The second and last week of the en-
gagement of May Robson begins at the
Van Ness theater tomorrow night. The
quaint coincidence has duplicated her
success of last year and play and star
are greeted by large audiences at every
performance.
Miss Robson stands at the head of
character condolences of the present
and her Interpretation of Anne War
ner's heroine is one of the clearest por-
traits ever sketched on the American
stage. She gives to the maiden lady a
lovableness of character and a sweet
ness of purpose that quite win the
audience. The play is very human and
very natural. The support accorded
Miss Robson is excellent, and the scenic
environment is adequate.
Beginning Monday night, April Is
Charles Frohnan will present a special
company in one of the greatest sue
cesses he has ever staged, The Thief 3"
The cast is headed by Herbert Kelsey
and Effie Shannon.

HOW | MADE
my HAIR GROW
Woman with MarVelOusly Beautiful
Hair Gives Simple Home Prescrip-
ton Which She Used with Most
Remarkable Results.

1 was greatly troubled with dandrufc
and falling hair. tried many adver-
tised hair preparations and various pre-
scriptions. but they all signaIy failed:
many of them made my hair greasy, so
that 1t was impossible to comb 1t or do
1t up properly. I think that many OF
the things I tried were positively in
furious, and from my own experiences
can not too strongly caution you
against using preparations containing
wood alcohol and other poisonous sub
stances. I believe they injure the roots
OF the hair. After my long list Of fail
ures | finally found a simple prescrip-
ton which I used with most remark
aole results, and I can unhesitatingly
state that il is beyond doubt the most
WONDERFUL thing for the hair I have
ever seen. Many of my friends have
also used it and obtained wonderful eff
reefs therefrom. 1t not only is a pow
er1ul stimulant to the growth of the
hair. and for restoring gray hair to its
natural color, but it is equally good for
removing dandrun. giving the hair life
and or1I1ancy, etc, and for the pur-
pose or keeping the scalp in first-claSs
condltlon; 1t also makes the hair much
easier to comb and arrange in nice
form. I have a friend who used it two
months, and during that time il not
only stopped the falling of his hair and
wonderfully increased it's growth. but
IL practically restored all his gray hair
TO its natural color. You can obtain
the ingredients for making this won
derful preparation from almost any
druggist. The prescription Is as fol-
lows:
Bay rum. ozs.: Menthol crystals.
one-half drachm; Lavona de Compose.
2 ozs-; To-Kalon perfume, I TO tea
spoonsful.
Apply night and morning; rub thor
oughly into the scalp.
Go to your druggist and ask for an
eight-ounce bottle containing six
ounces Of bay rum. also one-haIf drachm
OF MenthoI crystals. and for a two
ounce bottle of Lavona de Composee.
Mix the ingredients yourself in your
own home. Add the Mentho1 crystals
TO the bay rum and then pour Lavona
de Compose, and add the To-KaIon
perfume Let il stand for one-half
hour and it Is ready for use.
The demand for the above prescrip-
ton has become so great and there has
been so much difficulty in getting the
pure, unadulterated juice of the Ecua-
dor plant. which it contains, that a re-
liable chemical house has now under
taken its manufacture completes, and
the best druggists, as well as the dis
coverer herself, advise all purchasers
to use the complete product known as
Harriet Metals Gold Medal Hair Tonic,
which is put up by the To-Kalon Man
ufacturing Co, of Rue Auber, Paris
France. All druggists keep it or can
easily obtain IL for you A representa-
tive of the firm of Baer Drug Co. stated
yesterday that they had just secured a
supply Of the complete product.

DRY FARMING IN
SALT LAKE COUNTY
Pioneer of the Industry Har-
vests $50 Bushels of Potatoes
Per Acre This Year.

Dry farm potatoes. the finest you ever
saw. are grown in Salt Lake county. Not
only do they grow without irrigation. but
these potatoes Will keep for year and
be just as firm and mealy as when taken
from the ground.
On Monday ". II. Newman OF River
ton. Utah. and the pioteer OF dry farm
ing in this section OF Utah, brought TO
The Tribune Office a sample OF potatoes
grown upon his farm-a dry farm IL Is,
TOO. These potatoes are splendid speci-
ground. Last year Mr. Newman cropped
427 bushels. and this year despite the
long. hot. dry summer. he expects 500
bushels from two acres of ground.
The potatoes are known as the New
mark potatoes. This name was given
them at the State fair q year ago. when
Mr.. Newman made an exhibit OF stuff
grown upon his farm. The State fair
officials desired to name the tubers after
Mr.. Newman. but he was too modest,
hence the name Newmark.
Mr.. Newman has dry farm OF 500
acres. On this farm he grows an aver
age OF 81 bushels Of wheat per acre; 81
bushels Of oats: 30 bushels OF barley. and
he cuts two crops OF broom grass and
two crops Of lucerne every year.
When II comes TO raising vegetables.
Mr.. Newman has II all his own way.
Radishes mature three weeks after plant

While most dry farmers believe IN shall
low plowng, Mr.. Newman has farmed
after the method OF George L. Farrell.
the largest dry farmer In the Cache val
lev. and that Is TO plow deep: hence
when he turns over the ground upon his
farm The furrow is usually about eleven
inches deep He uses mold board ploH
in preference to disc plow. and he de-
clarcs that this enables him to produce
at least 1--WE bushels more per acre than
! if hc used disc. Half Of the cultivated
land upon his farm is always In fallow.
and the dust blanket which lie always
maintains over his growing crops Is
about two inches in depth
Last year Mr.. Newman planted over
| 600 peach trees. and up TO date he has
| only lost seven. In two years more. when
these peach trees mature in so far as

| to harvest AT least 900 bushels per acre.

ORIGIN Of FIRE
STILL A MYSTERY
Loss at Daniels Theater Blaze
About as Large as at First
Reported.
BUNGALOW HOTEL GUESTS
LOSE WEARING APPAREL
Heaviest Damage Is Done in
Theater Proper; Loss Not
Yet Adjusted.

The origin of the fire which Quilted
the Daniels theater early Monday
morning, and caused considerable dam
age to the Bungalow hotel, which occu-
pies the two top floors of the Daniels
building. is still mystery. 1t is the
opinion of officials of the FIRE depart
ment' that the flames originated in the
boiler room, located in the basement
beneath the theater, but as there was
no fire in the boiler at the time, this
theory is hard one to believe.
Early reports placed the loss to build
and a conservative estimate later will
not very materially reduce these fig
ures
The heaviest damage was done in
the theater proper The entire base.
mept beneath the playhouse was wiped
out by FIRE; half of the foor of the
auditorium was destroyed. including a
large section of seats; the south boxes
are in ruins and the interior is in bad
shape from smoke and water.
In the Daniels stores on either side
of the theater lobby, on the ground
floor, there was little loss through FIRE,
but heavy damage TO contents from
smoke and water. Upstairs. in the
Bungalow hotel. operated by Mrs. Kath-
crlne hlSey and Mrs. Nellie Campbell,
the loss is quite heavy, especially on
the third floor. where a number of
rooms were entirely burned out.
Damage Is Large.
The entire building will have TO be
practically rebuilt, and it is figured that
with the damage to the clothing and
furnishing stock in tho Daniels store
the aggregate loss will easily amount
to the conservative figures at first
given,
After spending several hours at the
FIRE, Max Daniels, who is the heaviest
loser, and who carried but little insur-
ance on his stock, cola psed, and had
to be taken to his home in a taxicab,
number of guests in the Bungalow
hotel suffered the loss of much of their
wearing apparel. and what was not
consumed by fire was ruined by the
dense smoke and the volumes of water
poured on the building by the fremen.
The Daniels block was patrolled by
policemen Monday. pending the adjust
most of the fire loss. Max Daniels has
made no plans, but expects to be able
to make an announcement SOON
