Science HITS THE
COFFEE DRINKERS
Familiar Table Beverage Unmasked
and It's Evil Effect on the
Human Body Shown.

An astonishing list of ills due to coffee
drinking is pointed out by DIR. Otto
Juettner of the Cincinnati Polytechnic, in
communication to the New York
Medical Times. THE symptoms pro-
duced by excessive indulgence in coffee
can be observed in the arrested physi-
cal and mental development of children,
their pallor. emaciation and nervous
ness; in the morbidly excited condition
of women who are addicted to the COT
fee pot just as the topper is to the
whiskey bottle, and no less a helpless
and pitiable victim than he; in profess
sional men and students who whip up
their mental faculties by coffee; In the
aged whose tremor and itch are not in
frequently due to excessive indulgence
in coffee.
Coffee poisoning in it's chronic form
may be the cause of tremor. of ringing
in the ears; or acrid quotations, of
severe continuous headaches. creeping
pricking sensations in the skin: sensa-
tons of heat and cold. hysteriacl at
tacks, troubles of vision. dizziness, in
somnia, all kinds of digestive disturb
ances. Coffee depresses the kidney
functions, and skin symptoms are prob
ably due to irritation from retained
waste.

 From the time she appears as the maid of all worlSsi in an English lodging house until she and Dauncelot find that the heart of Marian" is the same heart that

 ness with which she played.
 The graduation from the country girl

 of society is striking in Merely Mary
 Ann and it is in just such a revelation
 that Miss Bunting delights and in which
 she shows the keenness of her acting ability. Beside giving her favorite part, Mere ly Mary Ann affords opportunities for other members of the company notably MT. Whitaker as Launcelot. the com poser really the son of a baronet who has left home to follow the uncertain goddess of music; Miss Harcourt, who is excellent as Mrs. Leadbetter, land lady of the boarding house; Leslie P.

At the Lyric

Maintaining the high standard set by the management, this weeks offering at the Lyric was well received last night by the usual Monday night capacity audi ence. Since the opening of the popular theatre many splendid and original acts have been presented, but none have sur passed, possibly not equaled that of Harry Tighe and his company of collegians. It is something different. Its exurberant hilarity caught the audience at the start and kept the house in an uproar until the finish Harry Tighe as 'Dick Pendle- ton,' the breezy happy -go-lucky college chap was some noise' and to him fell the honors of the act. Billed as a hilarious musical farcical comedy it fully came up to the expectation. The musical numbers were pleasing, especially the medley of college songs, the dancing of Miss Stuart and her partner received d deserved encore. The other parts were in very capable hands.
 For the first time since the opening the motion pictures held the audience until the drop of the curtain and are decided feature of the bill. MT. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, said to be society's greatest dan cers of the new steps, were introduced. appearing in their latest and newest steps, including the 'one step, the Argentine Tango" hesitation waltz" and other parlor dances. The pictures were clean cut, every step of the famous dances can be seen.
 Lynch and Zeller opened the bill with a novelty club juggling number. Their deX- terity and skill have caused them to be called "club maniacs." The act is clean and snappy and of high class The dia- lect singing of Bert Handon and his clever story telling made pleasing num- ber, the young man showing versatility in all his numbers.
 Herbert and Claribel Farjeon in a comedy satire "Disillusioned'' a clever sketch by Carlye Moore dealing with a stage struck wife and an actor play wright were excellent.
 Elida Morris, the singing conedienne. presented her own songs with much clev- erness. vivacity and spriteliness of man. ner and proved graceful dancer.
 The blackface act of Nevins and Err wood was mirth provoking and included novelty dancing of much merit.
 The Hassmans. father and son, gave 8 remarkable exhibition of hand balancing and feats of strength The act was very acceptable. The motion pictures closed the bill. C. Il. M.

Impair the System, Shorter
 Life and Do Great Harm

If you knew that you could cure your self or your child of malignant disease by the use of dynamite. would you take the chance?
 Calomel acts on the sluggish liver like dynamite on the solid rock.
 It shocks and upsets the organs and works much harm, as proven by its af- ter effects.
 Modern science has discovered a veg etable substitute that produces all the desired effects of calomel without the shock or after troubles. It is so harOa- less that acids may be taken into the system immediately after the medicine without fear of after effects
 It rids liver, kidneys and bowels of all poisonous accumulations and leaves the patient feeling new and strong.

!. : Louis Lytton, who appears Herr Brom- son, the German music publisher.
 The audience last night was very en- thusiastic and evidenced it's delight throughout the play. The story is of a little English country girl who comes to town and goes to work in the board ing house, where she and Launcelot are thrown together and loce springs up. She inherits a fortune, and offers it all to him that he may go away and write his great opera. The generosity of ,the girl arouses his spirit of manhood and he goes away by yhimself to achieve fame and fortune. In after years she a society woman and he great and successful composer, they are thrown together by the old friends of worse days, and they find that. during all this time the heart of each has been true to the other.

At the Orpheum

5 Patrons of the Orpheum were treated yesterday to one of the most beauti- full stage settings that has ever been witnessed in Birmingham-a setting as beautiful and artistic as the Fashion Week displays, as gorgeous as a sunset and as striking a view of the Golden Gate. It is a city in Japan done on an immense drop curtain about 40 feet square, and every thread a piece of solid gold, carefully woven by the women of the F'lowery Kingdom and only completed after four years of hard labor.
 In this setting appears the Kitamura Jsps, 10 in number, composing one of the finest acrobatic acts that has been in Birmingham. Their baiancing, tossing, barrel juggling and similar feats of skill are done as only the Japs can do them. The umbrella juggling by one of the members of the troup was excellent. In place of two men juggling the barrels there were four, and they handled them with ease and skill. tossing them back wards and forwards. They dance the barrels to the tunes played by the orches- tra, and the effect is both novel and amusing. There is a great deal of good comedy in the act

 Boyle appears in five different parts and

 clever It is an enjoyable little speci
 alty and good opening number.

Consumers Are Blamed
For High Cost of Food

New York, Aug. 2e.-The cost OF liv-

protests OF householders who have

market bills have filled the neWspa-
pers. Citizens committees have been
formed to take action and prosecuting
officers have been called upon TO jail
those responsible for advancing the
cost Of food.
The difficulty OF course, IS to fix the
responsibility. The most serious OBJ
3ecuons have been raised TO the ad-
yances in the cost Of meats, flour, COZ
