PLAZA

The Plaza was packed when we got there last night-packed to the roof and there was a big crowd waiting in line for the second show. We had expected that either Clara Kimball Young or PelI Trenton would have drawn big crowds, but not as such an early hour. But then critics can make miscalculations as well as any other mortal. To get to the subject, '"Fhe House of Glass in which Miss Young is co-starring with Pell Tren- ton, the former local stock favorite, is a Limitation of the remarkable melodrama that ran a year on Broad way and which is even now enjoying long and successful runs on the speak ing stage in thel arger cities of the land. It's a dandy story and with such capable Heads" there is little wonder that it should have created such a furore yesterday.
 Bert and Lottie Walton, who billed themselves as "The Cretonne Duo" put over an unusual dancing diversion that scored for them, and Lewis and Hurst came next with some Italian character comedy that put them in Glass IA.
 June Time' is the title of the skit that Williams and Mitchell offered with unbounded success and although we thoroughly enjoyed the novelness of the sl1it and the comedy quips that were put over, we fell that a woman with such a voice as Miss Williams possesses should not be quite so stingy with it.
 The Sig Franz Troupe head1ined the bill and closed the vaudeville with their cycling offering which has made them famous the world over. They rode everything they could get wheel on and some of the freak" contrap- tons were unusually funny.

London, March 22-tWhy is the working man in America so we'll un- der control?" asked Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, actor, at a meet ing here to support the work of the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion. Because there the working man is under the thumb of his wife"

EMPIRE

Today and tomorrow at the Empire theatre, Manager Keeney has booked one of Paramount's new films, "One More American" starring clever George Beban, the Italian imperson- htor. An excellent cast, including Helen Eddy, Camille Ankewich, Ray mond Hatton, Jack Holt, H. B. Car penter and Ernest Joy, supports MT. Beban in this picture, which was written and directed by William c. DeMille. The scenario was prepar- ed by Olga Printzlau. The story in brief is as follows: Luigi Riccardo. Ehe proprietor of a little Marionette theatre in the heart of Little Italy, New York, expects his little wife and child to arrive from Italy. His preparations and great joy in their coming, his disappointment, and his discovery that he owes all this un- happiness to Boss Began; all this and 50 much more that it is impossible to tell it all here, is shown in the pie lure, which like all MT. Beban's work Is most charming and humanly ap- pealing.

Washington, March 22-Secret fig ures of the British admiralty losses and world shipbuilding were made public here today by the. British em- bassy.

OF COURSE. SUCH A MAN
IS A BUSINESS MAN

Suppose a farmer has neat Office
in one room of his home where he has
a desk in which he keeps his business
books and papers.
Suppose he has a book or ledger in
which he keeps a careful account
with his stock and crops, and tables
to show what he owes, what is coming
to him, and what he spends and makes
each year.
Suppose he uses his newspapers and
telephone to find out market prices Of
farm products and has something to
sell almost every week.
Suppose he goes TO his Office on
Saturday afternoon, finds in his note
book what he needs from the store,
and goes to town, buys some things,
puts some money In the bank at

the Farmers Club, sees the County

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
4 SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a days work.

Calomel salivatcs! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea,
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just 90 to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
II you take calomcl today you'll be
sick and nauscated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It's harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it.

will it burn me?" asked the child
when called upon to move a fireless
cooker. The very idea Of a cooker
implied heat to the child's mind.
1t takes heat to cook in the firelesS
cooker, but the principle Of cooking Is
little different from that of cooking
on top of the stove. Many years ago
people heated stones and dropped
them into bag or kettle containing
food, the hot stones cooking the food.
Sometimes an iron pot, with a cover
was placed in hole dug in the
ground and covered with grass and
leaves This kept the heat in the food
and cooked it.
Food that is cooked in a fireless
cooker is heated to boiling point and
sometimes cooked for a few minutes,
but at all events it is thoroly heated,
then placed in the cooker which is so
constructed as to keep all of this heat
confined in the utensil containing the
food. The heat retained in the cook
er for long time tboroly cooks the
food
Material needed for making cook
err box, bucket or can; one piece Of
zinc of tin; asbestos paper; material
for filing; metal can with cover;
stone for heating; cooking utensils;
button hook; flour and water; paste;
hinges and fasteners.
An old trunk, a dry goods box, a
candy bucket or lard can, may be
used to make a fireless cooker. A
wooden box for homemade cooker
is preferable to metal one, because 1t
keeps the heat in better than metal
does, and if painted nicely will be
kept clean easily The size of the box
will depend upon how much cooking is
to be done in the cooker, but for a
family of six, box 80 inches long, Is
inches wide and IA inches deep will be
ample, and, if this cannot be had, a
candy bucket will be a great help, or
two can be made if necessary. The
square box Is preferable, however, as
the cover is more easily made. The
above measurements are inside ones.
In selecting the material for the
cooker, first have in mind the size of
the cooking utensils to be used. Then
find tin bucket with a lid, in which
an iron stove lid or soapstone radi.
ator can be placed and one which, at
the same time will hold the cooking
utensils to be used. Much time and
trouble will be saved if these things
are thought Of first. Having selected
these articles, the outside box should
be large enough to allow the covered
bucket to set inside, after there has
been at least three inches Of filing
on the bottom, around the sides and
on top Of the tin bucket. This metal
bDaEet may be Of aluminium if one
cares ta sLer the money FIR il. IN
