Here are some, of the expressions Of the critic of the Record: Tt Is one of the best laugh producers offered the American public in ;t great many years. The show enjoyed a long run on Broadway and after witnessing the performance ii is easy to see why it is so popular. Go and see 'Ma"ys Ankle and you will be convinced that ii is about the best thing that has ever been shown to the playgo- ing public. 'Mary's Ankle is well worth seeing"
 Now listen to what the Herald man says: Even as The Thirteenth Chair ranked as about the best dra- matic effort that the Lyceum Players have thus far put across. so also. does 'Marys Anklo, this weeks pro duction, properly tanll as about the best comedy they have thus far pro- duced In it the entire company cast has ample opportunity for individual work and each member does his cr her part very well. 'Mary's L>nklA' Is a good play, one that people will uu- doubtedly enjoy. It's comedy is com- plete. but free from suggestion of any kind, and capacity houses should be the result if the local theatergoers appreciate the play offered them.'
 For the remainder Of the week thero has been an enormous demand for seats particularly as this is Thanksgiving week and in view of this the management urges that those wishing to see the play who have not already ordered their seats do so at once. There will he a spe- cial matinee tomorrow. Thankssiv Day. at 2:30 o'clock.

Easily And cheaply made ct home, but 1t beats then, all for quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thrds of the money usually spent for cough prepara- tions, by using the well-known old recipe for making cough syrup at home. It is simple and cheap but 1t has ne equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get a1a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, is tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts 8 family a long time.
