DADDY LONG LEGS
Jean Webster's Great Work Spleen
didly Dramatized

oiuly 6idIiati<Cb
Taunton theatre-goers expected
much from the production of Daddy
Long-Legs" the attraction at the Park
theatre on Saturday afternoon and
evening, and the charming comedy
captivated the immense audiences
which enjoyed the production, leaving
no one, it is certain, with any feeling
OF disappointment, as the big Metro

book by Jean Webster and retaining
all of its charm upon the stage.
1t was thoroughly wholesome and
attractive comedy, devoid of unpleas-

dialogue, and amusing situations,
splendidly handled by an extremely

One of the outstanding and brilliant
features in the play, was the work
of Miss Francis Stirling Clarke. Par.
ticularly is she deserving of high
praise for her portrayal of the role of
Judy for she proved an altogether at

that it is no wonder many in the hun

Use her an early rise to star-dom OF
of the highest art, and long period
of time has past since a Taunton aud
fence has had the opportunity to en-
joy the work of a player with the abil-
ity possessed by Miss Clark, for she
depicts the role made famous by
Ruth Chatterdon in a manner truly to
the point and with wonderful concep-
ton. Miss Clark scored a heavy tri-
umph with her audiences Saturday
and her type of acting is the sort that
leads to fame in the theatrical world.
Edwin Brandt, as the generous trus-
tee, enacted a difficult role with abil-
ity and distinction, and gave fine sup.
port to the talented leading lady
The other members of the company
had fairly good scope into which
they might display their ability and
all succeeded in admirable fashion.

An Heirloom.

A prerevolutionary mansion IS to be
preserved in Albany as a historic
shrine, says the Brooklyn Standard
Union. This was the home of Gen.
Philip Schuyler. who was in command
of the continental troops in the victory
of Saratoga in 1777. The house had
been erected IS years before and stood
in the open country within what are
now the city limits. The estate, with
its ample grounds and negro slave
quarters, was known as 1.-THE Pasture.S
After their surrender at Saratoga Cen

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected IS because kidney trouble is so COM
mon TO the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR., Kilmer's SwampRoot Is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

In the midst of war England has

SOLDIERS LOT NOT so BAD

takes one incident, and another, and
another, makes chapters of them, with
the result that the man and woman
who read his book read a succession
of horrors, and they think it is all like
that. They don't realize, or they for
get, the weeks between these "hor-
rors" and discomforts.
A man is in the front trench under
fire, say, two days, and sent back four

eight. Usually a brigade is in the

are well fed, well equipped, well

OF course, the grouchy soldier is GO

life of the American soldier on the
western front is going to be just about
what he makes it. If he goes into it
