MISS. ANGLIN TO APPEAR
ONCE IN THE RIVAL" HERE

When Margaret Anglin comes to
the Garrick theater next week, pat
rons are promised, besides her new
comedy Green Stockings" one per-
Torrance at the matinee on Wednes-
day, of a new play, The Rival,
Tiadapted from the French OF Henry
Kistemaecher and Eugene Deland, In
which Miss Anglin will, OF course,
sustain the leading female role.
There Is a reason for this special
performance which has been frankly
stated by Liebler & Co., Miss Ang-
Inns managers. When the French
original was first produced at the
Odeon theater, Paris, four years ago,
the late Clyde Fitch tried TO secure
II for the American stage. Miss Ang-
lin also tried for ii, but 1t was Miss
Olga Nethersole who ultimately OBJ
tanned II. When Miss Anglin visited
Paris two years ago this month, she
discovered that Miss Nethersole, by
reason of certain business develop
ments, had been compelled to allow
her right to the play to lapse. Clyde
Fitch had died, and so Miss Anglin at
last came into possession OF the play.
Her contract with the French authors
called for production on or before
March 10 this year.
The success of Green Stockings"
prohibits the possibility of Miss Ang-
lin appearing In The Rival for a
run within the time specified by her
contract. However, to live up to the
spirit of her contract, and to pre-
serve her right and interest In the
play, arrangements have been made
for one special performance, as men
toned above, and for which Miss Ang-
lin and her company are taking as

so successful for the last four years.
Miss Stahl could have continued play
Ing The Chorus Lady" almost indef-
inately. as the interest manifested
wherever she appeared, in some cases
for the fourth and fifth time. was as
strong as on the first presentation,
but she feels that the time had come
when fresh evidence of her versatility
as a coincidence must be gwen.
With this purpose i'm view, Miss Stahl
about month ago produced the new
Charles Klein comedy Maggie Pep
per-" which her manager, Henry b.
Harris will present In the Detroit
opera house. Monday evening, Feb q,
for veeks engagement. In the new
play, Miss Stahl has the part OF a
saleslady in New York department
store The cast includes Frederick
I. uesdell, Grant Stewart, Lee Kohl

Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch,
who will spend next week In the Ly-

Heegan Rice, has proven one Of the
most successful OF book dramatiza-
lions, and undoubtedly the reason is
the wholesomeness of the play and
its quaint philosophy.
Walter Howard says that when he
wrote THE House With the Green

go TO the theater to rack their brains

The matter is of SO much interest
that George Tyler, Of the firm of

The Proof That Westminster Readers
Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger evi-
dence OF the efficiency or any remedy
than the test Of time? Thousands OF
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief that they had
derived from the use or Doan's Kid
ney Pills. They now confirm their
testimonials. They say time has COM
pleted the test.
David Myers, John St., Westminster,
Nd, says: "a relative suffered for
nearly two years from kidney trouble.
The person referred to complained of
dull, bearingdown pains across the
back and often had terrible headaches
and spells of dizziness. Doan's Kid
ney Pills were finally procured at
Moore's Drug Store and as the result
of their use the person who was af-
fiicted is entirely free from kidney
complaint"
The above statement was given No
vember A, 1907 and on May IS, 1911,
Mr.. Myers said. "Doan's Kidney Pills
have been used in our family with
satisfactory results. I am pleased to
confirm our previous, public endorse

TUBERCULOSIS MOVEMENT IN
CREASED 700 PER CENT.
New Directory Shows 1900 Agencies
Engaged In Consumption Fight.

Engaged In Consumption Fight.
From statistics published to-day in
the new tuberculosis Directory of the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis, 1t is as
certained that over 600 cities and
towns of the United States, besides
about 100 in Canada, are engaged in
the war against consumption, and that
on April LIST there were nearly 1900
different agencies at work in the cru
SADIE, an increase of nearly 700 per
cent in the last seven years.
The new Directory lists 421 tuber-
culosis sanatoria, hospitals, and day
camps; Sill associations and commit
tees for the prevention Of tuberculo-
sis; 342 special dispensaries, 68 open
air schools; SO hospitals for the in
sane and penal institutions making
special provision for their tuberculo-
sis inmates; besides giving an ac-
count of the anti-tuberculosis legisla-
ton in every state and in about $50
cities. The Directory, which Ia the
third Of its kind that has ever been
published in this country, gives the
most complete survey OF the anti-tu-
berculosis movement that can be Sc
cured, and shows the remarkable
growth of this campaign in the last
seven years. The first Directory in
1904 showed only 1873 organizations
and institutions in the entire United
States. The second Directory in 1908
reported $40 different agencies, as
compared with 1440 in the new book
Taking these figures as a basis, the
anti-tuberculosis movement has in
creased in force since 1904,nearly 700
per cent, and since 1908, over los
per cent.

"a Bondholder i'm Heaven,

The Rev. Lundy Fl. Harris, of Nash
Vile, died poor in this worlds goods,
leaving only $2.35 in his purse, SIG
in bank, few books and coffin. Ac-
cording to the inventory filed by his
widow:
THE major part Of his estate was
invested in heavenly securities. He
invested every year not less than $1,000
in charity, so secretly, SO inoffensively
and SO honestly that he was never
suspected of being a philathropist and
never praised for his generosity. He
pensioned an old outcast woman in
Barron county and an old soldier in
Nashville. He sent two little negro
boys to school and supported for three
years a family of five who could not
support themselves.
HE contributed anonymously to
every charity in Nashville; every old
maid interested in benevolent OBJ
ject' received his aid; every child he
knew exacted and received penny tolls
from his tenderness. He supported
the heart of every man who confided
in him with encouragement and affecti-
ON. He literally did forgive his enemies,
and he was ever recognized as one of
the largest bondholders in heaven"
No doubt there is more Of this kind
OF investment than is commonly sup
posed. Millionaires buy heavenly Sc
curities in blocks, but the great hold
ings are among the plain people who
acquire them in odd lots as did Mr.
Harris-who do good by stealth and
disclaim their philanthropy; taking as
much pleasure in swearing off their
securities in heaven as others do their
personal taxes. Their estates do not
bulk large in executors schedules but
they derive a satisfaction from their
investments not always shared oy
other bondholders.-New York World

m YOU ever watch a fly cleaning

he does that to get rid Of the particles
of hlth, often containing disease
germs. tnat he has picked up with his
feet. For tiy's feet are sticky. Per
hans he drops those germs into the
sugar bowl. From there they get into
some human stomach. If they get in
to the milk pitcher so much the worse,
for germs will multiply enormously in
milk, and hundred may in a few
hours become a million.
The eggs of the fly are laid in
filthy places; just such places as are
most likely to contain the germs of
typhoid fever, cholera infantum and
other intestinal diseases. From the
eggs are Matched little worms or mag
gots, which later change into the ia
miliar fly. All flies nave their be-
ginnings in filth. If there were no
filth there would be NO fly. When
the fiy appears he is full grown and
goes straight from the stable or the
garbage-can TO the house, bringing
with him whatever disease germ may
be sticking to his unclean feet.
Because he brings typhoid fever
rather more commonly than other
diseases he is coming to be called
the typhoid fly" When this name is
commonly used people will cease to
imagine the house hy harmless and
will do all they can to destroy him.
Each foot is furnished with two
claws, not unlike a Holsters, and with
two light-colored pads. The fly clings
to rough surfaces by means of the
sticky pads. These sticky surfaces
pick up disease germs or any very
small particles that they may touch.
If the fly is to keep the power of
clinging to smooth surfaces these
foreign particles must not be allowed
to accumulate too much, and so he
often wipes his feet. The disease
germs that he rubs off may drop into
the sugar bowl or the milk pitcher
and SO find their way into the human
intestinal canal. Typhoid fever and
cholera infantum are the diseases
most commonly carried in this way,
but tuberculosis (consumption) and
many others may also be conveyed
