New acknowledgements"

New NationaI-"Rcm mnant.'
A Curiously uneven and intermit-
tently interesting comedy OF the Louis
Philippe period in Paris was disclosed
at the New National last evening un-
der the abbreviated and incisive title
of Remnant" which revealed not in
the least the sort Of play that was
behind it,
Stripped OF non-essentials. the COM
edy is a half-sincere and highly SEN
timentalized study Of the metamor-
phOsis of feminine waif-a French
sister of those wistful little ladies
who We're portrayed by Eleanor Rob-
son in Merely Mary Ann" by Laur-
ettc Taylor as 'Aunted' Annie" by
Ethel Barrymore in The Silver Box.
The quaint little figure who is placed
at the center of this unusual variant
of the French dramatic triangle is
idealZed,-but not in the least IN the
spirit of either American or Anglo
Saxon sentimental idealiZation in
comedies OF this type Undoubtedly
it is true that Michael Morton's adap-
tation OF the original play by Dario
NicCodemi has changed much of its
original spirit. Doubtless much of
the nuance and intimate touch OF the
comedy as written LOT the lSalln pup
lie has been lost. and inevitably so.
Remnant as it Is now played pos
sesses no pungency of satire, no genu
inc comedy spirit; it is simply the
story of a little flower OF girl who
has lived her young life in the streets
and slums of Paris, and emerged
from the experience unsullied.
Perhaps it is a survival OF Puritan
ism in the American viewpoint which
makes Remnant and romance a not
altogether satisfying mixture. Ier
protector. her beau ideal, is a Paris
ian youth who has a harridan of.
cabaret singer as his mistress. This
harridan, of course. is duly cast out
when Remnant" has brought a real
love into his life; nevertheless, Rem
nant" has lived as servant with the
pair of them. and even in the glory
of her naivete was rather acutely
aware of the relations that existed
between them. And yet her young
eyes can perceive no flaw in her hero.
Perhaps il was the characteristic
manifestation of the maternal instinct
that intensified her love in the aim
TO rescue her Galahad from the tolls
of a repulsive vampire. if such a har-
ridan can be called a vampire.

around again before long. We have
failed to learn the full particulars
as to how this accident really hap
pened, but it seems that it arose
through the fact that someone did
not know that the gun was loaded.
The accident happened in the house
of George Schlief, who was sitting in
rocking chair at the time. The
charge passed underneath the chair
in which Mr.. Schlief was sitting, cut
one rung in the chair, and passed d.
rectly between his legs and struck
Mr.. Enghdahl in the leg, from which
the doctor cleaned out 20 shots. Mr..
Schlief was struck in his feet by
about half a dozen shot detected
from their course, when they struck
the rung. They had only penetrated
skin deep, hence Mr.. Schlief escaped
with the scare, and is now better
than before, only that he carries a
greater respect than ever, even for
the old shot gun.

CHURCH COOPERATION FOR
COMMUNITY AND WORLD UPLIFT

Representatives of all the denomi-
nations in each county are forming
county councils to undertake local
studies and to insure that they are
complete and accurate. Surveyors un-
der their supervision will collect the
necessary information. They are to re-
port upon the condition of every
church in the county, its member
ship, its financial condition, whether
1t is gaining or losing members wheth-
er its families are receiving pastoral
care. They are to report upon church
groupings, upon conflicting efforts,
upon neglected territory or families,
upon community centers, social build
ings, lodges and other social organi-
cations.
The county council will then study
this data and use it's own Judgment
about arranging for INSTRUMENTATION
al local efforts to handle purely local
conditions. 1t will then certify the
information to the state council. This
body is also composed of representa-
tives-at least one clergyman and one
layman-from all the denominations.
The state council assemblies the re.
ports of the county council, studies
them, works out it's own advisory pro-
gram and sends complete report to
divisional headquarters.
In all the work that is done, there
will be absolutely no interference with
church organization. Each denom-
ination will do its own work in its
own way. All will unite, however. in
securing the data necessary to fulfill
the duty of the churches to their COM
munities; and in this way each will
benefit, and will know how best to
enlarge its activities for the welfare
and uplift of the people in their sphere
of influence.
A general conference of 500 repre-
sentatives from 200 Protestant socie-
ties was held in Cleveland, Ohio. in
May, where the plan of the move
ment was approved It has since been
Endorsed by boards whose membership
comes from rs denominations, repre-
senting 100000 churches, with a con
stituency Of 5O,O00,000 persons.
The work as planned has already
been in operation in the state of Ohio,
where results have proven of the
greatest benefit to the forward move
ment of the churches; and tremendous
stimulus and growth has resulted al
ready from the cooperation which has
been extended by all the denominations
in the various communities of the
state. Georgia is beginning the work
of making a survey at the present
time; and with the help of all Prot
estant bodies in the state is expected
to make rapid progress.

when they give a public statement
it is bound to attract attention. Read
what they say about the new medi-
cine called Dreco.
For some time both my wife and
myself have been sufferers from an
aggravated stomach trouble. Even
the best selected food would disagree
with us and cause pains, gas and
bloating. The liver was sluggish
in action and it was not long before
the kidneys gave trouble, Our ap-
petites fell away and sleep was
broken and failed to rest US. / am
So years old and have never taken
any medicine that acted as promptly
and with such pleasant effect as
Dreco has done. Both of us are ever
with both of our troubles and are
feeling better than in a long time.
1t is with pleasure that we give this
public endorsement of this grand
medicine Dreco."
Since the introduction in this sec
ton of the root and herb medicine
Dreco, many persons have testified
as to the good it has done them in
cases of indigestion, dyspepsia. gas
on the stomach, constipation, weak
kidneys, pains in the back and aching
limbs; nervousness, loss of sleep and
poor appetite. There is not better
remedy anywhere for a sluggish liv-
