CHICACOAN TELLS
OF PLATFORM STAR
SAVED FROM DRINK
How the Neal Treatment Put an American
Brilliant on His Feet
Harry P. Harrison. Now in Los Angeles Tells of
One Redemption Wrought by the Neal Treat
ment Now Successfully Administered
at the Neal Institute in This City

One chapter of the life story of a
famous star of the American platform
remains unwritten-knoWn only to
those nearest to him.
1t is the story of brilliant man
whose usefulness became impaired by
excessive indulgence in drink.
With ruin staring him In the race ne
was saved in three days.
1T was through the marvellous agency
of the Neal Treatment that this bril-
liant entertainer was saved. Were his
name to be revealed the public would
recognize in a moment the nat1onai
fame of this man who is once more
himself
One day while drinking hard in Gin
cinnati this platform celebrity disap-
peared. No one knew where he mad
gone. His managers could not locate
him. Time passed and he was still
numbered with the missing. His
friends understood why he was "lost."
Some days later this famous American
found himself in Des Moines. How he
reached that Iowa city he himself could
not tell.
In his unkempt, unshaven condition
thousands who had applauded his Wit
and brilliancy could never have recog-
nized their favorite. 1t was in this
condition of pitiable collapsed wreck
from alcoholic poison-that he entered
the doors of the Neal Institute at Des
Moines, which Is the parent of Neal
Institute in Los Angeles.
Harry P. Harrison of Chicago, treas
urer of the Redpath- -Slayton Lyceum
Bureau, in speaking of this particular
case last night, said:
'This man-one of the brainiest and
brightest in the United States-was at
the time so bad that he had been un-
able for weeks to leave his room or
attend to any business. He returned to
his work within a week from the time
he went to Des Mcines, where he took
the Neal Treatment. He is wonder
fully changed, mentally, physically
and every other way. Now, after tne
lapse of six months, I confidently be-
lieve he is a permanently cured man" :"
The Neal Treatment, which saved
this platform star, is now administered
at the Neal Institute, which has Sc

Carleton. Already many marvellous re-
demptions from tho drink habit have
been accomplished at the institute.
The Neal Treatment consists of the
administration Of a perfectly harmless
and purely vegetable medicine taken
internally only and without any hypo-
dermic injections.
The treatment and the method of it's
administration are pronounced and
conceded by all who have investigated
to be not only ethical and professional,
but entirely satisfactory, and it's sure
ness and success in all cases have been
demonstrated and proved to the satis-
faction of all concerned.
The Neal Treatment Is simple yet
very effective. DR.. Neal, after many
years of the most painstaking profess
sional and thorough study. experiment
and investigation, ras found and dem
onstrated that the drink habit, instead
of being a disease or an inherited af-

in the system, coming from the con-

THE JUNGLE" WILL Be
STAGED IN LABOR TEMPLE
Direct SoCiaIistic Teachings of
SincIair'S Novel EIiminat-
ed from the Drama

Those who have read the book will
be surprised at the absence Of So
cialist doctrine from the play. "The
Jungle" which is to be presented next
week at Labor Temple auditorium by
a professional company headed by
Viola Barry. The novel abounds in
Socialist teachings; the drama con-
tains none. In their collaboration,
Upton Sinclair and Margaret Mayo
held themselves strictly to that rule
of dramatic writing that "a play may
suggest everything but assert moth
ing" Yet it is impossible that any
reasoning person can see the play and
not form the same conclusions en-
forced by the arguments IN the book.
In it are strongly contrasted two op-
posite social types-the idle man at
the top who is demoralized by his
wealth and the worker at the bottom
who is wrecked by poverty Freddy
Durham, the dissipated son of the
owner of Packington, and Jurgts, the
Lithuanian laborer, both sinking to
the same level of bestiality, are the
logical products of the capitalist sys-
tenn. And so are the others-the girls
at Henderson's who have chosen the
easiest way; the merciless Connors,
instrument of the exploiting class; the
starving family driven TO crime by
want; and Ona, the young mother
made desperate at the doctors refusal
to come to her dying child because she
has no money to pay him, deciding to
sell herself to Connors.
1t is evident the last act of the play
was written to please the childish taste
of the average audience, which de-
mands always the happy ending. Ona
does not die, as in the story, but is
discovered by Jurgis, after five years
separation, on the farm Of a big
hearted Socialist farmer, who has also
given a home to Maria, the Loyal
friend of the family, and her two
suitorS,

Consider Combination of Advant'
age to Organizations

1t was decided at meeting yesterday
of the committee appointed to consider
the merger of the Federation club and

The committee will report the result
of it's deliberations to the meeting OF
the council of the Church federation
next Monday, and following the amend
ment of the bylaws of both organiza-
tions and the introduction of the neces-
sary resolution, the combination will

MYSTERY OF A CHICKLESS
HENHOUSE is UNSOLVED
Baker Finds Sack of Poultry and
Takes 1t to Police

The mystery of the poultry-or who
stole the chickens-is the title of a
little one-act skit begun in an alley
way between Sacramento and LeGran
de streets and completed in the prop
erty clerks office at police headquar-
ters early yesterday.
Joe Hynes, who owns a bakery at
I'LL Santa Fe avenue, reported to the
police that while returning home short
ly before o'clock yesterday morning
he stumbled across a gunnysack in the
alleyway. Investigating, he found the
sack full of young, squawking chick
ems. Rather than leave the luckless
poultry to it's fate, Hynes loaded the
sack on a street car and took it to
the police station, where the chickens
were given into the custody of the
property clerk.
What disposition will be made of the
homeless birds has yet to be deter
mined. Meanwhile, they will rest in an
improvised coop in the property clerks
office, amid a motley collection of
clothing, beer bottles and numerous
unmentionables
The police lean to tho opinion that
there is a chiclkless hen house some
