Theatergoers who have been In front
of tho footlights often enough to know

TO enjoy the pleasure of seeing some of
them under unusual conditions during
tho last week. SO widespread Is un-
employment among the players that
many of them have been glad TO accept
work anywhere during the rush OF the
holiday season. II happens that thene
has always been a certain sympathy
between the proprietors OF a large book
shop on Fifth avenue and the players.
SO there IL was possible TO find work
as extra statesmen for a number OF
actors during the recent rush.
Customers were more than once sur
prised to recognize a more or less we'll
known face among the statesmen. After
certain amount OF thought on the
subject Il was possible sometimes to
recall the features. At others the pa

actor Of greater or less renown whom
they had glimpsed in new role.

Rheumatic Pains and Twinges.

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided. after years OF
ceaseless study, that no one can b.
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly call
cd uric acid deposits, were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
with this idea in mind he consuiten
physicians, made experiments and H.
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism
from his system.
| He freely gave his discovery II
others who took II with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years Of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
( covery through the newspapers. y
