Feathers" the drama by Eugene Wal
ter, will come to the Grand Saturday
matinee and night, January 9. direct
from its long run at the Aston theatre
New York City, and the playgoefs who
keep in touch with matters theatrical
are well aware of the fact that the &C.
casion will prove the treat of many
seasons. Not only is this true be-
cause Fine Feathers is an unusual
success but because it is said to be
quite the most stupendous play which
has ever come from the pen Of Mr..
Walter.
The play was first produced in Chi

ton of remaining there for four weeks,
but so tremendous was it's triumph that

endorsed the Chicago opinion and
Fine Feathers remained al the Aston
theater for $50 performances. This run
was interrupted at the height of its
success in order to fill contracts calling
for it's appearances On transcontl-
mental tour to the Pacific coast with
the conclusion of which the play re-
corded an unprecedented run of 80 I'M

Austria Prepares to
Begin Invasion of
Italy Along the Adige

ROME. Aug. 3.-That Austria will be-
gin determined attempt to invade
Northern italy through the Adiss
valley when the Warsaw campaign 10
ended Is the information brought to
Rome from several Swiss frontier
towns today.
From some sources 1t 10 reported that
the massing of Austrian troops and
guns between Trent and Rovereto al
ready has begun. This report was par
TALLY corroborated in the last official
dispatches from General Cadorna, who
said observers have reported the arrival
Of troop trains at the Rovereto station
At several points along the Tyrolean
frontier. particularly In Ledro valley,
small Austrian forces have attempted
to take the offensive. but have been re-
pulsed In every attack.
The war office today gave out a re-
port from General Dallolio. minister OF
munitions. who has Just returned from
a visit of inspection to Italian ammuni-
ton factories. He reported that the
daily output OF shells is more than
sufficient for the Italian armies and
that the reserve supplies already on
hand are large enough for q campaign

Summer Suggestions
For Baby's Mother
Sedsondble Advice on the
Health of Children in
Hot Weather

No one requires as much food in
Summer as in Winter. Do not over
feed children during the hot
weather. Serve only the lighter and
more easily digested foods, and
make sure the bowels keep normal
ly active.
Most of the troubles to which
children seem particularly suscep-
tible in summer have their origin in
a constipated condition. The first
care Of the mother should be to see
that the children are regular. At
the first sign of a disposition to
neglect this important function a
mild laxative should be sdminis-
tered promptly. Cathartics and
purgatives should never be given to
children as they are harsh and vio-
lent In their action and tend to up
set the entire system. The combina-
ton Of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, sold In drug stores under the
name Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, Is now very generally used to
correct stomach and bowel trouble
and Is especially adapted for chill
dren, being pleasant to the taste,
