WINNIPEG, Mantle brown rat
W has reached Winnipeg. According
to the statistics of the department Of
agriculture Of the province there is
an area Of 30 miles long abutting the
United States on its northern frontier

less the people generally awaken to
the seriousness of the situation.
According to the deputy minister,
the rats In the province move in q
radius of Is miles each year, and he
has compiled many valuable statistics
relating to the rat. Two years ago
the department conducted a series Of
Investigations and produced virus that
1t was thought would eliminate the
pest. There was quite a considerable
amount OF interest at FIRST, and many
applications were made for the virus.
Reports indicate that thousands Of

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condf-
tion Is perfectly natural. It is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so act
i've as youth. The muscles are lees
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is I'M
portant at all ages. but never SO much
as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But lash cant be
used every day. What the bowels Of
the old need is gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.
They work while you sleep.

Endowina City Churches.

Many have felt during the last twen-
ty-five years that the church was suf-

Once great fortunes went ito the

Kennedy is responsible for the turn of
the tide toward the churches again.
He left large sums for church work.

The story of the play involves q
debonaire young freebooter who has
come into the management of his staid
old fathers bank, and who, in his ef-
fort to expand the business, resorts
to various Questionable practices.
There is a woman in the case, the wife
of the prosecuting attorney of the Fed
eral Government, who was once the
sweetheart of the young broker. and
whose husband is given to posing as
an infallible moralist, and he allows
his unjust jealousy to override his
sense of legal justice. Mr.. Klein il
lustrates the axiom that there is no
gain without risk. He shows that
men and women cannot make tre-
mendous gains without making tre-
mendous losses, and that success in
fame and fortune does not always
mean real success in life.

Tonight is the last opportunity for
seeing that bill of features at the Muir
ray and no one can afford to miss see
ing this weeks show. Renzetta, who
opens the show, has an acrObatic act
of unusual merit, closing with the
thrilling trick of rocking upon and
falling from the high pyramid of ia
bles and chairs.
The Pepper Twins, singers and dane
ers, have very neat little act. The
two young men are as near alike as it
is possible for them to be and are at
their best in the different character
changes.
The Alpha Sextette, four young la
dies and two men singing anything
from grand opera to rag time have
made lasting impression upon the
Richmond theater going public and ev-
eryone is loath to see them go.
Closing the show is Dorothy Lamb
and company in their comedy entitled
"A Night with the Red Men" The
comedy in which Miss Lamb stars is
beautifully staged and is replete with
genuine wit and true comedy. Miss
Lamb is winsome and attractive and
this feature Of the splendid bill ct

public should not fail to see.
