utilizes twelve people and a great scenic investment and it is distinct hit at Pol's, New Haven, this week. Lola Merrill and Frank Otto will ap- pear in After the Shower vaude- villes daintest act
 This weeks bill headed by Billie Burkes Models of the Jardin de Paris is attracting and thoroughly amusing large audiences this week and on the same bill will! be found seven other high class acts.
 There will be a special matinee on Saturday for the children.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

When anything has burned in the double boiler, instead of replenishing cold water for the same effect Vaseline rubbed into the eyebrows will make them grow heavier and darker. For the same reason it should never be rubbed anywhere else on the face.
 To remove the odor of fish or onions from pans, wash in good studs, then place pan inverted over the flame of the gas range or put in hot over for a. few minutes.
 To warm over oysters left from pat ties, add a little milk and a little fresh seasoning and heat them in a small saucepan in a vessel of boiling wa ter.
 Cut couple of pieces about an inch long from an old garden hose and slip them over the fannets, and you will save many hicks in china and such things
 Bites of insects as well as summer rashes will cease to give pain if bath ed In borax water, and it is also quite efHcacious in curing burns. scalds and wounds.
 When without ice and desiring to make pies in warm weather, measure the required amount of lard and cold water and beat them together until the lard is cooled.
 Bicycle cement will repair holes in ice bags, but should not be used for hot water bottles. Nothing short of vulcanizfng will repair, the latter so as to resist the hot water.
 If you have not a fish kettle and strainer for boiling a fish whole, try the expedient of placing the fish on a plate and putting the plate and all on a piece of cheesecIoth.
 When the hands get hot .and un- comfortable moist it is a good idea to wash them in hot water and then rinse them in cold water to which a des- sertspoonfu1 of borax has been add ed.
 When milk is burned, pour it at once into pitcher and stand it in a basi13 of cold water until it is cool, when it will be found to be quite free from fine burned smell and taste.
 4 delicious salad is made bv 1ar ing large, sweet peaches. Cut a sec ton from the top of each and care fully remove the stone: fill the cavity with mayonnaise and serve in lattice cups.
 Never put tomato salad jelly to Iaar- den in a tin or iron vessel. The acid of the tomato acting on the tin gives a disagreeabIe taste, and the black pan is likely to leave rim around the mould.

COUNT BONFS VALET
 DOES BABY KISSING
Special from United Press.

Paris, April S.-Letting his valet do the baby-kissing and manufacturing is the latest wrinkle that Count Boni De Castellane has developed in his race for reelection to the chamber of depu- ties from the Basses-Alps district In southeastern France Bonis friends and enemies alike are today amazed at the stories regarding his candidacy in this district which is one of the poorest in France. The peasants of Basses-A1ps, for the most part, sleep on piles of hay: Hotels Hotels are so poor POO he was when Anna Gould's millions were at his disposal, carries his own bedding with him.
 As for shaking the rough, soiled hands of the voters and kissing their ill-kept babies, Boni declared rebellion. However, the job had to be done, so Boni hired a good-looking valet to keep up the infanti1e osculatfon end of the business and clasp warmly those hands in whose powerful grip Boni is afraid to trust his dainty hands.
 Boni is suffering further handi- cap because he has not the money to spend on his political aspirations that he once had.
