Boiled Rice.

First wash the rice In cold water.
Then place rice in medium sized
stewpan with the water two inches
above the rice. This quantity Of wa
ter must remain the same during the
boiling. AS soon as the water boils
the heat must be lowered. Boil SLOW
ly for half an hour Tho stewpan COW
er must be kept on the rice and not
lifted during the boiling. That is the
secret OF Chinese success in rice boil
ing. 1t must not be stirred. It will
then come out snowy white and every
grain will be whole.

ALCOHOL HURTS THE MEMORY
Karl Vost, Distinguished German
Naturalist, Gives Result OF Inter.
esting Experiments.

To the Medical Annual for 1917
we are indebted for the following:
Karl vogt, the distinguished German
naturalist, found that alcohol had a
deleterious effect on the memory.
After taking about one ounce Of al
cohol after breakfast, he found that
he required a longer time to learn
OF by heart a portion Of Greek verse.
If the alcohol was taken on an empty
stomach this action was much moro
marked, and was seen with a smaller
dose. On revising his work some
months later, he found that the lines
learned under the influence Of alcohol
were more imperfectfy remembered
than those learned on the days when
no alcohol was used"

SECRET SERVICE" IS
= COLUMBIA OFFERING
Gillette's Civil War Drama to
Be Revived, With Lead in
Van Buren's Hands.

The overpowering quality of love. that
upsets all mems calculations, will be
The theme this week at the Columbia
Iheater, where the Columbia Players
nave prepared a revival of William
Giilette's civil war drama, Secret
Service"
While the scenes are laid in Richmond
at the most exciting time of the civil
war. with the roar of artillery and the
exciting movement of troops playing a
constant accompaniment to the con-
trast!ng scenes of love in which a
scheming Northern spy lays siege to
the heart of a Southern beauty only to
eventually lay himself captive at her
feet. these very love scenes dominate
and overshadow the entire play.
Captain Thorne has been detailed by
the secret service of tie Federal army
TO obtain control over the head
quarters telegraph office with view to
sending false dispatch to one of the
commanding generals directing him to
withdraw his troops from given point.
He ingratiates himself into the good
graces of daughter of a Confederate
general, and through her secures the
Getail as officer in charge of the tele-
graph office.
But in the meantime, his love for
her hsss become genuine, and he refuses
to avail himself of his opportunity be-
cause of the compromising position in
which il would place his trusting sweet
heart. How he is discovered, court
martialed, sentenced to death, and
finally saved for a happy union with his
little rebel is prettily told in the con-
cluding scenes of the play.
The part of Captain Thorne, originally
played by Mr.. Gillette himself, will be
played oy A. H. Van Buren, with Helen
Holmes in the role of Edith Varney.
the daughter Of the Confederacy. The
cast will also include William Robert
son as the suspicious Arrelsford; Everett

POLLS STOCK CAST
TO GIVE MRS. W|GGS"
Five Finley Children Engaged
to Take Part of Children in
cabbage Patch

Mrs. Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch,
that delightful Kentucky character who
was first introduced to the American
public in the novel of that name by
Mrs. Alice Hogan Rice. will be the
offering of Poll Players this week.
when each of the favortes will be seen
in character studies entirely different
from any they have attempted in the
past.
This play has enjoyed phenomenal
success in this country for the last ten
years. and was equally successful In
London and Australia. Its wholesome
yet homely philosophy appears to all
classes of players. and while the plot
is not sensational in its ramifications
and development, the episodes which
are set forth on the stage are highly
diverting and entirely removed from
the threadbare situations and scenes
OF the usual comedy drama
The first scene of the play deals with
the marriage of Miss Hazy to Mr..
Stubbins. Mr.. Stubbins is the product
of a matrimonial agency. He is mar
rying Miss Hazy because he has eaten
some of Mrs. Wigs pies and believed
that his bride-to-be Is the wondeerfui
cook. Miss Hays reason for marrying
Is SIMPLY lHdl Sne Is III tu VI pcihS
an old maid. All the characters in the
story are introduced at the wedding.
except Mr.. Wigs, who ran away from
the cabbage patch as soon as his wife
children became So numerous as to de-
stroy the peace of the household.
In the second act, Mr.. Stubbins falls
from grace and the water wagon. 1t Is
at Mrs. Wigs suggestion that he is
bundled into a freight car and shipped
away. But in the third act the bride
groom returns, as does also Mr.. Wiggs.
and two grass widows are made happy.
The tender episode of Lovey Mary and
the founding Little Tommy, is a pc
culiarly appealing feature of the story,
while the love interest is supplied by
a young couple interested in settlement
work.
In addition to the regular Poll Com
pany there will be a number of new
names in the cast. The Five Finleys. a
remarkable family of children from
New York will impersonate the Wigs
children-Asia Europena. and Australia
and Chris Hazy, the one-legged boy.
and Michel Viney.
