The banner bill of the season, that
is what Manager Craig says about the
show billed for the first half Of this
week at the Davis. The headline at

tentious vocal offering today. There

one Is soloist.. They sing high class
selections and popular numbers and
have been a tremendous hit in all the
larger Keith theatres. Another big
time novelty is Mile. DiPina, the
aerial marvel, form the New York
Hippodrome. A wonderful little artist
in daring and sensational feats in mid
air. The third act supplies the COM
edy for the show. Dayno and Hoyt in
the comical dialogue skit, The Italian
and the Boss. The Triangle feature
is Bessie Barriscale and Chas. Ray in
Thos. II. Ince's latest production, A
Corner in Colleens. a romance Of
Ireland. You'll be. amused and de-
lighted when you see Bessie Barri-
scale try to impersonate a man in
this play. Never did a dainter bit of
feminity try to wear trousers and the
mense. In fact the entire picture is
just one big rcllicking piece of fun.
The story IS of a happy Irish maid
who plays all manner of jokes on her
ardent lover. and never gives him a
moment of peace. The Keystone
comedy to complete the show is Fred

other Drop to $3.50 is Looked For.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 1o-Local
retail coal dealers yesterday an
nounced a reduction in the price of
coal, to take effect at once, by which
cut Of so cents a ton is made, bringing
the price down to $3.50 a ton for the
standard grades for household use
The explanation made for the cut in
coal prices is that the supply is now
coming along easier than it has been,
and on that account the dealers decid-
ed to make reduction. The outlook
for a continued supply Of ccal looks
good to the retail dealers, one of whom
stated that he believed that before
Jan. Is the price Of coal would take
another drop so that the price would
be around $3.50 a ton.
This cutting of the price came quite
Unexpectedly to the trade Most peo-

THREE THINGS.

Remember, three things come not back
The arrow sent upon its track
It will not swerve. 1T will not stay.
1t speeds; IT flies &C wound or Stay.
The spoken word so soon forgot
BY thee, but it has parisned not;
In other hearts It's living still.
And doing work for good or ii.
And the lost opportunity
That cometh back NJ more to thee.
In vain thou weep st, in vain dost

Those three will neVarmorc return.

RED LIPS and HEALTH

The first place that anemia, or thin
blood, shows is in the lips and gums
and the membranes that line the eye
lids. You may be naturally pale and
still be healthy but when these mem-
branes lose their bright red color your
blood is deficient in quantity or color.
Thin blood is q danger. It invites
disease. The organisms of the blood
fight off disease germs. Thin blood
means less power to do this. For in
stance, when you cut yourself it does
not heal 30 quickly if your blood is thin
and weak.
To build up. the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household word
for . generation, DR.. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. They tone up
the entire system, make the blood rich
and red, strengthen the nerves, in
crease the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of sun.
light, good wholesome food and fresh
air will do the rest.

The attention Of people along lower Wa
ter street was attracted at about go
Thursday morning by a series Of canine
yells that gave many the impression that
some luckless dog must have been ground
under the wheels of passing automo-
bile, and some Of the feminine members
Of the city's population are said to have
hid their faces for the moment, that they
might be spared the gruesome spectacle
which they felt must be within their
range Of vision. But 1t was nothing OF
the kind, for though the dog was there
and the yells were there, no automobile
had ANYTHING to do with it. What really
happened was this: A little black spaniel
dog was trotting down the street and his
course lay by L. S. Young's market. Mr..
Young has a cat which is engaged at GER
tain times Of the year in raising litter
of kittens, and now is one of the times.
so It is not unnatural that yesterday
when the dog came in sight she waited
until he got abreast Of the store and then
eft" on him. That Is just what she did.

until he was we'll up the hill. A young

the wall into the little grass plot in the
station yard to head of the dog. and took
her back to the store. but even then she
wanted to get away and resume her
