Mrs Edwards, 81 began to have stom-
ach trouble, and until 1 commenced
taking Tanlac, my condition had grad
ually grown worse all the time. IN
fact I had reached the point where
1 was so weak an rundown that L

the gas that formed from sour, undt-

different medicines and treatments L
tried didn't do me any good at all.
my daughter had been taking Tan
lac. and it had done her so much good
that I decided to give it a trial my
self. and I can honestly state that by
the time I had finished my first bottle
I was feeling like a different person.
Well, I just kept on getting better
and now since taking three or four
bottles of Tanlac. I am enjoying the
best of health in every way. I never
had a better appetite, and what 1 eat
agrees with me perfectly, and 1 never
have a sign of indigestion or stomach
trouble of any kind. The nervousness
has left me, and I get plenty of good
sound sleep every night, and 1 have
gained so much in weight and strength
that I can do all my housework with
out the least trouble. Those awful
headaches are gone, too, and that
alone would make me praise Tanlac

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because it is fad. but
because they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful
They have found that in washing the
hair it is never wise to use a make
shift, but is always advisable to use a
preparation made for shampooing
only. Many of our friends say they
get the best results from a simple
some-made canthrox mixture. You
can use this at a cost of about cents
a shampoo by getting some canthrox
from your druggist and dissolving a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
This makes enough shampoo liquid to
apply to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head. as with most prep
arat:ons. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear in the rinsing water. Your hair
will be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and soft
ness will also delight you.-Adv.

White Residents Complain OF Use OF
ChiIdren's Park.


A city ordinance prohibiting negro
children from playing in ChiIdren's
park. is desired by about 200 citizens
who have presented a petition to that
effect to Commissioner McGiffert. Nc

it is impossible for him to take any
action in the matter.

brought the matter to some degree of
heat Betty disturbances have been in
evidence number of times in recent
weeks.
In the petition the signers tell of an
incident where a white boy was held
down while negro boys packed his
mouth with sand and dirt A white
woman interfered. This was when a
negro preacher came to the pond
with a number of negro boys. They
asked permission to come in. but were
told that they knew the rules. They
came in anyway. The white boys got
out of the pool. The negro boys got
angry and caught the one white boy
and proceeded to abuse him.
Commissioner McGiffert says that
it is one of the "unwritten laws" or
rules that the negro children may have

Marie S Successful Failure

Marie Carroll. a Washington girl,
who hade her debut in this city,
whose polite freshness of manner and
refinement of bearing are rotable
charms OF The Kiss Burglar" the
musical entertainment to be present
ed at Polls Theater for the week
beginning tomorrow evening, made
her most extraordinary success in
this piece after entering it in the
belief that she was only engaging in
sort of vacation stunt. a little
stage-land adventure.
Born in the State of Washington,
she came East to complete her edu-
cation, and then found her way into
the Poll Stock Company in this city.
She stayed here more than two year
before making the inevitable pill
grimage to Broadway.
MY first part in New York was
in old Lady 81 she said with
frankness, and l was promptly told
that. / was an utter failure in the
role of the young love-sick girl. l
was supposed to burst into the
room on several occasions and fling
myself into the arms of my young
lover.
For goodness sake. burst in like
the breath of spring Miss Crothers
used to tell me. You're the only
youth in the play
well, did my best bursting.
but somehow was never convinced
in my heart, and have every rea-
son to believe that the audience and
Miss Crothers were not convinced, so
my bursting was very bad. AS g. re-
suit l was one day informed in the
presence of the whole company that
was the most atrocious actress
on the face of the earth; that l knew
nothing whatever about the stage;
that l spoiled the play and that the
only reason 1 had not been discharg-
ed long before was that the man.
agement could not find anyone else

to play the part. So replied that
since that was the condition would
be real nice and leave the company.
and then 1 was quite sure a sub
stitute could be found. Thus after
eight weeks ended my engagement in
old Lady 81
And by this recital, ii must be add
ed, Miss Carroll proved herself one
actress in a thousand. Readers OF
these columns will remember that
only a few weeks after the produc-
tion of Miss Crother's play the ar
tificial nature and use of this love
story which Miss Carroll was oblig-
ed to put over" was pointed out II
was an impossible part in a delight
full play. Miss Carrolrs failure is
a proof of her sincerity, and nothing
more.
After thai adventure" she con-
tinued. II was informed by my man
ager that l should worry because
l was to go into a musical play.
l protested. All my training had
been dramatic. and 1 was not a.
clined at all to the musical stage.
But here / am. and certainly I'm
nothing if I'm not happy. This is
a wonderful production and a still
more wonderful company. There is
no reason IN the, world why anyone
in this company should not be happy.
How does it seem to play musical
comedy? Very good. In a piece of
this sort-and / could do nothing but
the so-called intimate variety-one
is really in a dramatic role. 1t is
that which makes this sort of en-
tertainment different from the older
musical-and better. This is really
new art form. And the audiences
lead US to believe that it is really
delightful entertainment"
Miss Carroll made a big hit in
"Oh, Boy" before going into The
Kiss Burglar" so her failure in "Old
Lat.' 81" was piece of good luck,
after all.

Miss Painters ray of light is this:
With American .theaters closed to

may realize the folly of it's ways
and make a place for its young
artists who have hitherto been fore
ed to go abroad for their training
and for hearing.

opportunities for our own singers at
