WASHINGTON

Democratic party leaders will ask
President Wilson to send a message
to Congress urging that a way be
found to permit men of ability but no
great wealth to serve the United
States as Ambassadors in the great
capitals abroad.
According to the President, the
American Diplomatic Service "is un
necessarily hampered' through the in
ability of any except men "of large
means and leisure" to make the sacri.
fees required in the acceptance of po-
sitions as ENJOYS of their govern
ment.
President Wilson and Congress
leaders planned radical currency and
banking reform to be undertaken at
the extra session.

is little hope of clear weather through

The damage and suffering which
have already resulted and which are

us that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, SCOTS Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in a weakened system.
The tested and proven value Of
Scott's Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assimilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
DEMONSTRATING blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in tuber-
culosis camps because of its rare
bodybuilding, b1ood-making prop
critics and because it contains no.
alcohol or habit-forming drug.
Be sure to insist on SCOTS. &

only sure way Of making q basket was
to make q cute angle. l also noticed
that some Of the boys got some pretty
hard bumps; but being near the roofing
line I cheered them UP by saying,
there are no gains without palms."
Some Of the players were not sure OF
their basket shooting and at one time ]
had to stop the game for a few minutes
to advise n hesitatina player. who
was about to shoot a basket. that since
he was not sure of the basket he
shouldn't throw the ball. My logic did
not seem to appeal to some of the fans
as l heard a few boots. l was kept
still for q while. but was aroused by the
length Of time it was taking the ''Dubs''

by shouting that "'Tis hard for an

l wonder who that sleepy-lookina
guard is? He was the un-happy-es,
looking fellow l ever saw. 1 tried to
put a little life in him by telling him
that the ''sleeping fox catches no chick
ems" but it didn't do any good. Then
there was the ''Billican'' playing for
ward. He couldn't get away from his
guard so I told him that the way ia
get around q guard vas to describe an
arc. The other forward was just like q
snake. He seemed to be everywhere at
once. I was reminded that the old
proverb, who undertakes many things
at once seldom does anything we'll, .
is not always true. The "Billican''
played center the last half of the game.
His opponent was about a foot taller
than he was and it was impossible fol
the ''Billican'' to get the ball or to &c,
away after he jumped, as the other fell
low was always in the road. / told the
''Billican'' that where he couldn't e
around he must crawl under. 1t wa.
easy to see that the substitute haG
never had much practice. After watch.

old saying that many without practice

was because he was supposed to take
the place Of any one of the regular play

the HANS HANSON COMPANY
HERE THURSDAY, OCT 81

The Hans Hanson Company, which
will be the Offering at the opera house
October 30th, has been on the. road con-
tinuously for fifteen years and for the
past six years two companies have been
presenting this ever popular play. 1t
has been in every state and territory
in the Union, with possibly two excep-
tions. and last season one company
toured Canada. where the play met
with the same remarkable reception
that has characterized its tour of the
United States. The popularity Of the
play is not limited to any particular
section. Wherever 1t goes it is the
same story-crowded houses and de-
lighted audiences. Other plays that
have been before the public deteriorate
aud frequently managers foist inferior
companies on the public with low
salaried sctors in the principal roles.
Mr.. McAlpin has always kept his COM
panies up to standard and that is prob
ably the reason for his remarkable
success with this sterling comedy.
Year after year the companies visit the
various cities fortunate enough to be on
their routes and invariably the com.
panies are. equal to those of previous
years. and from time to time improve
ments are being made that strengthen
the organization. This season the
vaudeville portion of the show has re-
ceiyed MI. McAlpine's careful attention.
Five frst-class vaudeville members add
great strength to the performance.
