VAUDEVILLE COMPANY CLOSES LOCAL ENGAGEMENT TONIGHT WIIH NEW BILL AT PALACE

a Tonight will bring the local en. gagement of the Ellis Vaudeville Company to a close and as the man agement of the Palace Theatre has announced an entire change of pro gram of the vaudeville as well as the pictures, that the Palace will again have a crowded house, seems as- sured.
 A particularly good picture is featured for first showing on to- nights new bill, it being a serio- comedy entitled Bringing up Betty, " and is claimed to be one of the best shown at the Palace Theatre
 The new vaudeville gives promise of being one of the most attractive programs yet offered, and in addition to an all new bill of songs and dances and comedy, several novelty turns will be presented, particularly interesting will be a Hawaiian Hula Hula number by Parqueta Courtney and Barbara Bronell, a "shimmie dance. and new comedy sketch with Bobby Mack playing another one of his "boob" characters.
 The Ellis Company has created quite a favorable impression upon local theatre goers and Manager McGreer of the company claims to nights program will add to that impression.

TURNED THE JOKE ON ANTONY
Cleopatra Softened Humiliation by
Compliment That Should Have
Warmed Soldiers Heart.

After Cleopatra had vamped the
Roman general. Antony. and had won
him from camp and battle to bask in
the warm sun of Egypt by her per-
fumed side, she was often at loss
to devise new means of entertaining
him. One day she hit upon the idea
of fishing party, and the two, ac-
companied by great retinue, pro-
ceeded to the rivers edge, where they
fished to the tinkle of harps and the
waving of peacock feather fans.
Antony had but i'll luck, and the
maids of honor pulled up more fish
than he. This was held to be
either great joke or an indication
of the displeasure of the gods, and
it needed but a feather weight to
throw the scales either way. Antony
hated being laughed at, and to be
thought disfavored by the gods was
q serious business in those days. He
therefore arranged with a personal
s.ave to strip and dive beneath the

Day after day the young man

Of coming over to the farmhouse In

in town, he explained, was not ex-
actly luxurious in it's appointments
and he welcomed the chance for human
intercourse.
Thus matters proceeded throughout
the summer. The artist worked in

was soon on terms of intimate friend

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Khmer's Swamp Root il
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Dual Personality Results From Auto

Ch.cago.-On Halloween in 1916 a
recklessly driven automobile crashed
into a telephone pole on highway
near Falls Greek, Pa, hurting three
joy riders to the pavement. One of the
trio was Joseph A. McGrath, "A years
old, a law student.
Shortly after the accident, McGrath
told federal officials recently, he devel-
oped dual personality. There were
days when he was normal, in posses
sion Of all his faculties. There were
days of splitting headaches, when
time seemed to pass in haze. He
worked to save when he was normal.
At other times he was spendthrift.
A Good Job-and Trouble.
When the war began he tried to en-
list, but the examining physician re
fused to pass him. "Psycho-some-

The home folks pitied McGrath.

He was made postmaster. For time

have trouble. On the days when his
mind seemed in a haze his accounts
were usually short.
In September, 1918, an inspector
found something was wrong with the
books. He told McGrath he would call
again. When he arrived McGrath was
gone. So was $1,000.

The deputy marshal took him to the

NEW YEARS IN AMERICA.

New Year calls in America, once SO
popular, are now about obsolete
though attempts at their revival are
frequently made. Midnight services
in churches and home watch" par
ties. the ringing of bells and blowing
of whistles are present widespread
forms of helping to usher In the first
Gay OF the new year. And the burden
of everyone's song is. "A very happy

The Cue Is the Thino

The billiard cue is equal in place
to the table, and the manufacturers Of
cues select their woods with great
care and circumspection. The weight
must be neither too little nor too large,
and since the size is regulated in Gus
tom, the requisite weight is secured by
selecting the wood that possesses it,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
The cue must have elasticity. 1t must
start the ball upon its journey with
the proper speed. That cannot be
done by the player alone, no matter
how skillful he may be. The cue is
called upon to do its part. Maple is
regarded as the best wood for cues.
