THE WONDERFUL
FRUIT MEDICINE.
"Frult-a-tIVes" Is The Only
Remedy madefrom Fruitjuices
MARVELLOUS RESULTS

The fact that "Fruit-a-tives" is the
only medicine in the world made
from fruit juices--that it is entirely
different from any other preparation
for the treatment of disease--is the
one big reason why 50 many people
are willing to give tia fair trial. They
have used dozens of other treatments
for Constipation, Liver and Kidney
Trouble; Headaches, rheumatism
and Neuralgia; Indigestion, Dyspepsia
Nervousness; Lack of Appetite, Poor
Blood, Skin Diseases and rundown
condition ofthe system. They realize
that they must have something diff
ferent from the ordinary remedies in
order to cure themselves.
"Fruit-a-tives" is different. It Is
the discovery of a physician, who
after long OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in transforming the juices of apples,
oranges, figs and prunes into an en-
tirely new compound. BY combining
these intensified fruit juices with
tones and antiseptics, he created a
new substance, which had all the
medicinal properties of fresh fruit,
but in q more efficient form. There
can be no substitute for "Fruit-a-
tiyes" because "Fruit-a-tives" is the
only medicine made from fruitjuices.

Columbia Bill Reverts
To Ancient Burlesque
s'Beef Trust Beauties Violates
Promise Of Promoters That
Vulgar Shows Shall Co

It has been possible in the last year
or two to recommend the burlesoue
productions at TIE Columbia Theater to
women and children and to others who
would ordinarily shudder at the
thought of entering burlesque house.
The Columbia Amusement Company
was carrying on a consistest campaign
to raise the standards of this type of
entertainments, to lift it from the
murk of the dark alley days, from the
shouts of the beer peddlers in the
aEsles, and from the Objectionable
'cooch' dancers to more respected
place in the field of amusement. Billy
Watson's "Beef Trust Beauties in
"krousemeger's Alley" yesterdays Of
fering at the Columbia, showed that
the campaign had suffered serious
relapse; that burlesque. as far as this
production was concerned, had Slipped
back so its odious ways.
When comedians find it necessary to
fling stuffed objects, representing dead
cats, across the stage to provide en-
tertainment; when the players attempt
to extract laughs by bringing one of
those objects into he presence of men
and women assembled at christening
party; when the producers make an
obvious appeal with a chorus of fat
women, it is time for the Columbia
Amusement Company to find out what
has happened to its plans to clean up
burlesque, The public has been led to
expect better things, and If Billy Wat
sons "Beef Trust Beauties" Is allowed
to continue without decided changes
and alterations, the public will be priv
ileged to suspect serious breach of
faith

Equity Players Discuss
Forming National TIleater
Francis Wilson Says Organiza.
ton Must BE ssOf and For
the peoule,s

The creation of national theater-
American drama by American drama
tists-was discussed yesterday at an
open meeting of the Equity Players, at
the Forty-eighth Street Theater, in
which prominent actors and actresses
took part
"Our vision, our hope," said Francis
Wilson, president of the organization,
SIS that the Equity Players shall be of
the people, by the people, for the peo-
pie. There are millions of people year
ly going in and out of the doors Of the
theater whose minds and morals are
greatly influenced by what they see and
hear, yet the public has no control
except by absence-over what is seen
and heard. We spend millions in
schools and colleges for the education
of our children up to adult age, but we
seem unwilling to spend a penny for
the control of the theater, which has a
powerful influence on people Of all
ages.
"The object of the commercial the
ater is to make money, irrespective of
the material it uses. The object of the
with regard for the material it pro-
duces and not to lose money in so do
ing. 1t rests with the public to uphold
the Equity Theater."
One of the ideals voiced by Mr.. Will
son was the production of American
plays by American authors, but he CON
ressed that time was an important fac
tor, as the native drama could not be
built in a season.
The first play of the Equitp Players
has not been determined. 1t is to be
selected from three that have been
chosen out of hundreds read by the
committee.
