BLUE PARADISE"
LACKED VOICES
An Otherwise Good Production
Spoiled by Lack of Singers
Notably in Cast

THE Blue Paradise" an operetta in
prologue and two acts by Edgar
smith. was the bill at the Orpheum
Saturday, matinee and evening. The
play had a pretty little plot. more in
tense than the average plot which COM
prlses the makeup of a musical COM
eedy, and withal a welcome relief from
the impossible, hurriedly concluded
plot with which most shows of the
type are drawn in whirlwind fashion
TO a close. And THE Blue Paradise"
had music, strains of rare beauty and
order, which, unfortunately, in many
instances, were almost lost through
the 1nadequacy of singers with good
voices. Noticeably was the lack OF
voice felt in the cast of principals. for
in spots the chorus showed that il
could rise to the occasion and really do
good work. But. with few instances
the music received but poor considera-
tion from the company. The comedy.
while not of a truly unusual nature
was clever and well done, although at
times 1t was most suggestive and of
low order. Staging and costuming
were nightly well carried out, two fea-
lures which had not little TO do with
the entertainment the show provided.

THE GENTLE ART OF NAGGING

Have you ever lain awake in the
middle of the night and listened to a
dog bowling hideously, with wailing
reiteration of two long-drawn notes?
Have you ever sought the quiet of
your own apartment only to have
your rest or attempt at concentration
broken up by the incessant thud of
one and the same tune on a neigh
boris piano?
Either experience probably drove
you almost crazy.
And yet you, whoever you are, are
capable of whining out the same old
tune over and over again in the pro-
cess of begging for something you
want or protesting against something
you don't want! The nagger is as
pleasant to listen to as the whining
of an = string when an amateur prac-
tices on the violin.
The other day | was riding down
in a car and my next door neighbor
was girl who wanted new suit
which her mother didn't seem to
think she could afford. The girl was
whining out her complaints against
people who were stingy, and didn't
understand anything about a girls
feelingsl OF course, | might have
changed my seat, but the mother had
no way of changing her daughter!
She kept up a weary, creaking, sing
song drone, and when the car wheels
squeaked, she began complaining
about the noise. Most of her neigh
bors found the situation funny. What
she had been doing was exactly as
nerve-racking a performance as the
screech of the rail
And all nagging is like that. It
gets on the nerves of the listener and
unless it is directed to a weakling,
who will do anything to lave peace,
1t accomplishes nothing beyond max
ing the nagger hideously discordant
note in life.
Next time you are tempted to harp
on a subject or nag away in your de-
sire to get what you want, just re-
member the creak of the rail, the
caterwauling of tabby on the back
fence, the nerve-racking force of the
steam drill when building is going
on next door and don't add your un-
pleasant and popularity-destroy
bit to the discord of life.

81 regard my recovery as nothing
short of a miracle" exclaims Henry
G.. Schuessler. an expert toolmaker,
of SO North Seventeenth street, Har-
risburg, Pa.
'I had been troubled for long time
with constipation and rheumatic gout
and I couldn't seem to get the slight
est relief
"My feet would swell so that 1
couldn't put on my shoes. I had almost
constant headache and my stomach
was in such a weakened state that
anything I ate caused great volumes
of gas to form that would press against
my heart, bringing on severe nervous
spells.
''I tried doctors, osteopaths. chiro-
practices and lot of proprietary reme-
Hies, but I did not get any better, and
the attacks had become so severe that
I was often laid up for two weeks at a
time.
%This had been going on for over a
year and a half and / finally deter
mined to try Tanlac. Now 1 date my
recovery from that day, for am now
free from all my ailments.
MY bowels are regular, my head :
aches are gone. my stomach has been
so strengthened that it digests my food
without trouble. But what delights
me most is that my feet no longer
bother me. The pain and swelling
have gone and 1 am able to be up and
about my work. Tanlac certainly has
done wonders for me and will never
forget It,"
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic. is now being introduced here by
Gorgas' Drug Store. where the Tanlac
man is meeting the people and ex-
planning the merits OF this master
medicine

Washington, d. c., March 90. = Prac-
tically all truck crops do better on a
sandy loan soil than on one that is
sticky and heavy. Larger-sized crops,
however. such as cabbage, tomatoes,
beans, and peas, will do well on heavy
soil provided it contains the necessary
vegetable matter.
The soil in most backyard gardens
is distinctly heavy. 1t will help the
soil greatly if the owner works into it
good amount of finely sifted coal
ashes free from all cinders. Coal ashes
are used largely for the physical eff
feet in breaking up a compact, heavy
soil. Such ashes do not take the place
of fertilizer
Plentiful use, Of well-rotted manure
is still more beneficial in breaking up
heavy soil because this improves the
texture and ADDS fertilizing material.
Many garden soils are sour. To offse t
acidity and also to improve the physical
properties of the soil the garden spec
ialists- recommend the use of lime.
Burnt lime should be applied at the
rate of 1000 pounds to the acre or slak-
ed lime at the rate of about 1900
pounds per acre. \ garden plot so by
100 feet is approximately one-ninth of
an acre.
To apply the lime, broadcast it and
mix it freely with the surface soil by
narrowing or raking. Lime should be
applied before the crops are set out or
planted and should not be applied at
the same time that fertilizer or manure
is put on.
Manure will greatly improve land.

timely HINTS FOR The HOME GARDENER
Soil Tips to the Home Gardener

If well-rotted manure is not available,
it may be advisable to use complete
chemical fertilizer. Apply at the rate
of 500 to 1000 pounds per acre a mix
ture containing to per cent. nitro
gen. per cent. phosphoric acid. l to
per cent. potash. The amateur gar
dener will find it easier to use ready
mixed fertilizer, which can be obtain
ed from any reliable dealer.
Sunlight Necessary For u Garden
No amount of fertilizer, watering,
and cultivation will make up for the
absence of sunlight in q garden Home
gardeners before attempting for the
first time to use a backyard other space
should consider carefully how many
hours day any part of the yard is in
shadow from buildings, fences, or trees.
At leas five hours of sunlight a day is
necessary for a successful garden. The
more sunlight they get the better it is
for most vegetables. For this reason
it is bad practice to put plants of low
habit between tall-growing plants
which will shade them for the greater
part of the day. AS rule, foliage
crops such as lettuce, spinach and kale
do fairly we'll in partial shade, but even
these must have sunshine two or three
hours a day. In laying out the gar
den. therefore, use shadier parts for
such plants and reserve the sunny
spaces for those which must have
plenty of sunlight to grow and fruit
properly.

ATHLETES ACTIVE AT HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMY
ATHLETES ACTIVE
IN TRACK WORK
Not Likely That Penn Relay
Carnival Will Be Called Off;
Tech Probabilities

Until official word is received here,
that the big Pennsylvania Relay Race
Carnival. at Philadelphia. set for Fri
day and Saturday. April 81 and 2S,
will be called off track athletes at
Central, Tech and Steelton high
schools will continue training for this
event.
Much has been said or written about
whether the war situation will affect
the event. Pennsylvania authorities
have looked over the situation very
carefully and they are nearly q unit
in thinking that there will be no real
reason for not holding the carnival as
planned.
Technical and Central High schools
have sent relay teams to the Penn
carnival for many years and have al
ways made a good showing. Both
teams this season and expect to win
the events in which they are entered.
Coaches Working Squads Hard
Coaches Hill and Peet, of the Tech
nical High school, have had a large
squad working daily since the begin
ming of February and during the last
week outside work has been started.
The team is composed entirely of vet
Grams this year and is fast developing.
Captain Sutch, Eyster, Demming.
Gippey are the men who will no doubt
represent Tech in the relay race and
Hahnlen will be the fifth man.
Coach Kunkle has been working his
Central High school candidates hard
for some time and expects to have a
championship team this season. The
squad has been doing gym work for
several months and since the weather
opened up has been out on the road
daily.
Twcnty-Third Carnival
This will be the twenty-third relay
race carnival held by the University
of Pennsylvania and this year it will
bring together the finest and most rep
resentatiYe host of college athletes
ever to assemble on any field. All the
larger colleges and universities in the
United States will be repsented as will
many of the smaller ones and this
seasons games promise to eclipse any
of the previous brilliant meets that
have made this event famous the
world over.
The greatest interest will center as
usual about the great relay champion
ships, in which college and high school
teams Will battle over the cinder path
for supremacy. This year there will
be real battle for suprefacy between
the east and west for this event.
Stars in Special Events
The special events will bring togeth-
er the highest class lot of athletes that
have been in competition since the last
Olympic games in Stockholm. in 1912.
Simpson, of Missouri, worlds record
holder of the high hurdles, will meet
the best in the country in this event.
Richards, of Cornell, the Olympic
high jump champion, will find worthy
foes in Treweeke, Kansas. #. in;
Fisher, Chicago, TT. . in; Webster,
Illinois, 6 IT. 2 in; Simons, Michigan,
IT. in; Hobbs, Dartmouth, IT. l
. in, and Thibault, Pennsylvania, #.
1 in.
The Pentathlon star will be Berry,
Pennsylvania star football player
and all around athlete, winner of this
event in 1915 and 1916. Thomas,
Dartmouth; Fisher, Chicago; Burke,
Wisconsin. and other all around ath-
letes will force Berry to his limit this
year.
