AmuSementS
At The MURRAY,

Suns Minstrels costlier and more
elaborate than ever before opened up
to a crowded house this afternoon.
For his first Mr.. Sun has arranged
the setting in Japan among the cherry
blossoms. Beautiful scenic effects and
rich wardrobes make this wonderful
affair.
During the first part many vocal Sc
lections are rendered by the singers,
Floyd and Simpson, who for some time
called Richmond home, is singing two
bass solos this year and scoring a de-
cided hit. Tom Powell, that genial fun
making man is funnier than before and
in the first part is singing that very
popular rag, Alexanders Rab Time
Band. The first part is concluded with
the burlesque band, which is extreme
ly funny.
With an olio larger and better than
before Suns starts off the second part

comedy and is sure to score we'll.
Tom Powell hands over the foot
lights a routine of new songs and sto-
ries that are new and help to keep for
him his reputation as a laughing sue
cess.
The Victoria Trip. Apollos of Har-
mony, were a decided success and the
audience were loath to leave. them go.
Smith and Arado, the added attrac-
ton have an act that is laughable, not
for the depth of their wit but for the
ludicrous way of springing it. They are
couple of kids and get many laughs.
The Murrayscope with a first run
film concluded the performance.

Rheumatism
A Big Joke

It's so easy to get entirely rid of
Rheumatism or govt since the discov-
cry of RHEUMA that people who
continue to suffer are surely playing
a painful joke on themselves.
It's such a sure thing that RHEU-
MA will cure Rheumatism that Leo H.
Fihe will refund your money if it
doesn't This is the way it acts on ev-
erybody:
Fort Myers, Fiat was so crippled
with rheumatism that l could scarce

MA and was SO greatly benefited

ter taking them-three months ago

RHEUMA is wonder-worker. One
hour after the first dose it begins to
act on kidneys, liver, bowels and blood,
and within few hours the poisonous
uric acid has begun to pass from the
system through the natural channels.

Il Made a Remarkable Scene In the
House Of Representatives.
A touching scene occurred in the
house of representatives a number of
years ago when an aged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first
time addressed the speaker. All eyes
We're turned in his direction as he
stood calmly awaiting recognition. He
was tall, spare and erect. His veneer
able appearance and kindly expression,
coupled with most courteous manners.
at once commanded attention.
AS in husky tones he again said
''Mr. Speaker" there came from the
farthest end Of the great hall in a
whisper. but distinctly heard by all,
the words, Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt"
A moment later and from the floor
and gallery many voices blended in
the familiar refrain. Don't you re-
member sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?"
The ovation which Immediately fol
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
OF the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives Of all
parties and sections. 1t was an inspir-
ing tribute, one worthily bestowed.
The member was Thomas Dunn Eng

"Rosalind at Rebate"

In "Rosalind at Redgate" it is like
coming home again to see the spire of
ST. Agatha's rising above the green
wood, and to gaze out over the blue
waters Of Lake Annandale whereon
the girl of the red tamoshanter once
rowed her mysterious course. But a
change has come with the years. a
change startling indeed. Into the Indi-
ana wood has stolen the relentless
modern improvement, electric lights
now flash the alluring pathway of ro-
nance. At the end of the pathway
travelled by old friends and new, lie
the Indiana woods, where once again
two adventurous companies clash

gauntlet of youth is still thrown down

CURIOUS ESKIMO LIVING.

The Pallet Moons In Homes Entirely

Furniture is quite unknown in a

wife of the Danish governor of Green

built of stone and turf, with the win

entrance always being on the side that
Is least exposed to the wind. Along
the back wall runs a platform. pallet
of boards. raised eighteen inches above
the floor. 1t is from six to eight feet
deep, and through its whole length it
is divided into rooms or spaces of
eight or ten feet. Each room IS sepa-
rated from the neighboring room by a
partition of board or skin. An open
passage runs the whole length OF the
house along the pallet rooms and
serves for the traffic of all the inmates.
but each pallet room claims for its
own the bit Of passageway adjoining.
Each pallet room Is occupied by one
family. and there they stay night and
day. The best pallet room is the in
nermost and is always occupied by the
owner of the house or the oldest If the
house has more than one owner"

/ TAFT WILL DEFEND

Interest Centered in His Ad-

tNational News Association

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 25.-The
nearness of the 1912 presidential cam
paign, the attitude of the administra-
ton on the conservation question es-
pecially in Alaska, as a political issue.
and President Taft's announcement
that he would defend the government 3
Alaskan policy before the convention,
are the causes of much anticipatory
excitement among the many promf-
nent men gathered here to attend the
three days sessions of the Third Ma
tional Conservation Congress, which
opened at Convention Hall today.
President Taft's address is scheduled
for tomorrow night.
The data for the Presidents defense
of his national conservation policy has
been gathered by Secretary OF Inter
ior Walter Fisher in the course of an
extensive trip through the much moot
ed Alaskan coal fields where he made
first hand study of the situation.
with a view of advising the chief exec

territory.
Clifford Pinchot, former chief fores-

ed to deliver an address, but he is in

of such widely divergent political op'
inions as President Taft, Woodrow

its deliberations will prove of great
benefit to those engaged in agriculture
in the United States, by reason of the
scientific farming experts that have
accepted President Wallace's invita-
ton to speak before the convention.
The primary objects of the National
Conservation congress are: To pro
vide for the discussion of the resourc
es of the United States as the foun
dalton for the prosperity of the peo
pie; to furnish definite information
concerning the resources and thell
development, use and preservation
and to form an agency through which
the people in the different sections OF
the country, President Wallace has
secured many prominent agriculturists
from the various state agricultural col
leges, who, together with metallurgists
of note will speak upon the vital is
sues of their particular bailiwicks.
Particular attention will be paid tC

Sagging or Hanging
Cheeks and Chin
(From Woman's MagazIneo

(From Woman's MagazIne.)
Flabbiness of cheeks, chin or neck
has been considered very difficult to
correct until the recent discovery of
a veritable wonder-worker for such
conditions. The preparation is so sim
pie and harmless any woman can cas-
lily make and apply it. 1t is all the
more remarkable in that its beneficial
effects are apparent even after the
first application, both as to appear
ance and the feeling of comfort pro-
duced.
The formula is: Powdered saxolite,
1 o., dissolve in l pit. witch hazel. Use
daily as wash lotion. The solution
tends to contract and solidify the loos-
ened, baggy tissue, smoothing out the
folds, creases and wrinkles, besides
having a refining influence on skin of
coarse texture and large pores. AS
witch hazel and saxolite can be had
at any drugstore at little cost, many
will doubtless be glad to have this sue
cessful recipe.
