Suppression of Plays.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Your editorial in this mornings issue
OF The Washington Herald on the subject
Of the suppression of plays dealing in
immortality, filth, and vulgarity inclines
me to the belief that there is at least
one pen in the city Of Washington capa-
BILE and courageous enough-for IL appar-
emily requires courage where financial
results are threatened-to adopt and pro-
mulgate n sense OF the responsibility for
the general welfare, through the theater-
going public. that theatrical managers are
only too frequently disposed 10 ignore.
The purely mercenary object OF present
day dispensers of dramatic art I'm any
production has brought about a state Of
affairs upon the stage which. together
with the levelng of the superior talents
of the few and elevating the lowest To the
average plane. has developed a uniform
mediocrity in art and an Indifference In
morals and manners which is bearing its
fruit i'm the homes of the people
Few productions are raised above the
commonplace, fewer stiu incline to high
moral standards and. scanning the vast
area covered by theatrical productions Of
one sort or another, one searches vainly
for any actor or actress whose singular
ability entities them 20 that mantle which
adorned the shoulders OF the truly great
artists of an earlier generation.
I congratulate you on Tour fearless
condemnation more than once recently
| expressed Of that element OF depraved
taste catered To by certain local theaters.
Your paper should and doubtless will,
receive the most cordial support Of
every man and woman who loves the
pure and wholesome in dramatic art and
who realizes that the stage is even great
er than the pulpit in the lessons e has
20 teach Of al that IS good and noble
that touches. or may touch, our lives to-
| day. VICTORIA fsrDORA sIDDONS

Creeds and King.

Editor The Washington Herald:
l am sure you will, in the spirit OF
fairness. allow space in your valuable
paper for this article. even though It is
in criticism OF a statement in the fifth
column OF the first page OF Mondays
Herald. as follows: "All creeds joined in
prayers for the repose Of King Edwards
SOUL"
Now, as matter OF fact, "all creeds"
did no such thing Certainly. no Chris
ton Protestant believer did such thing,
for to offer prayers for the ''repose OF
the soul" is to admit Of an intermediate
place. called by some purgatory, into
which the departed spirit, at death en-
ters and remains an indefinite time be-
fore finding an eternal resting place in
either heaven or hell. as may be- later
on decided IN the supreme councils OF
the Almighty
l repeat, no minister OF a Christian
Protestant church could. without seri-
ousIy violating his conservation VOWS, Of
fer. or join in. prayer for the soul OF
q departed spirit, because there is no
such prayer set forth In any of the forms
of prayer authorized for the dead. and.
besides the canons of the church are
against IT,
While Il is known that some few min
listers Of the Episcopal Church have Of
fered such prayers, it is also known that
such ministers have acted outside Of their
authority ana by doing so must have
violated their ordination vows.
II appears that these ministers, con-
trary 70 the rubrics. have read a fu-

the point OF death by transposlng
from its true relation as a prayer for
the sick to one for the dead. as author
lied for such use. which it is not, and II
would be just as fitting" on such oc-
casion to use part of the marriage
service or Of infant baptism as 10 mis-
use such a prayer for the sick.
It seems 70 mo that a minister so
reckless Of his conservation or ordination
vows ought to be disciplined at once by
his bishop. and II persistent in his acts
Of insubordination. uufrocked.
Again. in England the established
church does not sanction prayers for the
dead; no requiem for the repose Of a
SOUL is permitted there by this church.
there being a canon expressly against a
belief in purEatory.
Indeed. il IS a historical fact that in
the reign Of Edward VI the English
prayer-book was expurgated OF all pray

Mix enough shortening into entire

Sprinkle with cinnamon and grated
nutmeg; then roll as for jelly cake,
wetting the outer edge with water
and pressing together, forming in a
ring and fastening the ends together
with water; with shears cut into
slices one-half inch thick, allowing
each slice to lap little on the previ-

tact when all are cut: let rise to dou-

History of Bed Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in
Boston in 1852 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use Of a stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year.
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losts movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,O00 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "a Million for
tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
in 1910"

Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my

"My heart became weak and uncer

me. Finally my physician told me-,
about q year ago, that I must stop
drinking coffee or I could never ex-

the directions, and what a delicious,
nourishing. rich drink 1t wasi Do you
know I found it very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
Almost Immediately atter I made
the change I found myself better, and
as the days went by I kept on improv-

Certain ribbons can stand washing

OF white soap and rinse through sew

cool water. Press out most of the
moisture between cloths and dry on
crock or press between linen cloths
while still damp.
Where it is proved that ribbon will
not wash without stiffening rinse
through gasoline or benzine several
times, then wipe dry with a piece OF
flannel and stretch until dry.
Ribbon betting can be stretched
tight on board or the edge of .
stationary washstand and scrubbed
with a clean nail brush and thick

Ribbons with picot edges must be

The salad knife and fork are sup
piled for a salad to be served as q
separate course. These are placed &C.

are usually supplied for the sweet
course-after table has been cleared

left. If forks only are called for, place
these at the right.

A rather new form which 1t will take
