 Then, while they sit there eating their picnic lunch, let us run around the ends of the brook again." the bottle imp suggested.

PLENTY OF LEMONADE BERNHARDT'S SECRET OF CONTINUED HEALTH
interviewer Reviews Some Of The Life Philosophy Of
 Famous Actress
By FAY STEVENSON

Every great woman-every great man, too-leaves page of philosC- phy behind her before she passes on to the great beyond. The great Sa- : tah Bernhardt left her share of deep thought upon all subjects expressing ; freely her philosophy, concerning love careers, clothes, voice culture, beauty and how to preserve youth and health.
 In 1916. in an exclusive interview, :. she said: T was mother at 17 and : grandmother at AZ. pity women : who wait till they are 25 to become mothers. They deprive themselves :, women before their daughters are grown up" esttf
 Madam Bernhardt had her own theory in regard to women voting and taking an active part in political life. The temper of men and the temper of women are different" she said. "I feel it even in my audiences. The women are charming, but. after all they do little to create the com pact enthusiasm of a house. It is the men whom I feel chiefly responding to me and being drawn out of them the same difference would tell some- how.
 On Women in Politics.
 .'voting does not seem to me to be real politics. At any rate, 1t is not active and continuous participation In politics. Voting is small politi- cal matter. and might we'll be all lowed to women. But beyond that women do not need to go. The cabi- nets and Parliaments are just as well without them. Art, literature, drama, things in which women are needed at their. finest"
 On Longevity
 The divine Sarah's" secrets of longevity are many.
 East what you like, but with mod eration. Eat just enough tc' feel nour- ished-no more.
 Drink much water.
 Don't wear corsets.
 Rest as much as possible and as frequently as possible during the day.
 Don't worry.
 Forget unavoidable unpleasant nesses.
 Lead an active life. Love your work, throw all your '-heart and spirit into it, and rest by shifting from one kind of work to an other.
 Don't loaf"
 [. Lemonade might also be added to Mime. Bernhardt's health list. 'I drink much lemonade an% cham spagne," she said, and lem60ade is best of all for the health. They tell ,sme sometimes I have drunk of the fountain of perpetual youth. Believe me. that fountain is filled with lem onade. If you wish to be healthy and young eat lemons and work hard and say your prayers to the good God" On Cosmetics.
 When asked about her favorite To- tion, the most famous actress ex- elaimed Me! Lotion for the face. Indeed, no. Water, hot water, and

will grit her teeth and clench her fists and face the storm-that woman Is bound to get through to sunshine and a rainbow.
 she must surely realize her ann bitions sooner or later, and it can only be a question of time when she will reach that exquisite pinnacle where circumstances no longer con trol her and she has henceforth the upper hand.
 But will 1t not be easier for some than others she was asked. "The beautiful woman, for instance. will find success more quickly on the stage.'
 "No!" exclaimed Bernhardt. dis dainfully. What has that to do with greatness? Did beautiful face ever win a medal. except at a beauty show? Beauty is not an art! Indeed, I know of nc really great actor or actress who was noted for having pretty features. This is not an art art made great by what comes from within"
 On Voice Culture.
 Bernhardt's beautiful voice was one of her chief charms. and to the woman who would cultivate voice culture she says: "VGice is a charm whose subtlety adds to it's power. It does not matter how large or how small a world a woman sets out to conquer, her voice, with it's soft ca dences and fluctuations. will be one of her strongest weapons. To be pleasing woman must know how to use her voice. And to have a beau tiful voice she must also have great sense of proportion. By that I mean balance of mind, of matter, of senses, of passions, tf color, of touch and
 
 understanding, and having under stood, perfect adaptability." On YouthfuIness.
 Sarah Bernhardt had great faith in her Creator. More than once she has been found on her knees in the aisles of her sleeper saying her morning and evening prayers. And more than once she referred her youthfulness and vivacity to the powers above. If you wish to be healthy and young, eat lemons and work hard and say your prayers to the good God" she warns. And again. in referring to her remarkable youthfulness, she said: God makes me as I am and God keeps me so. I have my art. work, work, work. In work I take my greatest pleasure. It is a tonic delicious preventative of age. I sleep. I act There you have it all. In such atmosphere I have my daily being. God is good to me and through His goodness I remain young"

at least one other Jealous.
 If she steals something that is not wearing apparel, yet used as part of your street garb, such as an um brella, parasol. fur, handbag, etc, you will soon know luxury in all it's man fold delights.
 If she steals money from you, you will receive money. The smaller the amount the woman takes, the greater the amount you will receive.
 If she steals keepsake. or heir loom, or some other object you value very much because of it's associa- tions or because of the person who gave it to you, you will soon receive a proposal from an entirely unexpect- ed source. You will, while feeling highly flattered and quite pleased. reject this suitor, however.

Now you can fool a bottle imp most of the time, but you cannot fool him all the time. In that way the bottle imp is a good deal like the Geewhiliker ex- cept that the Gee whiliker does not have as many whis- kers.
 And so, when Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Betsy Bonnet String had fooled the bottle imp and the Gee whiliker by flying across the Giggling Brook upon the backs of Freddy and Freda and Florence Flying Squirrel, the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker sneak ed away into the woods very much ashamed.
 They sat a long time before they spoke to each other, then the bottle imp said, There must be some way of catch ing Betsy Bonnet String and making her shake her dough : nuts and cream puffs from her magic apron".'

MOTHERS
  l( Il MEN
THE MOTHER OF ALEXANDER

POPE
 A woman who, although she did not endow him with the genius that was his, did a great deal for him after his genius had brought him to the forefront of the social and liter ary world, was Edith Turner Pope, mother of the worlds greatest satir- fst, Alexander Pope.
 Edith Pope was a woman of little education, but she had in its place an infinite amount of common sense, a great deal of tact and unimpeach- abb good breeding. She was a wo- man of very good family, considerably higher in the social scale than her husband. who had been married be- fore, to woman of his own class. The fact that she was 40 might have influenced her to marry below her station. It is a great tribute to her high social instincts that she did not drop to the level of her hus- band, but rather lifted him up to hers.
 After her son had grown up and become famou: they were together a good deal. He cam. almost un- consciously. to depend on her tact an ddiplomacy to get him out of the unpleasant situations his own sharp tongue and biting wit were always getting him into. It was curing the historical quarrel between Pope and the famous Lady Mary Wertley Mon- tagu. that the latter declare d:
 Mrs. Pope appears to have much more sense than her son." And this sentiment was echoed all over Lon- don almost daily. Her social casa was unassailable. regardless of the class or station of her sons frnends she met them on equal footing. She was equally charming to and at home with fashionable ladies, fa- nous wits, amusing Bohemians. and she spent almost all of her time with her son and his companions.

ADJUSTMENTS
RAMS HEAD PLAYERS-"L'En.
fant Prodigue,"

An entertaining little excursion into
the realm Of pantomine is personally
conducted by the RAMS Head Players
at the playhouse of the organization on
18th street. This ancient form of
advertisement has a fixed and enduring
place in the history of the stage, and
while the older generation Of today has
pleasing recollections Of merriment and
acrobatic stunts as the inevitable ac-
compartment of programs of this class,
there Is perhaps even greater satisfac-
ton In viewing scenes of distinctly
dramatic character presented through
such a medium. Events Of that type
are to be found in "L,Enfant Prologue"
by Michel Carre Fills and Andre
Wormser, which is now offered at the
little playhouse.
Rams Head Players in 'LEnfant
Prologue" add another to their series
of excellent contributions. The story
of the youth who elopes with a vi
vaciouS miss and robs his parents to
provide the means; later is deserted
when the girl elopes with another,
returns home to find scant welcome
because of his offenSe, and finally is
forgiven az he departs for the war,
is made realistic in a trio of silent
scenes.
Robert Bell as LIE Jeune Pierrot
gives an excellent conception of the
as the elder Pierrot has the task of
creating what may be described as
a real character role and he does it
with skill. while in the steps of the
minuet with Nine. Pierrot. he sha res
"a realistic bit. The dances through
out express the moods of the persons
represented. and Josephine Hutchin-
son as Phrynette, in fetching cos
tunes. dances with skill and lends
variety to the picture. Leona Roberts
care of the mother for the erring
son, and Walter w Beck as the
baron. and William Arthur White as
the messenger complete the elements
of an interesting plot.
Katherine McClintock Ellis. at the
piano furnishes the background for
the players and with her sustained
accompaniment gives point to the
action of the piece. The stage set
tings are peculiarly appropriate.

HOWitZer Co. Wins
Continued from Pace One)

Captain Miller OF the 5th Infantry,
formerly adjutant of that regiment.
The preliminary inspection occupied
about two hours and the inspection of
the companies in the finals occupied
about the same time.
The Howitzer company was easily
the winner in the competition, the
inspecting officers declaring that they
had never seen company in either
the regulars or tho National Guard
carrying rcvolVers, that had
their equipment so nearly perfect as
this company. The competition among
the other companies was so keen
that after careful elaboration the
inspecting officers requested Col.
Bigelow to turn the men out again
on Monday for further inspection,
there being three companies scoring
within one-half a point of each 9TH
err. These companies are Co. A., of
Biddeford, Capt. Dewey command
ing; Co. G. of Waterville, Capt.
Foss commanding; and Co. L., of
Milo, Capt. Decker, commanding.
The winner of this inspection will
receive the second prize of a~silver
cup and $50 in cash.
The great surprise Of the ir1spec-
ton was the fact that the two COM
panies from Lewiston did not reach
the finals. These two companies
