AMERICAN TENOR
SINGS FAUST"
The distinguishing characteristic
OF the Sesare Sodero production Of
Faust" last evening was the APP
pearance OF Justin Laurie, an Am-
erican tenor, in the title role. The
Anglp-Saxon singer only acquires
the complete emotional abandonment
necessary to realization of all the
possibilities Of a grand opera role
composed by and for the Latin tens
permanent after much singing of 1t.
and Mr.. Laurie has not yet had
that amount of singing OF Faust"
But he has the vocal equipment that
carried him through well and his in
depreciation of the great aria at the
beginning of the garden scene was
fine bit of singing. The big fea-
ture of the opera was the manner
in which Sodero had crowded so
much of the unforgettable music
L
man is certainly a genius in this
respect.
The Palace Theater feature that
closed the WRC evening was
equipped with a real program last
evening" very commendable effort
to give the feature variety and to
make the various parts of the en-
tertainment fit in and relate to each
other as far as possible. In that
respect it is to be commended.

Jimmy had decided that that kitch- en was an interesting place and he wanted to know more about 1t. He walked in and he walked right straight up to Mother Brown. He took her by surprise, and for a min- ute Mother Brown wished she hadn't invited him into the kitchen in the first place. Wisely she stood per- fectly still. As she said afterward, she was too frightened to do any thing else. Jimmy sniffed at her shoes, as if to make sure that this was the sort of friendly person he thought she was. Then he calmly began an inspection of the kitchen He inspected everything. By this time Mother Brown realized that Jimmy was indeed a friH1d. She hadn't the slightest fear. She chuckled.

There was no answer at first, and with a qualm at disturb ing the exhausted sleep of the girl, I made my summons louder until she finally answered it.
 "Oh, I'm so sorry, Auntie Madge," 7" she said, as she opened the door. q must have fallen asleep. Have you been knocking long?"
 "Oh, no,' I assured her, then l took the door from her hand and closed it.
 Mary, dear" I said. i've been thinking over what you told me this morning about Mrs. Baker, and l have decided that the sooner I issue an ultimatum to her about you, the better. There are reasons why I do not wish to go to her room. and. of course, it is too public downstairs in the living room. But Mrs. Bickett will not be in her room for the next half hour. so will you please go to Mrs. Baker and tell her that I'd like to see her in Mrs. Bickett's room for a few minutes. Tell her it is import ant business. Then come back to your own room, and leave the door between your room and Mrs. Bick- ett's slightly aiar. You will then be able to hear everything that is said, something which 1 wish you to do"
 With Lillian's speculations in mind, l watched Mary narrowly as I spoke. But was completely baffled by her demeanor. She displayed just the amount of startled reluctance 10 summon Mrs. Baker that I should have expected, if her revelation of the morning hal originated in her own fears. instead of being prompted by Mrs. Baker, as Lillian had sus- pected.

 Katherine's tone was worried, and I felt her wish repeated in my heart.
 Then I'll have a chance to slip up there and establish myself in the closet without her knowing it." Lil- lian said. Of course, the precaution is probably old woman nonsense, but I no likee that Baker female, and I'd like to be within leaping distance at least while Madge is talking to her."

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 Persons who complain of a sour taste in the mouth and of the eruc- tation of sour material are likely to think that they have what is called acid stomach.
 The scientific name is hyperacid- Iity, which merely means too much acid. The scientific diagnosis usu- ally refers to symptoms that include a burning feeling in the region of the stomach that comes on after eating. | Associated with this there may be nausea with perhaps the belching Of gas and acid fluid. In most instan- ces, physicians find there is seldom a real excess of acid in the stomach.
 Sometimes the difficulty lies in tho manner in which the stomach at tempts to dispose of the material that it contains, so that the juices of the stomach. which are normally acid, are carried back to a part of the stomach in which they should not be. In other words, the disturb ance is one of the motion of the stomach rather than of nature of it's sccreti0ns.
 Associated with this disturbance. therc may be a constriction or cramping of the passage from the stomach 10 the intestines. This con- striction may be the result of an in- lection. such as an ulcer or of some other serious condition which can. of course be determined only by a careful examination.
 This examination sometimes in cludes the taking of a mixture of milk and other substances which make the stomach opaque to the N-ray and permit the physician 10 watch its activities while in mott
 Fortunately only two out of abo,.. every twenty persons given a care iul examination for symptoms of this type are found to have serious con- dition of the stomach. In most in- stances tho treatment is dietic and results in early relief.
 The symptoms of hyperacidity are signals of trouble of which should be investigated carefully. Sometimes the trouble is constipation some times the difficulty is in the gall platter; sometimes the symptoms oc- cur from appendicitis or inflamma- tion of the intestines elsewhere.
 It has been said that when fire bell rings the fireman does not pour water on the fire bell; he recognizes the signal and goes where there is fire. When acid eructations occur the difficulty is not always with the acid.

Of course, Farmer Browns Boy was not at all afraid of Jimmy Skunk. He and Jimmy had been the best of friends for a long time. In fact, Farmer Browns Boy was on the best of terms with Jimmy's fam fly. He understood them, and you know understanding is the basis of true friendship. There can be no real friendship without understanding Farmer Brown was also on good terms with Jimmy and his family You see. Farmer Brown knew just how much help those little fellows in black-and-whit fur coats were to him on the farm. He knew that they helped to keep down the grass hoppers. He knew that they dug up hundreds of white grubs which de- stroy grass roots. He knew that they ate many other harmful insects, and that they caught mice, which are so destructive. But it took Mother Brown a long time to feel at all certain that these skunks were as friendly as they appeared to be. However, after they began dining nightly at the doorstep, and little later coming into the shed at the back of the house 10 get their food. her friendliness toward them grew rapidly.
 What do you suppose Jimmy Skunk would do if I should invite him into the house?" said Mother Brown.
 T think he would accept the in- vitation," replied Farmer Browns Boy. But I don't believe you dare do 1t, Mother"
 Mother Browns eyes twinkled, but she didn't say anything. and the subject was dropped. The following afternoon Farmer Brown and his boy drove to the village. They would not be back until late. Then it got time for Jimmy Skunk and his family to come for their supper Mother Brown stationed herself at the window to watch. By and by she saw Jimmy ambling across the dooryard. He was alone. For some reason or other the rest of the family were late. Mother Brown smiled. This just suited her. When Jimmy entered the open shed door he found the door to the kitchen open and Mother Brown standing in the doorway. Jimmy merely looked up, Then he picked up bit of meat, backed to the open door, where he turned and took the meat out on the doorstep to eat. Mother Brown stepped out into the shed, picked ub the plate Of food, took it back into the kitchen, where she spread newspaper and set the plate on this. Then she wait ed. Presently she heard Jimmy shuffling around in the shed. He was looking for that plate Of food. In moment his black head appear cd in the doorway,
 Come in, Jimmy" said Mother Brown. Come in. Your supper is waiting for you here" Jimmy stood in the doorway and looked about. Then, quite as if he were ac- customed to going into houses for his food, walked in and straight over to the plate. There he picked out the choicest bit, politely backed across the kitchen floor 10 the door of the shed, backed out through the sEed to the outside door, and there turned and went out on the door &tep to eat in his usual way. In a few minutes he was back again and then went through that same per formance. It tickled Mother Brown. II really was funny to see him back. back, back-always taking pains to face his hostess.
