One hunting camp in the north
country region sure does take the
cake when it comes to hunting on
schedule. At this camp the boys
were said to arise at 10 o'clock, eat
breakfast and then hunt for a hail
hour before dinner. Remain in camp
until four o'clock and again take 9
half hour jaunt into the timber and
return again by dark. And the
best of it is the camp reports two
fine bucks, while several others got
dough" And there was no moon
shine to hunt with ither.

|SHUbERT AND FOX
 IN GIANT MERGER
Film Man Puts Half Million
 Dollars Into New Scheme

New York. Oct. 17.-The William Fox vaudeville enterprises in ahhlia- ton with the Shuberts' vaudeville en- terprise is virtually positive. It was first predicted by Variety two weeks ago. The final agreement was to have been signed Friday, following several days of conference between the Shu- berts, MT. Fox and Jack Loeb. The Shubert-F'ox deal is believed to be a merger. Through the combining of the two circuits the Shubert exchange will be extended at least eight weeks, giving the Shuberts a minimum of 21 weeks at this time. Fox is reported having bought in on Shubert vaude- vile to the extent of s500,OoO.
 According to insiders, Fox is to take over the management of Shubert vaudeville. Offices will be secured in which will be combined the executives of both enterprises. This is not de- signed to affect the Shubert vaudeville exchange as now constituted. It was patent the Shubert organization was not complete. The combination will have Arthur Klein Edgar Allen and Jack Loeb, the booking executives. Allen is considered booking expert and counts as an acquisition to Shu- bert vaudeville. John Zanft is named to be m charge of the theaters of the merged interests.
 The report of a Shubert-Fox vaude- vile combination antedates the start of Shubert vaudeville. A proposed fusing had progressed to a practical stage early in the summer, but it is supposed the deal failed to go through because of the high salaried acts con- tracted for not being figured feasible for Fox bills.
 The Fox circuit has beer various ly reported going into the Keith of flee and joining with the Shuberts. The latter course was considered the more logical move, since the Fox theaters devoted to vaudeville in New York are in close proximity to the Keith outlying stands and therefore opposed. With the number of acts available cut down. by the Keith of fee, the Fox bookings were in no po- sition to have bookings further cur tailed by any move of the Shubert of flee.
 The final arrangements as drawn up by Attorneys William Klein and Saul Rogers, acting, respectively, for the Shuberts and William Fox are under stood to provide the management of the combined circuits to be given over to Fox and that the Shuberts are to be financially interested, though not in physical charge of the vaudeville houses.

U. $. MARINE BAND PRAISED BY SLOPER
President of National Bank Con-
 pliments American Legion Also

The music loving people of New Brit ain are under special obligation to the local branch of the American Legion for giving the people an opportunity of hearing the celebrated Marine Band of Washington in two most satisfactory concerts yesterday.
 The Legion took a considerable risk in bringing so large and expensive or ganiZation to the city in these times of unusual depression and it is a satisfac- ton to know that they were able to pay their expenses although the mar gin is not as large could be wished. Nothing but words of highest praise has been heard of the two performances that were given under the direction of Leader Santelmann. While the organ ization is essentially a band in all that the term implies, yet in a large num- Der of selections and especially in some of the encores one had only to close his eyes to believe that he was listen ing to a high class orchestra. With the large proportion of reed instruments particularly of clarinets and oboes, the wonderful effects produced were fully equal to an orchestra composed large ly of stringed instruments. Leader Santelmann had his musicians well in hand and there was not single notice able break either in tempo or instru- mentation. Perhaps the most effective numbers were the finale from Rienzi and from the Valkyries, both by Wag- ner. The crescendo and shading in both these selections were wonderful and the work of the clarinets in the dance of the Valkyries was fully as fine as though rendered by violins.
 The two soloists, particularly a trom- bone solo by MT. Clark, showed that they were both artists in the best sense There was no straining for effects and the tones of the trombone were as sweet and perfect as those of a cello. The tone was wonderful. The same could be said of the work of the cornetist. While we had no opportunity to hear the leading clarinetist in solo, yet he showed himself to be a perfect master of the instrument and the clearness and sweetness of his clarinet where he had small solo parts, was delight to the ear. -,.
 The two selections by Leader San home quite as much as leader of first class orchestra as he was in the leader of brass band, and the writer feels that he voices the opinion of the musi- cal people of New Britain that we have never had a better or more satisfactory musical organization in New Britain and our thanks are returned to the American Legion for permitting us to hear them.
 The audience was enthusiastic and MT Santelmann was very generous in his encores which gave wider variety to the program than we had the right to expect from the program itself.

 Mrs. McCumber is one of the unnum- bered thousands of housewives who struggle to keep about their daily tasks, while suffering from ailments peculiar to women with backache, sideaches, headaches, bearing down pains and ner- vousness, and if every such woman should profit by her experience and give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound trial they would get well.

the cure is effected. The saint goes to the heavenly physician and takes the prescription and the cure is eff fected the same way.
 In the 20th verse, 4th chapter of Second Timothy from a letter written by Paul, "Erastus abode at Corinth,
 but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick If Trophimus, who was good personal friend of PauPs was too sick to travel, why did not Paul heal
 him at once, rather than go away and leave him?
 This proves nothing against Paul. That Paul had the gift of healing is unquestiona hle, but there are condi- tions to be met by the person who is seeking to be healed, so that the hindering cause was not in Paul, but, l believe, in Trophimus.
 Is the power of divine healing a gift, such as was claimed by Alex ander Dowie?
 The power of divine healing is a gift. Alexander Dowie had this gift in the early days of his ministry, but in theN latter days his pride caused his downfall
 In another place in the Bible we read where Paul prayed to have a thorn removed from his flesh, but it was not removed. If this thorn" was a mental or physical affliction why didn't PauIs prayers remove it? The scripture is silent as to what this thorn really was. To say it was an ailment is going outside of the scripture. I do not know what the thorn was.
 If prayer can cure people of bodily ills at 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50, why not at 75 or 100 or 15O? Why not elim- mate death? Christ not only healed by prayer, he also raised the dead.
 Why can't modern faith headers" also bring h~t the dead?
 Prayer 6sr cured anything. It is God who does it. No man ever cured anything. It is our privilege to be healed up to the time of death, whether it is 150 or more. It is Gods business to remove people out of this world anytime he wants to and he doesn't need the help of the devil to do it either. We are promised heal ing in the scriptures but not all promised deliverance from death. We onught to distinguish between the commission given to the apostles and the commission given to believers. Was healing a vital function of Jesus work or only incidental? Yes, absolutely vital.
 | If the former, why did he not de- vote himself to it?
 He did, he gave all the time neces- sary for it. He healed everyone that came to him.
 Was Jesus divine because he did these works of healing, or did he do them because he was divine? He did them because he was divine. He received worl1ship. If he was not divine he was the worst imposter the world has ever known. Can you give concrete, practical proof of the truth of divine healing in modern science, or present day con- ditions, outside of the bible entirely :? Yess, shall be glad to do it. Can you give names and addresses of New Britain people who have been cured entirely through the medium of these services? Yes,
