 irons the past few days. Tomorrow the
 bill changes and brings an entirely
 new bill of vaudeville, one that con-
 tains many features and acts of high
 class quality. To begin with. Lola Bravo and Co. open the bill with the
 romance of gypsying. Lawrence and

This fact frequently caused an enterprising col- lege man to start unique business of supply escorts. Whether or not this business was success no one knows. At any rate. 1t succeeded in providing the material for bright little skit of- fered by Henry and Moore that is call el Escorts Supplied" and with song and dialogue shows the demure little Miss. who would an escort have. an result, wedding bells.

THE FOOL AT PARSONS.

One of the most notable attractions
 in many years Is The Fool" by
 Charming Pollock. which will be pre-
 scented by the selwyns at Parsons the
 ater. Hartford, for one week begin
 ming Monday. Sept. 24.
 This play was a sensational dra-
 matlc triumph for more than a year in New York and during a run of six
 months in Boston. No new play in
 the early days of it's career ever be- fore swept the country with the same interest, and this occurred first before The Fool' was six months old, with the same Intense desire to see it con- tinuing. There Is hardly a town of any size that has not heard of The Fool" For months past, every the besieged with inquiries asking when this play would come their way.
 Now that The Fool" Is announced there is likely to be calls for seats to be reserved immediately. If any play can pack our theater. it should be The Fool" It has been an enigma for years among theatrical managers just why a single play that has never been seen outside of one of the big cities. should sweep through the air, as it were, of the entire community, as the one play that must not be and like an endless chain keep going on and on until it ulti- mately gets there. There may be a reason for this in the present instance. since The Fools" message is vital to everybody and penetrates the think ing mind as no other play has ever done. Thinking people cannot get | The Fool' out of their heads Hfter leaving the theater, and it may be that their subconscious minds are working on the receptive subcon- scious minds of others and so the | thought of "The Fool' Is carried | everywhere. Anyway. it is an inter- esting thing for some psychologist to | explain. Seats Friday

Your Breath
By DIR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON


 Offensive breath is not dangerous but it's extremely unpleasant and no very sociable. It can be prevented and cured.
 The causes are all well known The nose, mouth and digestive tract are the offenders. A good pleasing mouth wash used regularly and q gargle for the throat will afford ade. quate prevention in most cases.
 The teeth are frequently the cause of bad brath. Remove all food ma terial from your teeth by careful brushing and use of dental floss. Infection of the nasal sinuses, the nose and throat cause bad breath Certain types of catarrhal trouble are offensive.
 Careful treatment is necessary. if you have allowed dry" or chronic catarrh to affect you. :, Consult your physician without further delay. Pus-iniected tonsils also cause bad breath. Have them removed on your physicians advice.
 Diseases of the digestive organs cause bad breath. If you have coated tongue in the morning, your breath is offensive. The cause may be the result of diet which does not demand complete mastication and you overeat. Reverse peristalsis may oc- cur. This is backward contractile movement from the stomach or duo denum which will deposit the yellow coat from the bile" on the back of the tongue.
 Don't boil your food or wash it down with tea or coffee. Don't soak your food to avoid chewing You will rob your stomach Of the neces- sary saliva which is the first digestive aid. If gastric fermentation or con stipation troubles you, bad breath will result,

 I am so worried over Jack. Last night he did not come home to din- ner and 1t was very late when he came in.

 Because Jerry GNaffe didn't speak a single word in answer to Cuffy Bears remarks, Cuffy decided that he was fond of a practical joke.
 "You're trying to make me believe you haven't any tongue!'' he told Jer- ry Giraffe with smile. But l know better. I saw your tongue one day when you were enjoying your dinner. It's wh ,pping big one"
