5000 francs at roulette or 10000 francs

A writer in Country Life In America
gives some advice on the bringing up
Of dog. As he tells it, the process
looks easy enough. The first and most
important lesson for pup to learn 10
to stop anything he may be doing when
you say STOP and to continue when
you say "All right" II well learned
this will explain to him all future COM
mands. After this comes the lesson to
lie down when you command Down
and to stay down while you leave him
For this latter it is best to tie him to
something and then If he does not drop
when you call Down" from distance
return quickly and, scolding, push min
down forcibly. A caress and taste Of
food should be his reward If he does
right.

DON'T TAKE THE,
WRONG MEDICINE
II Your uusF Gets Lazy You Ksed . uvsl
Tonic, Not Merely Laxative For 1hs
Bowels.

Many people take a simple laxative
when their liver gets sluggish rather
than take calOmel, which they know
to be dangerous. But mere laxative
will not start a sluggish liver. WHAT
is needed is a tonic that will liven up
the liver without forcing you to ay
at home and lose day from your
business.
You have such a tonic In Dodson's
Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone
must be all they claim for IL heca use
they guarantee ~ To take the place Of
dangerous calnme and agree to hand
back the money with Il smile tn any
person who tries Dodsnn's Liver Tone
and is not satisfied with the relief it
gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is o harmless
vegetable liquid with pleasant tas tie,
and is a prompt and reliable remedy
for constipation, biliousness, sour
stomach, and the other troubles that
come from a torpid liver.
MacVea Young, druggist, give it
their personal guarantee and II YOU
will ask about this guarantee you will
protect yourself against limitations
that are not guaranteed. Large bot
tie of Dndsou's Liver Tone Is so cents.

New York, May 24.-SeIdom has
a more pulchritudinous chorus
graced musical production than
that which dances and sings through
'Iolanthe," the latest Gilbert and Sui
Ivan revival at the Casino. With no
desire whatever to knock Mr.. Hop

must be admitted that whoever Sc

One Of the most interesting pro-
auctions promised for the coming
season is Henning Berger's '"The
DeIuge," which will be offered by Ar
thur Hopkins, and will probably open
in Chicago.
There is a curious reason why this
play is to have its first American
presentation in the Windy. City in
stead of New York. Henning Berger,
who is native of Sweden, came to
America in 1863 and went direct to
Chicago. There he had hard strug-
gle. He was a street car conductor,
a draughtsman, a reporter. One day,
out of work and out of money, he
stepped into the doorway of saloon
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-05-24

to get out of a shower. There, also
seeking shelter, were several other
persons whose conversation inter
terested Berger, and they are now
characters in '"The'Deluge."
Berger returned to Sweden several
years ago, and 1.-THE Deluge" had its
first production in Stockholm, where
it scored a great success. Berger
wants it to open in America in the
city where he suffered and struggled,
where its theme had its inception in
his mind. 1t is one of the most I'M
usual dramas ever written.
The theatrical season of 1928
comes to its close with a final musi-
cal offering, my Little Friend" at
the New Amsterdam. The music is
by Oscar Straus, the libretto by Har-
ny B. and Robert B. Smith. The best
thing in the piece is the singing of
Leila Hughes, a young woman who
possesses much magnetism and
charm, in addition, to fine voice.
The score is not up to that of ''The

were candles and what appeared to be
blank hearts decorated with "Kewpies" At
ter the first course the candles were light
ed and the hearts held over the light, and
gradually the names, Marie French. Arthur

prise and delight of the guests. After the
luncheon games were played, the first of
which was Heart Quoits," played with small
gilded hearts, At the next table was pyra-
mid of small candies on which was mounted a
little "Kewpie." Candy tongs were provided
