without d~etracting from it's glamor in
any way. The air is snappy and tie
singing isn't half bad, but the temper
of the scene is out Of harmony with
the rest of the play and with the real
y good intentions of Alma through
cut in her attitude toward the country
lad, Pierre.
Miss Drew was heard to advantage
in Childhood Days." which is a
really beautiful melody. and in her
other duet with Mr.. Orr, Land of the
Dreams, as we'll as in the
ev~er-recurring refrain of Alma,
Sweet Alma"
Charles f. Orr, as Pierre, the sim
pie country lad, portrayed with much
credit the part of the rustic. He was
at home also in his singing parts,
with an agreeable tenor voice, not too
strong but appealing. He was repeat
eddy encored for his rendition of
"Girlies," n of the decidedly catchy
songs of the score, and did his best
worn, perhaps, in the Love Me- song,
assisted by other members of the
cast.
The comedy is well looked after by
Carlton King, as the hen-pecked but
always smiling Theobold; John Mum
dinger, as CASTOR, and Henry Sher-
wood as the hot-blOOded Count BOLIVIA
rio. Mr.. King has a makeup that
would attract notice in a tornado, and
he fits his lines to the part with ar
tistic ense. His troubles with Count
Bolivario, whom he classed along
with Vesuvius and other eruptives,
leave him a nervous wreck in spots,
but thanks to the disguise provided
at the feminine outfitters. he manages
to make the grand final escape and
gives the imperative count the horse,

Throughout, the play is well-balanc-
ed, and a~llin-all, one of the most sat
plays seen here in a long time.

DISSOLVE BONE IN THROAT

10 q Thing Worth Keeping
In Mind.

Sitting at . planked shad dinner In
Yonkers. a laughing guest drew a bone
into his throat and he began to
strangle. Some one suggested that the
sufferer swallow a fragment Of dry
bread.
"Oh, no." exclaimed an Ossining
man. Don't give him bread. It might
catch the bone and it Nigh, not. Give
him something that is sure to give re-
lief" Reckoning to a waiter, he said:
Bring me q lemon. cut in two" And
1t was brought without delay. Taking
one section. he offered Il to the chok-
ing guest and told him to suck the
Juice and to swallow it SLOWLY. Direc.
tons were faithfully foil we'd, and in
about a quarter Of a minute the a.
dicted one placed the half lemon on
his plate. looked into the anxious faces
around the table and smiled.

has slipped down."

ing man. Tho bone slipped down, all
right. but 1t was melted first by the

to dissolve a hshbone. You can test
the power Of lemon juice by dropping
some on the fishbones you may have

Several diners tried the experiment
In each case the acid reduced the bone

"AIma, Where Do You Liver"

Little Rock Arkansas Democrat.
Even more pleasing that on its FIRST
visit to Little Rock last year, that fas-
cinating hotch.potch Of music. mirth
and melody, "Alma, Where Do You
Liver" returned as the offering at the
Kempner Theater last night. 1t was
received with evident appreciation, If
repeated curtain calls are worth any
thing as an index. 1t was almost pa
thetic the way the audience worked
some of the principals in the tantaliz-
ing kissing Song" Miss Drew and
Mr.. Orr having to stage this ecstatic
bit of the play no less than eight
times for the delectation of the inter-
ested ones on the other side of the
footlights.
Alma" is one of the few produc-
tions Of a musical turn in which the
musical numbers please throughout.
Most all of the plays of this class have
one or two numbers that you will re-
member them by, but the in
Alma is delightful from the lifting
measures of the title song to the clos
ing ensemble. And with the vocal
numbers is an orchestration that de-
cided,y heightens the musical effect.
The title role is essayed by Miss
Grace Drew, who is not a stranger
here by any means, having been n
ri the prima donnas in the "Choco-
late Soldier" Her singing Is good,
but her acting is even better. She
portrays the part of the fascinating
Alma with all the zest and vivacits
one could wish, and yet with a pecu-
liar grace and charm that eliminate
anything that is risque or suggestive.
The only possible criticism one could
hold against the play in this connec-
ton is in the sail Home" where
there is q dash Of the real French fla

Louisiana Lou.
Kansas City Journal.
Kansas City saw Louisiana Lou

the many charms of that beautiful
dark-haired girl who entranced Chica.
go all during last season and nearly
through thu hot summer just closed.
Lou was in very good company,
however, and thus surrounded, it is
difficult to imagine how she could
have failed to captivate the metropO-
lis of the Missouri river.
The tuneful musical comedy came
to the Willis Wood last night and en-.
tertained and charmed a big audi
ence that put it's seal of approval on
this big and lavish production. 1t is
the combined effort of Addison Burk-
hardt, Frederick Donaghey and Ben
NJ. Jerome, the latter supplying the
music. Those who saw the perform
ance last night agree with the Chica-
go critics that these musical comedy
men have done nothing better.
With real comedy in the hands Of
real comedians, a big chorus, no end
of beautiful costumes, handsome stage
settings and a score of musical num-
bers that brought on the big chorus
in n bewildering dance after anoth-
er, it is no wonder that the people
who filled the theater drank in the
first big mulscal comedy offering of
the season and declared it a big show.
The bulk of the work falls On SAM
uel Liebert who, as Jacob LidOffski,
characterizes that m~uch-abused stage
Hebrew in a manner that is a treat.
He makes much genuine fun and at
times lapses into a pathetic vein, but
only at brief intervals and soon the
audience is laughing heartily again.
Anna Chandler can hold her own
with almost any other fiat" comedi-
enne. In Louisiana Lou" she has a
Trixie Friganza part and made a hit
from her very first song. Now Am
de Time" and "The- Puritan France
are almost riots of fun. In the latter
song Miss Chandler is aided by the
big chorus.
Cecilia Novasio, who takes the part
of Louisa-Lou," a fondling picked up
in the street of New Orleans and
raised to womanhood by Lidoffski, is
a beautiful young woman with her
darkest of hair, large eyes and express
sive features. She proved to be a cap
tivating girl around whom to build
this tuneful tale of the South.
There are s~weethearts and cOnspir-
ing villains, a spurious French noble
who turns out to be a waiter who
can double up like a jackknife, mix
ed-up love affairs and many other
that keep this musical comedy
a regular whirlwind of fun and song.
Both stage settings represent South
.rn scenes, the first a street in the
quarter in New Orleans, and
the other a plantation on the Missis-
sippi river just above the city. The
presence of Mardi Gras makes things =,
all the more lively and gives occa-
sion for some fantastic costumes.
Louisiana Lou certainly must
have been satisfied with her reception
last night. The big musical comedy
will remain for the week with matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday.

 Those desiring literature for dis tribution, should apply to Mrs. Alice Park, Hotel Adams, Phoenix.
 Next in importance to securing votes for the amendment, is the matter of funds, which are needed to carry this work to successful termination. It should be a matter of pride to the people of Arizona to meet the expenses of this campaign without outside help. And so we are giving them the oppor- tunity to do so by asking every one to respond as generously as possible to this call for financial aid.
 Again we urge every friend of Equal suffrage to work diligently and earnestly for the next two weeks. to the end that we may roll up the very largest majority in the history of votes for women.

We know many men who say that they would willingly vote for the amend ment if only the women of their house. holds and their women friends would ask them to. Obviously then, the thing to do is to ask.

DOUGLAS, Oct. 22.-Nine hours of work and no more.
 No bread making.
 These are the latest rules of the negro cooks of Douglas, formulated during the week just ended at a meet ing of the negro social club. As a re- suit of the announcement of the ruling there are a number of vacancies in the domestic service of the homes.
 The state law, covering work for the women and children, strictly precludes domestic service from the occupations in which the law applies. Probably the legislators were afraid to face their wives and for this reason ex- cepted the domestics from the classes in which woman can work no more than eigh hours.

 Graded hay can be sold by certifi- cate, and there will be "refusals" by buyers, who are operating on the shady side of honesty. An immense amount of trouble has occurred on account of the dealings of southern buyers in particular.

A princely sum awaits the winning driver at Phoenix And best of all the lions share of the purse is contributed by San Diego, although the enterprising city of Phoenix did its share nobly when it's citizens con- tributed 5000 to the purse. .a.
 Purse Is Increased
 With entrance fees of $100 from each driver, the cash purse was yes terday increased to $62O. Of this sum $372O goes to the winner, $1550 to the driver finishing second, $62O for the third position and $31O as fourth place money. San Diego, by popular subscription and in a few hours rais- ed $3,O0O for the total purse. Phoe- nix they raised one thousand dollars equally as fast. Over in Phoenix they have way of doing things with a whirl.
 The eleven-car race to be started from Los Angeles the same day of the San Diego race and which will also finish at Phoenix, appears as a side show to the San Diego-Phoenix speed contest San Diego steps to the front with twice as many entrants and also has the lead over the northern race from the financial end, the San Diego even being 5000 richer in cash alone . Bad Reports from Other Routes
