AT THE DREAM THEATRE


 You have heard great deal about New York City, and the manner in the "Gunmen" and "Gangsters" of which Mayor Gaynor and District Att toney Whitman severely checked them. In pictures it is interesting, thrilling and educational-with all of the blood and thunder" eliminated- picture with a deep moral, and one that every young man, especially, should see. For
 "Vice is a monster of such
 Hideous mien.
 That to be hated needs but to be seen;
 But seen too oft; familiar with it's
 face,
 We first endure, then pity, then em-
 brace"
 A picture better than sermon, and impressed so deeply that 1t will never be forgotten. Be sure and see it-Friday, Saturday or Sunday night. 1Oc. and 15c
 Along with this feature will be seen a one-reel Western picture and a Key stone comedy. Selected pictures for matinee saturady at 2:SO.

Why Bobby Roth was benched

Blackburne, who follow him, are not
the kind of fellows who will let him

cleanup man, which gives the Sox
two hitters of that variety in the

NO LAW WILL STOP FLIRTING
And Trouble Seems to Lie Rather
With the Girls Than With
the Boys.

Every person of sense knows that
there is danger in flirting. but no law
will stop the practice or relieve 1t
of its danger. The trouble lies in the
girls rather than the boys. We have
been accustomed to think Of our girls
as too modest and refined to firt
Most of them are, but the proportion
that is not is altogether too large
larger than need be. Nowadays when
a girl goes to work in store or fac
tory she seems to think she has been
emancipated from home control, and
all too often the parents make no
attempt to free her from this delusion.
The consequence is that she is in
constant danger because she is likely
in her new-found freedom to follow
the course of the pleasure-seekers
among her companions. Proper home
training and control Of the girl until
she has acquired knowledge of the
dangers that beset a young girl in the
world are better preventives Of firt-
ing and its accompanying evils than
all the laws that all the legislatures
could pass.-Rochester Union and Ad-
vertiser.

ALGERIAN SOAP TREE
Fruit Has a Distinct Commercial
Value.
Average Income From Product viii
Vary From Ten to Twenty Dollars
Year-Really Marvellous
Product of Nature.

The Algerian soap tree originated
from China and has been propagated
by seeds imported from that country.
The nam is given as Sapindus utilis.
The tree is ornamental and reaches a
height of fifty feet. 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old. The wood
is close grained, takes a good polish
and is admirably suitable for furni-
ture.
The average crop of full-grown
tree is about 200 pounds of fruit. The
average income from a tree is from
$40 to $50 a year. The composition
OF the fruit consists in a n~ut-shaped
hull in which is a seed. In the hull
exists the s~aponaceous matter in the
proportion of 80 to 40 per cent of the
bulk of the hull. The saponaceous
principle is set free by the shredding
of the hull and using it with water
Just as If it were a piece of soap. A
beautiful lather is the result and the
cleansing qualities are such that there
is no soap made by human process
that a compare with them. 1t is
equally good for toilet purposes. No
human skill can produce that marvel
GUS product of nature.
The hull can also be made into a
powder and the powder into a cake,
SO as to make the use of it easier. 1t
can also be made into a liquid for
hair wash, dentifrice and various other
preparations, and these articles can
be made by such simple processes that
in every household the commodity will
become a source of economy, of recre-
alton and Of pleasure.
The seed has a kernel which con-
tains a fixed oil in every respect pref
cradle to the best imported olive oil.
The yield in oil of that kernel is twice
the yield of the olive fruit, and when
the production reaches an Importance
necessitating the use of the proper
machinery the oil will be produced as
cheaply If not more cheaply than cot
tonseed oil. For a solid shortening
the delicious flavor of that oil will
surpass anything ever produced.
AS a meal for poultry and other ami
mails the expressed product is excel
lent. The leaves of the soap nut tree
supply a fodder of u%nequaled value,
Medical authorities assert that the
soap nut may be used internally in
cases of salvation and as an expec-
torant. The seeds, pounded with
water, are said to arrest a paroxysm
of epilepsy. This fruit is also recon-
mended by native practitioners for the
cure of chlorosis.
The foregoing relates to the Alge-
rian soap tree, the seed Of which E.
Moulie, a southern perfumer, imported
for free distribution, but it applies
equally well to the Florida soap tree,
This tree also came originally from
China. some seeds having been i'm
ported 20 years ago. These two spe-
cies bear the same name; they are Of
different varieties.

DISEASE is SPREAD BY RATS
Their Migratory Habits Explain Many

That the migratory habits of TO-
dents have a bearing upon the spread
Of disease is not generally known, but
the United States public health serv-
fee. as a result of experiments con-
Quoted In plague epidemic work at
New Orleans, asserts that such is the
case. This is but another illustration
that the field of preventive medicine
is especially broad, and investigators
therein must be thoroughly familiar
with the life history and habits Of
flies, mosquitoes, ticks and even ro-
dents.
Several hundred captured rats were
marked for purposes of Identification
by having their ears punched, care be-
ing taken not to render them conspic-
uous, IS fellow rodents wage relent-
less warfare upon those which appear
different from their kind. They were
then released in the heart of the city,
and allowed to shift for themselves.
Trapping al carried on in all sec
tons, and each rat was labeled as to
the locality caught. Fully ~one-quarter
of the rats made widespread excur-
sions, that is, they were recaptured at
points from one to four miles from
where they we're liberated. In one in
stance, a rat travelled 10 blocks, cross
Ing n Of the widest and busiest
streets in the city, where there was
no s~ubterranean passage and was re-
taken within go hours from the time
Of its liberation. From the expert
ments 1t is concluded that the semi
domesticated rat has migratory hab-
its similar to wild animals, and that
these habits are Influenced by abun-
dance or scarcity of food, facility for
harborage, or the presence Of natural
enemies. 1t Is also believed that GER
tain inexplicable instincts tend to
make the rat a wanderer. That in
this instance the "homing'' instinct
was not responsible for the migration
of rodents explains many facts con-
nected with the dissemination OF
plague; 1t will also doubtless prove
enlightening to those who have at
tempted to exterminate rats for Geo.
nomic reasons. The Indian plague
commission was Of the opinion that
rats seldom ~journeyed from one sec
ton Of the city to another, but the
conclusion Of the public health Off
cials is quite the opposite. AS a meas

tons, 1t is interesting to note that
W one-half of the rodents liberated
were recaptured within a month.
