On the Great White Way
Byo.o Special Core pondent ofths Telegram

NEW YORK. Jan. 25-Another
famous Tenderloin resort Is to be
consigned to sthe,boruse of ,hazy mem
cries. The auctioneers have sold
the gofgeous trappings that were the
lure o the Cafe. de l'opefa at Forty
Second street, Broadway and Seventh
avenue. Y,
The building is1to be RACED to
make way for the home Of clothes
shop. The sale dissipated forever
the froths of one Of Broadway's
greatest bnbbles--a bubble that was
spricked by the spiked-tail ola Full
dress" suit, as they still say in Indi-
annapolis.
1t was the enforced edict when
the Cafe de l,Opera opened in De-
icember. 1909, that no man who did
not conform to the dress chart rules
Iof the management should be served
after 9 O'Clock In the evening. That
is to say that unless you were in
evening dress you received the rough
toss.
The Cafe de l'opera did not last
long and Louis Martin and the Cafe
de Paris tried to make 1t right with
the long suffering public, but the
travelling statesmen could not forget
that he was forced to hire q dress
suit or ANONYMOUSLY get the sack
suit dismissal.
Rube Marquard and his wife,
blossom Seeley. the actress. are seen
daily on Broadway these days. Rube
has become one Of the Rialto's fash
lion plates, and what he wears is con.
sidered quite au fat, as Kid Gleason
would say.
The other day Rube and Mrs,
IRube were at tea dansant when
some gossip buzzed in with the IN
formation that prominent moving
picture actress had Just signed q
contract for $50 1000 a year.

Ia girl. isn't IT." saidsAirs Marauard.

Isider st a lot of money for a regi-
Iinent.p
And yet the critics said that as a
comedian Marauard is first class
ball player.

TOO SHORT SHEETS
SAY TRAVELLING MEN
Not Yet Satisfied with Bed Coverings
and Are Making Effort to
Amend Law.

The Iowa Association of Travellers
i have several legislative matters that
will come up for discussion at a smok-
/ er to be held within the next two or
three weeks at which time the asso-
citation will also hold its annual meet:
| ing and election of officers, says Des
Moines paper. Hotel and railroad
regulation are of chief interest to the
travellers. Plans for the annual
picnic OF the association will also be
completed at the smoker.
A law which the travellers are es.
Ipecially anxious to see enacted is one
that will require station agents to
post the exact time at which trains
overdue will arrive and depart. Such
ia law would effect great saving of
time and would avoid much inconven-
fence for other passengers as we'll As
the travellers, they say.
The hotel inspection law which was
la product of theirs is not working to
their satisfaction and they wish to
have it amended to take the collection
of fees for inspection out of the
hands of the deputy inspectors The
blh, which will enable persons to
vote away from the places Of their
legal residence is also Endorsed by the
travelling men.
Efforts to stop the tipping evil are
being directed through campaign
intended to educate the hotel men to
the payment of higher salaries to their
help. The legislation, which has al
ready been enacted through the eff
forts of the travellers includes the law
which fixes the iength of bed sheets
at ninety-six inches, which is still too
short. they say, and the law requiring
fire escapes on hotels. They wish an
amendment to the sheet law which
will provide for the use of caps" or
coverings Tor the end of the blankets
on hotel beds.

A wellknown authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid

He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fern enta-

pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast while it is
effervescing, and furthermore. to con-
tinue this for one week While relief
