Chas. b. Hanford at Grand Today and
Tomorrow.

While Charles B. Hanford was hay
ing his long run in Chicago in that
impelling pictorial drama of the hero
ism of men of our OWL times, the
undying story of the expedition of
Captain Robert Falcon Scott to the
South Pole, the Chicago Tribune in
it's review said: 1.-The journey of Cap
tain Scott to death and glory is record
ed in moving pictorial records taken
by Herbert G. Pointing, Fellow of the
Royal Geographical Society, official
camera artist with the Scott expedi-
ton. The cinematograph has faith
fully recorded all that memorable trip.
They are great men and brave men.
Patriotism and bravery will urge men
| to deeds unbelievable. Yet bravery,
| patriotism, greatness, ambition seem
small words to apply to these men as
we watch them fighting battle that
seems to go nowhere" These wonder
| full pictures will be shown for the last
times at the Grand today and tomor-
row.
| Maude Adams Monday.
Charles Frohman Will present
Maude Adams in J. NJ. Barrie's COM
edy, Quality Street." at the Grand
Monday. Miss Adams is so charming
and SO popular an actress that she
she is going to be particularly so IN
this work, which shows the gifted
Barrie in one of MS most delightful
moods.
1t Is upwards Oh ten years SlilCe MISS
Adams laid aside this play. If it had
been an ordinary play it would have
been quickly forgotten, but it is re-
markable how many people who wit
messed the work recall it and the
sweetness of its story.
Sousa Coming May IL.
The popularity or Sousa and his
band seems undated, judging from
the great interest that is being mani
tested in the appearance of this IA
nous organization since it was an
nounced that it will be here at the
Grand Opera House on May IL. This
is not surprising for it is no mean
test of any musicians calibre to meet
the same class of music lovers year
after year, and to grow steadily in
their estimation. Yet such has been
the unique experience of John Philip
Sousa- The public has never become
weary of his programmes or his
music.
Novelty Review.
A melodrama of little higher class
than usual one with all the exciting
climaxes and the humor of the rep
ertoire plays, was presented by the
night. The play was well staged, the
acting was good and the audience was
pleased.
Miss Bessie Dainty. the pretty little
leading woman, took the part of the
old lighthouse keepers daughter. Her
work was excellent, the character
seemingly Is just suited to her mode of
acting. Lawrence ArnSman, as Fred
erick Elmer, played his part with such
consistent ease and ability, as to Gre
ate even a more favorable impression
than in the play the first of the week.
Harry 3. Castle played the character
of the old sea captain well.
Other members of the cast: Nat
Burns, Alfred Killian, Barry Corners,
Joseph Kearsley, Ira Earle, Lyman

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaseless). is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampOoing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it In. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

ESSENTIAL FOR LAYING HENS
1t is Of Much Importance That Ample
Supply Of Grit and Lime BE Kept
Before Fowls Always.

A poor hen never lays. She must
have surplus fat to make the yolk.
The old theory that hens do not lay
because they are too fat is no longer
believed, as it has been found out
that as the yolk is composed of fat, it
follows that she must have more fat
than she needs to keep up her condi-
tion to produce eggs
But unless you keep them supplied
with something with which to grind
up their food in order to make it into
eggs. all your grain and labor are an
absolute waste. They must have grit.
good. sharp grit. Keep a box filed
and always before them of cracked
china, sand and oyster shells, of equal
parts.
Lime, too, is quite as necessary, as
the shell of an egg is composed of
lime. A box of air-slaked lime should
be kept always at hand. One should
have barrel or SO of it on hand every
fall, and use it freely about the hen
house. Sprinkle it beneath their
perches after cleaning out each morn
ing, and always keep in the nestboxes
to absorb the dampness.
When the nights are very cold, It
is good plan to heat the grain very
hot in the oven before feeding, and
always remember to feed early enough
SO that they can see to get it.
A hot mash made of Indian meal
and some kind of small grain, and wet
up with hot water is good for break
fast now and then. Feed on long
boards so that all can get their share.
II the hens do not seem to be taking
enough grit supply, put few handfuls
of it in the mash; a little red pepper.
too. will warm them up.
Remember, the hens are early
risers. and do not keep them waiting
for their breakfast II you want them
to fill the egg basket. They viii re.
pay all such courtesy.
