to Miss Jewell and Mr.. Van Buren, to
say that the scene last night had the
same old effect of dampening the eyes,
Tightening the throat and winning SIM
pathy for the wife In trouble.
This praise Of the second scene does not
mean that the other three acts were not
well PLAYED or lacked a true appeal. The
work of the company was uniformly good.
Especially notable Is the fact that the
last act was not as harsh as when pre-
scented by the original company.
After the two principals, the greatest
responsibilities were upon Louise
Kent as Mrs. Howard Jeffries, sr. She
played the role with sympathy and a re-
assuring confidence that demonstrated an
improvement in her work in the stock
company. Particularly in that great sec
ond act did she improve in full measure
a big opportunity. The role of Capt
Clinton. who cleaned up his precinct
proved congenial for Duncan Penwarden,
and he made the police captain a domi-
neering prosecutor and staggering ward
boss. Mark Kent was excellent in the
hard and unsympathetic role Of Howard
Jeffries, ST.
Although the first three scenes were in
three different parts OF New York city,
the same house across the street could be
seen through the rear windows of all
three places. In the original production
the light that struck the revolver and
hypnotized the weakened Jeffries came
from lamp hung directly above: in last
nights production the light was concealed
behind pile OF books on table in a
place where lights are not likely to

window showed the light of day outside
although 1t was supposed to be night and
the lights in the home were all ablaze.

Three thousand five hundred dollars
in two days is the slogan of the COM
mittee on the summer outings rally
days tomorrow and Thursday Of this
week. Two theaters and several Of
the large stores will maintain summer
outings booths near their entrances.
where people visiting them will find a
way to make their contributions to
the summer outings work. These
booths will be in charge of volunteer
workers who have been preparing for
some time to make the rally days a
success.
This is the first time that anything
of the kind has been attempted by the
summer outings committee. Owing to
the need of increased funds because
of the enlargement of work by the ad-
pital, 1t is explained. more money has
to be raised in order to carry on the
work.

FORMULA FOR TONIC SPONGE BATH

Alcohol eight ounces, sea salt four

monia two ounces, spirits camphor
two ounces, carbolic acid ten drops.
Pulverize the sea salt; put the in

bowl; fill it with boiling water. Let
stand until cool and bottle for use.
Wet a sponge or wash cloth in the
solution, go quickly over the entire
body and dry with a coarse towel.
This may be used two or three times
a week and is a substitute for sea
water.
Any person feeling weak and tired
will find this solution of great benefit.
One should try using it at night and
also in the morning and watch the
result; then use it at the time when
the most benefit is derived.

was put in to the depth of foot;
over this layer the lot soil was spread
