SEEKS TO ABOLISH
 MEDICAL ADVISOR

Commissioner Barber stated last night that he would introduce a resolution at the meeting of the board of commits soners recommending the consolidation of the offices of medical supervisor and city physician and requiring one man to be appointed in the place of Dr. Charles Whelan, whose resignation becomes eff fective on the 1st, to fill both positions.
 Last year the city spent $3650 for the maintenance of the office of medical supervisor' said MT. Barber. This amount was expended for the purpose of raying the salary of the physician and four trained nurses, two white, and two negroes This amount is too much and the merging of the two jobs into one will be more economical to the city and at the same time give satisfaction

IT has almost become a tradition Tn
 theatrical circles to believe that "al
 A starr revvals could only. achieve a success d'estine; that theabig note of dra- matic greatness could never be struck by an "all-star" cast and that resurrected plays, no matter how good they were, or how much they had been changed, reno- vated and repaired, or how fond the memories attached to them, could never come, back in their pristine strength; at least most of us had these delusions; but now behold at last there has been genuine "all-star' revival of play that was immensely popular in it's day-the best thing that Mr. George Brownson Howard ever did, and in the hands of MT. Winchell Smith and MT. Victcr Mapes, has achieved an even greater success than the fondest well wishers could hope, and it has proven that a play of 2o odd years ago be rewritten entlrely changed, with only the old theme as background and be stronger and finer under these propitious conditions than ever before.
 As l sat in their private car yesterday, entirely surrounded by stars. MT. Will liam IT. Crane. MT. Maclyn Arbuckle, MT Thomas w. Ross, Miss Zoffie Ti,bury, and Miss Edith Taliaferro. my first thought was:
 How could any play be anything but success with such an array of talent? There they were, representative of the best, the most distinguished, the most noted and the most popular members oi
 the theatrical profession.
 To Mir Crane, the dean of the Ameri- can stage" was given the honor of the interviews"
 As I shook hands with this charming gentleman and his bright, sunny smile radiated about each and all of us, l thought:
 It is surely worth while to be 70 and still be punctual in your work; that other much younger people set their watches 1 by you; it is surely worth while to be I 70 and yet so sunny that others stop their 1 tasks when you put in an appearance in
 order to smile and be sunny with you; f it's surely worth while to be 70 and fla
 nous, and yet so modest that when you
 are cornered' and posed by main force
 like a photographer corners his victims,
 you are gracious and charming and toler- ant and big!''
 l It is that sort of punctuality and honesty
 and modesty and graciousness With | which MT. Crane has rounded out ms
 nearly Il years, and with which he mas
 made for himself place on the Amer
 ican stage which is unapproached by any other living actor today.

STOP EATING MEAT If
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
neys II Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a w~ell-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary i-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutral:ze the acids in
the urine SO it nc longer i~rritates. thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions Of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean. thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

Coats Of this kind are lined for

by the management Of the cuffs. These
are cut with a certain eccentricity or
trimmed noticeably SO that they are
in keeping with the collier, which Ia
