1t is so easy to criticise ones
neighbor who has gone wrong
in morals, or made a failure in
business, and so hard to give
credit for the effect of the in
fiuences impelling him to disas-
ter, over which he has no con-
troll, that our criticism of others
is often very uncharitable Men
often say how good they would
have been, or what they would
have accomplished had they
been in the other mans place.
They do not stop to ask why the
fellow that was in the other
shoes did not succeed. If they
did they would often find the
man who went wrong, or who
failed, was entitled to great
credit for standing up so brave
ly under forces and burdens
that might easily have over,
thrown his accusers. Some
times the man who fails is &
greater here than another wht
wins.

herbs AS HOUSE
HOLD RENEDIES

From the earliest history o' tha
human race the world eyer, herbs,
roots aud hatks have been used as
household remedies. Those nations
who peopled the civilized world be-
fore the Christian era have handed
down to Us in their writings descTip-
tions Of the very same household RENE
edies that are in universal use today.
These remedies. were laboriously path
cred and placed il their crudeet farnl
upon the shelf for future use. That
these simple remedies were beaeiieiaf
is not doubted by anyone; today medi-
cal science universally accepts these
same remedies. Their medicinal value
having been proven by generations Of
constant use, the authorities ON ma
terra medica the world over agree
upon their medicinal qualities. Need
less to say these various roots, banks
and herbs do not have the same nedi-
cinal properties, but rather they cover
wide range of the many ills to which
the flesh is heir.
Medical science of the present day
has carefully studied the many rene
dies in various proportions and their
effects, and have scientifically demon
strated from the entire worlds pro-
ducts which are the best under certain
conditions for the many different dis
eases.
There is carefully selected and
scientific combination of simple veg
etable remedies. the original formula
of which is that of distinguished
German physician. 1t is not a patent
medicine, but the result of perfected
private formula which has for over
seventeen years proven most benefi-
| cial for the relief of all blood, stom-
| ach, liver and kidney diseases. 1t is
! put up in small chocolate coated tab
1 lets, the most convenient form for uni
versal use. It may have it's imita-
! lions, but it has no substitutes. On
merit alone it HIS made place for it
self and written its name high in the
world of family medicines, far above
many which claim to be just as good.

LYCEUM CURTAIN
 GOES UP TONIGHT

Some Baby,'' the clever farcical comedy will be at the Lyceum tonight It is a three-act play conceived for the purpose of rousing the disabilities and when you see into what per- feet rage, of complication an aged pro- lessor of chemistry, his daughter aged twenty, his sister on the other side of forty, the youthful suitor for the daughters hand, a retired general of sixty, and number of minor charao- ters can be involved in, you will un- derstand the reason for the laugh pro- ducing qualities attributed to it. The Elixir of Youth does it all-or rather the old professors firm belief that he has discovered this long sought magic that starts the action and keeps the audience on the Qui viVe up to the final curtain. Grace Merritt heads an excellent acting company Including Carolyn Freind, Grace Johnson, Ce- leste Leslie, Dorothy Gray, Don Mac Milan, Sterling Chiseldine, Delaney Barkley, Sam Black and William Moore.

CHAPLIN FILM FOR
 SATURDAY NIGHTERS

Tonight's performance at Keeney's ing of the new Mutual comedy, '"The Count" in which Charlie Chaplin is appearing to such advantage. The picture has been on the program all week and large audiences have en- joyed it every day. Chaplin has a role similar to those in which he rose to fame in 'The Count" and he makes the most of every opportunity. The picture is well worth seeing and those who have not attended any of the performances during the week should take advantage of this chance of falling under the spell of Chaplin and his varied eccentricities.
 Other good films are promised for this evening. Among them are the Victor attraction, The Latest Of Vampires" in which Harry Myers and Myrtle Gonzales appear. Then there will be the Vitagraph blue ribboner, 'The Conflict" in addition to the usual Universal releases.
 Patrons of the theater are calling attention to the vaudeville program this week. It is easily the best bill given in long time. The entertain CTS will conclude their New Britain engagements tonght. The talent in cludes Billy Barlow in "Follies of Vaudeville;" Schenk and D'Arville in song and conversation number and "The Devils Revue" a clever musi- cal comedy

MILLION 5 DOLLS"
 AT GRAND THEATER

The $1,0OO,OO0 Dolls" will be the offering at the Grand Theater, Hart ford, next week, with the usual matinees daily. It is said of this com binatiOn that it compares very favor ably with any of the girl shows, not only because of the exceptional abil- ities of the members of the cast and chorus, but for the lavish expenditure the Theatrical Operating company has made in the matter of scenic and costume equipment. Gorgeous to the limit are the stage settings, notably so the reproduction of the gold room at Monte Carlo, which forms part of the second act. Lew Hilton, the ac- complished comedian, heads the cast and is provided with the best oppor- . tunities he has ever enjoyed, while surrounding him are such favorites as Alice Lazar, Bob Ferns Slim Kel- lam, Arthur Lawson, Betty Powers and Grace Seymour. The chorus is composed of twenty eight girls, who can sing and dance. Cavo, an inn ported juggler, does original stunts.
 Today's performances at the Grand will conclude the engagement of the '"Twentieth Century Maids," with Jim Barton, the tramp comedian, as the star. The production, which has been keeping the large audiences laughing all the week, is entitled '"The AviatOr.'

 Katie dashed down the hall, terror of being left alone evidently lending wings to her feet.
 Can you dress yourself without me, Madge?' Lillian asked tenderIy. sI must dress too, you know, but I will come to you as soon as I get into some thing.
 AS you dress, throw the things out on the bed that you think you and Dicky will need for a couple of days stay with me. I will pack them Put Tn some changes of pajamas for Dicky, his tooth brush and shaving things
 Wont you tell me?' began, then stopped as Lillian made an impatient gesture.
 ''There's the Taxi Now.'
 I've haven't time," she said. "Al1 I know is that Grace Draper is hurt se- risously and Dicky slightly, and they're both at our apartment.
 She rushed into her room and I went blindly down the hall toward mine.
 I cannot remember much of what happened after that. I seemed to be benumbed physically and mentally. I remember dressing, slipping on the
 
 dress, over which I knew I could wear long coat. Then I remember going from Dicky's room to mine and back again, gathering up the things that thought we might need. Dicky had a largo, handsome travelling bag and it easily held all the things I wished.
 When Lillian came to my room she found me nearly through
 Good" she commented ssTf vo,1 have any extra things you can put them in my bag, for I'm only carrying back my toilet articles. Harry and I have plenty of extra things at home. Thank you," I returned Then I'll just slip in this lounging robe and slip pers of Dicky's.''
 "That's good idea.'' said Lillian, heartily. Give them to me and I'll put them in. You're all ready aren't your" 'All but my hat" I returned. "I'H be down stairs immediately
 'Theres the taxi now" she said as the honk of an automobile horn sounded in front of the gate.

theoretically speech is 2 mediun7 whereby we express our thoughts.
 Actually it is quite as often a screen whereby we try to conceal our lack of thoughts.
 The other day I heard two women talk about tho weather for fifteen minutes. First they spoke of the weather or the moment Git was a hot day), then they each expressed their preferences Tn weather, then they re- haShed the weather of the past season then, when 1t seemed as if they must drop the subject and say something they went back to last year and com pared it with this summer When I came away they were talking about the famous hot spell in 1911. Weather Talk Is the Small Change of
 Conversation.
 Now weather is a perfectly good casual subject, none better. As an ice-breaker or a gap filler there is nothing like it. I sometimes think perhaps that is what it was made for. But to use it as a subject of sustained conversation is quite another thing
 Weather is the small change of con- versation. To use it in extended talk is like paying big bills with pennies, permissible, out infinitely tiresOme and futile.
 It is so easy to keep still when you have nothing worth saying once you get the knack of it.
 And so distinguished.

When Silence Is Golden

A group of us were riding in a machine the other evening. It was a beautiful evening, the swift motion was pleasant, the outdoor fragrances that seem so much more poignant at night q wonder if it is because as we use our eyes less our other senses be- como keener?) were wonderfully sweet.
 We all knew each other reasonably well. There was no need for conver- satiOn, we really had nothing to say and yet we talked.
 We Had Nothing to Say and We
 Said It.
 We spoke of riding.
 Someone said: 'I like to ride in the day time better because you can see so much more.''
 We spoke of clothes.
 Someone said: "I always buy at the markdown sales because you get things so much cheaper
 Someone else said: "Yes, but things are pretty well picked over then"
 Why, at such times as these, when silence is golden and speech is chaff, do we persist in talking? If People Only Talked When They Had
 Something To Say.
 If they only spoke when they had something they really wanted to say, something that they thought would be really interesting and suggestive to the hearers, think how the volume of most peoples speech would be cut down!
