work has but begun. How she sets
about her task is best told by the d.
rector Of her stage:
"When Miss Adams first receives a
new play from Mr.. Barrie she reads 1t
over many times. She commits it to
memory in its entirety. When this is
accomplished she begins to visualize
it's characters from the most important
to the most insignificant. Mentally she
pictures first the segregated situations
and then the entire action of the play.
Her conception is always subject to
subsequent changes. but. as a rule, she
adheres to her original ideas. When
she has mastered the play in the man.
ner described the rehearsals are got
under way. But these are conducted
along lines quite different from the
Usual method pursued in stage work.
Instead of dealing with the cast as n
whole Miss Adams rehearses the prin-
cipal characters individually. While
this work is going on the minor char
acters are being taken care Of by stage
directors, who. for the sake Of CO.
h%erency, impersonate the more i'm
pOrtant, yet absent characters. Then
comes the day when a complete re-
hearsal is called and the remarkable
part of this performance is that every
detail Of action and every part Of the
action fits together as splendidly as
though the complete cast had beer

Maude Adams and James Matthew
Barrie-they are a unique and JOY

that either could get along without the
other. To interpret Barrie's subtle and
delicious humor, with its ever present
strain Of tenderness, needs just such a
winsome personality as the little
lady," as those who sit "in front" love
to call her. And, without the Scotch
playwright to build for her the most
fascinating roles in the world, what,
indeed, would Maude Adams do?

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
wellknown authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poisons from the blood. then
we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if

grapes and lemon juice, combined with

Keeping the City Clean

Clean up week will be here soon. The appeal
to cooperate in the movement already has been
sounded. Hundreds of school children have been
pledged to aid in the movement and give the city
a cleaning from one end to the other. This is
not the first time "clean up week" has been OBJ
served in Richmond. 1t has become an annual
affair.
This leads to the observation that the holding
of "clean up week" seems to indicate that the
city during the other months of the year is lax
in observing the old maxim "Cleanliness is next
to Godliness." One might infer, without being
called carping fault finder, that for eleven
months, rubbish and dirt accumulates and no ef-
fort is made to keep yards, alleys and premises
free from dirt.
"Clean up week. ought not be an annual af-
fair, but daily occurrence. The sentiment of
the enterprise ought be with US from morning
till night, day in and out, so that when spring
arrives, it would not be necessary to set aside a
week for a general cleaning up" The tidy
housewife INDUCES in "house cleaning once a
year, but she, nevertheless, sweeps her house
thoroughly each week, and daily "goes over it to
remove dust and dirt. This plan ought be ap-
piled to municipal cleaning: If rubbish and old
paper destroyed at once and not be permit
ted to accumulate from season to season, there
would be no need of "clean up week." and the city
would be "spotless town" from January tc
December 81. Let the spirit of "clean up week
be with us every day in the year.

Roosevelt Turns Tables

Colonel Roosevelt is irrepressible. William
Barnes, one time boss, is suing the former presi-
dent of the United States for $4,000 for an al
legged libel. yet perusal of the testimony Of
fered at Syracuse and of the course of the trial
seems to indicate that Roosevelt is the plaintiff
and Barnes the defendant. Instead of being on
the defensive. to quote military expression
Roosevelt is on the offensive, and Barnes seems
to be hard pressed to meet the vigorous attack of
the aggressive man he is suing.
d,s Perhaps no case in American court annals
shows such strange and unexpected reversal.
When Barnes after introducing testimony that
took only five minutes, rested his case and
Colonel Roosevelt took the chair in his own be-
half, the case took sudden turn that has given
a new surprise each day. Justice Andrews has
permitted the defendant almost free hand in
substantiating his statement, the basis of the
suit that Barnes was "boss," and the colonel
has taken full advantage of the opportunity.
Mr.. LYONS, chief counsel for Mr.. Barnes, has
given out the impression that his heavy artillery
will get into action in the rebuttal testimony and
that he pins his hopes for victory on that phase
of the contest. It seems, however, that the plain
tiff will have rough shedding to explain away the
many damaging statements that Colonel Roose-
