DAVE LEWIS PLAY
He Tells How 1t saved a Mans

Dave Lewis, who appears at the Grand

about ten years ago in The Telephone
Girl. He played the lead. Hans Nix,
the part in which he made his hit.
He told an interesting history of how
Don't Lie to Your Wife was written.

by the way, I have just received a let

other play. The Buffers Baby But as
to the play The author was working
on a New York paper and had some
leisure time to himself. Part of the
time he visited an uncle who was con-
fined in a hospital in New York. While
the old gentleman slept he would work
on the play and then read II to him
when he woke up.
1.-The pot made the uncle laugh and
cheered him up so much that he began
to improve. although doctors had given
him up. He finally recovered and l

enced howlcd. So did Mr.. Lewis-in-
wardly.
The audience which saw Dave Lewis
in Campbell Cascades Don't Lie to
Your Wife" at the Grand last night
appeared to like it. Anyway those
present seemed determined to get their
81 so worth of laughs. Mr. Lewis was
funny as Amos Doppledae. the trained
husband. His trainer, Mrs. D.. the
part assumed by Miss Miriam Shelby,
also made 'em laugh. The married
men in the audience seemed to think
she was realistic boss-wife- The
three chorus girls and the servant
girl were exceptionally clever 1t is
said that Miss Virginia Stuart, who
takes this small part of servant girl
couldn't be cOaXed to go with the COM
pany for less than 800 a week, but she
earns it. Her part is minor one but
she is Vivacious and her voice has a
long distance range which is more
than can be said of some of the others
of the cast.
Lewis is clever and would be worth
seeing alone. The play is full of action
and interest and a much poorer COM
pany could not have made it a tiresome
play with such plot. Lewis has been
seen in Topeka as Hans Nix in The
Telephone Girl.
Briefly, two husbands and and en-
gagged man take a joy ride and meet
three chorus girls on night while the
husbands wives and the Y Ms
fiancee are at Atlantic City They are
arrested for speeding, let off with
bride. but the husband while intoxi-
Gated invites the c. G.'s to supper at
his home. A press agent for the thea
ter where the c. G-'s are employed
helps to cOmplicate matters as we'll as
the three women who are also arrested
for scorching, give bride, but after
ward bet on a horse race. The play
closes with a wise reflection on the
part of the husbands trainer that she
has nothing on him when it comes 10
not keeping to the straight and mar
row path and the end of the play leaves
a delightful taste in the mouth.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

There is a certain subtle element in
the question of what causes the high
er cost of living which, it strikes me,
has been strangely neglected in all
our innumerable pow-WOws on the
subject.
And that is the jar-package-c can as
pect of the case.
1t seems to me that the present age
of housekeeping might well be char
acterized as the jar-packag ocean age,
so great a tendency is there nowadays
towards buying everything
cheese, bacon, tea, coffee, spices and
what all-in jars, packages or cans,
instead of in bulk, as we used to ten
or twenty years ago.
But what on earth-you question
has this to do with the cost of living :?
Well, in the first place it is self
evident that when you buy stuff by
the jar, package or can, you pay for
that jar, package or can. You may
pay for it, by giving slightly increased
price for the commodity. You may
pay for it, by receiving an inferior
quality of goods.
But you surely pay. For that you
can't get something for nothing-even
a tin cans one of the immutable
laws of life.
Yes, see that you are Uplifting
your nose very scornfully at this rid
iculous small mindedness, and saying,
How much does tin can or crock
cry jar costa penny, perhaps?" Per-
point is not what does one tin can or
one crockery jar cost, but what do the
dozens and dozens that have been
carried away in your refuse in the last
ten years cost?
Isn't that worth considering?
In the second place, there is the
question of quantity. Some packages
inform us themselves that they con-
tain a certain amount pound, a
half pound, five pounds. Very we'll.
homo thew a
western city, a very energetic sealer
of weights and measures turned the
whole city upside down by really get
ting onto his job" and discovering
how very few shopkeepers were hon
est in their measurings.
How can we be sure that the big
manufacturers are any more honest?
And yet how many of us ever put
the matter to a test, by actually weigh
ing the contents of some of these
packages?
Furthermore, some packages do not
even pretend to enlighten us as to
the amount they contain. But the
package or the jar looks so neat and
tidy that we buy it, without having
any idea how much we are getting
for our money
have been told that it is a ia
vOrite trick of manufacturers to eS-
tabIish a package or jar of som ething
in the public mind, as a most advan-
tageous purchase, and then to grad
ually decrease the size of that pack
age The public goes on paying the
same old price for the smaller pack
age, and congratulates itself that the
price of this commodity, at least, has
not gone up.
Now, mind you, this is not by any
means intended as a wholesale con-
domination of everything not sold in
bulk.
It is simply and solely little sug-
gestion that we look into the matter
and try to see if the reign of jar, pack
age and can may not have something
to do with the skyscraping tendencies

Every Woman Has a Per-
feet Complexion

Did it ever occur to you that every
woman has the pink and white bloom
of childhood underneath the harsher
and muddier outer skin? This outer
skin has so long been bearing the
shock and stress Of weather, work and
worthless cosmetics, creams, ETC., that
it effectualIy conceals the real COM
plexion- It has lately been discovered
that ordinary old-fashioned coleated
balsam If applied to the face will
quickly fleck off the Objectionable par
ticIes of dead and disfiguring outer
skin, revealing the true fresh com
plexion underneath.
Pure coIeated baIsam can be had at
any weIl-stocked druggist. and really
works wonders. Stubborn cases of long
standing beauty ills, such as sallow-
ness. pimples, liver spots and freekles,
give way very quickly to this home
treatment.-FTom Woman's Life.

COMMISSIONERS AGAINST ROUTE
President Meridian Road Club says
Road Win Be Built.

Salina. Kan, Oct 4@The county
commissioners today rejected the prop
osition to make the Meridian Winnf-
peg Gulf highway a county, as well
as killing all other county road pro-
jects. This makes Saline the only
county in the state, from Republic to
Sumner, which has not given the
great highway official recognition.
Olof Forsee and J. o. Hartley,
Democratic commissioners, voted
against the proposition and. Thomas
Anderson, Republican, for it. Presi-
dent watson of the Meridian road
club stated this evening that the high
way will be put through regardless of
the action Of the county.

WANT NO VACCINATION.
Meeting Held and a Formal Protest
Made.

A meeting of protest against COM
puIsory vaccination was held at the
Commercial club Tuesday night and
1t was declared that il the board of
education or city board of health en-
deavors to enforce the school children
to become Vaccinated, writ of NADIA
mus will be filed and a test case
brought into the courts.
The meeting was arranged by DR..
Eva Harding, who declared that if no
action is taken by any one else, in
case that compulsory vaccination is
attempted she personally will see to
it that something is done Immediately
to prevent the wholesale use of the
preventive for smallpox.
This resolution was passed express
ing appreciation of the action of the
board of education in recommending
that the teachers be simply instructed
to request parents to have their chill
dren vaccinated:
Resolved, That appreciation and
thanks be expressed to the members
of the board of education who opposed
the me asure to enforce compulsory vac
cinatson."
Another resolution was passed COM
mending the attitude OF Dr.. Eva Hard
ing and her attorney, Hugh Fisher.
There was no fear of any conse-
quence over the smallpox situation on
the part of the city health officers just
before the state fair declared Mr..
Fisher.
Now. following the fair, Mr.. Stotts.
the com missioner CT health. suddenly be-
cores alarmed fcl the public safety and
declares that vaccinatiOnmust be COM
pulsory. If the people of Topeka viii
stand up and say, NO I feel sure that
there will be no such preventive treat
ment administered"
Major T. ]. Anderson presided over
the meeting It was suggested that
public meeting of protest be heid in
case an effort is made TO compel vac
cination.

floor will be occupied by the women
and the program will be furnished by
women. A great many of the girl
students have invited delegates, each
student one delegate from her count
ty, so that as many counties of the
state as possible may be represented.

citation throughout the state will at
tend, besides club women, and all
women, in fact, who are taking an in
telligent interest in procuring a Wo-
mans building for the school.

renee has planned to entertain the
women who come to the meeting, and
the program they have mapped out
is this: To meet the out-of-toWn guests
at the train with automobiles and take
them TO the university chapel where

wards entertain them at a luncheon
