Interest in the Stella Vitae health
campaign is becoming so intense all
over Texas that even the druggists
themselves are amazed at the results
already accomplished.
In San Antonio alone, it seems that
the Stella Vitae treatment and the
possibilities its success has opened
for a higher standard Of physical
perfection of women is the topic OF
conversation among all classes.
In statement issued yCstcrda, by
Wagner's Drug Store. popular de~u-
town druggists. it was disclosed that
the Stella Vitae campaign bas literally
taken the city by storm.

'Tn my opinion, however, the one
thing that has been so greatly instru-
mental in bringing about such a graft
flying situation and which has done so
much to gain the marked respect that
is manifested for the merit Of the
Stella Vitae treatment. is the broad,
sincere policy Of help to humanity
that has dominated this campaign.
When the Thatcher Laboratories
announced that no woman would b.
expected to lose the purchase price of
Stella Vitae if it failed TO bring re-
lief. thereby making it possible for
every suffering woman To find out
whether or not tho treatment could
restore her own health. then this
health movement was elevated To a
place far beyond its commercial limi-
tations and Stella Vitae became recOg-
nized as something vastly different
and far apart from the ordinary, every
| day panaceas.
There is not the slightest doubt
in my mind but that the Stella Vitae
progress until eventually this prepa.
ration will have permanent place on
the medicine shelf Of every family in
Texas and bring better health n
women in general and greater happi
ness TO the entire state"

Play Aimed at Unjust Law
To Be GiUen at BeIasco

beginning this afternoon, an un-
ID usual play. Driven" will be pre-
sented at the Shubert-Belasco Thea
ter for a week. The play is woven
around one Of the absurd laws against
women-a law still in existence in
many states today. In presenting
such a law in a vivid and dramatic
way, it is hoped that the public will
realize the injustice of such laws
and will insist that they be abolished.
Mrs Alice Barney has written and
is producing Driven" at the sug-
gestion Of the National Woman's s
Party At first she refused, since
she had announced that she would
do nothing more. but she was asked
SO urgently to dramatize one of the
laws that she felt a great deal of
good would result.
Mrs. Barney was amazed that there
still existed laws of such disgraceful
a nature as the one she has used for
the subject of her play. She has
shown UP the insidious workings of
such a law, and hopes that men and
women will realize. after seeing her
play, that such barbaric laws are an
Insult to mankind in this seemingly
progressive age.
