The much talked of comedian Bill
lie Plumlee and his clever company of
actors, musicians and vaudeville ar
lists, opened his weeks engagement
last night to a representative, first
night audience. To say that every
one was delighted would be putting it
mildly. The play "Clouds and Sun
shine" tells a pleasing and. interest
ing story in an entertaining way. The
cast without an o. sption was first

ity in both speech and action.
The vaudeville numbers we're all
good and the entire show has a stamp
Of distinction that places it far ahead
of any attraction ever playing u
city. Tonight this splendid company
will be seen in the four act heart
story "Just Plain Folks" with MI.
Plumlee in another of his favorite sill
~ kid parts. There will also be a
change Of vaudeville num-
bers and standard selections by the
orchestra.
Tomorrow the attraction will be the

Orange Blossoms" dramatized in four
This great play gives Mr.. Plum
an opportunity Of appearing in a

WHAT MAKES BREAD STALE.

The apparent dryness Of stale bread
is not due to drying or loss of water
but to shifting of the moisture from
the inside to the crust. When first
taken from the over the crust cools
quickly but the moist crumb retains
heat much longer. But as the temper
allure gradually falls to that Of the
surrounding atmosphere, the moisture
tends to pass outward leaving a COM
~paratively dry crumb and a moist
crust.
If slightly stale bread is put into
the oven for a few minutes some of
the moisture will be driven back into
loaf, restoring in part the fresh con-
sistency of the bread. In most families
homemade bread is never allowed to
stand long enough to become stale.
The modern housewives best aid in
better bread baking is the Universal
Bread Maker, a simple proven device
which Fountains is showing in con-
nection with The Universal Efficiency
Contest to be held April 9th to 14th.

THE CRITIC.

Dad reads about the weddin's and he
snorts like all git out.
He reads the social doin's with a most
derisive shout.
He says they make the papers for the
wimmen folks alone,
He'll read about the parties and he'll
fume and fret and foam.
He says Of information it does not
contain a crumb,
But you ought to hear him boiler
when the paper doesn't come.
He's always first to grab it and he
reads it plumb clean through,
He doesn't miss an item or a want ad
that is true.
He says, "They don't know what we
want, them old newspaper guys,
I'm going to take a day some time
and 60 and put EN- wise,
1t sometimes seems as though they
must be deaf and blind and
dumb"
But you ought to hear him boiler

THROWING DEAD ANIMALS IN
THE RIVERS.

Mr. l.. P. Aldridge has requested
The Commonwealth to again call to
attention of the public that it is a
violation of the law for anyone to
throw the carcasses of any animal
which has died from any infectious
or contagious disease into any
running streams or lakes, and that
it is a duty required by law of every
body to bury or burn the carcasses
of such animals. Mr.. Aldridge says
that right recently he has observed a
number of dead hogs floating down
the Tallahatchie River in front of
Ashwood plantation, and that the peo-
pie along the different Rivers, bayous
and lakes should put a stop to this
habit of throwing carcasses of dead
animals into those streams and there
by spreading cholera and other dis
eases throughout the country.

Canada Breeds Buffalo.

An advisory board on wild life pro.
lection has recently been appointed by
the Canadian government, and special
efforts will be made to preserve the
fur-bearing animals and big game that
constitute the chief natural resource
Of the Northwest territories. In this
connection it is interesting to learn
that more than 5000 head of bison are
now under government protection in
Canada. These include about 2,4OO in
the herd, originally Of $50 head. pur-
chased in the United States in 1907,
and kept in the buffalo park at Vain
wright, Alberta; and a wild herd Of
about 500 in the Peace River region,
southwest Of Great Slave lake. The
Canadian government Is carrying on
experiments in crossing bison with
domestic cattle.-Scientifc American

PRAYER ALONG BATTLE LINE
Practice Among Soldiers Said 70 d
General, and Much Good 70
the Result.

British church authorities find time
to discuss some of the psychic phe.
nomena of battle. and just now are
considering what they admit is one Of
the most marked, that of the gen.
eral practice of prayer among the
soldiers. This Is not taken to indi-
cate a sudden spread Of religion
among the men, but rather as re-
prudence Of the primitive impulse
to appeal to the supernatural for aid.
In commenting on this point during
the first year of the war. The Bee
called attention to the fact that men
in the presence Of death are more
likely to feel their dependence on God
and to have recourse to him for
needed help. Daily contact with dan
gers of warfare sobers the judgment
and inclines the thought to things
ordinarily neglected in time Of &C.
curity.
Experience has developed that
prayer in the presence Of imminent
danger does have a most remarkable
psychological effect. Men in com.
plete funk pray after their own fash
ion, and Immediately seem to gain sus-
tenance, their minds becoming clear.
their actions rational and their fright
disappearing entirely. Reasons for
this are apparent, but are likely to be
variously construed. The fact 10 note
worthy as characteristic Of the work
ings Of the human mind, rather than
significant Of deeper devoutedness.-

street address on the Bowery, got into
an alteration with a laborer. This
man staggered into me and nearly
knocked me over" said the temperance
man. "and when I demonstrated with
him he became abusive. I believe in
the interest Of the public. and any man
who Is subject to drink and has IN evil
temper should be clapped in JAIL where
he belongs. I admit that I have nd
sympathy for this man and desire that
he be heavily fined or sent to the work.

shows that he Ii q slave Of liquor"
Az the lecturer spoke he dropped q
pencil which he had in his hand. He
stopped to recover It. Another small
object fell. It was hypodermic needle.
A policeman standing nearby stopped
over and picked up the needle. The
upshot Of It was that the Temperance
