Public is Blamed
For Stage Nudity
Manager Says Limit Has
Been Reached-F,earS
For Morals

Paris, March 20.-Stage
nadity has limits which
France has now reached
out danger to the morals Of. the
nation, is the belief of Nj. An
tome, French actor and manager.
When interviewed, NJ. Antoine
confessed that personally he found
nude figures less. Objectionable
than hearing risque songs, such
as find favor in some British and
American vaudeville and musical
comedy houses.
This view of the situation has
evoked caustic comment from
such well known writers as Pierre
Brisson in the semiofficial Temps,
who asks: What more could be
done than is done today, such as
showing unclad young girls uns
der glaring light and multicolored
projectors? Perhaps Antoine is
right in calling our attention to
the danger of taking any further
liberties, for if things continue
! would like to know what we are
going to see twenty years hence.
But the public itself is not yet
saturated and keeps demanding
more audacity, and to satisfy
this taste each producer keeps on
bidding higher than his neigh
bors."
M. Brisson contends that the
danger does not lie in the larger
French theaters but in the great
number of small theaters seating
300 or 400, which have sprung
up in Paris since the war and are
making a speciality of so-called
comedies, in which suggestive
scenes are offered to mixed audi
ences including many women of
good character who are gradual
ly becoming so that they no long
er blush when art is submerged
in salaciousness.

Fredericksburg, March 2O.-Ths
magnificent new courthouse at
Stafford. used for the first time at
the March term of the court this
week, was spoken of by everyone
in complimentary terms. Inc
citizens of the county may well
take pride in the artistic and I'M
posing structure that graces the
county seat. The building is Co
lonial in type, built of red brick,
with six striking Doris columns
commanding the entrance, and Is
adorned with a characteristic bel
fry and weather vane, which adds
a finished touch to the effective
design. The two wings at the
rear are of neat lines. with pleas
ing formal entrances. An open
balustrade across the top of each
wing enhances the appearance and
harmonizes nicely with the lines
of the building.
The main assembly room Is
spacious and of well balanced pro
portions, being divided by a rail
ing which separates the attorneys
tables, the jury box, the clerks
stand and the judges bench,
which is elevated. To the rear
is the judges office and the petit
jury room, and above are sleep

TAKE SALTS If
STOMACH ISN'T
q ACTING RIGHT
Saws indigestion Results From
An Excess of HydrochlOric
ga Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather fer
ments. the same as food left in
the open air, says noted au-
thority. He also tells us that lndi-
gestiop is caused by Hyperacidity
meaning there is an excess OF
hydrochlorie acid in the stomach
whicfAmevents complete digestion
and starts food fermentation. Thus
everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours
in a can, forming acrid fluids and
gases Which initiate the stomach
like a toy balloon. Then we feel
heavy, iumpy misery in the chest;
we bslch up gas; we eructate sour
food or have heartburn, fiatulence,
water~braSh or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all di-
gestive aids and instead get from
any pharmacy four ounces of Jad
Salts and take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
and drink it while it is effervesc-
ing, and furthermore, to continue
this fer a week. While relief often
follows the first dose, it is i'm
portant to help neutralize the aci-
dity, remove the gaS-makirg mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus promote "a free flow
of pure digestive juices
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and Isl
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm
less salts is used for many stom-
ach disorders with excellent re-
sults.4Adv.

Winchester, Va, March 90
The "old-time country doctor soon
will be such a thing of the past
as the .dinosaur or dodo," accord
ing to Superintendent Arthur Slo-
maker. of the public schools of
Hampshire County, w. Va. He
was commenting on statement
made at a recent teachers meet
ing that "antitoxin will in most
cases immunize children against
dipthcria for life" and added that
IF true, this is sovereign boon
to suffering childhood"
Have you noticed how scarce
doctors are?" the superintendent
asked. within line roughly

tors, but the old-time county doc
tor soon will be such thing OF

More and more, he said, the
pedagogue must become the guard
ian Of the public health. and "pre-
vention of disease will soon be
looked upon as part of his

Thousands Flock
To Night Cafes
CBy United Prcss)

Berlin, March 20.-At least 5
900 runners and cappers" cif-
culato each night among Berlin's
sensation-hunting crowds, enticing
their victims into secret illegal
joints.
The industry of the secret 80
kale"-- seats Of Bcrlin's so-calleG
wicked" night life-draws at
least 100000 persons nightly to
eat of the forbidden fruit" OF
high-pri ed champagne, profteei
cover charges and rather disap-
pointing nude and near nude
dancers.
Police officials declare that most
of the frequenterS at these places
are foreigners and visiting Ger
mans from the provinces who are
tout for night" However,
many wealthy Berliners are found
in the crowds.
The expected sensation of these
underworld places is usually turn
ed into combination Of regret
at having been a victim, disgust
at the so-called artistic" dances
and anger at the profitcer prices.
Prices for "guests" run into
the equivalent of many dollars.
Champagne bought at 5000 marks
is sold for 10000 or more. The
management" has three sets of
wine lists and means-One for
the police, one for regular custo-
mers and another with far high
CT prices for the occasional vie
tim. Any effort to argue prices
with the walters results in the
guest being beaten, cut and
thrown into the street. The pro-
fits are so great that many own
ers retire with luxurious limou-
sines in short time.
The classic efforts Of the nude
dancers are ludicrous. The dane
ers pass plate and depend upon
contributions for their salary.
Police declare that the 'hard
times" in Germany have much to
do with the growth of might life"
Many of the owners ant managers
are cultured, educated people
who are diven to such extremes
by lack Of means of livelihood.
Many Of the runners" are people
who formerly would have scorned
the idea of such employment.
Police efforts to break up the
illegal joints meet with little Sue
cess. The secrecy surrounding
their whereabouts, their methods
of opening only twice or three
times a week, their moving about
from place to place and the great
of money their owners
have at their disposal to pay fines,
police tips and so forth, make |
1t almost impossible to eliminate
any appreciate number from the
city. !

State Leads in
.s,,s sweet Potatoes
Thirty Eight Per Cent Of
Nations Toothsome
Tubers From. Va.
Ry CARfER lW. WoRMLEY

Richmond, Va, March 2O.-Vir-
ginia is the largest shipper of
sweet potatoes among all the stat
es. according to statistics recently
compiled by the U. S. Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics for the
State Department If Agriculture.
During the iJ22-23 season to
February oath, Virginia had ship
ped 6,566 CHRIS, which lis SO PER
cent of the total shipments for
the, entire, country, to that date.
There is no other state that was
even close competitor in the
quality Shipped as New dorsey
the second largest shipper, only
had 1890 cars. % /, -
The Eastern Shore of Virginia
shipped $500 cars and the Nor
folk section 270. There are ,deO
bushels per car, so the total ship
ments from, Virginia have been
100000 bushels. The yield on
the Eastern Shore was, unusually
heavy during the past season, run
ming from $50 to 200 bushels per
acre, with an average of about
l1S0 bushels. 3 e. % .
The main shipping season on
the EASTERN Shore 'of Virginia
closed around Christmas. Ship
ments were so heavy that New
York City prices declined from
an average of $3.50 per barrel OF
three bushels in September to less
than $1.00 per barrel in Deem
Der. . Daring! the previous. season
sales were made generally at S.
to 81 per barrel. Growers wer,
so disheartened over the low pric-
es last fall that many potatoes
we're never. dug.
Because Of the large production
and the abundance of white po-
tatoes there hasT been mo brisk
demand for sweet potatoes and
markets have been rather, draggy
with comparatively small price
fuctu,.t ions. During the ,192l-2z
season there WAS a gradual rise
in price from September to March
FOR. thes 'jobbing prices in New
York opened 'at $f.65 to $50 per
bushel and reached $500 to $2.5u
in FEBRUARY. This season the
prices opened at Sl.1O to $1.5O
and dropped to $O.75 to Sl.25 in
February.
