Urge FRIEDMAN TO COME.
Will be Given Opportunity 10 Test
His Cure Here.

Richmond, Va, March 27.--Should
Dr.. Friedrich Friedman find it pos
sille to visit Virginia. he has been
assured by officers of the State Board
of Health a most hearty welcome and
every possible facility for demon
st! Eating his cure.
Health Commissioner Williams in cX-
tending this invitation to DR.. Freid-
mann wrote the German savant that
tic patients at the State Sanatorl-
IN, at Catawba would welcome him
Hish open arms and that the stan
at the sanitorium would render HIM
every possible assistance in making
a thorough demonstration OF h4s
treatment. "From many parts OF the
State" wrote DR.. Williams, eve
have received requests that We do
our utmost to bring you TO Virginia
ard give you opportunity of demon
St atinp YOUR new tuberculosis cure.
We gladly second these requests as
We think the duty of public health
officers should be to encourage lnvcS-
tic,ators in every legitimate way pos
sihle.'
The States health officers will do
THAR utmost TO bring DR.. Friedmam
10 Virginia to give his cure fair
test but are anxious that their lnvi-
tat;on to the German scientist be not
understood. owe are open to convlc-
ticn." said an officer Of the Board dis
cussing the matter this morning, we
sincerely hope that DR.. Friedmann'S
d;,covery is valuable and we certain
" shall not be party to any effort
to discredit it in advance. AS bac-
teriologist of experience, DR.. Fried
man is entitled to the most respectful
consideration. He will receive it il
he can come to Virginia"
"We are. however, most anxious
that the public and especially the con-
sumptives of the State defer Judg-
mcnt until the Friedman remedy has
been tried long enough and under
conditions sufficiently diverse to dem
onstrate its merit. The fact that
some of the patients given the treat
ment have shown marked improve
mcnt should not be accepted as proof.
Under existing methods Of treatment,
many consumptives improve from the
very first, end at the State SANTA
rum. as at other sanitoria through
out the country, some patients gain
weight from the very day of their
admission. DR.. Friedman nhas treat
ed a number Of early incipient cases,
some of whom would have improved
if given the open-air treatment. This
does not mean that this remedy has
no merit; it rather means that the
merit of his cure has not yet been
proved.
"We hope the doctor can come to
this State and give more compre-
hensive test,
The public need not fear that Viz
einia will be backward in this mat
ter. No question of professional eth
les is involved, and even if there were
this would not stand in the way Of
giving DR.. Friedman fair chance
to prove his case. Should the last
ING merits of his treatment be prov
ed. the State Anti-Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION will raise fund and will
see that the remedy is purchased for
distribution in Virginia.

for this effort is that the production is
repeatedly written about and spoken

stage accuracy and artistry the Ameri-

And perhaps II didn't take some time,
money, and trouble to collect the prop
critics for ''Kismet.'
There is one man who knows. and
that is Edward Knoblauch, the author
of the play. Some of them he brought
back from Tunis with him, for he did
a great deal of work on his manuscript

next week, one Of the most remarkable
plays OF the present century.
I am not a mechanician, SO It is i'm
possible for me to 20 into details re-
gardinr the enoromus amount Of work
that must be accomplished upon the
stage on which the play Of "Kismet"
Is set, before 1t is ready for the pro-
duction For days the stage of the Ma
tional Theater has resounded with the
tap Of the carpenters hammers, and the
noise of plumbers. steamfitters' and
wiremen's tools. Practically the entire
floor Of the stage has been torn away
to make accommodation for the huge
steel tank, which is used In one Of the
most remarkable scenes in "Kismet,
where Hail, the begsar, browns his
enemy. y
To properly create the Oriental atmos-
phere, and to present the play with as
close attention to detail as possible. the
markets OF the East have been secured
for hangtngs and other accessories. The
stage nowadays must present q picture
that is absolutely accurate. down TO
the most minute detail in setting, cos
tunes, and accessories or else the
producer must go to the other extreme
and offer an impressionistic picture,
such as Prof. Max Reinhardt has
brought into vogue.
Most Expert Critics
Can Find No Fault.
No half measures have been deemed
sufficient in "Kismet." The play is
presented So perfectly that in it even
the expert can find no flaw. To make
this possible, specialists on pretty
nearly every subject under the sun have
been engaged. and in "Kismet" no
anachronism Is to be discovered.
The desire Of the management of this
play for perfection Of detail has led
them into large expenditures. In the
production every possible effort was
made to represent life in the Orient
faithfully and minutely. and the reward

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE DwARF's CAP.

II ANS and Gretchen were two nice
~. Dutch children that lived near
each other In a village not far
from the hills IN which were big
quartz mines. And like the other little
ones Of the neIghborhood. they were
afraid to 20 up in the hills Alone.
You know that the dwarfs Of the
mines are very mean people," the grown
up folks would say. and you must
never venture up there by yourselves"
But one warm spring day Gretchen
went out looking for flowers and saw
tiny wounded bird hopping away frcm
the patch. She felt SO sorry for the
little creature that she followed after
II. But no matter how fast she walked.
the bird flew on lust a bit faster. At
last the girl noticed that 1t was dark
and that she had wandered far up on
the sides of the hills in which lived the
bad dwarfs
As she turned to run back a brown
dwarf sprang out from behind a bush.
'.Ah. an" he laughed. thought 1
could fool you with that bird. knew
you would follow 1T up here and we
would be able to take you to our cav
erns.'
Then he grabbed the child by the hand
and pushed her towards big hole In a
huge rock. As soon as they got in the
dwarf hid the entrance with q bush,
then took Gretchen down into the earth
to where the dwarfs had a great
kitchen.
Here you must stay and cook for US
till some one Of the people from the
world above find you here and set you
free" said the wicked little man.
But people from the earth above
never come down here-;hey don't know
the way" laughed another small man.
"And the only thing that would help
them would be to wear one Of our caps
But they can never get one Of those"
So poor Gretchen was put at the kettle
to boil dinner. and there they wished to
keep her day and night the rest of her
lifs.
But when her mother missed her from
h0@s. the whole village was alarmed
an set out on a search. Hans led every
one. and at last far up on the hills by
a big rock they found one tiny wooden
shoe ana red ribbon that had tied her
hair
II know now what Is the matter"
said Hans. In anger. lone OF those
wicked dwarfs has taken her OFF, will
watch right here till make them bring
her back"
So under a fir tree Hans hid. At last
about midnight he heard a noise. and
out OF the rock came a troop Of dwarfs
In a noisy crowd. They were dressed
in green robes trimmed with white, but
on their heads were funny red caps.
Around and around they spun. singing
at the top of their voices,
Merry men are We,
Happy as can be.
AS they swung near Hans he reach
ed out and seized the red cap from the
nearest ones head, for he knew that
with this on he could find his way safe
" into their cavern homes. Then as
the dwarfs ran down into the earth he
followed closely at their heels. As they
clattered down the dark path Hans set
I'D a yell, and this frightened them.
They knew that one Of the earth people
had on a fairy cap and could find his

Not until lately did the dealers be-

strikingly lifeIike. and of a rich shade,
while the Sl.70 punches are made OF both

regular boutonnieres are from 30 cents
TO several dollars. according to their
pensive flowers are necessarily more
costly.

Bazaar Bargaining
An Art In Itself.

The bazars of Constantinople, Smyrna
and Cairo offer entertaining little
dramas in themselves, whether one be
DESTROYS of spending a few piastres or
a large sum of money. The haggling
and pickering, so the property man told
me, the exaggeration of the value OF
the wares by a merchant, who calls
upon Allah to witness the truth OF his
statements; the skillful manipulation OF
the dragoman, intent upon getting his
commission, and the inevitable argu-
ment over backshish-these things are
highly amusing and interesting, II one
possesses a sense of humor.
The bazar, the property man assured
me is one of the most fascinating
places in all the world to visit. II Is
the grandfather of the modern depart
ment store. for In II one may buy al
most anything. from cradle to cof-
fin. and all one needs on the journey
between these two. The quantity and
variety of the second hand articles Of
fered for sale is accounted for by the
fact that in Mohammedan countries
when the head OF the household dies.
II is necessary to sell everything In or
der that a fair distribution may be
made between the various wives OF the
deceased For this reason. the same
curios, objects OF art, and books reap
pear on the market with the passing
of each generation.
