Another war Play


The Charleston Mail thinks "The
Other Mans wife" Is much better
play than .The Confession OF a War
Bride" as the former comes TO the
Grand December 13 what The Mail
says Is interesting:
THE other Mans WIFE" a social

especially good in her part and she
has many good lines in the play.

Ioholsk. n Trade Center.

At one time Tobolsk was the capital
Of western Siberia, and an important
station for the detention of political
prisoners. 1t is fortunately situated,
near the junction of two important riv-
ers, one Of them the Tobol from which
t takes its name. Not far away lie
the ruins of an even older city, which
dominated the region before the Rus
slams conquered it. Tobolsk itself was
founded by the Cossacks and built
largely by the labor of political pris-
oners and prisoners of war. 1t has
single cathedral, inclosed within high
lowered wall, built in imitation of the
kremlin in Moscow by Swedish pris-
)ners Of war. The ambitious idea of
initiating the thousand churches of the
Kremlin in far off Siberia never got
.arther than this first cathedral. The
:est of Tobolsk Is typical little ST.
>erian city, with so-called palace and
vide grass grown streets bordered by
,ow wooden houses. There are few
shops and banks of more ambitious
structure, for Tobolsk is the center of
quite a trade.

MONEY TO WIN WAR
How Americans Can Defeat
Blood -Crazed Kaiser.
Small Contributions From All Who
Love Liberty and Appreciate lts
Blessings viii Save World
From Grave Danger.

Many are familiar with the fable
that appeared In the old school readers
about the king who offered fortune
and the hand Of his daughter to the
man who could tell him story that
would last forever In the telling, with
the stipulation, however, that, In case
the story came to an end, the person
who failed to complete It was to lose
his head by the sword.
A number Of adventurous spirits lost
their heads In the attempt to keep
serial going forever to amuse the &C.
centric monarch, but one young man
finally won the fortune and the daugh-
ter by wearing out the very soul of the
king With the story about the locusts
carrying off the corn. "And then an
other locust came and carried off an
other grain of corn" etc., ETC., until
the king decided he had had enough Of
the story.
America-in fact, the whole world,
Is dealing with an eccentric" monarch
today. This monarch wants the impOs.
sible, and everyone who refuses to give
II to him must lose his head. There
is one way to deliver the peoples Of the
world from this menace.
Kaiser Wilhelm can be worn out, II
he cannot be crushed by one tremen-
dous blow. And the government at
Washington has pointed out the way.
Money will defeat the kaiser. Small
savings. like the locusts, coming along
from 100000 American citizens,
will wear out the soul of the war-mad
monarch. American money can wear
out any army in the world. because
there Is great deal of American
money and there are many Americans
who have 1t. Just mere matter Of a
quarter n day from every wage Garner
In the United States would mean bill
lions of dollars every year to buy guns
and food for soldiers and ships to
carry them across the Atlantic to de-
feat the sinister purposes of the kaiser
and his crew.
A quarter, like the grain of corn, Is
not much in itself, but millions Of quar-
ters every day mean victory for right.

Sloane Williams, son Of Thomas A.

the son Of Capt. E. B. Chenoweth,

Young Chenoweth replied: $50 are

Sloane took the matter In hand and
announced: well, bet we are going

Chenoweth Immediately objected,
and the argument waged furious. Fin
ally young Chenoweth asked young
Williams: "Well, where are you going,

Williams was unable to answer, and

Soap for Wounds.

Common yellow soap, the kind used
by housewives in washing clothes and
dishes, has been found to be wonder
full cure for wounds In French hos
pitfalls and Its use has spread to the
British medical stations. A solution
is made from cake and injected into
soldiers wounds, even In the latest In
stances into the deepest bullet holes,
where 1t has proved itself to be a SUI

ide and most other germ killers, and

Wounds treated with soap need few
er dressings and lessen pain far
more than do wounds treated with
other antiseptics. These facts greatly
expedite the work Of the surgeons,
who can handle more men than when
using other solutions.
