Eschew Gay Easter
Raiment In Chicago
and San Francisco

San Francisco, April 5-Easter Sun
day 1917 will be remarkable for the
fact that it's observance in San
Francisco churches did not consist Of
fashion show for the NAN attraction
and divine services as an excuse, If a
movement started in Chicago and taken
up in San Francisco is carried out.
A eorterie of girl members of a
Christian Endeavor Society in Chicago
started the idea when they decided to
keep their fancy Easter bonnets and
their new spring clothes in the dark
recesses of the family trunk on Easter
Day and to devote themselves 10 the
spiritual and not the decidedly material
form of worship. In San Francisco
the Rev. ]. H. Barney of the California
street church made the first step when
he requested that the choir of his
church, which is TO render elaborate
Easter music, come in simple raiment,
just to set a good example for the
congregation.

AN ARMY OF
INTERNAL BATHERS

Over half million bright, keen, up
to date Americans have found that in
ternal bathing is more essential to
their wellbeing than external baths.
Have found that taken occasionally
at night they feel like different people
the next morning. No more of that bill
ious, tired, nervous condition-but,
having by natures own cleanser, an
tiseptic warm water, removed all the
poisonous wastes from the lower in
testine, they awake thoroughly refresh

tions acting in healthy accord, bright,
happy clear headed and confident Gag
er and capable for the duties of the

STANDING ROOM ONLY
AT GRAND LAST NIGHT
Suggestion Made Play Be
Presented Again for Bene-
fit Of Red Cross

Standing room was sold last night at
the second production of acct Rich
Quick Wallingford, And the audience
laughed from start to finish Just as they
did the first night The play went
faster last night, and was somewhat
in the nature Of a whirlwind.
All the players were on the tips of
their toes and put the lines over with
a punch that won the laughs. As a
comedienne of the first class Mrs. A. J.
Rain is decided success. Her work
was appreciated to greater extent at
the second performance than the first.
The role of the head waitress, Bessie
Meeres, is a difficult one but she car
ried off the honors in thoroughly
pleasing manner.
Mrs. w. Carlton Smith was more at
home in the character of the stenog-
rapher last night. As Tuesday night was
the first time she took up the duties of
stenographer in public, she was natur-
ally somewhat nervous but, having be-
come acquainted with her work, she
made it go better.
Mrs. r. M. Hofer as the wife of the
proprietor of the Palace hotel, played
up to her previous night s performance
And so did also Miss Verna Coder, as
Gertie Dempsey; and Miss Helene Scho-
ber, as Dorothy Welles, was especially
attractive in her black lacy evening
gown with the red tulips as a bit Of con,
trasting color.
At the end of the first act the Elks
sent bouquets of flowers over the foot
lights to the ladies in the play.
The six men who made up the Cover
ed Carpet Tack company were a scream
IN themselves, and especially so when
they take their departure for home aft
er the big party at the Wallingford
home in Battlesburg.
Charles V. Galloway repeated his sue.

Beware the Scarabee
And Shun His Pal, the
Sweet Potato WeeViI

The newest way to scare naugh.
ty children has been given to a
grateful public by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Next time
Willie gets into the jam just
walk up to him and say:
Now, the scarabee is going to
get you"
The scarabee IS partial to
sweets. He has a sweet tooth a
yard long and an Unsuitable appe-
tite. He was discovered in the
land OF hula hula, where he
wrought havoc among sweet po-
tato crops.
Along with the scarabee is the
weevil-not an ordinary weevil-
but a weevil who has made a life
long study OF "kultur." He and
the scarbee work together just
like Germans and Turks. The pair
was discovered in Porto Rico and
Hawaii, the greatest centers OF
sweet potato culture in the world.
For that reason the Department
of Agriculture has placed a ban
on the Importation of sweet po-
tatoes to go into effect tomorrow.
