 TOMORROW

baugh and his assistants search ed libraries and museums for weeks to get sketches of Boston at the time of the action. The pillory which stands in the center of the square, a silent reminder of the price of a miss step, is replica of the instruments of punishment so popular with our forefathers. The buildings are con- structed of logs and the chinks filled with mud. The roofs are of a heavy thatch. The governors mansion at one end of the square is modelled on descriptions of the magnificent" houses of those days. The jail. though it would be easy game for the cracksman of today, gives a true idea of the small wooden-barred prisons of old New England.
 The fifth chapter of the popular se- rial, The Great Secret with the two favorite stars, Francis N Bushman and Beverly Bayne will. be on the Wednesday and Thursday program. Added features on the bill will be this weeks release of the Fox film com- edy and the Hearst-Pathe news with the up-to-the-m minute war news from all parts of the world.

NAYLOR PLAYERS IN
 SEASONS SUCCESS

Great plays, like everything else, are sometimes the result of environ. ment. They are produced from sur foundlngs that are conducive to greatness. Such is the case with '"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" playing this week at the Lyceum. John Fox
 Jr., wrote the book from which Flu gene Walter evolved this play John Fox lived for many years in the Blue Ridge mountains on the Virginia Tennessee border line. He knew the people woh lived there as we'll as he knew life. There he discovered June Tolliver the central character in his romance. And in June he found girl so unlike other girls. people of this century know that she was at once a creature new to America.
 The Walter Naylor players by their production of '"The Trail of the Lone some Pine." have added to their glory. Nor have they diminished in any way the glory that surrounds a play presented by some of the great est theatrical organizations in the country. All who have seen the pro- duction grant it is the best effort made in the local field of tlreatricals for many moons. Miss Virginia Perry to whom has been allotted the part of June" is particularly adapt ed to play the role on account of her histronic ability and her youthful in- fluences She was born and reared in Virginia and knows the manner and character of the people in the Old Dominion. Better, she has wonderful natural dialect that is par ticularly suited to the playing of yune Sharing some of the honors with Miss Perry is Miss Dorothea An tel who is cast as "Loretty" Tolliver, the little cousin of June. Both Miss Perry and Miss Antel must appear on the stage in bare feet, because the scenes are laid in the mountains and all little girls up in the Blue Ridge country go shoe]ess.
 To Walter Naylor who has directed the production of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine there must go an in- finite amount of praise. He has cast the members of his company ad- 1nirably. Philip Quin and Ralph Murphy, as engineers who, seek their fortunes in the war-lille camp of the 'Collivers, have never had better op- portunities to do better things. The same applies to other m members of the company, notably Miss Margie Dow.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Ts blets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-therc's no need of having a sallow comple xion-dark rings under your eyes-pimples- bil- ious look ir your face-dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician ill Ohio, perfected a vegetable com- pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub sttute for calomel, are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be en- joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities:

SIDE TALKS
Low Lights
BY RUTH CAMERON

In my paper the other morning, l observed that woman lecturer on home decoration laid down set of rules for making the home attractive.
 Briefly they were as follows:
 "Use plain wall paper if you are going to have pictures.
 "Use slip covers for upholstered furniture so that you can wash them. Don't crowd mantlepieces and sideboards.
 Don't display family photograp phs. Don't have lace curtains. Hang curtains straight and cut them off at the sill for an informal room. Don't use Christmas presents un- less they fit in with your scheme. (One wonders if her friends and rel atives never visit her home and look about for their gifts). She Doesn't Approve of Rockers. Don't have rocking chairss Chairs are not meant for gymnastic practice vous."
 Except for the last I can put ditto marks under all these rules. I must say I do like a rocking chair here and there except when I meet them in the dark.
 But it seemed to me that she Cor whoever reported her) had left out the most important of all.
 DON'T HAVE HIGH LIGHTS.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says We can't look or feel right with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions Of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath 2" you say. We'll it IS guaranteed to per- form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts. '
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonfuI of limestone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It kidneys and the thirty feet of in-a testines of the previous days wastes sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food. for the millions of bacteria which in-e fest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks. foul breath bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments. e
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to- obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing. sweetening and freshening, so limestone ph osphate- and hot water act on the stomach, liver, Kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, be-, cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the, blood, while the bowel pores do.

remotely approaches my emphatic feelings on the subject. Nothing Makes a Room So Unhomc-
 like As High Lights.
 Of all the things that make room unhomelike and unattra ctive there is nothing, in my mind, so bad as a high placed light,-especially an unshaded one.
 Of course the strain on the eyes in reading or working by such a light is tremendous but I'm attacking the practice from another angle today.
 AS you pass down the street some night notice the glimpses of rooms you get.
 Some impress you as homelike, some as dismal.
 How were they lighted? Nine times out of ten you will find that the homelike rooms were lighted by a ing a pleasant, concentrated light on the family circle.
 A Low Light and an Open Fire.
 The low light is almost as sym bolical of home as the open fireplace.
 A woman said to me the other day, There's something the matter with that front room of mine It isn't cheerful and inviting'
 I visualized the room and knew in a minute,-it has chandelier light.
 Sometimes when I catch glimpses of rooms that might be made home like by a low light I feel as if I must go in and tell their owners.
 But so far, as doubtless you'll be glad to know, I never have.

CORDIAL WELCOME TO

Recalling with good deal of pleas ure the days when they lined up out side the theater for more than an hour before the box office opened to see him in 9 melodramatlc ten- fWent-thirt" the plaVgOerS of the city are turning out in large numbers
 this week to give a well deserved well come to Corse Payton, whose name was a household word in New Eng land a decade ago, when he was fa- nous as a matinee idol. and who is now appearing at keeney's where he
 tops the vaudeville progrm. Pay
 ton still possesses that peculiar charm
 which made him popular with
 theatergOers the world over and in the sketch which he is now present. ing, he demonstrates his power over the emotions of his auditors: The skit is part of Willard Mack's great play, Kick In'' and it is splendidly pre- sented by MT. Payton and his asso- ciates. He is supported by Edna May Spooner, William Slider and Jay E Elwood. Payton enjoyed more popu- larity in his day than any other actor of his class and in New Britain as well as other cities his admirers are legion.
 There are other good acts on this weeks bill and the show on the whole is above the average.
 Besides the vaudeville there are two big photoplay features, one of which, Mary Pickford in "Less Than
 the Dust,' is a show in itself This
 picture is the $300,000 feature which
 has attracted nation attention.
 It is in eight reels and is the biggest
 attraction in which the famous little star has appeared. The other big
 film for tonight is "The Blacklist,

up curiously at Janet's

Walt looked up curiously at Janet S paradox.
 You're going to help Roy Nicon to forget you by working for him again ?'' he asked.
 ''Yes," Janet said, thoughtfully. Most of us think only of out of sight, out of mind We forget that there IS also the absence which makes the heart grow fonder.' I think one of these holds true for men; the other for women. But if there are any illu- sions to be killed as an aid to forget ting, absence is the surest way to keep them alive.
 Roy thinks I am essential to his happiness. I am not. I am only use- ful-or ke thinks so-to his magazine. If refuse to go back to. the job. even for a time, he will have difficulty in getting some one else in my place. oh, I don't mean that he can't get any one as able. It is only that, he thinks so."
 Well, if I don't stay on the maga- zine while he is in Europe he will think he misses me. But he will be only missing my work on the maga- zine. He wont distinguish, however. He will be nursing the illusion that 1t is the woman, not the worker he is de- prived Of Don't you see? But if I keep on with the work while he Is in Europe, he will have the bother of the magazine off his mind-please don't think me conceited, Walt. l am only telling you what he has repeated to me often. Well, having the maga- zine off his mind, he will have most of me off his mind. And I have no fears that Europe, travel and his own efforts will fail to Obliterate the rest of me from his thoughts!"
 Walt nodded.
 You're the doctor in this case, dear he said.
 Janet sat down and replied to Roy Nicoll's letter:

SUFFRAGE EMISSARY
FAILS TO SECURE
! BACKING IN SENATE

Just when the White House was an
nouncing the pardon OF the sixteen
suffragettes who were sent to Occo-
guam, Miss Maud Younger. one of the
leaders of the National Woman's
Party, visited the Capitol and made
an appeal TO Senators in behalf of the
imprisoned women.
Miss Younger was seeking TO have
the sentences OF the women taken
up on the floor of the Senate, and
objection made by Senators to the
manner in which they had been
treated.
Miss Younger was unable to make
much progress in this direction. She
consulted Senator Poindexter of
Washington, who told her that he
was not in sympathy with the meth
DDS of the militant suffragettes.
He told her that he did not believe
that plcketing and similar methods
which had been resorted to in Eng,
land should be tried here, and that he
believed that the course which those
who were responsible for picketing
the White House had taken had cost
the cause much support.

peaIed to, but without success, as he

OF the suffrage fight for nearly two
weeks, but Miss Lucy Burns, the act

the President had 'inhieted a pardon
upon the sixteen suffragettes at DC

The statement follows:
Everything we have been doing
has been done with the idea of OBJ
tanning the passage OF the suffrage
amendment to the Constitution. The
Presidents action infiicts a pardon
upon women who did not ask for It.
Pardoning the suffragettes is not
