DR.. G. H. Lerrigo, Executive Secre-

Association. 10000 persons died
last year from tuberculosis; one per

this disease; and twenty persons die
every hour and 4SO every day from
tuberculosis, although it is both cur
able and preventable, if taken in

Shot and shell in one year snuffed
out a million lives. Last year the
tubercle bacillus slew more than
million in the warning countries.
Since the Civil War, the tubercle
bacillus has sent to death more than
five million men and women in the
United States-most of them young,
most of them productive. During our
Civil War it killed four hundred
thousand of our people-more than

she may break up the association for

she may frequent the places where
advertisement is answered by the son
of the proprietor of newspaper, who
happens to be fond of adventure, and
who proves to be a veritable rock of
protection and safety in the doubtful
path followed by the daughter in her
mission. The daugh-
ter has one narrow escape from a
rather disagreeable situation from
which she is saved by the strong
arm Of her hired companion. with
whom, quite naturally, she falls in
love in the course of the interesting

"Red Hot Dollars" Z"

Charles Ray is pictured this week
at Loew's Palace Theater as Tod
Burke, young iron molder. in one
Of those stories Of the type that has
made him so popular as a screen star.
He saves his employer in an accident
at the foundry one day, at the risk
of his own life, only to discover that
the man and the grandfa ather of the
girl he loves are inveterate enemies.
The employer takes Tod to his own
home to be nursed during his recov-
cry from serious injuries and ulti-
mately conceives an affection for him
and offers him a prominent position
in the foundry. The girls grand
father, however, drives him away
from his house and will have no more
to do with him. Ultimately Tod gets
the girl a position under the same
employer, from which her grand
father has her discharged. A solu-
tion to their difficulties is ultimately
found and all ends happily. But there
is much in the way of action and
lively, interesting incident in the
story throughout.
The entertainment is augmented by
excellent orchestral music and minor
film features.

All that has been said Of the show
by those who witnessed 1t last sea-
son holds good now. 1t Is "a riot of
color. with richly bedecked interiors.
landscapes, etc" The story is a fam
ciful one which finds a mother who
wants her daughter to marry a man
with lineage dating back to the
early ages. Upon consulting the
magic crystal she succeeds in landing
Bagdad. one of the characters Of
the days Of Sinbad the Sailor. A
wishing lamp has its part in the show
by the aid of which the party is
transported to Joyland. A shipwreck
follows, which eventually ends in the
characters finding themselves on the
land of today.
Excellent specialties are introduced
with elaborate dances by an excep-
tionally pretty chorus. Jolson intro
duces new musical hits" that win
applause, with several entertaining
monologues. one Of which was recit-
ing his experience in a local hotel.

"Should a Woman Tell?"

Should a Woman Tell?" which was
shown yesterday at the Metropolitan
and the knickerbocker theaters, pic
lures a thrilling steamship wreck off
the New England coast. The scene
on the ship, which is rolling in the
heavy surf, and the excitement on
shore when the life-savers send the
rocket over the endangered craft,
had a marked effect on the large
audiences at both theaters. The
bringing of the passengers ashore, in
the darkness and q driving rain,
swinging in the breeches buoy, had
all the action of an actual shipwreck.
Alice Lake has the leading character
in a plot which also sails in a mucky
ocean. A comedy. From Hand to

seas and current news pictures de-
lighted the eye, and the orchestra

"My Husbands Other Wife"

my Husbands Other Wife," j.
Stuart Blackton special production,
which opened weeks engagement at
Moore's Strand Theater yesterday, is a
drama of complications, presenting the
the glamour of the footlights and will
not give them up for her husband, who
has sacrificed his ambitions and be-
come merely the husband of Adelaide
Hedlar." Complications bring about
divorce, but the actress hesitates about
marrying the playwright until she is
sure her husband is married again.
Then she realizes that his was love
worth having, and she decides to
attempt to win him back. Up to this
point the story moves steadily, surely
