Boston Woman Arranging to
Erect Model Playhouse.
She Aims at Moral Growth-Reading-
Room and Lunch Stand IN Rear Of
Stage VIII Aid Comfort Of the
Performers.


Boston. Mass.-Mrs. Josephine Gle
ment, probably the best-known woman
theatrical manager in the country. has
a scheme for a model theater which
she hopes to build within a few
months.
She has not yet decided where she
will erect the theater, but she has
abundant financial backing by per-
sons who have been attracted by her
success with the theater Of which for
several years she has been the man
ager.
1t is to be a theater in which ev-
cry seat will give an unobstructed
view of the stage. The cost of a seat
will be ten cents and the entertain
ments will be Of a type that will have
the approval Of leaders in the "uplift
movement" throughout y the United
States.
1T will be different from anything
there is in the United States" said
Mrs. Clement. only performances Of
the highest class will be given and
the theater will be unique, as 1t will
have light and air on all four sides.
1T will have dignifed entrances,
and everything inside will be arranged
for the comfort of the patrons and the
actors
Il believe that actors who have
brains enough to amuse audiences are
entitled to as much as the patrons.
and that is why there will be as good
an entrance in the back for them as
there is for the public in front.
ACTORS who are satisfied with their
surroundings will cooperate with the
management, and that Means success
for the theater."

ton Of Mrs. Clement, has made a fea-
ture of moving pictures, and It is her

theater. but they will be of a type
different from any now in general use.
There will be nothing in them to Of
fend. and they will be entirely free
from the weird features which have
brought forth criticisms from clergy
men all over the world.

lures that viii educate and aid In up

Of Days Work.

Of a Days Work.
If you are a calomel user, next time
you are tempted to buy it ask your
druggist if he can absolutely guarantee
the drug not to harm you. He won't
do it because he CAN'T do it.
But here is a perfect substitute for
calomel which the druggist does guar,
antee - the famous Dodson's Liver Tone.
s. L. Raines will refund your money
without question if you are not thor
oughly satisfied.
Go to S. L. Raines whom you are &C
quainted with-and find out about the
great number Of people who are taking
this remarkable remedy and feeling bet
ter, keener, healthier, and better able
to enjoy life than they ever were when
taking calomeL
Why? Because calomel is a poison
one that may stay in the system, and
while seeming to benefit you temporar-
lily, may do harm in the end. If you
haven't felt these il~l-etrects so far, tits
because you are unfortunate enough to
have a strong constitution.
Don't take the risk any longer. Get
a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone Soc
and note how easily and naturally it
corrects all bilious conditions, how it
clears away that sick headache and
coated tongue, how it sets you right
without ache or gripe. The most won
ferful thing in the world for constipa-
ton.
All this without the slightest inter
ference with your regular habits.

The people of South Londonderry,
like those of many other towns, are
interested over the likelihood of a
change of postmasters as a result of
the Democratic administration. 1t is
not on record that they are up in arms
against change, but an article in
their home paper indicates a feeling
that the patrons of the Office ought to
have something to say about the selec
ton. In this attitude they are fully
justified, If a new man IS to have
the job he ought to be one whose rec
onmendation comes from the people
rather than from some politician with
a pull.

The news from the farmers is very
encouraging, while the other industries
are in reverse state. Not only are
grain crops in the best condition for
years, but the area planted has sensi-
bly, increased. 1t was larger last year
than the year before, and again this
year the acreage of such crops as are
far enough advanced to determine the
acreage is also enlarged. The cotton
area will be seven per cent ahead of
last year and the corn area will also
be enlarged. The result of this con
dition of area and climatic influence is
that the prices of farm produce gener-
ally show a declining tendency in spite
of an almost stationary price for many
other commodities. But in the long
run the controlling element in the gen
eral price making is the price of foods.
If they are made low by the efforts of
man and nature combined, other things
cannot long stay high, no matter what
the production of gold is.

While the people of Vermont are de-
batting whether or not the science of
road construction has reached point
that will warrant the state in bonding
for the purpose of building few hun
dred miles of highway, other states are
going ahead with the construction of
roads on large scale and leaving US
far behind. New Hampshire has just
appropriated a million dollars with
with which to build a series of cross
state highways to supplement the trunk
lines that extend Iengthwise of the
state. Massachusetts is continually
spending money on really good roads.
Vermont, it is true, is doing little
something along that line but not near
~ enough to keep pace with adjoining
states. Why should we hesitate over a

The MeddLer
"If the coat fits you, PIT ii on. "

There is a law on the statute books,
passed by the legislature of 1910,
which provides that persons or cor
porations that wish to dig up any pub
lie highway for the purpose of laying
pipes or wires must first secure a per
NIT from the seleetmen, and that the
digging shall be done under supervis-
ion of the selectmen, who have the
authority to have it done in case the
work of filling is not satisfactory. The
Meddler presumes that the local select
men are aware of the existence of this
law and are taking advantage Of its
provisions, There are a number of
places in the principal streets where
carelessuess in filling bitches has left
depressions that are at once annoying
and dangerous.

ADVERTISING A GUARANTEE.

Advertised goods are goods the quail
ity of which has been certified. The
public looks at them much as it looks
at a certified check. 1t knows that
good money has been put into them, so
that the merchant has faith that they
will prove satisfactory.
The business world is full of cheats
and frauds. The public has many times
been disappointed, even in buying goods
of merchants supposed to be reliable.
Hence its attitude is one of great sus-
piciOn, not so much perhaps of the hon
esty of the merchant, as of whether he
really knows his goods and has tested
them out.
Under these circumstances, advertis-
ing is the determining factor that con-
vinces the questioning mind. The buy
err argues that if the seller has faith
enough to subject his goods to the scru-
tiny of advertising publicity, if he has
faith enough to spend money telling
people about them, he must have tried
| them out thoroughly, and must know
positively that they will give satisfac-
ion. It regards any knowing deceit
under these circumstances as incon-
ceivable.
AS a result of this public attitude
the merchant understands that his faith
and reputation are staked on the full
fillment of his advertising pledges.
That is why modern advertising is SC
very truthful. A lie in an advertise
ment would mean peck of trouble
while a lie over the counter would be
known to but one person. When a
merchant disposes of line of goods
through advertising he is careful to LEI
the public know what the real value
is, so that there shall be no ome-back
Thus buying advertised goods is buy
ing under the white light of public
scrutiny. The merchant goes share,
with you on your purchase. You have
bought his wares, but he has paid down
the cost of the goods and the cost o
advertising to buy your satisfaction
When you buy under these conditions
you know something about what yo'
are getting.

OUR QUESTION BOX

Please tell me through the Question
Box when Home, Sweet Home. was
written-by whom and the circum-
stances surrounding its composition.
1t was while strolling one morning
through town in southern Italy that
John Howard Payne heard from the
lips of a peasant girl what is believed
to have been an old Sicilian melody.
This he asked her to repeat, iotting
down as she did so the notes, as near
as his limited knowledge of music
would permit. Later, when he wrote
Clari, the Maid of Milan,' which
proved to be the great success of the
London theatrical season of 1928, this
air was the feature of the production.
However, the author received only $3.50
for the entire opera, and for the song,
not so much as complimentary copy.
Payne 5 work as editor and publisher
of critical journal, at the age of IA;
his ability as an actor and author of
tragedies and his services to his coun-
frye in diplomatic service are no long
er remember; but the song of Home,
Sweet Home, is sung today by the
humblest peasantry of Europe, and in
her stateliest places. Religion, phara-
phrasing the words and adopting the
music, has pressed both into her sol
emn service. 1t is the sweetest lullaby
the mother ever sings.
The author, since the death of his
mother when he was boy of i, never
knew what it was to have home of
his own, and died in loneliness in a
foreign land, in 1852, at the age of so.
Twenty years later his ashes were
brought across the Atlantic, and rever-
emily and tenderlv re-interred at the
capital of our common country, to the
music of a thousand instruments and
voices as they blended in the immortal
melody OF Home, Sweet Home. -

Why are flags half-masted and what
was the occasion for starting the Gus
tom2
Ever since flags were used in war it
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the virtors
to be placed above it on the same pole.
This was a token, not only of submits
sion, but Of respect.
In those days, when afamous soldier
died, flags were lowered out of respect
to his memory. The custom long ago
passed from purely military usage to
public life of all kinds, the flag at
half-staff being sign that the dead
man was worthy of universal respect.
The space left above it is for the flag
of the great conquerer Of all-the an
gel of death.
