CAPACITY HOUSE
WITNESSES SHOW
The Lilac Domino" Surprised
Il Big Gathering at the
Orpheum Last Evening

Last night u capacity house, one
which was by many odds larger than
has been seen at the Orpheum for a
long time, witnessed the only per-
formance in this city of Andreas Dip
pels production of the Lilac Domino" "
The show is distinctly of the musical
type, with the usual rapid-fire musical
comedy ending, for of course every
thing must end right.
The Domino is young girl, un-
accustomed to the revels of society,
but in mischief she attends a bal
masque and there meets her fate in
the form of man who first wants TO
marry her because she has plenty of
money, then later because he finds
that he is really in love with her.
Tuneful-delightfull SOS the play.
But unfortunately, the acting ability
of the company at large was way be-
low par. There was nothing which
stood out pre-eminentiy enough TO win
and hold the attention of the audience,
except Yvonne Darle. for it must be
said that she was q really coquettish.
innocent Lilac Domino, with a vocal
ability which, while not extraordinary,
was beautiful and pleasing in every
way And she knew how TO sing.
Ia ken as q whole, THE Lilac Domino"
was to a large part OF the audience q
disappointment, mainly due to the
lack of stage grace and ability TO act.

MAKING PICTURES OF
SEEDS IS NEW ART

Seeds of various kinds were used in
stead of pigments in making an in
teresting barnyard picture which is
displayed at one of the exhibits of the
Panama California Exposition at San
Diego. This is a portrait of a white
rooster which from short distance
might easily be mistaken for an oil
conyas or pastel. In truth, however,
it is a most painstaking arrangement
of seeds. Kaffircorn seed, for instance,
was used to produce the predominating
tone of brown, while white Egyptian
corn gives the picture another shade of
the same color. For part of the back
ground the seed of the Eucalyptus was
used, and black onion seed for the Jet
field. Some of the white was made by
crushing seed corn into a paste and
applying it to the picture. The tones
are wonderfully soft, the lines good,
considering the materials used, and the
effect of the whole quite striking. The
picture is reproduced in the November
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATAR-

If YOU know of some one who is

noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand 1t to them and you
will have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. In England scientists for long
time past have recognized that catarrh
is constitutional disease and neces-
sarly requires a constitutional treat
ment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air pass
ages and force the disease into the mid
die ear which frequently means total
DOWN the air passages towards the

which is used eXtensivel-- in the damp
English climate is constitutional

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins ii.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub il
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsif1ed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and

MAN alSII
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This Is recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. 7. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator OF uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of int1am-
Annation - as backache, scalding urine
Snd frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
In the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
30 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for 50-cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him sample OF your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE: French scientists affirm that
"Anurlc" Is tnirty seven uhles lhoiS
active than hthia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases as "Anuric" I"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's schievementl
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

Statements emanating from Mexican
officials that General Jacinto Trevino

Promised Protection
The refugees declared that Mexican
officials at Parral, Camarago and
Chihuahua City had urged them not
to leave Chihuahua State, promising
protection against further violence,
provided they would gather at cen
trail points under the guns of Carranza
garrisons Many of the foreign resi-
dents, they added, had accepted these
proffers and would remain, although
a number announced their intention
of coming out on train which left
Chihuahua City last night.
A number of Americans aboard
the train made the statement that
General Obregon is practically pris-
oner at Queretaro. The popuIarityvhe he
acquired while military chief in
charge of the Carranza interests on
the border is declared to have met
the displeasure of General Carranza.
Several refugees expressed the
opinion that General Argumedo who
defeated Carranza forces in a battle
at Escalon January 10 had a plan to
attack and capture Juarez They as

10 Exhihtt RnIy

To Exhibit Body
The body of General Jose Rodriguez
former Villa officer, was brought to
Juarez last night. General Rodriguez
was officially reported to have been
executed last Thursday. Mexican
authorities announced their intention
of placing the body on exhibition to-
day for the purpose of proving to
Americans that the alleged leader of
the bandits who massacred eighteen
foreigners at Santa Ysabel had been
executed.
On October IA last, General Rodri-
Suez left JuareZ at the head of 1900
men to aid in the Sonora campaign
which marked the downfall of Villa.
Then he rode in a private car bear
ing his name on a gilded plate. His
body was returned to Juarez in a
boXcar.
Col. Baca Wales, a Villa bandit
leader, reported by Juarez officials to
have been executed at Palomas, was
brought in alive on the train which
carried the body of General Rodriguez.
The officials said he would be
executed.
