LAUDER TO RETURN
Famous Entertainer viii Visit
Topeka Next Winter.
Date Of His Appearance Has
Not Been Arranged.

Sir Harry Lauder, the internationS
ally-famous entertainer, is coming
back to the United States in Septem-
Der with a bunch of new songs, ac-
cording to preliminary report: but it
is doubtful whether the newer song
transformations will win any greater
popularity than many of his old-time
offerings.
shes Ny Daisy" which has not
been heard in the United States for
several years. and which Lauder will
revive the coming season, stands in a
class alone among song characterize
lions. EaudeT's great vogue in this
country began with his rendition of
this unique ST ng.
81 Love a Lassie" is another Lauder
song that fingers in the memory of
any one who has ever heard 1t sung
in the Scottish minstrePS inimita bic
way. Altho ne has not sung it in the
United States for several seasons, the
records still serve to give it whistling
popularity, and O. nights the air of
many 2 quiet community is pune
tuated by the Hitting melody of
81 love a lassie. a bonnie, bonnie lassie;
She's as pure as the lily in the dell
She's sweet as the heather,
The bonnie. bonnie heather
Mary, ma Scotch BIuebell!'
To Revive Popular Songs.
1t will be good news to the Lauder
fans that the comedian will also re-
vive this popular song.
Another old favorite, ''Roamin' in
the Gloamin'.'' is also ripe for a re-
vival:
''Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie
banks o. Clyde,
Roman in the gloamin' WI my lassie by
my sidei
When the sun has gone to rest
That's the time that we love best
Oh, it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'!r
Among the new songs is a descrip-
tive ballad entitled Saturday Night -
which is said to have been received
with great favor by LADDERS London
audiences. and a cheer up song with
swinging chorus ending with the
line. rSinging is the thing to make
you cherry
Lauder. who is a Rotarian, has noti-
fed the Topeka club that he will be
in this city again this winter, tho the
date of his appearance here has not
been definitely settled.

toSses the Riddles a goodbye kiss, he
keeps them co1vulsed with laughter.
More Than Fun Making.
But Che Cho's mission is greater
than merely making fun. He teaches
the children what they must do and
must not do If they wish to have per-
feet health. But he is so utterly COM
ical and says things in such a funny
manner, that it keeps the boys and
as they never would be in anything
else. And for this very reason they
remember what he tells them and re-
gard him as such a friend that they
want to do what he tells them to just
TO please him.
Che Cho appears carrying a frying
pan a collection of vegetables and a
number of bells. He drops them I'll
once or oftener before he gets under
way When the children laugh he
observes whether or not their teeth
are pearly and white. Then he tells
them some things about brushing
teeth and caring for them Then he
takes them on an imaginary visit. to
the farm and with a crow like a
rooster and a moo like COW, explains
the necessity of lots of eggs and milk
in the daily diet, The waving oat
fields remind of good oatmeal we'll
cooked on the back of the stove for
three hours and the old well with the
glasses of water should be drunk each
day.
Urges Planting of Gardens
Holding up the vegetables, one by
one, he tells the Riddles whether they
are good or bad. Cucumbers. radishes,
pickles and pepper are among the
bad ones He warns them not to eat
pretty yellow bananas. but those with
dark streaks in them. He urges them
TO plant vegetable gardens
once Cho is sent out by the National
Child Health organization of New
York city. What he teaches he knows.
and he has been invaluable in i'm
proving the health of children in hum
dreds of communities. The childish
minds easily grasp his simple explana-
lions of good and bad things and the
childish memories retain them because
they retain his personality.
Cho Cho's talks will be given Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day in the cnildren'S pavilion during
the week of the big Free fair. Every
child in Topeka should hear Cho Che
and every parent should see to it that
their children have this opportunity.

IN GERMAN CITY
Frankfort Establishes Social
Center Where Men and Wo-
men Can Find Mates.
MANY MATRIMONIAL LADS"

BY KAHL II. Won WIEGAND.


BERLIN, March 25.-The city OF
. Frankfort, long known for it's pro.
gressive tendencies in municipal af.
fairs, is making a daring and unique
sociological venture.
1t has established a "house OF
confidence" as a social center fol-
young people of matrimonial aspi.
rations. 1t is an attempt to solve
the marriage problem.
Plan Not a New One.
The marriage problem is not new
one, despite the fact that it is made
70 appear so in the press and on the
lecture platform. So long as the
marriage institution has existed, sc
long has there been the marriage
problem, the only new phase in the
situation in Germany being due to
the unrest and uncertainty of pres
ent-day conditions and the fact that
the class of society which formerly
proceeded calmly and safely along
the path of married life now finds
= this path bristling with difficulties
. and dangers.
This is the great middle class, the
women of which have been left
stranded by the war and the deple
ton of the male material of the
world.
Thousands and thousands of girls
from this class in Germany have
their eyes turned longingly along
the great highway, waiting for the
approach of a suitor. Even should
ha
practically impossible for a newly
married couple from the middle
classes to establish a household, un.
less they are taken into the family
home. But the smallest farm house
in rural districts is more spacious
than the roomiest apartment at the
disposal of the middle class in the
cities.
Matrimonial Aids.
Housing scarcity and the high
price of living have practically pro-
hibited social intercourse, and no
other way remains than that of the
matrimonial bureaus and advertise.
ments in the classified columns of
the daily press.
Madgeburg attempted to solve the
problem by establishing an official
bureau for the purpose Of bringing
together two classes of social rem
nants," so to speak-war widows and
war invalids. The matter has now
been taken up by leading German
physicians who regard it as a ques.
ton of race conservation. But
Frankfort is the first city to take a
systematic step in this direction by
establishing a so-called House of
Confidence the purpose of which
Is to provide a social center and a
meeting place for young people with
matrimonial aspirations.
There has been tremendous re.

HAS ENTIRELY
DISAPPEARED

tractor of 81 East Third ST. Not
only does Mr.. Clemmer rank AL as
a builder. but he is also highly re-

citizen. Mr.. Clemmar had suffered
much annoyance from rheumatism
for year or more, and not being
able to find relief from other sources
he finally resortcG to Tanlac But let
HIM tell his own stony. Here is his
statement:
81 was suffering from rheumatism
so badly in my arm and shoulder
that / hardly move. / was in such
pain that it was almost impossible
for me to get anything done. It
had rendered me almost helpless and,
as nothing did me any good, | be-
came very much depressed.

Tan!ac a trial and | have been thank
full a thousand times that finally I
took her advice. After finished my
third bottle the rheumatism was gone
and while that has been a year ago
now I've never had the least trouble
since. | don't know what Tanlac
will do for others, but it certainly
did the work for me-"
