Excavation for the new high school
building at Rockland is well under
way, and F. E. Sawyer of Augusta,
foreman for Charles E. Hoxie who
has the contract for the construction
work, arrived ready to start on the
foundation as soon as the weather
will permit. Mr.. Sawyer said that he
hoped to start pouring cement within
few days, in which case. with good
luck, he would begin laying up the
brick in two weeks. A bad feature
the necessity of continuing to hold
classes in the old structure until the
end of the school year. When asked
if he considered any saving was eff
fected by utilizing the old building in
the new structure, he stated that ne
did. II have built number of build
ings that were not one third the size
of this" he said, land they cost more
than this big one will. You will have
o dandy school here when this build
ing is completed. This building IS
simple to put up, and once the school
children are out of the way, it can
be put up very fast. With any tuck
at all, 1 expect to see the building
finished by Jan. l." Asked about the
labor question, Mr.. Sawyer said that
a large number Of men had already
applied for work, and he expressed a
desire for a large crew of masons
ready to lay the brick. once the roun-
dalton was completed.

Another thing that interested
me was that this lnocum was not tackled down.
Instead it seemed to be cemented, and literally
had to search to find where the seams were
joined. The edges disappeared under the
moulding round the walls

they were soft and quiet to step on But nv
real discovery came when cleaned those rooms.
"Why, it was the easiest thing in the world
What dust there was lay on the surface and
brushed right up. They were simply no trouble
at all to keep clean.
There is something else specially liked about
those floors. They had been waxed, and this had

PUZZLE-wHEN is AN INDIAN
NOT AN INDIAN AT ALL?

The Indian is rich by inheritance.
Sometimes the best advantage of
this inheritance is not taken. Chief
Blue Cloud and some other Indians
from q reservation are present at the
Palace the first half of tho week.
II the question is asked me. when
is an Indian not an Indian?" my
answer would be-: When he plays Jazz.
The chief has attempted to offer
something different by presenting an
Indian jazz orchestra. The time IS
coming when somebody is going to be
clever enough TO bring the Indian Of
tradition as well as history TO the
vaudeville stage. I admit that the
chief and his players are unique. but
4 also must confess that they are
juzzing up the atmosphere just as
we do.
The chief Is Just giving us a pattern
off OF the musical bargain counter Of
the day. There is a well of material
surrounding the Indian which has

with a running line OF talk or the
part Of Ward. Even at his advanced
years. Ward works through the en-
tire show as only a real trooper can.
Most of the comedy Of this show is

PlmpIy Skin and
Impure Blood Due
to a Torpid Liver
Blood Carries BOdy's POisOns.
Which Quickly Disflgure
the Complexion.

The liver is the body's wonderful
purifier. All of our blood passes
through the liver every Is minutes
for publication.
Everyone's blood is constantly poi
soned by body toxins formed in food
waste. When the liver becomes
weak. or torpid. it cannot fully per-
form its task of publication and our
systems are at once tainted by blood
toxins.
These are poisons that, II not de
stroyed by the liver, are carried di-
rect TO the skin and cause sallowness,
blotches, redness, eruptions and PIN
pies that disfgure the skin.
Doctors know It Is absolutely true
that a good complexion comes only
from within the body. Blood i'm
purttIes cannot be rubbed away with
creams or ointments.
Science also knows that the liver
the body's complexion maker-can-
not be regulated by drugs, but a safe
Nature substance has been discovered
which will act directly on the liver.
The discovery is purified OK gall.
Get from your druggist a package
of Dioxol. Each tablet contains ten
drops OF purified OK gall. In "a
hours the poison toxins will be re
moved. Your liver will be regulated
Blood publication will begin. Sallow
skin will clear. Pimples will pass
away, leaving the complexion clear
and soft. Skin improvement will be
so rapid that you will know you have
found the cause of an ugly COM
plexion. Dioxol tablets are harmless,
tasteless and cost less than two cents
each.-Advertisement.

Il Feet with melody in 'em thai
IL tap At the window of your i'm
ag.nation.
Those are the feet you will see in
perfected syncopated time in Eddie
Leonard's most valuable contribution
TO the American variety stage.
Leonard owns a pair of feet which
have stepped into the inner chambers
of every heart in this land. He has
surrounded himself with a bunch of
blackface banjo players and at least
a half dozen boys who w the fastest
feet in captivity.
AT Keith's yesterday afternoon Leon
ard ard his hot bunch Of melody ma
kers and steppers held the stage. The
years will not permit Eddie to be as
young as the boys he has with him,
but his spirit and feet are just as
young.
There is something about this new
Leonard act which is so spontaneous
and so lively that 1 was afraid for a
brief second that the act was going to
run away with this veteran. But 1
found out I had no cause for worry.
Leonard is a great Snowman. He al
ways gives his best and he gives it in
great measure.
Leonard has with i'm a lad by the
name Of Gus and a chap who dances
"Oh. Didn't 1t Rain" This rain"
dance just ties up this act in a reg
ular knot. Time and time again this
lad did the rain" step. He is a
young man with a dancing personality
which radiates heat. Never have I
seen his equal.
Tho banjo players. baujos all over
the stage in perfect harmony. They
recall memories of the old days and
jazz up that memory with the jazz of
today.
Above all this fast steppin' and
warm melody. Eddie Leonard towers
head ard shoulders above them all.
Here is an artist with a SOU of love
the kind of love that makes the whole
world happy.
I have seen many acts in vaudeville
the years that I have told you about
the theaters, but it remained for Ed
die Leonard to bring the real Yankee
act to vaudeville 1t is American and
it Is glorious.
BY the time you read this there
will be a constant line Of people be-
fore the box office. 1 know you want
TO see Leonard and his great bunch Of
men. The sooner you get your seats
the better off you viii be. This is not
a box office plug. because I know that
capacity is going to be the rule at
Keith's this week.
And there is a real bill of class
around Leonard. The Medini Trio do
some wonderful things on ladders,
Mae Francis knows how to sing a
song. Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston
revive pleasant memories in THE
Honeymoon House." Duel De Kerek-
jarto is a violinist of rare ability. He
brings the charm and the intelligence
of the concert stage to the variety
theater. A really great artist. Brown
