I'm THE THEATRES;
POL.1'S

All sorts of theories have been adj
vanced as to how Lolo docs it, at
Polls this week but the more one goes
into the matter the more complicated
becomes the reasoning and the only
thing left is to let the other fellow
figure 1t out. Lolo's guardian Mr..
Cotton argues that it is mental sug-
Kestion pure and simple and when one
sees the performance the little Indian
girl gives enc is apt to coincide w tn
her guardian. The Fays had slips
ot paper passed about the audience
and Mrs. Fay sat on a chair on the
stage with a robe thrown over her.
Shortly after her appearance another
act came along and showed how it was
done and the Fays passed on. For

she is different to all the others. She

handed all sorts of cards, licenses,
deeds. wills, checks and addressed
envelopes as we'll as knives, scarf
pins. etc. To the simple question
What Is this?" VIII CHI is an argu-

Mrs. D. Gilkeson, 326 1ngles Ave,
Youngstown, Ohio, gained wisdom by
experience. My little girl had a
severe cold and coughed almost con-
tinuously. My sister recommended
Foley's Honey and Tar. The first
dose l gave her relieved the inf1am-
nation in her throat and after using
only one bottle her throat and lungs
were entirely free from infiamma ton.
Since then 1 always keep bottle of
Foley's Honey and Tar in the house.
