FLO DAVIS, SOUBRETTE
AT GAYETY, NOW STAR
Popular Actress Broke Into Stage Life
Through Sheer Force Of Will.

Just like the heroine in the story was
the leave-taking from her home Of Miss
Flo Davis, the pretty young soubrette of
the "Sightseers," at the Gayety, this
week, when before dawn one morning
five years ago she stole away to join
sliding Billy Watson's company, then
Just about to leave New York for its trip
around the circuit
Her parents were very much worried,
for Miss Davis was then at the tender
age Of Is, but she "Just knew she could
sing and dance; she had been rehearsing
four whole weeks, while her innocent
elders believed her steadily but prosaicly
packing candles at Huyler's, and she had
no fears when she started out as chorus
girl to win her way In burlesque.
Il had never gone to dancing school,
but I could dance some and sing, and ]
was just crazy to go on the stage" said
Miss Davis yesterday, "and I knew ]
would make good. The folks objected al
first but when they had seen me work
and felt assured that I could take care
Of myself, they agreed to let me con-
tfnus''
Miss Davis was with Watson two years,
coming to the "Sightseers'' two years
ago as sousrette, which part she has had
since. Miss Davis now stands sixth on
the list OF most popular legitimate stage
people in the contest now being run by
the New York Morning Telegraph, and
with the votes she expects to get this
week she ought to be about fourth by
Sunday.

WASHINGTON INCLUDED
IN Big GAMBLING TRUST
Syndicate Headquarters Declared to
Be in Chicago.

CBy the International News Service. }
Chicago. Oct 3.-Federal prosecution of
the members Of a gigantic gambling
trust, headquarters OF which are in Chi
cagO, seemed probable today, following
revelations in the court of Federal Judge
Lands, which showed that the syndicate
has branches in all of the principal
cities Of the country and that its daily
profits run into thousands of dollars.
From the maze of testimony given before
Judge Landis-some of 1t direct, a great
deal Indirect and much of 1t extracted
by the "corkscrew" process-Charles F.
Clyne, United States district attorney, is
convinced the operations Of the trust are
nationwide and that action can be be-
gun under the lottery section of the
United States statutes.
Chicago is the center Of the handbook
betting on horse races throughout the
country, witnesses have admitted. A
news bureau which handles nothing but
racing information is one OF the most i'm
portant connections. Branches are To-
Gated at Clevelad, Buffalo, Washington,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Pittsburgh, Kan
sas City, Indianapolis, Detroit, Denver,
San Antonio, Oklahoma City and the
large cities.

The stars incline, but do not compel"
Wednesday, October 4, 1915.
This is threatening day. according to
astrology, for the Sun, Venus and Mer-
curry are all adverse during the early
hours. Uranus and Mars are friendly in
the afternoon and evening.
He who would succeed should avoid su-
periors in business, as the sway Is held
to make persons in authority arrogant
and difficult to deal with in enterprises
OF every sort
Persons who are seeking employment
should delay until the Sun is in the west
ern sky, and then they may have dubious
luck.
There is sign presaging peculiar con-
ditions that affect all places of amuse-
ment today. 1t is not promising aspect
for premieres or for the first appearance
OF stars.
Writers should take account of the
conhguration, which may incline them
toward discouragement. Important work
should be delayed.
sensational literary work is predict
ed. This will be by an unknown Ameri-
can, the seers foretell.
Leases and contracts are subject to un-
favorable direction while this govern
ment Of the stars continues. Do not sign
agreements involving money considera-
tions today.
Engineers and all who are interested in
constructive work should profit from the
rule Of the planets this evening.
Mexico Is still under a sinister power
that gives little hope of speedy settle
ment Of all difficulties.
Soldiers who wear the Omitted States
uniform should benefit from this direc-
ton OF the stars, which, however, tndi-
oates that the army will be the source OF
much national contention and misunder-
standing.
Solicitors Of every sort should make
the most Of today's helpful influences.
Dealing with animals, whether buying.

lives of suffering humanity, Is now
becoming a household word in Wash
ington- Daily the list of local people
who have been restored to health is
growing, and they gladly testify to
the relief experienced from Plant
Juice.
A recent signed testimonial from
Mr.. Frank Llmegrover. who lives on
r. T. D. No. 22z. Sandy Creek (Ve-
rona), and is retired business man
OF Pittsburgh, will be of interest. Mr..
Limegrover is well known in G. A. r.
circles and served in the Thirteenth
Pennsylvania Volunteers for nine
months under Col. Thomas Baine, par
tictpating in the battles Of Fredericks-
ourg' Chancellorsville and Gettysburg.
He said:
Two years ago I gave you a testi-
montal for Plant Juice, saying that II
had cured me Of a bad case Of ston-
ach trouble which had suffered from
for six years. My kidneys were az
fected and 1 had pains in my back.
All the medicines tried failed to help
me, and think I had tried them ali.
I suffered so with gas that It pressed
upon my heart and caused palpitation
and felt very weak and miserable.
A friend Of mine told me of your
medicine, Plant Juice, and advised me
to try it I noticed immediate results
after the first dose, and after taking
1t for several weeks I was feeling fine
and inside Of three months was a we'll
man-cOmpletely cured. From that
day to this I have never had a recur-
renee Of my former troubles; the pains
In my kidneys have entirely disap-
peared, have had no more trouble with
my stomach, and can eat anything 1
want without distress. I now verify
the former statement made by me for
the benefit Of friends who were skep-
teal and thought would not obtain
permanent relief"
