Crisp controlled what was known as the Georgia circuit A new actor was given a place in his stock company, and in making up the first playbill, the manager, not recall ing the new members name, set him down as MT.

The South and the East

''rhe comparison of the east and the
 south made recently by Dr. Albert Moses. the noted rabbi of Mobile, who attended the great Hebrew convention in New York, strikes me as being very interesting
 but not wholly accurate.'' said citizen.
 "Dr. Moses stated in an interview that
 so far as material things are concerned,
 our civilization is perhaps not so far
 advanced as that of the east, but in
 morality, culture, civility and the higher things of life we are so far superior that there Is no comparison. Commer- cialism and business absorb nearly all
 the energy of the average New Yorker.
 After business his time is given largely to
 idle pleasure
 \"I agree with Dr. Moses that we are not so far advanced in material things
 as the east, but I disagree as to the eff feet commercialism and business on cul- ture in general. The east at present is the center of culture in America. sim ply because 1t is the center of wealth.
 Need we ask why Humperdinck's Koen- igskinder' and Pussinis Girl of the
 Golden West had their premieres in New York? Need we inquire why New York has a monopoly of nearly everything that is worth while in the opera and the drama? A q am of the rabbi's opinion that we are superior in morality, civility and the higher things of life, but not in culture, | if a liberal patronage of art and let | ters is what he means by culture. That we are backward in this false culture | which money makes possible, I deem 8 | blessing Jack London, the socialist author, refers to the rotten denizens of the rot ten east and I think he is justified in using the term.

INSANE AFTER
WHIPPING AT POST

CENTREVILLE, Md. Dec. 4-The
whipping which Lawrence Singer, Of
near Templcville, received last week
for wife-beating. which punishment
his wife witnessed at his request, has
so preyed upon his mind that he is
at times a raving maniac. He is
still serving the prison portion of his
sentence in the county Jail, and one
day recently he became so unruly
that it was with difficulty that he was
handcuffed to the bars of his cell The
next day he again caused trouble and
was removed to the upper tier of the
jail.
Here he demolished every window
in reach. tore to pieces a cast-iron
stove and knocked several bushels of
plaster and concrete upon the heads
of the prisoners below him. On one
of the walls in his cell the man has
torn the plaster into two huge
crosses, before which he bows in
prayer the greater part of each night.

hair, dull. lifeless hair, or hair that
is falling out. is not necessarily a
sign of advancing age. for there are
thousands of elderly people with per-
feet heads of hair without a single
streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead
some good reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted 10 a.
once. Specialists say that one of thu
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea which our
grandparents used. The best prepara-
tion of this kind is Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation
OF domestic sage and sulphur, scien-
tifcally compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is cleaa
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. II refreshes dry. parched hair
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its nat
ural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur a..
once and see what a difference a few
days treatment will make in your
hair
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
