presented by the Thearle-Duffield Co.,

This spectacle requires space $50
by $50 feet for presentation, and 500
people take part. 1t is planned to give
an idea of night warfare on the west
efn front. Airplanes and captive bal
looms rain missiles, while big and ma
Chine guns thunder and rattle, with
the American forces and their Allies
Scoring a nightly victory. This show
alone costs $500 a night.
Then there are $4,000 worth Of
vaudeville and circus acts. Of course,
this is the cost for the week, but they
would cost just as much if presented
for one night only, for they contract
only by the week.
That the reader may realize what
sort of show these acts alone make.
it may be mentioned that show in a
first class vaudeville house seldom
costs over $4,000 for the week.
Then there is the big Jackie" band
in concert from 7:15 until o'clock.
When it plays "The Star-Spangled
Banner" the huge Battleship Wiscon-
sin flag is unfurled and the night pro-
gram begins.
While bands are playing and vaude-
vile and circus acts going on, parade

FLUSH THE BLOOD
WITH PURE FRUIT
SALTS in SPRING

In winter most men and women
lead hothouse lives.
A tagging appetite. disposition to
pick at this dish and that, rather
than eat square meal, is among the
earld indications that the human
machine needs a thorough cleans
ing, Few people realize this is a
critical point in their health. They
do not know that unless the right
kind of medicine is taken NOW their
whole spring and summer may be
ruined by continued ill health.
The condition of your blood is the
thermometer of your health. Spring
is the time TO get rid of the accu-
mulated impurities that gather dur
ing the winter and load the blood
with poisons.
1t is the height of folly to dose
the stomach with dangerous drugs
when the blood is crying aloud for a
thorough cleansing. A spoonful of
pure fruit salts in a glass of hot
water, taken regularly on arising in
the morning for just a few days
will flush the blood clean of poisons,
open the bowels in a healthful, natu-
railway. and tone the entire system
until every organ is doing its work
and that tiredIout, half-sick feeling
becomes a thing of the past.
Just try this test to-day. Go to
Kennedy's Medicine Store or any 9TH
er we'll stocked drug store, ask for n
few ounces of Arcosal Fruit Salts,
start tomorrow morning taking ac-
cording to directions which accom-
pany each package and see how
quickly the system responds, how the
spirits chirll up, the good rich blood
goes pumping through the arteries
and you face the days work with re-
newed ambition and pleasure.
Be sure and ask for Arcosal Fruit
Salts put up in the original package.

endeavor of it's producers to make
each succeeding entertainment more
pretentious and more wonderful than
IT'S predecessors. And this worthy am
bition they are said to have fulfilled as
tar as human ingenuity and conscien-
tious effort can succeed. With an
entertainment bearing the mystic
title of "Show of Wonders" they have
even been spurred on to further eff
forts in order to live up to the prom
ise of its alluring name.
The "Show of Wonders is Verit-
able wondershow. 1t has been made
as marvellous an entertainment as the
wizards of Winter Garden. stagecraft
could devise. Cast, chorus, scenic
equipment and music are all the very
last word in excellence.
Scenically, this huge entertainment
is said to have reached the very pin
nacle of the art of the producer. In
its fourteen stage pictures the audi
ence is carried from the gilded re-
sorts of New York's famous Great
White Way" to the splendors of the
mystic temples of the Orient. And
crowning the monster achievements of
the scenic artist is the sensationally
thrilling setting depicting the interior
OF an undersea fighting craft, the
Submarine F-7" scene.

destroy the manhood and the wom-

Can't Afford to PuSsyfoOt
I'VE cannot as a people afford to
pussyfoot on this question. They
who take the. sword must perish by
the sword They who sidestep the
issue now will surely perish in the
storm of protest that is sweeping this
state. This sort of sentimentality that
we can best follow the President by
loving the German people and hating
their imperial masters, is buncombe.
| repeat what L said in a former
statement: no decent, self-respecting
person will want to hold communion
or fellowship with any Prussian now
or hereafter; and the children of this
generation will not be forced to study
u language that represents such low
ideals, if the red -blooded Americans,
of whom there are still some remain
ing, are successful in driving from
the schools of this state and nation a
language that represents the most
damnable propaganda that ever
cursed freedom.

written by Hon. P. p. Claxton, United
States Commissioner of Education,
regarding the retention of the teach
ing of German in our schools and
colleges, and he is quoted by you as
saying in the closing paragraph OF
that letter as follows: 4 have reason
to believe that the views and senti-
ments expressed in this letter are
fully in harmony with those of the
administration at Washington
II respectfully submit there is no
more loyal state in the Union than
Pennsylvania and none more eager
and willing to stand back of the
President. 1t seems to me, however,
that when the Governor of this Com
under whom you hold
your appointment, goes on record as
favoring the elimination of the
teaching of German in the public
schools of the state, every depart
ment chief should be in accord with
that sentiment and especially the
head of our school system.
Berks County Protests
II have in my possession vigor-
Gus protest from Berks county
against the position taken by you.
This Berks county American believes
with me that the State Superinten-
take a firm position and not hedge
about for an excuse when asked for
an expression of opinion as to his at
titude on the question of continuing
the teaching of the German language
in this state. In many of the rural
districts, notably in the eastern
counties, through which 1 have re-
Gently travelled, 1 find an alarming
German undercurrent, and in
several instances where the question
has been put up to the school board
the excuse offered by them is that
the state superintendent is not in
favor of the movement to discon-
tinue the teaching of German.
Right here, in our own state, do
not we know something of the Prus-
slams? We have heard of their devil
ishness, of their desire to become the
masters OF the world, of their poll
cies of brutality and of vandalism,
and their attempts to terrorize men
and women into submission. If we
stand supinely by and do not make
an effort to mould the minds of our
youth so that when they become men
and women they will manifest a
justifiable contempt and a righteous
hatred for that odious and infamous
propaganda formulated and spread
broadcast by the Kaiser, who woui6
