dlence Thursday evening at the Augusta

reading of the will. And many comical
situations develop in a conspiracy to get
the Westerner to fall in love and propose
to Fluffy Rifles, the Belle of Broadway
One of the features of the performance
was Chorus Girls Contest in which
each of the young ladies of the chorus
did her stunt for the approval of the au-
dience. Vocal solos and dances were
among the popular numbers. but in the
line Of something different Miss Katherr
Cakes rendered a whistling solo which
won applause from all.
Among the best of the musical selec.
lions rendered during the evening were
"Caroline,' sung by Dagmar Lennett
Love Me-" by AL Warner and Jessie
Howard: and Sunshine of Virginia" by
Dagrnar Lennett.
The staging Of the play was excellent
the first scene representing Olden Gays

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY Y. n. PIERCE, n. d.

: The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for q hun
dred years.
In recent years investigation by means
Of X-rays, the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow-
ler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is necessary
in good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suffer
with lumbago or rheumatism at times,
pain in the back or back of the neck, take
little Anuric before meals. This can
be found at any good drug store. There
fore my advice to young or old is, always
drink plenty Of pure water. And for long
life, occasionally take tablets of Anuric
three or four times day.
It is simply wonderful how quickly
Anuric acts-much more potent than
lithia. You will find it dissolves uric
acid as water does sugar.

GRAND TONIGHT

No story of the West has had
greater success in it's dramatized
form than 1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah' y
which is showing at the Grand thea
ter tonight. Three Western mining
men, joint owners of a great mining
property, conceive the curious idea
that there must be an heir to the
mine which is called 1.-The Hoorah. -
They are all bachelors and the idea
of marriage appeals to none of them.
Lots are cast and the youngest one
is chosen to marry. 1t is an inter-
esting story with Thos. Meighan and
Anita King in the leading roles.
Van and Hazen, the latter being
better known as dot" Hazen of this
city, who have toured the states from
coast to coast, booked by the West
ern Vaudeville company, will be an

ducing the latest songs and instru-
mental music.
