Sound Advice for EmIgrants.

Writing in the British News Of
Canada" an Edinburgh man, who
went out to the Dominion six years
ago and in that time has been in ev
cry province, says by way of advice
to intending emigrants: Come out
to Canada, by all means; there is
work for you If you are not too proud
(my first job was the pick and
shovel, but don't by any means come
out here and think you are just as
good as the man who hired you. Dc
your work, hold your tongue, and
don't always be telling us how you do
things at home; we are tired of hear
ing about 1t. Finally, remember that
the man who pays you wages is the
boss, in spite of the yarns Of the emf
grafton agents."

the time of epidemics. Maritime san
itation by the health authorities of
these countries is not only improper
ly conducted, but is, as well, a him
drance to commerce and source of
expense to ship-owners. A uniform
international system of maritime san
itation and fumigation would prove
of great benefit to shipping, and at the
same time minimize the dangers of
spread of the disease. The measures
used in combating the plague are in
adequate and antiquated.
AS to the original source of infec-
ton on the western coast of South
America but little is definitely known,
though it is believed that commercial
intercourse with India is responsible
for it's presence. The exports Of these
countries should also receive atten

view of the great loss of life suffered

Find Valuable Fresco In Ruins,

One Of the latest and most In
teresting things uncovered during the
new excavations at Pompeii under the
direction of Professor Spinazzola, Is
a fresco which is regarded as the
best found. 1t was one of the orna'
ments Of the facade of house situat.
ed in the main public thoroughfare,
Of which the roof was in almost per
feet condition. 1t represents the
Pompeian Venus standing erect
crowned with a diadem in the midst
Of flying Cupids on a chariot drawn
by four Indian elephants. Seen from
the front, the representation of these
animals is strikingly realistic. The
archaeological value of the fresco IL
extremely great, for the colors are
very fresh and harmonious.

Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of the

tyrants, and the party of Jefferson
has practically destroyed the Repub-

I have heard from my youth time
that "it takes a thief to catch theft"
I have heard it said also that the way
of the ungodly shall perish, and
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap" The Republican party
has sown political corruption. That
party is now reaping the fruits of
that corruption. Well can that party

be acquitted by the jury. He talked
as though he thought so, too until he

the indictment read and saw the sole

doubtfully. I said: "Joe, we are go

vaudevill. and Motion Pictures.


 At the Davis Broadway theater on Monday there was a matinee for the vaudeville and moving pictures, but no performance for this part of the theater's bill in the evening, as that time was taken up by Henrietta Cros- man in The Real Thing
 In the vaudeville bill the Black Byrds make a singing act that is one of the good things that the Davis has offered this season, and they are or iginal fun makers. For a comedy singing and talking team, Miller and Tempest put in neat and well ar ranged act that never fails to win the approval of the house, while in the solo dancing line, Alvora shows nov city numbers that are full of grace and charm. The photoplays and mo- tion pictures are of the kind that keep up the standard of the house.

 Practically sold out for the presenta- uon of The Real Thing, the Davis Broadway theater on Monday evening had a house that gave Henrietta Cros- man a cordial greeting, demanding one curtain call after another at the end of every act til the star had sat isfied them by her obliging reappear- ance to bow acknowledgment of the tribute to her irresistible fitness for the role she portrayed To single out one or another from a troupe so ad- mirably balanced would be an injus- tice to Miss Crossman's support.
