1.-THE Servant in the House," the
most widely discussed play presented
on the American stage in the past dec
ade, is to be presented at Royal hall on
Wednesday, March 18th. Gaskell and
MacVitty are sending the greatest cast
of players, headed by Hugo B. Koch,
ever seen in the middle west, and low
ers of fine acting and fine drama are
thus assured of theatrical event of
unusual Importance. ''The Servant in
the House" has been acclaimed by
critics from ocean to ocean as being
one of the most remarkable and in
tensely human plays ever written in
the English language. It's central
character, strange man attired in
Oriental garb, who acts as a butler of
an English vicar, and whose subtle in
f1uence changes the lives of all with
whom he comes in contact, is intended
as an embodiment of the Christ spirit
if not as the reincarnation of the Saw
Tor of man himself, and the message
which the play brings to those who are
thoughtful enough to care for mes
sages is that the finest thing in the
world is the love of ones brother.

Horse Meat for Wild Animals.

With a view of lessening the cost of
food for their wild animals, Ringing
Bros. of Baraboo are advertising far
and wide for old but sound horses. They
give the assurance that they will put
the horses out of this world in the most
humane manner. Diseased horses are
rejected.
According to DR.. Deadman the kill
ing of the horses is accomplished with
out causing a bit of suffering. The
animals are shipped to Baraboo and for
some time they are well fed and well
watered. When their meat is desired
the horses are given big dose of bro
mide of potash which puts them to
sleep. After an hour or two a sharp
instrument in the shape of needle is
stuck into the head behind the ear and
death ensues Immediately without suf-
fering.

A NEW USE
FOR THE APPENDIX

New York, Aug. 13.-Dr. 1sraei
Feinberg. president of the board of
coroners, announced yesterday that
he had arrived at a new conclusion
with regard to the history of the YER
meform appendix in the human being
and its utility. DR.. Feinberg has
spent fifteen year in the study of the
appendix, seeking a cure for appen-
dicitis and to discover the purpose of
the organ in the human structure.
Briefly, DR.. Feinberg believes that
the appendix is of vital Importance
to the unborn child. After the birth
OF the child, DR.. Feinberg declares,
the utility of the appendix is at an
end, n the organ gradually afro
phles until in mature life it Stimulates
a rudimentary mass of tissue.
The appendix is found in an en-.
larged state in the child before birth1
DR.. Feinberg said.
AS is commonly known, the child
at that period possesses several or
cans that differ greatly from those
which are found Immediately after
birth, when he begins to breathe and
take nourishment-for instance the
heart. the lungs and the internal tract.
IN my opinion h appendix has some
action In relation to the in
testinal canal until the time of birth.
After the birth of a child. when
the appendix ceases t function, an
other valve known as the ileoceocal
axe up its work, so tina the same
results are achieved by nature through
another organ"

says Miss Evans. There is an un-
used opportunity to stimulate the
mind through the family conversation.
Formal education in the home-maker
is not essential in securing a stimulat-
ing mental atmosphere; an aspiring
nature and determined effort are the
only requirements. Lincoln's mother
knew the way to do it and Bunyan's
wife enabled the pilgrim to become a
great writer.
