MILK IN WINTER

Why do your cows give less milk in winter than they do in summer? Just because nature does not supply them with grasses and green food. But we have come tothe assistance of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas Stock rem edy which contains the very ingred- ients that the green reed supplies in season, only, of course, in more highly concentrated form. We guar. antee that this remedy will make your cows give more milk, and better milk with the same feed. Sold by Percy Chamberlain.

Cliff and Cave pwelIars.

The cliff dwellers knew nothing of the use of metals. Their knives were made from the bones Of the deer, high- ly polished and very sharp. Their household utensils consisted of pottery jars and casks made of fiber and GOV cred with a substance resembling mod ern varnish. Although the earliest cliff dwellers were prehistoric, cave livers have existed in almost every age of the world The ancient Horites derived their name from their prac- tice of living in caverns and subter- ranean abodes.

B. F. Keith's.

At Keith's this week every number
is good and was fully appreciated by
the large audience that turned out
last night for the initial perform
ance. Blanche Ring. fresh from a tri-
umphal tour of the cantonmentsl in
the top-line position, sang her sue
cesses of the olden days in musical
comedy, but wound up with the re-
mark. that, the people wanted war
songs, and then gave a variety that
plause. Her final number called for
help from the audience and made the
house ring. A clever dancing act by
Olga and Mishka. both masters of the
art opened the program. the elabo-
rate and beautiful scenery adding to
the attractiveness Of the number. The
Wilton Sisters followed with a sing
ing and dancing, turn, strengthened
materially by their violin and piano
playing. 1t was their first appearance
in Washington, but they quickly made
themselves favorites. Other numbers
have appeared here before, but each
in turn made it's individual hit, in

SOLDIERS TO REHEARSE
FOR MUSICAL FROLIC''
One Hundred Men Of Camp Meigs
to Present "Atta Boy" at
Polls Theater.

One hundred soldiers at Camp
| Meigs, 5th street and Florida avenue
northeast, will lay aside their. rifles
during the next four weeks to re-
hearse. for a big musical frolic Alta
Boy" which they are to present at
Polls Theater the week of October %
to raise funds with which to erect a.
gymnasium and hostess house at the
camp.
The soldiers are out for $4,000, and
probably will give the show in other
nearby cities as we'll as Washington.
Dan Dody, New York producer, is
arranging to stage the performance,
and special music is being prepared
by Ballard Macdonald and Nat Os-
! borne Tho show is being arranged
with the cooperation of Col. D. HI.
Gienty, commanding officer of the
camp.
Maj. H. H. .Skerrett, adjutant. and
Private William Snyder have just re-
turned from New York, where they
made arrangements for scenery and
costumes. There will be no members
of the fair sex in the cast but sew
eral soldiers will give substitute i'm
presentations.
The show will be one big laugh,
with, t.lenty of military color, but no
plot to be unraveled. Camp Meigs
has a, number of prfvates who have
had stage experience. Camp Meigs Is
now an overseas camp. and there is
urgent need for a hostess house for
the comfort of the scores of relatives
who pay last-minute visits to the SOL
diers.

Cosmos.

Good all around entertainment is fur
nished by the Cosmos Theater bill this
week, rather than the presentation Of a
spectacular headliner and what are
known as 'f1llers." The musical acts
are especially attractive, notably that
of Albert Cardo and Rae Noel, former
members of the Bostonians and the
Aborn Opera Company. Each has a
beautiful operate voice and their songs
are especially appealing. One of the
prettiest acts In vaudeville is provided
by Hattie Kitchener an attractive vio-
linist, with her Golden Bird a re-
markably trained canary. jerks and
Allen win roars of laughter with their
rube characterizations and songs, and
Marva REIN, with BERTHE Fitch at the
piano, sings equally well the swaying
ragtime or the highly patriotic to big
applause. The bill opens with Bartello.
= highly developed specimen Of muscu-
larity and heavy weight litter, and his
brother, a laughing comedian. Harry
Lang has a good monologue and better
songs. while Raymond Wiley and COM

With very comely girls in the 'front.'
line trenches and led by the irresisti-
bic Eleanor Painter OF, Lilac Domino"
and Princess Pat" conquests, "Glori-
ana" q new musical war play. went
'over the top" at the National Thea
ter last night. with fusillade Of song,
comedy and dance that made a large
audience captive before the offensive
was well under way.
The play romps through three
rounds. 1t is bright, tuneful and full
Of action and has also real comedy
and real music. Miss Painters fame
will not be dimmed by her efforts in
this latest vehicle. nor will John
Cort's ability to select choruses of
good-lookinE young women be shown
to have diminished. Catherine. CHS
holm Gushing has SUPPLIED in the
catchy lines, while the music, COM
posed by Rudolph Friml, is Of the
infectious sort.
"Gloriana" is not Of the usual mu-
steal comedy brand. Its verse and
music are Of finer fiber. This also is
true of the dancing, which repeatedly
was encored.
The first act depicts Gloriana's
studio apartment in New York, where
a struggling young music teacher is
forced to spend most of her time
lodging creditors. The apartment is
shared by Dolores Pennington, whose
husband is reported to have been
killed in France. Dolores refuses to
accept money from the estate be-
cause Of the treatment accorded her
by her husbands family. Gloriana de-
cides to impersonate Dolores in or
der to relieve their financial plight.
This ruse leads them into innumer-
able difficulties. which terminate
happily when Lieut.. Pennington sud
denly appears, having escaped from
a German prison. Gloriana also gets
a husband in the bargain.
Dorothy South. as Dolores, is well
cast for the part, and has voice of
exquisite quality. Alexander Clark, as
Alexander Galloway, a lawyer, shares
with Miss Painter the burden Of the
comedy situations.

congenial role of Therese, Ltd. a
