The "Billboard" Pays
Tribute to Veteran
Actor H. Price Weber

H. Price Weber is to the dra
matte stage in New England what
r. I. Barnum was to the circus
world. In the same way that
Barnum fostered the big tent show
over all the globe so has Mr.. Web
Der fostered the drama in the north
east section of our country. For a
period OF forty, five years he made
annual tours throughout New Eng
land and many provinces in Canada.
ana his name has become almost a
household word in these parts.
Mr.. Weber is an Englishman.
born at Brixham, Devonshire. He
came to America in 1865. landing at
Halifax on April IA, the day Presi-
dent Lincoln was shot. His first
JOB was as printers apprentice. and
working alongside of him in those
days was the present Hon. w. s,
F1elding, Canadian Minister of FL
nance. But the printing business
neld no fascination for Mr.. Weber,
ana ne soon found his opportunuitv
before the footlights, eventually land
ing with the Boston Comedy Com
pany.
Upon the death of f. NJ. Leslie of
the Boston Museum. Mr.. Weber be-
came manager of the Boston Com
edy Company. From that time on
ne never lost a season or a perform
ance until the death In 1919 Of his
wife, Edwina Grey. who was said TO
be one of the best Lady Isabels OF
her time.
Clean drama has always been Mr..
Webber's ideal The plays he Of
fered to his audiences never con-
tanned anything Objectionable. Con-
sequently he gained the good will
and respect of everyone in the places
where he appeared.
MIR. Weber possesses a remark
/ able memory. and, because of this.
ne never required the services of an
advance agent. In each town that
ne visited he had a personal friend
who would take care of his billing
for him. Several of these personal
advance men" are today members Of
Parliament in Canada. The late
Alexander Graham Bell was one of
Mr.. Webber's staunch supporters.
| AIR. Bell had summer home IN Nova
| Scotia, where the Boston Comedy
Company would PLAY weeks reper-
toire during the summer months.
| Although Mr.. Weber has now re-
| tired to his home in Augusta. Me.
he is still active in directing college
| plays, pageants and ,ocal entertain
ments. He recently produced a
/ celebration for the Chamber of Com =
| merce of PawtuCiet. Il. L.. in which
| 500 women and children took part
| The affair was a huge success and
the newspapers bestowed high praise
on him. The Pawtucl:et Magazine
| subsequently published an article by
| Mr.. Weber. entitled "The Makers

ID. A. r. in Hundred
Year Old Skene Home

The charming home of Mrs. w
J. Skene at East Winthrop was the

Point In the pit from which the
clay for these bricks was dug il

John WadSwOrth. Jr., was drowned
The house is built partly of wood
ANA partly of brick because of the
different people contributing to the
rebuilding. Some gave bricks. some
lumber, some work. Later David
Eastman moved to the West and the
place came into the hands of the
Parlin Brothers. who began the
manufacturing of boots on this lot
in 1SiO. Near here was the tan

Help Kidneys
BY Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help NeutraIize lFri-
tatine Acids
A Boomerang

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
~irritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri-
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
in constant dread the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is dith-
Guilty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It
because they can't control urinatiOn.
While it is extremely annoying ard
sometimes very painful. this IS often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots OF soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no longer
are a source Of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs. which then act nor
NAL again.
Jad Salts IS inexpensive, and Is nnade
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
~conbiued with lithia. and IS used by
thousands of folks who are subject 70
urinary disorders caused BY acid irri-
tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects
whatever.
Here YOU have : pleasant, ~efferves-
! cent lithia-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
| BY ali means have your physician exam
re your kidneys at least twice a year,
