PROOF LADY
 KEENEY'S FEATURE

The vaudeville being shown at Keeney's this week is one of the most entertaining bills shown for some time. Topping the bill is vaudevilles newest novelty, The Bullet-P Proof Lady,' presented by Capt. Leffel, one of the foremost sharpshooters of the present time. He performs several difficult shots, breaking objects from a young lady's mouth and head. In finishing, he introduces one of tho most baffling tricks ever shown to an audience He places the young lady on d small pedestal, pins a pack of cards to her waist and places an or dinary piece of window glass directly in back of her. He then calls for a committee to come upon the stage and examine his rifle and also place tho bullet in the chamber and examine the cards and glass. Then he gives the audience a thrill by aiming at tho ladys body. He fires; the cards are pierced and the glass in back of her is smashed to small bits. How the trick is accomplished is left to the imagination of the audience and fur nishes food for thought for the skep- tical ones. The other acts consist of Fertig and Dunn, a classy man and woman singing act displaying gor- geous costumes. One of the popular acts on the bill is the Singing Miner. He introduces his act with a moving picture showing himself at work in a coal mine in Nova Scotia, afterward coming to the footlights in a special setting representing a coal mine. His splendid voice wins the approval of all. The Three Virginians offer a splendid musical act in Colonial cos tune.
 Two feature pictures are offered to- day and tomorrow. Dorothy Phillips, the Broadway star, is seen in "Broad- way Love-" a five-part drama of life along the gay White Way" The other feature is the five-part Butterfly production with Harry Carey and

 I made my voice as matter of fact as possible as I answered her.

A letter friend of mine, young girl asks me for some advice in re- gard to an experience she is about to pass through.
 She has been invited to make her home for the next few months in a place where she will meet many new people.
 Most of them," she says, with fine frankness, will be people of more education and better breeding than l. I do not mean to cast any reflections on my own family. I have the best father and mother in the world, but they are very plain people, and these people are cosmopolitan folks who have lived in an atm mosphere of, edu- cation and quiet wealth all their lives. Now what I want is some general ad- vice on how to conduct myself so that IshaIl not be out of place.
 I think there are a great many peo- pie who are sometimes placed in position such as this girl describes, and for their sake I am going to mako what answer I can through my col umn.

GRANDMA NEVER LET

Kept her locks youthful, dark and glossy with common garden
 Sage and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture though, at homo is mussy and trouble some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use prep aration, improved by the addition of other ingredients called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time By morning all gray hair disappears and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark ened, glossy and luXuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis. grace. is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready to-use preparation is delightful to1- let requisite and not medicine. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga- tion or prevention of disease.

|, some good reason for doing so and quite another to disregard it because you simply do not know it exists.
 Listen to your voice and try to mod ulate it. Place it low, shun nasal tones as the plague, and don't speak too loud.
 Three RuIes-Listen, Listen, Listen.
 Don't talk too much. Listen, listen, listen. That is the way to learn, the way to keep from making blundera to please others.
 Talk very, very little about yourself that is, of your own accord. Don't cessively reticent when people are really displaying a kindly interest.
 Have a dictionary and look up any word of whose pronunciation you are not absolutely certain.
 Read to Know.
 Read much. Read a first-class newspaper a good weekly or monthly review, and some of the best books. But read to know, and not to show off.
 Be especially courteous to old folks. Be courteous, also, to those who serve you in any capacity. It is only imi- tation breeding which is discourteous to servants, strangers or interiors.
 Be absolutely punctilious about all matters of bathing and grooming.
 And last but not least, appreciate ard initiate all the good qualities that you see in these new people, but do not fail to respect yourself.

For many years prior TO 1913 the
oyster and fish Industries OF this state
were depleted almost to the point Of
obstruction. In 1913 ii was recognized
that the fish and oyster Industries
would soon become extinct without
and positive protection. The
state legislature OF that year also real
lied the true condition and promptly
enacted adequate legislation affordin.s
the necessary protection to the oyster
In 1915 the state legisla
ture enacted protective laws relating
TO the fish industry.
The effect Of these laws has been
to rehabiiitate an industry practically
destroyed This work on the part of
the state has cost many thousands r
dollars, and has been the means If
livelihood to thousands of f1rhermen
and others who would have had To

the explosion occurred At any rate,
upon the explosion occurring, her
husband ran to his wife's assistance
and he suffered painful burns. his
hands at the time of his visit to the
hospital having been swathed in
