Maid in America.

Bubbling over with pretty girls in tableaux, ballet features. song num- bers, chorus marches and the novelty feature in the runway that extended down over the seats in the center of the orchestra, the New York Winter Gardens largest production, Maid in America, played at the Davis theatre on Tuesday evening before a more than capacity house.
 Florence Moore headed the company and had the audience ready to acknow- ledge from start to finish that they had rarely seen her equal as a come dienne. The special scenic effects fol- lowed one after another in splendid profusion throughout the two acts and twelve scenes through which the Win ter Garden beauties reigned with face and figure and voice and costuming. The audience liked - runway fea- ture, especially in the song I'm Look ing for Someone's Heart, with Miss Moore, Miss Louise Mink and the chorus, whom they kept trotting back and forth along the runway time after time in response to encores. It was one of the most elaborate scenic pro- auctions that the theatre has seen.

sERV-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and entrants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near it's perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation m the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent f1avors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for her mince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you and l would use on our table is what Is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few pies made which can be used as handily by the house. wife as mince meat for all 1t requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having 1t ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect- ed company ail1 1t will be a good dessert free from dirt. It is our thorough belief that a nince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mfnce meat was considered Q winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today it runs evs-y day of the year with Q regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country tho entire year. This of course means great increase in the use Of these goods over when minee meat was eaten only in the winter months which meana an in- creased sale over the former winter consumption.

TRIBUTE TO DR. TRACY.
Described As Whole Souled Gentle
 man of The Old School.

Writing in The Hartford Times of Monday, N. L. says of the late Dr. Dwight Tracy whose death occurred in this city on October s, 1915:
 The writer had the pleasure of meeting him several years ago, only once, when he was nearing 80. His genealogical life-work, he said, was done, as he had collected everything valuable as to the Tracy family for centuries. The Tracy line is very ancient in Western England. He was Q genial whole-souled gentleman of the old school, handsome, dignified urbane. He was a type of the old school geneaIcgist who had done his work and was retiring on his laurels; may the number never grow less. It was a great pleasure to meet one of that type, at first hand. and for the first time. Nowadays, we gen ealogists do not consider our work is ever done, as it is always "a thing of shreds and patches" which are never finished or fixed together in a firm fabric. If we could only fin ish something that would never be gainsaid or discarded, disrupted or found vague and misleading, how proud we would all be! But to be called to the other shore with work incomplete, aIS- learn then for the first time that there were errors in it, would be worse than death!
