MARGUERITE CLARK'S
FIRST STAGE APPEARANCE

"My first aptitude for the stage
displayed itself during the three years
which I spent at the Ursuline convent
in Ohio" says Marguerite Clark in
the July Motion Picture Magazine.
"One afternoon | was sent with a
message to the sister who was re-
hearsing some of the older girls in a
play. 1t happened that the play was
one from the convent library with
which l was familiar and when I ar
rived, the leading lady was stumbling
very badly over her lines. Ordinarily,
/ was shy and would never have
deamt of speaking to any of the
older girls, so imagine their surprise,
as well as my own, when heard
myself suddenly piping up, not only
the forgotten lines, but the proper ac-
eompanying business as we'll. Wheth-
er the girl refused to play after that,
| don't remember, but the sisters re-
proving suggestion that perhaps they
would have to let little Marguerite
have the part vas carried out, and
played the leading role. That was
the beginning, and after that I was
usually given the leading parts fol-
lack of anyone else to do them, sup
poSe."

 "The after effects of influenza are to be dreaded-the weakness that continues for months. A good tonic should always be used, and we have found nothing better than some standard preparation of syrup of the hyphosphites of iron, lime. soda and potash, which can be had at any drug store.
 "In years past I induced many to try the camphor remedy for influen. ga, and those who tried it thoroughly always approved it. We cannot doubt that neglect of Pasteur's teaching has cost the world much in suffering and death

 "Use at night and in the morning, and oftener if desirable, and continue it until the influenza is completely broken up.
 "A smoker can pulverize a piece of camphor, the size of pea, and mix it with the tobacco in a cigar cite or pipe.
