 COLISEUM SUNDAY, ONLY

When such eminent authorities as the siaf8 AafAes Cardinal Gibbons, ana Cardinal Mercier, the heroic PrelatA of Belgium. commend and approve q play, it must indeed be of superior quality. and of all things exactly cor rest as to truthfulness and detail, such approval has been given by both to "The Confession" written by Hal Reid, the author of more sue ressfuf plays than any other living wtfeer. ,, This will be presented, at the Coliseum for Sunday night only
 Mir. Reid has been often asked as to which of his plays he thought the best, and before having written "The Confession" he was at loss to an swer. hesitating between his 27-year- old success, Human Hearts, which is still playing, and one or two of the others, but now there is no hesi- tation. the playwright pronouncine "The Confession" to be his best anf considering it as the one work of his brain which will perpetuate his name.
 As a stage play "The Confession made a wonderful record, and during it's Broadway run an; Incident Oc cured which set the entire press of New. York City agog, the play was running during Lent, when play-going is prescribed. many thousands of the faithful denying themselves amuse ments during the -Lenten season Notwithstanding this, MT.

tupity for the kind of work in which Mr. iKerrtgsA has achieved his fore posk suceesses. iEarly in the action of the play he is seen as a young man of refinement who has sunk to the lowest ebb, cast aside by the whites, he lives in a negro hut, no one knowing or caring who he is or from whence he came. As the story develops, he rises under the influence of girl of high ideals until at last he becomes one of the dominating factors of the town which had summed him as an outcast.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept. IT, Check my trunk for Lockport, N. Y.; it's weight is under the limit. So saying. the nasty traveller dropped a local expressman's check into the hands of the baggage master. The latter found the trunk. It weighed twice the "excess limit" A helper was called to move the trunk onto a truck.
 Crash! The trunk slipped with a thud from their strong hands. A soapy substance oozed out or the trunk. A "drumfire' was heard with in. It was the popping of home brew.
 The trunk was checked" but after the "oozing' ceased the weight had fallen below the excess limit"

THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE.

The Edison questions tested a faculty
of picking up and retaining separate
items of general information. If Mr.. Ed
ison wanted men with this peculiar alert
ness and retentiveness in his work, then
the questions were a fair test of what he
wanted. Educators business men, people
in general. however, seem to be agreed
that they did not in any way test power,
ability or real knowledge.
General discussion of the matter has
led many people to inquire what consti-
tutes worthwhile knowledge. What is
education? What is it for? How can
you tell when you've got it? These in
quiries ought to prove fruitful.
There was a time when the "humani-
ties" were considered aIl-important. They
were merely the study of classical lang
uages and iteratures. In the last cen
fury science assumed the supreme place.
Now it is seen that sciences, leading to
material welfare without the qualities of
mind necessary to enjoy and utilize that
welfare for happiness and service, is
vain. The swing toward culture has be-
gun again.
Standing between science and the arts
is language. Lately the study of lang
uages has been somewhat looked down
upon by advocates of both Yet here, and
only here. is the key which unlocks life.
Only by the study of the past can the
future be forecast. Only through lang
uages can one know the people who spoke
them. The study of language is the study
of humanity.
To succeed at science, one must be able
to read the languages in which other
scientists have recorded their discoveries.
To succeed in applying or enjoying any
form of art one must know the soul of
the people who produced it.
The study of language also includes
things which make other studies valu-
able. 1t calls forth reasoning, memory,
Imagination, constructive power
1t is said that only one American of
the many at the peace conference, was
at home with the French language What
an indictment for a people who want to
consider themselves great! Languages
are the necessary tools of human inter
course.
Surely a large part of education should
be the study of languages. Without the
study of other tongues, in fact, one never
becomes master of his own.

ALL THAT HOUsEwORK.

Mrs. Samuel McKelvie, wife of the
governor of Nebraska, bids fair to become
famous. When asked to tell the public
how she accomplishes the work in a 81
room mansion without servants, Mrs.
McKelvie replied with an account which
has aroused general attention.
First, Mrs. McKelyie told people that
she emulates her grandmother, whose ac-
tivities covered even a broader range
than her own, that her grandmother was
''helpmate," not a ''helpspend,' a pro-
ducer, not parasite, and that blue" and
discouraged" were not in her vocabu-
larry. Secondly, she herself plans her
work and accomplishes it with system.
Thirdly, she spends three months every
year OUT of doors.
These three things help greatly, of
course-keeping in mind the producing
purpose, being systematic and looking at
life with the clear eyes which living close
to nature gives.
But they do not explain to the salts
faction of the other sane, systematic and
clear-visioned housewives how Mrs. Nc
Kelvie gets all her homework done by
ten o'clock" What does she mean by
''all her work. these indignant ones
want to know. Do the MeKelyies not

After You Are Fifty

You can expect almost anything be-
cause your vitality is fast becoming used
up and as rule one becomes over anxious
to lay aside money enough to care for
their old age, and during this nerve
breaking period, and worries, you are
liable to have a nervous breakdown, and
become fit subject for kidney, liver, and
heart troubles.
When you find yourself approaching
or afflicted with these ubles, you can
build yourself up again by taking from
10 to 20 drops in little water of the old
and reliable remedy, SEVEN BARKS.
Don't wait until you are down sick, but
step into your nearest druggist and invest
a small sum for a bottle of SEVEN
BARKS and be prepared.
1t doesn't matter whether you are 20
or 80 if you find that your digestion or
gans resent what you eat, your heart pal
pilates on the slightest exertion, your
back aches after a days work, you need
a good tonic, kidney and liver regulator.
This you viii find in SEVEN BARKS,
the Old-fashioned root and herb remedy
that our parents and grandparents used
to keep their families rugged and well.
If you want to get the greatest efficiency
out of your body, enjoy and prolong your
life, take SEVEN BARKS. For sale at
druggists.-Adv.
