 Finally Wins Out

Kaplan, La.-Mrs. Casamear Burk- hart of this town, gives out following for publication: q feel that owe my life to Cardui. the woman's tonic. was married last April and was in fair Iy good health. Shortly after marriage my health began to fall, and for three long months I was threatened with serious sickness.
 passed most of my time in bed, with a nurse at my bedside At last I was told an operation was necessary. I was so weak I could retain nothing on my stomach but crushed ice. and was not even allowed to sit up in bed.
 A friend of mine advised me to use Cardui, the woman's tonic. and they got bottle for me as a last resort.
 After taking Cardui for one week, 1 was able to be up in my room. After continual use for two months I was in perfect health. and could do all of my work without tiring.
 I take an occasional dose of Cardni and Black -Draught now. to keep my system in good condition.
 Several of my friends are using Car cut 1t in the house."

Handling the sex play is necessarily an entirely different sort of thing from handling almost any other type of the atrical attraction MT. Gordon continued.
 There are so many different angles to be considered. You've even got to figure on the mental attitude of the baggage man at Ann Arbor. Mich, for instance, who was extremely interested in my trunks. These thrunks. of course have painted on them the name of the play, and this intellectual giant had apparently been puzzing his brains all day long to deter- mine just what sort of goods l happened to be selling. Then it's a nice, pleasant sensation to get into a town and work like the very dickens in an endeavor to make the theatre-going public believe that here is something really worth going to see, and then to have som cone ask, as they have done, in several instances, What is this Damaged Goods musical comedy?" That's always very cheering l took occasion once in a certain town in New York state to set my interrogater absolutely right on this point. I proceeded to inform him that Damaged Goods" was the musical comedy de luxe, that 1t boasted a chorus of unblemshed pulch-i- tude, and that he must not by any chance miss it. And 1 sincerely trust that he didn't"
 'Then it's always a joy to present Damaged Goods for the ed1cation and education of the type typified by a long, lank countryman up in a certain Ohio town" MT. Gordon related, 'who about o'clock on one evening last fall heaved himself up to the box office window by easy stages and asked: Whats playin' here tonight?' 'Tamaged Goods said the genial gentleman inside the window Any hackin? queried the long, lank gentle man. No hacking replied the box office man. and we were at loss to know what it was all about. We found out, however, that hacking was a localism and meant slashing, cutting and shooting. This gen

tleman apparently was looking for melo- drama of the most mellow variety"
 What class of audiences have you found most appreciative?' l asked.
 "The presentations of the play have been very successful in university towns, was the reply, "and one of the really re- markable sights that 1t has been my priv ilege to witness was the attitude of the students of the University of Michigan who fiocked to see the play when it was presented in Ann Arbor. Personally, had my doubts to whether it's extreme delicacy of line and situation would be properly construed. There was absolutely no question that they were. Dr. Vaughs I, interested in the plays presentation, and University of Michigan, was very much interested in tn eplay's presentation. and gave luncheon to the Damaged Goods company, to which function were invited the members of the faculty. It proved a very pleasant affair for all parties con- cerned except possibly little Miss Stem pei, who. plays the role of the Girl = the girl of the streets. Seated next to Miss Stempel and apparently intensely interested in her was lady of somewhat uncertain age, but no lack of volubility. After talking with Miss Stempel for some time regarding her work in visualizing type heretofore never attempted on the stage, she naively remarked, You know, my dear, you are exactly the type for the part" Of course, this was made all the more ridiculous to the rest of the company, because at that moment Miss Stempel boasted no makeup wha Seriously though, we all fell, and by we I mean Mir. Richard Bennett. to whose splendid courage and indefatigable en- ergy alone is due the production of Dam aged Goods in America, and those as- soeiated with him, that we are really 6DjDp hi0er tyb in fr1fo ing to present Damaged Goods in every city in America, interested in higher moral standard, and as a result, better standard of public health"

How to Clean Wallnaner

T have poor health but must earn my own living and help my mother Kindly tell me how l can clean wallpaper. If i had recipe and the method of mixing the ingredients l might be able to do this kind of work. Will you kindly answer through your Corner? R R.
 simple and usually efficient cleaner for wallpaper is buckwheat dough mixed to the right consistency with hot water Do not add either salt or shortening Knead until it is lukewarm, break eff handfuls and wit ha piece the size cs a coffee cup rub the paper with down strokes (never up). After each stroke lap the dough over to present fresh, clean place to the soiled paper. Do this until the piece of dough is soiled all through. Throw it away and take q new piece pru- ceeding in this manner until each breadth is cleansed. Another and more elaborate method Is to mix white flour into dough with boiling water, cents worth of oil of sassafras, cents worth of bluestone and cents worth of glycerin. Knead smooth and proceed as directed with buckwheat dough. Try the simpler recipe first and practice until you can take ID the work as a profession.
