"The Dingbat Family

The trouble with most musical come
dies seems to be their utter inability
to meet even the commonplace things
of life on an equal basis. And for
this reason, in the past seasons, few of
these attractions have approached the
degree of amusement expected of them
by the public. For be it drama or mu-
sical comedy, it is the everyday thing
that has been demonstrated as the most
attractive of the stage. One of the

THE HAMBURG sANITARIUM

The opening by the State of another sanitarium
for the care and treatment of tuberculosis patients,
in Hamburg, Berks county, on Monday next, will
mark the completion of the third institution OF the
kind in Pennsylvania and will round out the number
that DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health Commits
soner, had in mind when he began the construc
ton of these Institutions which have been so
derfuly successful in alleviatng the distress caused
by that most insdious of all diseases.
The first of these institutions was opened in Mont
Alto. and when its success in the care and treat
ment of tuberculosis had been demonstrated DR..
Dixon set about establishing similar institution
in Cresson, the highest ridge of the Allegheny
mountains the State being fortunate in obtaining
this site through the donation by Andrew Carnegie
of large tract of land he had owned for years and
once occupied as his summer home.
To complete the three institutions DR.. Dixon
originally planned and to provide for the many
applicants in the eastern part of the state, the num-
ber of which grew rapidly that names had to
be placed waiting list, DR.. Dixon obtained
the aid of the Legislature in the establishment of
another sanitarium and selected spot Ham
burg Berks county, for its location. This new in
stituon is about to be opened for the reception of
patients and will accommodate about 300 sufferers
who will receive treatment by the most advanced
methods known for combating the scourge
Pennsylvania, of all the states in the union,
stands first in the humane treatment of her tuber
cular citizens. Through the use of these nstitu-
tons, the advanced methods of treatment and the

restored to their homes and enabled to take up
their regular daily pursuits. Under the treatment

"A Girl of the Mountains'

The story of "a Girl of the Noun.

Thursday matinee and night, deals with
a young Western girl, Nellie Bonn, who
has been betrayed by Richard Thurston.
Nellie becomes cognizant of the awful
ness of her past and when in late years
the man comes for her, Nellie informs
him that he has passed out of her life
and that she is done with him forever.
Nellie later meets a young mining en-
gineer, Victor Lambert, who loves her
and whom she loves. She accepts his
devotion and ends by engaging herself
to him. She will not marry him, how.
ever, without telling him the truth, and
this she does in a scene of no slight
dramatic power. In the absence of her
lover the girl s betrayer reappears and
tries to. win her again, she defes him,
the lover returns, hand to-hand fight
ensues and the betrayer is shot At

OUTSIDE VIEW OF MEDICAL CLUB

Harrisburg's club of doctors conducts it's regular
meetings in such a quiet way and so carefully
avoids seeking publicity merely for pubcitys sake,
that it has remained for an outside doctor phv-
slcian from far-away- San Diego California who
happens to be in this city, to point to the effective
work it is doing. The Harrisburg Medical Club is
an organization of representative local doctors
which has been in existence for four years. and the
Californian declares that it has some methods of
conducting its affairs that he believes are actually
unique.
The club is run on the theory that the general
public does not as rule manifest great interest in
distinctly professional clubs and that there is moth
ing for the club to gain by basking in the limelight
rays. The good club of professional men may do

Jack Speel's Name Leads

"Their devotion to old friends, the
loyalty with which they are constant
ly returning to their native soil to
tread the paths they trod as boys and
to refresh and keep alive the true and
natural friendships of long ago are but
a few of the noble traits that charac-

burg. Born within forty miles of each
other, of splendid parentage, and hav-

they entered the navy at the ages of
21, equipped with high character and
a rare quality of common sense, to
pass from clerkships to assistant pay
masterships, becoming paymasters, pay
inspectors, and finally attaining the
high station of pay director, with the
rank of captain. When Uncle Sam calls

a radical anomaly, extremely difficult to
handle. The host never konws which
side of his nature is going to turn up

difficulty with the Mexican. He can be
charming, but one never knows whether
he is the most northern southerner or
the most southern northerner, and he
can change from one to the other with
facility that is almost genius-Phil-
