LYRIC

THE Lion and the Mouse" the peer
of all modern societyt dramas, will be
the attraction at the new Lyric thea
tire next week beginning with the mat
inee on Monday afternoon. In lines
and delineation of characters the
piece has never been approached and
in compelling interest of the most
gripping description it easily stands
in a class by itself. This is not the
first time that the Poll Players have
participated in a presentation of this
famous drama and with but little
study they will be able to put on a
series of performances second to none
ever attempted by stock company.
1.-The Lion and the Mouse is one of
those types Of plays that bears a sec
ond view and not only is it therefore
of special appeal to those who have
had the good fortune to have seen it
but is bound to prove most magnetic
for those who have often heard of the
play but have never been in a posi-
ton to see it. The production is being
repeated following an insistent de-
mand by Lyric patrons who are de-
sirous of once more seeing this IA
NOUS play 10Y what Is edsIly KNOWN as
the best stock company in New Eng
land. AS usual popular prices will
prevail and judging from the large
advance sale of tickets crowded
houses will view each performance.
This afternoon and tonight will see
the final performances of the musical
comedy, Every Good Eddie" which
has enjoyed a successful week at this
theatre. Those who have not seen it
will do well to procure their seats at
once as the demand is likely to exceed
the supply before the box office opens
. for the final performance.
Douglas Fairbanks will be the at
traction at the photoplay concert to-
morrow night in his latest success,
1.-The Man From Painted Post" There
will also be a Mack Sennett comedy,
the Mutt and Jeff cartoons and the
popular Hearst-Pathe Weekly News
pictorial showing the boys at the front
and other news items of interest.

ARMY DEATH RATE FOR
 DISEASE ONLY 2,l8 G.. %.
 PER 1000 ANNUALLY

The War Department authorizes the following statement from the office of the Surgeon General:
 American troops both here and over- seas continue to establish good health records. For the two months period ending August 31 the combined re- ports of the American Expeditionary Forces and all troops stationed in the United States show an annual death rate for disease of 2.1S per 1,OOO-a fraction more than men per 1000 per year. The annual death rate for disease of men of military age in civil life is 6.77 per 1000.
 The combined reports show that gen. erally the health of the soldiers over seas is better than that shown by the men in the training camps in this country. This is largely due to the fact that only men in the best physical condition are being sent to France, with the result that the reports of the

AUTOMATIC HOUSEHOLD
 D|SHWASH|NC MACHINE

An entirely automatic dishwashing and drying machine is shown in the October Popular Mechanics Magazine
 It is quite unusual in that it per forms it's complete operation without requiring any supervision. Inside of a cylindrical tank racks are provided which enable dishes to be stacked radially from the center. After this is done a gas burneh beneath the ma chine is ignited, and the top of the tank closed. Hot water is then fore ed under pressure through a whirling head and sprayed on the dishes. At the expiration of a definite interval, the water is automatically shut off and blower started. Air, heated by the gas flame is forced over the dishes quickly drying them. Simultaneous ly drain in the bottom of the tank is opened and the used water dis charged. Thus, after the dishes have once been stacked in the machine and the gas lighted, the housewife's at tentiom is not required until it is time to remove the cleaned and dried dishes and put them away.

HOUSEWIVES OF AMERICA HAVE HELPED GREATLY
 IN FEEDING OUR ALLIES

This statement in regard to the Food Administration was made recent. ly by Representative Henry D. Flood of Virginia:
 The war would have been lost if the Allies had not been fed; and it was through the efforts of the United States Food Administration that they were sustained during the trying days when our nation was preparing itself to put an immense army in the field with them m the fight for de- mocracy. am not eXaggerating when l say that no agency of the gov- ernment has done more to assure vic- tory for our cause than the Food Ad- ministration.
 One of the most wonderful things ever accomplished in this country was the campaign of universal voluntary food saving conducted by the whole American people at the instance of Herbert Hoover. As a result of it vast quantities of meat, grain and sugar have been sent overseas while we at home have not suffered any real deprivation. By it the idea of individual self-sacrifice to help win the war has been carried into every, nook and corner of the nation. The Ameri- can housewife, whose savings in the home seemed insignificant when view ed alone, has come to realize what a mighty force the combined efforts of 22,O0O housewives developed into after the food message had been brought home to them.
 When the pinch of hunger was &C., ute in Europe last winter, England at the time only had three weeks supply of food on hand. Submarinesweremak- ing havoc among the food ships and rail congestion in this country had halted supplies for the Allies that could mt be carried to tidewater. The Allies needed 75,O0O,OOO bushels more of wheat to carry them over. Am erica's exportable surplus, 20,0O0,0OO bushels already had been sent. The Allies were desperate; they believed their cause to be lost.
 Then the Food Administration issu- ed its call to save wheat; hundreds of thousands of families went on wheat less basis altogether; housewives used substitutes cheerfully and faithfully. As a result our total wheat exports to Europe were 141,000,000 bushels. We sent it because we saved it.
 Knowing how we'll it has served them in the past ,the people of the nation are confident that the Food Ad- ministration will continue so to man. age the country's food resources that the millions of fighting men we are sending to Europe will be fed and the Allies will be sustained until the final victory that will crown our combined efforts.
