shaken before using. This is put on night

treatment may be changed and another
tonic made from one-quarter of an ounce
of violet ammonia, half pint of rectified
spirits a quarter of an ounce of SUBJ

OF canttlarides. two ounces and a half of
Slycerin, 0ne-quarter OF an ounce of
phosphate Of lime and one-half an ounce
OF tIncture of cichona substituted. If there
IS any eruption of the skin this cannot
be used. or. should it irritate half the

Miss Billie Burke, whose girlish charm stirred the veteran theatregoer out of his blase nonchalance last spring when she made her first star ring tour in Love Watches" is on tour again, this time in Mrs. Dot" the comedy by W. Somerset Vaughan in which she scored a hit at the Ly- ceum theatre, New York, shortly after Christmas and she comes to Jackson's on Friday evening next.
 Mrs. Dot'' is only the third play in which Miss Burke has appeared in America and she is already an insti- tution-think of it! There has been nothing like it in stage history. Other actresses have leaped suddenly and

unexpectedly into the full glare of the spot light, but very few of them have staid there. Miss Burke jumped right into the center of the theatregoers' hearts season before last when she was John Drew's leading woman in My Wife" and she has held her place there yer since.
 Mrs. Dot'' is the latest of the Vaughan plays to be presented in America. Like all his other pieces, it is a playful satire on society life in England. Here a wealthy young widow is the heroine. She's in love and she uses the prerogative of her youth and her beauty and her wealth to propose to the man she loves and he-refuses heri Why? The play ex- plains it. It also tells how Mrs. Dot

that's the widow-fnally wins the husband of her choice and, presum- ably lives happily ever after.
 ThefNew York critics have said that Miss Burke is even more charming as the widow in this piece than she was as the bride in Love Watches" That sounds like exaggeration as it is quite easy to believe that Miss Burke will make most fascinating widow In the supporting company are Julian L'Estrange, Fred Kerr, Basil Hallam, Kate Meek, Annie Es- mond and Ann Meredith.
