EXTRA!-EN1n1A CARUS, QUEEN OF
 FUNMAKERS, SOLVES A PROBLEM!
Fly DOLLY DALRYMPLE

If you've got the blues; if you've had A fight with your wife: if you've got money in busted bank; if your mother-in flaw has come to spend the winter with you; if you've quarreled with your best girl; if you've been presented with twins; if you've got the toothache. or the earache, or the heartache, or any other kind of an old ache-iust drop in at the Lyric this week and Emma Carus, the incest, jol- Hest, cleverest funmaker of them all will be your perfectly good doctor, and. take it from me, she'll make you forget you ever had a trouble or worry in all your life.
 From this you'd know that she's fat; in fact, from the moment she appears on the stage I believe you'll admit with pe that Miss Carus is almost as much to meet as one can meet in a single human being, a broad, bounding. bilow-y, personality, with taste for brims and streamers, and panniers and loose sleeves and sweeping gestures. and "pantlets" and top notes, and the like that make her look more like an occasion for public rejoicing than just a mere woman.
 Even her large blue eyes and her chin and brows and her saucy nose seem rac- ing up to the front of her as if excited by the clarion notes of her abundant voice, and the pinkness of her complexion is as exuberant as her manner.
 Exuberant! Yes, that's the word; she's as big and bouncing and bright and jolly as girl of 15, very amusing and very much admired, and she looks as if shed like the role then and had not grown much older, but merely suffered CT CT, we'll considerable enlargement
 Miss Carus isn't bit sensitive about her size; oh, no; in fact, she's so much smaller now than she used to be that she can afford to smile at such things and even tell funny stories about herself on the subject.
 Here's one:
 She says that not long ago she went into a fashionable Fifth avenue shop and asked to see some handmade blouses The sales woman looked at her askance (she knew her, of everybody in New York does), and said quickly:
 Why, Miss Carus, we haven't any blouses large enough for you
 Well, that's funny" Miss Carus re- sented quickly. You have them big enough for Marie Dressler.''
 Anyway, as 1 was about to tell you, while Miss Carus is still stout, she has lost 39 pounds recently, and she doesn't care who found them.
 All you fat ladies sit up and take no- tice, for believe me, she has solved the problem and here is her recipe.

 Isn't 1t simple?

 Drinking loads and loads of hot water two cups before breakfast, two before lunch (which she doesn't eat at all that meal is left out of her daily regime), two before dinner, and two at night before she retires.
 She guarantees that it did the work for her. so behold her sylph like(g form. Great artists on the concert platform in opera, and in the drama, not to speak
 of "voodville," inspire and affect people in different ways, but Emma Carus is one who makes the average human being rise up and call upon providence to 'bless her"

Auto Clubs to Work Roads.

Since Governor Brumbaugh's
proclamation making May 26th
Good Roads Day, auto clubs have
been arranging to cooperate with
the local supervisors to make May
26th a memorable day all over
the State. We have heard of
many clubs that will go to work
at once to provide funds for the
purchase of material for making
roads. Some men are not able
to leave their business to work on
the roads, and they will contrib
ute cash, or pay deserving la
boring men a days wages to GO
in their stead. 1t is thought that
every owner of autos will be a
booster. Last year, Washington
county men and women turned
out and made $12, 900 worth of
repairs in one day, and this year
they expect to do more.

Judge Buckley Hurt.

On Wednesday afternoon of
last week, ex-Judge S. L. Buck
ley, of Fort Littleton, was sitting
on a chair on his porch with his
feet raised against a post. In
some manner, the rear feet of
the chair slipped over the end
of the porch and the Judge fell
backward a distance of four feet
and struck his head against a
stone wall and injured his right
shoulder so that his arm hung
limp at his side. He was taken
to the Chambersburg hospital
that evening where the X-ray
revealed no broken, nor displaced,
bones; but the shock to nerves
seemed to have paralyzed the
muscles from the shoulder to the
elbow. He is receiving treat
ment to restore the use of that
member.
