Sensible Women Know
Foundation Of Health

As health talks 10 women become
more general, both in the newspapers
and on the platform, the mass Of
women are beginning to realize what
the more cultivated have always known,
that good health cannot be found in a
powder box. The externals of health
may be obtained in that way, but the
basis of health lies deeper. and yet is
just as easily obtained.
The most important thing that wom-
an can do for herself and about which
she Is often most neglectful, is to watch
the condition of her stomach and
bowels. The weary eyes, the bad
breath, the frequent headaches, the
pimples, the great air of lassitude, Is
nine times out of ten the result of con-
stipaton or indigestion, or both. Many
simple remedies can he obtained but
the best in the estimation of most wom-
en- is DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. 1t
is mild, pleasant to the taste, and
exactly suited to her needs. 1t is far
The Washington times., 1912-03-08

superior to salts, cathartic pills, waters,
etc, which are entirely too violent
Women should see to II that they
have at least one movement of the
bowels each day, and when showing
any tendency to constipation should
take DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin I'm the
small dose prescribed. A brief use OF
IL will 80 train the stomach and bowel
muscles that all forms of medicine can
be dispensed with. These opinions are
voiced by thousands of women, after
personal experience, among them Mrs.
NJ. l.. Hughes, 1904 ing St, Whining
ton, Del, and Miss Rose Walker, 1893
N. 9th ST., Richmond Va.

Julia Murdock Tells Hoqv AuthoreSS
Of "Baby Nine" Got Inspiration

A newspaper article with this head
ing, Adopted Babies" was Margaret
Mayos inspiration for her play, Baby
Nine" which Is to be seen in Washing
ton at the Belasco Theater next week.
The newspaper article was under a
Chicago date line and 1t stated that in
Chicago alone there were at least 1000
fathers dandling infants that were not
their own, but babies adopted by their
wives, and the fathers none the wiser.
With this idea in her mind as a topic
for play, Margaret Mayo sat down at
her desk, and did not leave ii until the
wee hours of the morning, at which
time she had completed an outline for
her comedy. Her idea for the title was
had finished 1t, with her manuscripts
under her arm, she wended her way to
the office of q big producing firm, and
mere read her play. The manager
mented her upon her efforts, but told
her that they could not produce it.
Then she took her manuscript to Will
lam A. Brady, who had previouslJ pro-
duced her earlier play, "Divorcons,' u
and he told her that he would read her
work at his earliest opportunity.
Two weeks elapsed, then three, and
she had not heard from Mr.. Brady
Exasperated at the delay, she took her
play to another firm, who heard II
read, and told her they would consider
It, She had begun to give up hope, but
upon reaching home there was a tele-
gram from Mr.. Brady saying that hc
had read her comedy and decided tC
give It a trial.
He also suggested that she rechrister
1t, and call it Baby Nine" and this
suggestion was gratefully received and
acted upon.

Put In Rehearsal
Afterward Miss Mayo spent about a
week making the comedy over, smooth.

The result of her labor is now thea

1t is not often that the world hears

| of the most successful plays of the
| season, a play that is getting a strangle'

weekly. Miss Mayo does this, and while
The Washington times., 1912-03-08

her pennant winner is Baby Nine"
she has written other plays that nave
been successful.
Strange to say, Miss Mayo is the wife
of another playwright, Edgar Selwyn,
and between them TREY seem to nave
a tendency to monopolize the market.
1t is an unusual thing for play-Wrlt-
ing wife to have a husband in the same
business.
Seiwyn's first step toward this end
was as an actor. Before this he had
been a clerk in mems furnishing store.
He made his first appearance as al,
actor in Augustus Thomas Arizona,
creating the part of Tony, the MeXlcail'
making Of It a sensational success.
Shortly after this, Husband Selwyn be
gan his hand at play writing, but WIN
little success. The wife was more sue
cessful She made the dramatization OF
"The Marriage of William Ashe," played
by Miss Grace George, and later was
commissioned by william A. Brady 70
make a translations of SardouS ~
vorcons." Miss Mayo also wrote Polly
of the Circus" that pretty little play
which was seen here in the Academy
last week, and which is one OF the
most successful dramas Of its sort ever
written.
Wife Way Ahead
Of Her Husband.
At this time the wife was ahead or
the husband, but he was having Dig
plans while she was having big sue
cesses. One day opportunity came along
in the shape of an invitation to write
sketch for the Lambs Club for one
of their entertainments. For long
time he had been thinking of writing
drama about the boarding house In
New York where he had lived during
his clerkship days. The four principal
characters were the landlady, chorus
girl, a newspaper cub, and country
boy The sketch was a success, and
taking this as an encouragement he de-
Cided to write a full-lenEth drama,
which he called The Country Boy. and
which, after a successful out-of-town
premiere, was taken to New York
where it scored an Immediate success
1t was while he was working at this
play that his wife was writing BABY
Mime" one of the biggest laughing
successes of the century.
There are many theater-goers In
Washington who will remember Miss
! Mayo, as she is still known, as an ac'

Poultry is becoming scarce on local

Practically all poultry raisers are

CATTLE LOSS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA

ABERDEEN, Jan. 19.-Pitiful stor-
les of distress in the homestead coun-
try reach Aberdeen with the opening
up OF railway traffic after the isola.
ton of the settlers for the last three
weeks.
Letters which were received in Alb
erdeen yesterday, and which were
verified by people from that country
who have reached here. state that
cattle are dying by hundreds on the
prairie, and provisions of all kinds are
practically exhausted.
From Timber Lake comes word
that groceries and fuel have held out
so far, but that it is estimated that
only twenty tons of coal remain. In
formation which had reached that
place from Isabel, TWO stations far.
Their west, however, was that the en-
tire supply of provisions had been ex-
hausted and that the shallow wells,
the main water supply of the place,
had frozen solid. In order that the
restitution OF the people CT the town
and surrounding country might be to
some extent relieved wagons had gone
TO Timber Lake and also to Lennon
seventy-five miles distant, to secure
coal, groceries and kerosene.
All over the prairie dead cattle are
to be seen. While horses. have been
able to paw through the snow and
thus find some nourishment, cattle
had to starve for the reason that
there is neither hay nor feed for
them to eat, and their carcasses, froz-
en- in the depths Of snow, line the
trails in every direction.
With their characteristic courage,
however, the homesteaders still are
hc3eful, trusting that with the recent
of the weather, the rail-
roads will henceforth be able to bring
trains in and replenish the exhaust
ed supply Of provisions, feed and fuel.
