spectacle, "A Daughter OF the Gods" be-
gins a four days engagement at the

prevailing. Wherever this wonderful

always in evidence, and in many in

Of room. It would be the height Of
fool shness to compare the spectacle
with any other successes. The Fox

Thirty-three of the AZ babies ex-

to be of normal measurement and in
normal condition. The remaining nine

defects and any baby having the least
defect is referred to the family physi-
clan, or dentist, who are giving their
services for this object until June ID.
