To Abandon Newspaper
Game for Vaudeville

of either Charlie Chaplin or William
S. Hart. Two extremes, of course. but
Mr. Santora is a person of many parts
and probably would nave scored on
either side the coin fell.
Now, however, he has passed up the
movie proposition and expects to hit 1t
up in vaudeville.
BY way of a more familiar introduce
ton, Mr.. Sanford is better known as
Little Joe." and hes a sort of crown
prince newsboy. He's rounded out
about II years of his young life. but
at that he can sell papers faster than
an hour glass can grind out sand.
Dye tink yer can get me in on the
Keith circuit Mister Crosbie the
newsboy queried of the Lyric manager.
Il tink | can do a Jimmie Lucas stunt,
a Jim Corbett monologue, or little
blackface eccentric stuff. You know,
Mister Crosbie, some OF desc ginks are
frosty I've seen some birds on the
stage what couldn't sell an uxtry II the
Lunnon bridge had fell down. ! tink
little trainin' and | can cop the
money"
Manager Crosbie, naturally, Will get
into Immediate touch with the Keith
mana cement and who knows but that
new trail over the circuit from CHI
the ascendency. Because there's ar
actor in embryo who's all set to blaze
a new trail over the circuit from Chi
to Frisco and NYork to New Orleans
Joseph is one of the small army OF
newsboys for The Age Herald that oc-
cupies an entire balcony section in the
Lyric theatre every Friday night
through courtesy of Mr.. Crosbie.
If you were at the show last night and
didn't see Little joe at least you heard
him.
So this is why the newspaper profess
sion is likely TO lose an aurora borealis

among them. And a once famous pub
Usher and editor used, to have the sort
of easy rocking chair in his private
office because he was better able to
think clearly and quickly when his
body was entirely at ease.
But most men and women feel that
to sit in a comfortable or easy chair
in business hours would be exceedingly
unorthodoX However. the feeling is
waning. Gradually you see comforta-
lie upholstered chairs. wicker chairs
fitted with cushions at the back seat
and side making their way into bust
ness offices. Our business woman is
able to get through her hardest day
work without intense fatigue because
she has comfortable chair in her Of
flee. where she sits in an attitude of
relaxation when she is debating let
tiers to her stenographer or reading
her mail Sometimes bv taking five
ninutes of complete relaxation in this
chair She is able to drive ahead on
work that otherwise she might have to
pigeonhole until the next day.
And business men are realizing the
fact that if they seat their visitors in
comfortable chairs they are actually
more apt to come to pleasant business
TENS with them. In the adjusting de-
partment of one of the large depart
ment stores it is especially arranged
that the one who has a complaint or
grievance to explain is seated in a lux
uriously comfortable chair at the side
of the man to whom she makes the
complaint. She is reIaxed physically
and this naturally tends to relax her
mentally. She is in a far better frame
of mind and far less likely to be I'M
reasonable than as if she were al
lowed to Stand or to sit in an uncom-
Portable chair.

Ills Folly to Predict Too Freely as
to What Women Will and Will Not
Wear-and Just Because 1t Has
Been Said That women Are Not
Going TO Wear Muffs" Is No Very
Good Reason for Surprising That
They Won't.
were not going to be much worn this
winter Jumping at conclusions, one
might have supposed that the fact
that muffs were not so popular last
winter as they were the winter be-
fore was reason to believe that they
were not going to be worn much. if
AIRY, this winter. 1t might have looked
Ike a passing out of muffs.
But there were two very good rea-
sons for thistle war and the climate.
We were not buying any more furA
than necessary. We were not spending
any more money than was necessary
for clothes We felt that a fur collar
was necessary, but we could dispense
with the muff. Besides. muffs were in
the way if you didn't need them. It
may be that you ran your own motor
car because your chauffeur had gone
overseas or had gone into munitions
Perhaps you toted your own bundles
for patriotic reasons. At any rate,
you used public conveyances more than
usual ana you DSeued your nanuS. De-
sides in and around New York and
other large eastern cities it was de-
cidedly warm. you will remember
There were very few days when a muff
would really have been necessary. AS
fact, muffs were not worn during
those days that came so close upon
the days when. though the war was
over. the casualty lists still appeared
and women still knitted and worked
and had little heart or inclination to
buy moro furs or Others finery than
they needed.
But the squirrels have been bury
ing their nuts deep-and the fur that
comes close to their skin is thicker
than usual, all of which proves to the
4 farmer whom you ask that the winter
Is to be hard and long.
Meantime some interesting muffs
have been brought out and they are
SO fetching that the woman who can
afford them will hardly wait for cold
weather before she years one. There
are pillow muffs that are different
from pillow muffs of other seasons,
because they are round and are shir-
red just like round fur cushions that
one sees in every French woman's
bcudoir. But the really interesting
thing about muffs that might be worn
with more than one frock by the wom-
an who has gone in heavily for
monkey trimming on her WINTER lrocKS
If there is a band of monkey fur on
your frock. then you must carry a
monkey muff. There are winter frocks
that are made especially to be worn
without any outside wrap and it is
with these that the matching muff
is most desirable. Later. of course,
over such a frock you may wear a
wrap, but the muff you carry must
still match the frock. not the wrap,
and presumably you carry the muff
as a part of the scheme of your get
up, even when you have arrived at
your destination and have left off
your wrap.

Joseph Santora is going to quit the
newspaper game.
Things are on the blink in journalism
and the publishing business is not what
it was IN the good old days
Print paper has gone skyward anu
the way Mr.. Sanford views the situa-
ton the morning paper will soon cost
the subscriber around s4.25 per week
L And then the wars over and there s
nothing in the papers nowadays ex-
cept the peace pact squabble the coal
strike. steel strike, bolshevfki and such
like.
In way, you can't blame Mr.. san
tora for desiring to jack the game.
Mr.. Sanford has become something OF
fixture around The Age-Herald and
stood next in Importance to the circula-
tion manager.
Indeed, it is vastly due to the efforts
of Mr. Sanford and his department that
The Age-Herald has built up its sub
stantial city circulation.
Joseph Sanford, let it be said, has
proven a successful newspaper man
one thlnS, there mas never Deen any
red tape connected with his depart
ment. His salesmanship methods were
both quick and simple.
Mr. Santora likely will enter the the
atrical business. Negotiations now are
pending with w. S. Crosbie, manager of
the Lyric. and Mr. Sanford expects
them to result in his launching or
lunging forth in vaudeville.
When the idea first filtered through
Mr.. Santora's dome he leaned toward
the motion picture end along the line

HOUSEHOLD
MINUTES OF RELAXATION

1t is foolish to sit in an uncomfort-
able chair when you might sit in a
comfortable one. For the very fact
that it is uncomfortable is proof thai
it is using up your strength and nerv-
Gus energy to sit in 1t. The reason
the comfortable chair is comfortable
is because it makes no demands on
your strength There are times when
being too comfortable might interfere
with your efficiency. Then doubtless
the straight stiff chair is better. For
Instance. the student who is in danger
Of doing if he sits I'm a comforta-
BILE chair with his books had better
take a straight one. The housewife
who tried to pare potatoes in a Nor
ris chair might take an hour at doing
what might be done in 10 minutes.
But if it does not interfere with doing
what you are doing well and quickly,
then why not take the chair that is
comfortable? 1t will leave all the more
energy with which to do other useful
things.
Several successful American writer's
have done their writing in comforta-
Bile rocking chairs-Lew Wallace

matte Aches and Pains

Whenever you suffer from an attack of
rheumatism. your muscles and joints ache
and hurt it's but natural to try to stop the
pain. Such relief. however, is only tempo
rary and sooner or later the aches and agony
return, even worse than before because the
poisons are all the time accumulating in the
blood.
The necessary treatment is to remove the
real cause Of the aches and pains-cleanse
the blood of those impurities which multiply
unless the proper treatment is applied
Do this before another attack, before your
joints swell and you lose the use of the
weli-known Plouxh's Prescription C-222s and
q package of 1929 Liver Pills. Take one dill
at bedtime; the following morning begin the
ment, taking teaspoonfuI doses three times a
day in half glass of water. Wear suitable
clothing, do not expose yourself in damp
weather and abstain from the use Of red
meats and pastry.
Many medical authorities agree that there
very few drugs which have any value
