1.-THE EASIEST WAY"

In the course of a recent lecture be-
cisco. DR.. Richard Burton of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, taking. as his
theme The Modern Drama" spoke in
terms of the highest praise of The
Easiest Way" the remarkable play by
Eugene Walter the author of paid in
Full" in which David Belasco Will
present Frances Starr at the Barry
more next Tuesday and the Grand
Wednesday. What particularly COM
mended THE Easiest Way" to Dr.
Burton were the plays bigness. vital
ity and truth. Dr. Burton attributed
the prejudice existing among certain
English-speaking people against the
stage to the influence of Puritanism,
which in the 18th century was so
strong as to close all public theatres
for nearly 20 years. Only within the
last quarter of century has the thea
ire come into it's own in the matter of
appreciation. DR.. Burton did not hes
itate to declare that as all the best
DIOOu VI lilSI AZURE d lew years dsO
went into fiction, so now it is going
into plays, and as a result the minds
of people are turning more to appre-
citation and discrimination in the mat
ter of plays. The subject matter did
not determine the worth of the play,
DR.. Burton said, for it might be of the
mean, the petty and the squalid, but
if the master mind were back of the
subject matter, bringing out the worth
of even the meanest, as a part of the
scheme of life, 1t would be worth
while. "The Easiest, Way in which
Miss Frances Starr has achieved such
a brilliant success, has had an unusual
record. For one year and a half 1t
was played to crowded houses at the
Belasco theatre in New York, and this
success has been repeated in every city
where it has been seen. The Easiest
Way" depicts that aspect of New York
life which Is concerned with the trag-
edy of those women who are so we'd
ded to luxury that they will pay almost
any price for it's enjoyment. It's pro-
duction here will be exactly the same

MAxWELL-HALL STOCK CO.

The Maxwell-Hall Stock company,
which comes to the Illinois for a

day night, is said to be a somewhat
different company under a manage
ment observing changed methods from
the so-called week stand repertoire
companies. Managers Maxwell and
Hall state that their policy is to con
duct their business on the same bust
ness lines as any other commercial en-.
terprise and give TO the public just
what they advertise in way of plays,
producing them under their original
titles, following the original manu-
scripts, and not presenting old, worn
out plays that the public has seen time
after time under as many different
titles. They also state that they hold
the contracts for the exclusive produc-
ton of their plays. and also hold the
exclusive rights for the use of the
printing, advertising the plays under
their proper titles, thereby not mislead-
ing the public to believe it is 10 see

Miss Nobody From Starland,' open

concludes the engagement at the Chat

undoubtedly one of the most laughable

entertainment most beautifully staged
and mounted, with a company that for
snappy action and ability to sing and
dance is not often equalled on the
local stage. While the entire produc-

best hit is the second act, which rep

TYPHOID GERMS
EASY TO KILL
New York State Health Department
Instances Protection in Ice
and Water.

Instances Protection in Ice
and Water.
| The current conception OF typhoid
germs as something almost impossible
to destroy-as having most remarka-
| bic powers of resistance-is far from
true. Science has long known that
except in the places most favorable TO
their growth, they die quickly and
easily. Scientists and the public have
each, however, failed until recently to
see what importance the change of en-
vironment Is to germs and what a pro-
lection to mankind both ice and wa,
ter are.
Evidence Of the comparative ease
with which the dreaded typhoid bacilli
is destroyed when kept out Of its nor
NAL environment, is given IN a recent
bulletin Of the New York state depart
ment Of health The studies OF DR.. A
c. Houston, director of water examina-
tons, metropolitan water board, Lon
don, England, of the effect of storage
Of water undisturbed, on typhoid
germs. gave these results: Eighteen
separate portions OF water were in
fected with 100000 to 10000, 900
typhoid bacilli and bacterial counts
made every week until they had en-
tirely disappeared. In one of these
series Of tests. 10 portions OF water
failed to show any bacteria at the end
of three weeks, 16 showed none at the
end of four weeks, and in five weeks
time the whole Is portions failed to
show any signs Of the deadly germ.
| Most Of the water from which ma
tural ice is cut, is of as good quality or
better than the average town or city
water supply, and has practically no
| typhoid germs in it at all. In the case
of lakes and ponds, artificial or nat
ural, the water is quiescent for more
! than five weeks before the ice forms,
and so would be entirely free from ty-
phoid bacilli had any been there orig
| inally. Furthermore in the process OF
/ freezing, over 81 per cent Of the bac-
terra in water are removed If all the
water is not frozen, so that natural
/ ice is always from 81 to SO per cent
purer than the water on which il
! formed.
| Scientists Agree Natural Ice GermIess.
/ Many scientists now agree that DR..
| w. T. Sedgwick. professor of biology
in the Massachusetts institute of tech
nology, the highest meteorological au-
thority in the country, was right when
he said:
Many typhoid germs are killed by
freezing and after two weeks exposure
in the ice. upwards of 80 per cent die;
the remaining germs, while quite
hardy, gradually are weakened and
eventually die. AS a vehicle OF dis
ease, natural ice is plainly far less
dangerous to the public health than Is
either water or milk.
The deduction from this is that the
more natural ice used to keep milk
and water so cold that no germs will
thrive in them, the better for all who
drink milk or water.

BATTLE IN MEXICO
 PREDICTED FOR TODAY.
No Fighting Since Sunday Except a,
 Brush Between Scouts.

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 27, via Fl Paso, Tex.-Semi- official information today is that the endorsements which left here last week by train and began their march at San Antonio expected to join General Navarro at Pedernales today. Aside from a brush between scouting parties near Malpaso last Sunday. in which none was hurt, there has been no fighting; in fact. the fed erals profess to believe that the insur- rectos have deserted Malpaso. The federals, however, are not attempting to go through the pass.
 When the junction with Navarro is formed. the federals will have 2.000 men in the disaffected district west of here. Those best informed here pre- dict a battle tomorrow.
 Direct news from Oiinaga and vicin- ity is rare but the situation there is attracting increased attention. A Mexican coming direct from that place related a story of how forty vaqueros working on big ranch secured arms. They told their employer they had no weapons with which to defend them selves against the revolutionists. The employer. according to the story, gave each man a rife. whereupon they de- serted in body to join the insur- rectOS.

 The city is supplied by the Water vliot Hydraulic company, a private concern with headquarters at Bridge port Conn. It has shut off the supply and has only enough water in reserve ill case Oi fire.
 For several days the residents have been practically without water, and today the commandant at the arsenal obtained permission from Washington to use the government pumps to help fill the mains. Mill owners also have pressed their pumps into service But the supply is far from adecuate and householders in many parts of the city are unable to procure a drop of water
 The hydraulic company was de- nounced at tonight's meeting and it is possible that many suits will be brought against it.
