New Budding

Material is on the ground to
commence the preliminary work oi
the new East Main street theatre
building which is being built on
the site of the Air Dome. d. D.
Johnson, the builder and owner,
said this morning that the building
was to be absolutely fire proof and
would seat between IL and IS
hundred people. 1t is to be con-
structed with brick walls and
cement floors. Both front and rear
will be so built as to allow their
being thrown open during the
summer weather. 1t will be used
for the first time this summer, as
the building is scheduled to be
completed by May goth.
A feature of the building is that
there will be four isles, and for
each isle there will be an exit so as
to do away nearly altogether with
the congestion that results from
insufficient exits in times of crowds.
The building will be 50 by I35
feet and will have a horse shoe bal
cony.that will come within twenty
feet of the stage on each side.
The stage itself will be large enough
TO accommodate stock companies, or
any company not having an ex
tTemely large number in their casts.
Upon the completion of the new
the owner will remove his
picture show from its present loca-
non to the new fire proof building.

on becoming a member of the Air
Dome circuit. In case he does not

Worth KNOWING,

Never throw away pieces Of lemon
after they have been equeezed with
the lemon squeezer, for they come In
handy, for removing stains from the
hands and elsewhere. Dipped into salt
they will scour copper kettles nicely
and remove stains from brasswork
Lemon like this will take stains, dirt
and odor from pans and kettles az
nothing else will. The odors Of fish
