Most Of the startling spectacles on the
Partisan stage are not OF such an elabo-

comment, the bathing pool OF an Oriental

tavorites are enjoying the bath, and from
the hips up they are seen to be as nature
made them.

who is seeing the sights Of the world In

Then the scene changes. The com.

alluring nymphs begin to entertain them
with wine and caresses. The valiant but
uncouth soldiers and sailors fall easy and
willing victims to the charms and de-
lights that are spread before them.
Then they are induced to partake OF the

takes upon himself the task Of choking his
erring favorite to death.
Then begins the act called THE Dance
OF Death" which is the strangest combt
nation of clever dancing and apparent
cruelty ever seen. The sultan appears to
be choking his favorite to death while
they both dance rhythmically, but spas
medically to music. Time after time the
muscular little favorite slips away from
him, and his strength gradually weakens.
At a supremely exciting moment he
stands her on her head, while he presses
on her throat with both hands until he
has squeezed the life out OF her,

PARIS Nov. 26.
-HE Partisan theatres have almost ex-
hausted the possibilities of shock
L ing the public but the desire OF
profit constantly spurs them on to attempt
new and more daring spectacles.
From time to time a theatre succeeds
in shocking even the hardened Partisan
audiences and in arousing public protest.
But it seems impossible to secure any Of
fetal action against the theatres.
There are, indeed, many Frenchmen
who object to immodest spectacles. but
they appear to be powerless against the
theatrical directors.
The very latest Partisan effort to startle
the world is the play called "Circe,' by
Alfred Poizat. The author endeavors 10
throw glamor of literary dignity over his
work nv choosing this classical subject.
but It is obviously used as subterfuge to
present nudity shamclessy. The play Is
in blank verse and the author is man OF
scholarly attainments, having written
dramatic works on other classical subjects
-"Sophonisbe" "Antigone." Electra and
THE Cyclops."
Everybody knows that Circe Is tue pio
totype of the wicked sorceress. She dwell
with her attendant maidens on falr
island In the Aegean Sea. Her home was
in a great cave, where she lived surround
ed by creatures who had once been men,
but had been changed into beasts by the
sorceress and her charmers.
The wandering Ulysses visited the
island. Half his crew entered the cave and
we're promptly changed into swine. The
willy Ulysses would have experienced the
same fate, but was warned in time and
furnished with a counter charm by Apollo
His companions were suffering agonies
for they were conscious OF being men and
felt the disgrace of being enclosed IN pig
was able to rescue them.
Ever since then Ci-ct has been the type
of the wicked woman who transforms men
into swine by her charms. Anybody can

the PORT or
MISSING FRIENDS
Worldwide Bureau Locates
Lost, Strayed or Stolen
Human Beings.

The Salvation Army conducts the
most extensive detective bureau in the
world. The chain of branches from
which the search goes forth reaches
around the world and extends even to
the leper colonies in Java and the
criminal tribes Of India. In seventy
countries and colonies and over 1000
cities, towns and villages throughout
the world it has trained workers seek
ing those who have disappeared
In the United States 1900 inquiries
Tor missing persons came into the Sal
walton Army last year. Out of this
number The Salvation Army was sue
cessful in restoring over fifty per cent.
or nearly 1000 of the delinquents to
their homes and families. Husbands
and wives were reunited; lost, strayed
or stolen children were restored to
their parents and relatives, many of
whom had come to America and for
gotten to write home for several years,
were finally rejoined through the eff,
forts Of The Salvation Army.
In Baltimore not long ago. young
girl disappeared from her home. Her
parents kept a small shop and after
all Of their frantic efforts to locate her
failed, they applied to the Salvation
Army. Its Missing Friends Bureau
began operations and after eleven
months of absence that girl was re.
stored to her people.
Lured away on a promise Of mar
riage and a wonderful wedding jour.
ney, she was taken aboard a ship
bound for South America, and was dis
covered only when that ship locked
at a port in Argentine. There the
girl was taken from the man, who
needless to say, had not married her,
and i'll, destitute and wretched she
was cared for by the Salvationists and
later, when able to travel, was sent
home to her people to begin life again.
The methods used by the Salvation
Army to find these delinquents are
many and varied Sometimes an adj
yertisement inserted in the War Cry,
the Salvation Army's Weekly publica-
ton issued in most countries of tie
world, brings an old friend, former
employer or an old letter Sometimes
it takes years of painful searching,
but more times than not the search
has happy and successful ending.
Two weeks ago a girl in Baltimore
attempted suicide. One hundred and
fifty people called at the hospital to
inquire about her, thinking she might
prove to be missing daughter, wife
or sister.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward pre- tentative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
bCllaln's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the Least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack Of pneumonia when this rene
dy may be obtained for trife.-Ad-
vertisement.
