comedy, will be the attraction at the

stories of the same name by Harry
Leon Wilson, which ran as serial

ous-minded young stenographer, who
gains unexpected self-reltance and
strength through a belief that he Is the
reincarnation not only OF Napoleon
! Bonaparte. but also of Ram-tah. pow
erful Egyptian king of ancient times.
The newly found confidence in himself
! transforms Bunker into an energetic
business man, SO sure OF himself that
success follows him in business and.
with the assistance of his sweetheart,
in love. The four acts all have to do
with Bunker during his state of transit

TO USE TWILIGHT SLEEP.
Department of Charities of New

NEW YORK, February 24.-From
opinions expressed by ten physicians
who have had wide experience with
twilight sleep the department of chari-
ties Is satisfied that its use in city
institutions in selected cases is ex-
pedient. The decision of the depart
ment was announced today by Henry
C. Wright. deputy commissioner of
charities, and follows a conference he
held yesterday with the physicians to
obtain their opinions because of GER
tain criticism of twilight sleep.
The physicians, the deputy commits
sioner stated; deplored the fact that
twilight sleep had been heralded 20
widely. 1t is not a panacea for suffer-
ing womanhood, he explained, but sim
ply another method which to them
seems to be applicable in about 65 per
cent of the cases.
