THE PINK LADY

The international musical comedy
de luxe, THE Pink Lady," will be at
the Opera House, Jan 25th.
This is the only engagement of the
biggest musical hit of the decade in
this vicinity. That it will be appre-
ciated is already evidenced by the
mail orders.
"The Pink Lady" comes here with
an established reputation and it is
promised that it will live up to every
expectation. The piece, after a brief
try-out en- tour, was originally pre-
sented in New York, and ran at the
New Amsterdam Theatre there for 400
performances without break, and la
ter was presented at the Globe Thea
ire, London, where our foreign cous-
IFS enthusiasm was marked.
It's record bespeaks wonderful
vogue for "The Pink Lady" and when
you see it the reasons are apparent
1t is the happiest combination of book
and music yet devised for stage enter
tainment of the light opera sort, and
to this has been added a production
which, for breadth, class and harmony
is a standard work, within its happy
limitations.
The book and lyrics are by C. M. S.
Mcclellan, who adapted them from the
French farce, lie Satrye," by Georges
Bcrr and Marcel Guillemaud. Ivan
Caryll composed the accompanying
score. In this he reached the acme of
popularity with his tuneful and catchy
My Beautiful Lady" waltz, which has
served to establish the fame Of the
piece. But in all there are IS othe /.
numbers and each is delight OF it's
kind. A large company will be seen
in the production, including the Pink
of Perfection" chorus.

NOW ABLE To WORK
FOR FIRST TIME IN
FOURTEEN YEARS

q am 70 years old and hadn't been
able to strike lick of work for over
II years until I got to taking this
Tanlac medicine" said MIR. H. W.
Miller, at Jacobs Pharmacy, Sat-
urday.
Fourteen years ago had a terrible
spell of typhoid fever, and since that
time hadn't been able to use my right
arm to do any good. 1t felt weak and
numb and l had no strength in it,
but 1 didn't get Tanlac for this trou-
Bile. as l had no idea l would ever be
able to use it again.
Il bought it for kidney trouble, rheu-
matism and pains in my back Well,
it relieved me of these troubles al
right, but strange to say it helped my
arm, too. Yes, sff, it has actually made
my arm so much better that l can now
do a lot of work-something I hadn't
been able to do in all these years.
don't know how to account for it, but
that's what actually happened, and
all my neighbors who have known me
for years will tell you the same
thing.
Going back to my other trouble,
suffered a great deal from my back and
Joints and was so nervous all the time
l couldn't sleep much; Sometimes l
would get so nervous and strung-up
that the least noise would almost make
me jump out of bed before 1 could con-
troll myself.
my stomach was all out of shape,
too, and 1 couldn't eat to do any good.
Nothing seemed to taste right, and
got so finally l would have vomiting
spells after trying to eat. To tell you
the truth, l was in mighty bad fix
and was just getting weaker and
weaker all the time. don't feel that
way now, and after taking only three
bottles of this Tanlac, l have gained
Is pounds in weight, besides my stom-
ach feels just like had had new one
FUt in, and 1 eat and sleep just like
school boy. The rheumatic pains arc
all gone, and am feeling better and
stronger in every way
1T helped my wife, too. She is
now on her second bottle, and it is do.
ing her more good than anything she
has tried in years. She was in al
most as bad fix as l was and it has
relieved her of ailments she has had
tol a long time. Both Of us think
there is nothing too good to say about
Tanlac, and can understand why ev-
erybody is talking about it."

European War Has FoOorably
Affected Conditions in Korea

pean war has so far favorably affect
ed the industry and commerce of Ko-
rea, according to Mr.. Komatzu, COM
missioner of foreign affairs for the
government general. 1t is true, Mr..
Komatzu pointed out, that the foreign
trade in graphite, soya beans, cot
ton and some other articles, was dis
advantageously influenced at the out
set of the war, but this tendency has
changed much for the better. The
export in cereals, ox-hides, live cat
tie and other articles has had an ac-
tive demand, especially from Russia,
which has also placed large orders for
boots and ammunition pouches with
Korean companies.
The total figures for exports during
the year ending July, 1915, stand about
AZ million yen, or $4,000, 900 This
shows an increase of IL million yen
as compared with figures for the pre-
ceding and corresponding periods. AS
for imports, prices in wheat -four,
matches, drugs and medicines and a
few other articles rose somewhat at
the beginning of the war but fell af
forwards to the usual standard. Some
f1uctuation in the prices have since
been experienced, but it appears that
this cannot be charged necessarily 20
the war. The total figures for i'm
ports during the twelve months above
mentioned were about 65 million yen,
which shows a decrease of Is million
from tn epreceeding year. This means
that the excess of imports over ex-
ports has decreased by about 10 mil
Lon yen during the period, as against
the preceding year.
Mr.. Komatzu said that difficulty was
experienced in manufactures to soma
extent owing to the scarcity of chem
icals, but this seems to have been
overcome at present. Among other
things, tobacco has found a new mar
ket in China and there is good pros
pect in store for tobacco manufac-
ture in Korea. He emphasized that
transportation by sea has been affect
ed by the war only to very slight
degree, and that even new lines Of
regular service have been opened be-
tween different ports of Kora and
Vladivostock, ports in Shantung pro-
vince and other places.
There is one thing, however, which
is causing a great deal of inconven-
fence to the extensive mining industry
in Korea and that is the scarcity Of
dynamite. This is interfering serious
ly with the engineering and minig
work. Before the outbreak of the
war the greater part of the explos-
ives used in Korea was imported from
Glasgow, but the quantity imported
has steadily decreased until at the end
of last month it ceased altogether. nj
Japan proper dynamite is manufac-
tured by military authorities, but on
account of large orders for Russia it
il text to impossible to buy the ex-
plosive either from the government
factories or private concerns.
In vie wof the danger that the sup
ply of dynamite will be completely cut
off and all engineering work stopped
efforts are being made to buy explos
ives in Japan, regardless of price, and
at the same time orders have been
placed in the United States. The
American consignments are expected
to arrive in Korea by February.
