THE LION and
The MOUSE

The Omaha, Neb., World.Herald re-
views a performance of The Lion and
The Mouse" as follows:
The power and arrogance OF the
moneyed interests have never before
been portrayed more clearly nor the
lesson of the folly Of greed more
vividly taught than in the powerful
story of THE Lion and The Mouse
which has been seen in this city on
several occasions. Two good sized au-
diences witnessed the play Sunday
and the hearty appreciation with
which II was received left no doubt
but what the lesson was wholesome.
Presenting the piece this season the
United Play company has the strong
est cast of any since the original pro
duction a number of years ago. The
work of the principals Is so far above
the average and there is such n
smoothness to the entire production
that one takes new interest in the
fascinating story. even though he may
have seen II at each proceeding visit
The character of John Burkett Ryd
er, the all-powerful arrogant domin
eering master of finance, is played
this year by Robert Blaylock, a
strong character actor, whose good
work has been seen here on other
occasions. Mr.. Blaylock casts aside
the temptation to overact the part
and gives to it added vigor and close
attention to detail. which makes the
part more convincing than has been
done by some of his predecessors.
Too much praise cannot be given

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

! Mrs. T. A.: I do not think it necessary
for you to consult a physician about your
weight You can easily remove your
burdensome fat at small expense by dis
solving ounces of parnotis in liz pints
hot water and taking a tablespoonful be-
fore meals. This splendid fat-reducer is
very safe to take and will not fnjure your
health. 1t will leave your skin free from
wrinkles and flabbiness. No dieting is
necessary
Ida P: You can't be too careful about
the shampoo you use. Soap and powders
should never be used on the scalp. To
properly cleanse your hair and scalp with
out any danger of injury to the hair you
will find nothing to equal a teaspoonful
of canthrox dissolved in cup of hot wa
ter. Your hair will rinse easily, dry
quickly without streaking or brittleness,
and take on an added lustre and fluffffi-
ness that will last. No shampoo is so ef-
fective in removing dandruff, scalp irrita-
ton and promoting haiE-health by keep
ing the scalp perfectly clean.
Mrs S. NJ: Your complexion is shiny
from the use of greasy cold creams. If
you will mix an ounce Of almonzoin and
teaspoonfuls glycerine In n pint cold wa
ter, and use this greaseleSs beauty cream
night and morning, you Will not be both
cred with a muddy, greasy complexion.
1t Will make your skin ever so soft,
smooth and beautiful It clears and re-
fines the skin as no other cream have
ever used will, and is a sure preventive
against chapping, blackheads and co
larged pores.

Rose: To rid your skin of that shiny,
greasy, sallow look and make it appear
charming and youthful, you can use
nothing better than a lotion made by
dissolving 4 ounces spurmax in " pint
witch hazel (or hot water), then adding
2 teaspoonfuis glycerine. This lotion will
clear and Whten your skin, make 1t
smooth and velvety, and give you beau-
tiful complexion. 1t costs very little, VIII
not show on the skin like powder does,
and, when you wear veil, will not rub
off so easily. This is really a wonderful
complexion beautifier, and one which
every woman should use.
Phoebe: If strong light hurts your
eyes and makes you squint, you should
at once take steps to correct this weak
ness. Get an ounce of crytos and dis
solve it in a pint of water. Put few
drops of this soothing tonic in each eye
daily and you will soon find your eyes
greatly strengthened, clear and sparkling.
No remedy has so far been found to equal
this excellent tonic for correcting weak,
eyes. 1t makes them healthy
and strong and is used by many actresses
to make their eyes sparkle.
