tanned was shown in Miss Winners
Interpretation of the role of drunken
soldier, this being one of the very best,
if the least agreeable, phases Of her
presentation. 1t was, indeed, capital
piece Of acting. No man could have
created more perfect illusion.
Olga Nethersole, the celebrated &C
tress, is said to have heard Miss Will
mer read and to have at once offered
her position in her company and to
predict that if Miss Wilmer did enter
the legitimate theater she would
achieve renown.
Certainly this young woman possess
as extraordinary dramatic gifts. Gifts
SO unusual it seems a thousand pities
they should not have their proper the
atric setting.
Orchestra Concert.
Miss Winners reading was preceded
by a concert by Runge's orchestra
whose various numbers were repeated
ly encored, and which has met with
an overwhelming reception whenever
| it appears.
Tuesday Afternoon.
"I would put a man in Jail who serv-
ed coca-cola to boys in knee trousers
and girls in short skirts" was the dec
laration of DR.. Sadler in his lecture
yesterday afternoon on "Americanitis,
or The High Pressure Life
! And that this met with the approval
of his audience of over two thousand
persons was testified to by the ire
hich
DR.. Sadler presented one of the most
interesting lectures heard at this or
any other chautauqua and one which
should be heard by all classes of the
public.
1t concerned the effects of our man.
ner of living on the circulation of the
blood and the consequent ills to our
| physical, and incidentally, to our social
system, and it's motif was to illustrate
THAT it was the way we did things.
rather than invariably the things
themselves, that caused what the spea-
ker termed "Americanitis."
Way to Asylum.
Cocaine is the shortest known
route to the insane asylum" said Dr.
Sadler in that part of his address
which referred to the effects Of various
narcotics on the blood pressure, CO.
caine accelerating the latter.
Morphine, on the other hand, stated
the speaker, lowered it, and the two
were thus often used together for their
reactionary effects although to the I'M
instructed their combined use was
seemingly an anomaly.
! Next to cocaine" said DR.. Sadler,
tobacco is the narcotic whose use is
most deleterious to the blood pressure.
| While a single cigar will raise the
+, blood pressure it is not the single CT
gar which counts, but its continued
habit
alcohol, on the contrary, is the
greatest known to lower the blood
pressure although in the end it has
the opposite effect because it hardens
| the arteries and destroys the kidneys.
"Tea and coffee also heighten the
pressure in the blood and the only
nourishment they give is that derived
| from the sugar and cream put into
them"
That everybody eats too much and
that meats, in especial, are bad for
the system since their juices act harm
fully on the blood, was the statement
of the speaker who advocated vege-
tartan diet and the use of raw foods,
so that their natural flavor could be
known and appreciated.
| For the use of condiments-mustard,
pepper, salt, vinegar and kindred sea-
sonings was as harmful, in many in
stances, as that of drugs, the doctor
citing one case where a woman died
of alcoholism from the effects of con-
slant use of vinegar although the
cause of her death was a mystery until
an autopsy was performed.
! That the effects of worry and men
tai agitation on the blood were as pro-
found as narcotics, was the position of
DR. Sadler who illustrated this con-
vincingly.
Common Colds.
DR.. Lena Sadler followed DR.. Sadler
with an interesting and informing talk
on Common Colds" going to show
that the latter were contracted
through errors in dress, over-eating
chilling of the skin, badly ventilated
houses, and from other causes and
that simple remedies to combat their
effects or prevent them altogether
were within the reach of everybody.
Were all medicines as meritorious
as Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy the world would be
puch better off and the percentage of
suffering greatly decreased" writes
