"Parlor, Bedroom
and Bath" at the
Colonial Tuesday

There will be no vacant seats at
the Colonial theatre either Tuesday
afternoon or evening, Judging by the
talk that has been heard on the
streets for 'Parlor. Bedroom and
Bath" the wonderful Broadway farce
is to be given there as the second big
feature for Metro week. For highly
ludicrous situations. brought about
with an adroitness and naturalness
extraordinary in comedy bordering
on farce, this play certainly exceeds
in entertainment value any picture
seen here in Il long time. There are
an interesting little story to it, sit
uationS that are actually irresistible
as merry -mallers and an all-star cast
that is notable. Scenic and costume
effects are remarkable in the extreme.

'.'Pape's Cold Compound" is
Quickest Relief Known

Don't stay stuffed-up. Quit blow
ing and snuffiing. A dose of "Pape's
Cold Compound" taken every two
hours until three doses are taken
usually breaks any cold right up.
The very first dose opens clogged
nostrils and the air passages of the
head; stops nose running; relieves
the head ache, dullness, feverishness.
''Pape's Cold Compound" costs only
a few cents at drug stores. 1t acts

Fish and Game-The 1920
Report of Commissioner

Willis E. Parsons of Foxcroft, COM
missioner OF inland fisheries and
game, in his annual report which
mas been filed with the Governor and
Council, declares that the unusual
number of summer visitors of the
preceding year seemed to continue
without abatement during the past
season of 1920, and it is estimated
that not less than half a million nom
residents during the summer months
found their way by train or auto
mobile to Maine.
This large influx of non-residents
taken with the residents who are
fishermen. make severe drain on
jmany of the lakes of the State. but
the department is putting forth
every effort to enlarge the output of
the hatcheries, to re-stock these
ponds and streams as fast as possible.
and also to protect the game SO that
those who remain for fall shooting
VIII not be disappointed, said Com
missioner Parsons.
Deer
II WAS thought that more deer
We're Killed the past year than the
preceding year, and yet the concensus
oil opinion among the guides, as
SHOWN by their recent reports is that
the deer are not only holding their
own but are on the increase. The
law prohibiting the consumption OF
oeer IN lumber camps has proved
most Salutary as there have been few
Vlolators among the lumbermen:
neither have there been many at
tempts by residents to ship deer out
OF the state. The increase of travel
and larger number of sportsmen COM
ing to Maine for big game. however.
make heavy draft upon the deer.
1T is estimated from the best data
obtainable that 10000 deer were killed
during the season Of 1919 and as
many more during the past year.

and by automobile inspectors of deer
