 Jewellers in the great cities Of America" he says are wearing out their nerves because of eye andl ear strain. One of the most difficult prob-3 lens that the decorator of today has to confront in modern steel structures is the overcoming of intense light. Els pecially true is this of buildings where the effort of the architect has been bent toward getting as much window space as possible in order to attract@ tenants. Where a club is placed on the top story of a skyscraper with no skyline and where all the partitions are removed and vast spaces take the place of ba ys% a s-tunits, what is a.. posi- -% tive virtue from the architects point of view for all fstories save the top, story is a vice to be overcome by the decorator.

FARNUM IN PHOTO
 PLAY AT FOX'S

The reputation of Foxs has never been in doubt as to the showing of the biggest and best photo-play produce tions, but now the management has made a lrasterstrOkc. It has again secured for it's patrons the big and powerful production of the Alaskan gold fields, '"Thc Spoilers,' from the famous book by Rex Beach, which has been read by millions of people all over the English speaking world. The management announces the inn portant engagement of this produce ton for two days commencing with this afternoon" 1>r
 William Farnum, the celebrated dramatic star, is seen as Roy Glenster, and Kathleen Williams plays Cherry Malotte, while the audience follows closely the melodramat ways of Helen Chester, of the judge. of Struve. the lawyer who drank and slept, and the Broncho Kid who turned to bet ter ways as Helen's brother.
 Melodramatic incidents of the play are of the hair-raising variety. When the lady-like Helen plunges from the fquarantincd boat in. mid-Ocean and scales the ladder of the Ohio that she
 
 tator watches in breathless interest. Then there is the spectacular street riot with Glenister shielding the body of Helen with his own. The robbery of the suices of the Midas and the consequent dyna hitting of the claim is something extremely out of the or dinary. There is the life and whirl of the great northern dance hall and the rescue of Helen from the intentions of the bibulous Struve at the sign of the sled. There is the ever rccur- ring utility of Cherry Malotte, and best of all there is a terrific fist fight to the finish between McNamara and Glen ister that puts the last touch to an entertainment packed to the limit with all that, red hot melodranla implies. ' To Fox parons who have seen this pro- duction the, mana agement feels quite sure they will want to sec it again and those who have not seen it have rare treat coming to them.
 The Spoilers" will be shown twice this evening at o'clock and at g o'clock with the same popular scale of prices prevailing. Tomorrow it will be shown at D., m.,: D.! m., 7 D. m. and at D. m, running continuously from 1.30 to l p. m.

MANY POSSIBILITIES
 ARE IN CRACKERS

For the housekeeper whose cook is perhaps not all she should be and who has but little time at her own dis posal for the making of small fancy cakes, confections, tarts and cookies, and yet who realizes what an addi- -tion these dainty little accessories are to the luncheon, supper and tea table, the suggestion is offered that she test the possibilities contained in ordinary crakers or wafers.
 Fortunately, many excellent Varie- ties of these tempting little crackers may be purchased for five and ten cents box, and if the housekeeper is willing to exercise ingenuity and skill in preparing them she will be surprised at the dainty confections she can easily and quickly evolve with far less labor and expense than she could the ordinary cake and cookies.
 These toothsome morsels need not be limited to the dessert service alone for when something unusual and ap- petizing is desired to serve with the soup or salad course they may also be pressed into service, and will form a welcome change from the customary pulled bread, croutons and cheese straws.
 In the selection of crackers to serve as the basis of these delicacies care must be exercised in regard to their size. Those of small size should al- ways be given the preference, and as they may now be purchased in tiny circles, cubes, oblongs and squares, their service can be greatly diversi- fled.

NUMBER OF DOCTORS
 IS INSUFFICIENT

Glasgow, Scotland, April 15-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press) The serious situation which has arisen owing to the dearth of physicians is empha sized by notice issued by the Scottish emer- gcncy medical service committee appeal Ing to the public to refrain from calling upon doctors unnecessarily. The appeal says
 Tt will help materially to relieve the great strain now imposed on medical prac- utoners remaining at their posts throughout the country-many of whom are at present working 15 or 16 hours day-if patients will send for the doctor early as possible and so allow him to arrange his daily round with a view to economy of time. When the case is not an urgent one and visit the next day would suffice, this should be stated.
 Local educational authorities are asked 10 note that, important as is medical in- spection of school children, it is not near ly so urgent as the care of those who are dangerously i'll. An appeal is there- fore made for the release of school medical officers entirely or in part during the present emergency
 Retired doctors are invited to offer their services. and the younger lecturers and assistants in the medical schools and hos pitals are asked to foreso their usual Eas ter holidays or to substitute for them Change of work"
