The COIumBia-"Green stockings"


Margaret Angiin, one of our foremost
actresses, is announced to appear at the
Columbia Theater on Monday next for
one week, in her most recent success.
Green Stockings" by A. E. W. Mason
The play is q modern comedy, in which
Miss Anglin assumes a role that differs
entirely from any OF those with which
her name has been associated in recent
years.
The distinguished actress, already ac-
knowledged TO be pre-eminent in roles Of
an emotional character, some time ago
expressed an ambition to appear for a
change in a comedy role and thus iden-
tify herself more closely with the lighter
side OF her art, and it appears that in
Green Stockings she has been for
tunate in securing a play that affords
every opportunity OF exhibiting her
powers OF comedy.
The comedy is In three acts and has
for its central theme the audacious effort
OF high-spirited English girl to effect
her emancipation from the thraldom of
spinsterhood by the ingenious invention
OF a fiance. Miss Anglin will begin her
Washington engagement by devoting the
receipts Of the first performance on Mon
day night to the funds OF the Northern
Dispensary. This OF course, be 1t said,
with the cordial cooperation OF the Co
lumbia Theater management.

Special. Seed Plots Prevent Diseases

Special, Seed Plots Prevent Diseases
From the Extension Service, Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture, Madi-
son.
Special seed plots for small grains
and corn were urged at the demon
stration recently held at the James
Vile county asylum farm under the
auspices of the College of Agrlcul-
ture of the University of Wisconsin.
Special preparation may be given to
such a plot and the highest grade
seed planted in it. 1t may be harvest
ed at the most favorable time, and
should be stored in a special place
and spread out thin enough to avoid
heating. Many grains cannot 2ermln-
ate properly after being heated to
1870 degrees. But the temperature in
a grain bin often runs to 10 degrees,
farmers get their seed after feeding
from the bin all winter. Prof. Nor
cord spoke of fungus diseases which
spoil all of the grain on every head
they attack. When shocked under Or
binary conditions of moisture and
heat. these diseases spread rapidly
from one head to another. We cannot
keep a whole field dry. After plant
inc healthy seed it is much easier
to keep the grain on seed plot IN
the best condition to prevent grain
diseases, by cutting it in the mid
die of the day and taking special
care in shocking. The man who has
alfalfa hay caps should use them on
his seed grain.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many, children at an early age
comesAconstipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not

dition, a chilXs bowels should be
constantly watched, and gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative = Tablets are
especially well\ adapted to women
and children. The Sisters OF
Christian Charity, p53I Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases Of sslckness> say OF them:
sSome ftinae ago we began using DR..
Miles laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their actloh
is excellent and we are grateful 1or
having been made acquainted WIN
Them We have had good results in
every1 case and sthe Sisters are very
much. pleased
The. form andsfavor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appea rance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child "medicine," even
though the taste is partially dis
guised In using DR.. Miles Lax
ative Tablets, however, this diff.
Guilty is overcome. The shape OF
the tablets, their appearance and
candw-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR.:
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of rs doses costs

Queer Facts About Cities of America

Some little known facts about Am.
erican cities have been collected by
Prof. r. H. Whitbeck Of the geology
department of the University of Wis.
consin in an article in the last mum
Der of the Journal of Geography.
That Massachusetts, one of the
smallest states in the Union, has
more large cities than any other
state, is one of the odd facts point
ed out. 1t has twenty-five cities with
population of twenty-five thousand
or over The state of New York has
twenty-one cities of twenty-five thou
sand or over, and Pennsylvania has
twenty.
Texas, the largest state in the UNI
ion has no city with over a hundred
thousand inhabitants. There is only
one city of Arkansas, Little Rock,
that has over twenty-five thousand,
while New Jersey, one of the small
er states has fourteen.
The peculiar fact that four states
have one very large city while the
one of second size is small and al
most unknown outside of the state
is also shown. For instance, every
one knows that Chicago is the first
city of Illinois and has over two
million people, but few know that the
second city of Illinois is Peoria,
which has a population only one
thirtieth as large as Chicago. While
Baltimore has over one half a mil
lion, the next city of Maryland, Cum
berland, has only twenty-five thous-
and New Orleans is twelve times
the size of Shreveport, the second
city of Louisiana. Milwaukee is near
ly ten times as large as Superior,
the second city of Wisconsin.
We now have nineteen cities with
over a quarter of million inhabit-
ants each. Only one of these, New
Orleans, is in the south. Seven are
on or near the Atlantic coast, five ,
are near the great lakes, three are
on the Mississippi, two are on the
Ohio. and two are on the Pacific
coast.
