AT THE ILLINOIS.

Don't Lie to Your Wife" is said to
be actually funny. Stage folks give
it this distinction. Mr.. Casad, the
author was formerly a New York Her
aid reporter who gathered the funny
sides of human nature as they came
to HIS attention while covering con-
signments and placed them in charac-
teristic newspaperman's style in this
farce. The piece is up TO the minute,
scfntillatiug with witfull of odd and
screamingly funny situations-in fact,
Il might be called one long laugh in
three acts, as the fun is fast and fur
ious from beginning to end. c. 5.
Primrose is directing the tour and has
kept this attraction right up to stand
ard. never allowing il TO deteri-
crate for an instant. The scenic equip
ment is brand new this season, all new
costumes have been provided, and the
gowning of the principals and the
chorus is one OF the distinctive fea-
lures OF this attraction. There are
numerous up-to-the-minute specialties
and musical numbers introduced. The
comedy comes to the Illinois Sunday.

gallons. The water is taken from the
main channel, 2,100 feet from the Rock
Island shore. through a 3O-inch and a
2O-inch pipe.
The city is contemplating the pur-
chase of a new 6.O00,0OO gallon pump
for the station. There are in this sta
ton eight men regularly employed,
and construction gangs are employed
whenever necessary. There are four
men at the reservoir regularly; the

Owens OF the state food commission.
They will consist of a series of stere-

films on pure foods and sources of
contamination. These are very inter
esting and instructive lecturers and II
will pay every one to attend.
The moving pictures bring the les
son home much better than any writ
ten or spoken word could possibly do.
The films have an entertaining story
connected with them which makes
them doubIy interesting. There is one

which shows the proper methods in the

most interesting of all is the Life

as has any other motion picture story.

and lectures at the Empire theatre on

differs somewhat from the past, in
that vaudeville has no part, the intro

place. This rule deviated from, how
