At The Broadway.

Daddy Long-Legs," the sen
satlOnal success Of this and last
season will come to the Broad
way Theatre in Denver for its
first performance in tie state of
Colorado next Sunday night,
Feb. 6. The play, which is a
dramatization by Jean Webster
of her own famous Daddy Long
Legs stories, has broken records
for long runs and big business in
New York, Chicago, San Fran
cisco and other large American
cities. 1t ran for 81 weeks to
capacity business in Chicago and
ran a season and a half at the
Galety Theatre in New York.
Last winter the company headed
by Renee Kelly in the stellar
role of Judy Abbott upset the
traditions of American theatrical
history by running five weeks to
capacity business at the Column
bia Theatre in San Froncisco.
No other play has eyer been Of
fered for more than three weeks
at the two dollar scale of prices
in any city West of Chicago. 1t
was the same company that Den
yer is to see next week that set
house records last year and the
early part Of this season in Los
Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Min
neapolis, Detroit, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, st Louis
and the big cities of the east.
And it may be added that this
cast is the finest Henry Miller
has ever sent on tour. 1t has
Byron Beasley, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
A. Eberle, A. Hylton Allen,
Lucia Moore, Julia Narney, Jose
phine Bernad and many other
noted players.
Special attention is called to
the fact that Daddy Long
Legs is booked only in Denver.

this biggest success of modern
years played by the splendid cast

the success of the fascinating
romantic comedy. For that rea-
son the Broaday Theatre in Den.

FIGHT ON TYPHOID
VERY SUCCESSFUL
STY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
SHOWS GRATIFYING RESULTS
IN CAMPAIGN WAGED.
NUMBER OF CASES DECREASE
campaign viii Be Wased During 1917
Under Or. Alexander, the Expert
Employed Last Year-Free
Vaccination.

Nashville, Tenn.-The first organic
ID campaign against typhoid fever by
he city health department of Nash
lille has shown the most gratifying re-
Iults. Health authorities consider that
he year is far enough advanced to
consider their records so far as ty-
2hoid fever is concerned complete, and
.hese records show that the typhoid
situation which had grown steadily
worse in the three years preceding the
present one has in 1916 been most sue
sessfully COPIED with. To date there
have been 2S6 cases of typhoid report
ID by the health department for 1916,
while the records for 1915 show All
cases.
The typhoid record for the two years
preceding 1915 showed steadily ris-
ing number of cases. This was the sit.
uation that was faced in the later
spring and early summer of this year,
and to meet it the health department,
under the direction of DR.. w. e. Hib-
ebtt, took the most vigorous steps.
Preparation for fighting typhoid had
been made in the appropriation for the
health department at the beginning OF
the year, when provision was made for
the employment of an assistant health
officer, especially assigned to the ork
Of Analysing the sources of epidemic
diseases.
For this position DR.. H. K. Alexan-
der was chosen, and through his eff
forts the city has succeeded not only
in decreasing the number of cases OF
typhoid, but will be in a much better
position to cope with the disease next
year. Data as to sources and circum-
stances surrounding typhoid cases this
year will be valuable aids In beginning
an early campaign next year.
Free Vaccination.
One OF the biggest forces in fighting
typhoid in the past year has been the
free vaccination offered by the city.
About 10000 people completed their
course OF vaccinations at the expense
of the city during the year, while be-
tween 1000 and 5000 incomplete in
EQUATIONS were made by the city.
A good idea of the results OF this
can be obtained by COM
parison OF the cases In the successive
months of this year and of 1915. The
record of cases reported for the two
years is as follows: January, 1915, 3;
1916, 3; February, 1915, /; 1916, 3;
March, 1915, 6; 1916, IL; April, 1915, Z;
1916, 2; May, 1915, 80; 1916, Il; June,
1915, "a; 1916, 81; July, 1915, 60; 1916,
65; August, 1915, SO; 1916. Il; Septem-
Der, 1916, Ga; 1916, 80; October, 1915,
So; 1916, 20; November, 1915, Al; 1916,
Il; December, 1915, IS; 1916, 5.
According to the city health author
tiles the great increase shown in the
number of cases In June, 1916, as
against June, 1915, was due in large
measure to the unusual prevalence of
contact cases. Especially notable was
the great number Of children who con-
tracted the disease in the past year.

DUMA REJECTS PROPOSALS
Russians Unanimously Turn Down
Germans Offer To Enter Into
Mediation.

London.-A Reuter- dispatch from
Petrograd says
1.-THE duma has unanimously passed
a resolution against the acceptance Of
the German peace proposals after a
spirited speech by the minister of for
eign affairs"
The text of the statement as re-
ceived here follows:
"The duma, having heard the state
ment by the minister of foreign af-
fairs, unanimously favors categorical
refusal by the allied governments to
enter, under present conditions, into
any peace negotiations whatever.
at considers that the German pro-
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof of the weakness of the enemy
and a hypocritical act from which the
enemy expects no real success, but by
which 1t seeks 20 throw upon others
the responsibility for the war and for
what happened during it, and to ex
culpate itself before public opinion in
Germany.
THE duma considers that prema.
ture peace would not only be brief
period of calm, but would involve the
danger of another bloody war and
renewal of the deplorable sacrifices by
the people. 1t considers that last
ing peace will be possible only after
a decisive victory over the military
power of the enemy and after definite
remuneration by Germany of the aspi
ration which renders her responsible
for the world war and for the horrors
by which 1t has been accompanied"
