KEITH'S-Dr Rockwell


Billed as THAT Devastating Nut"
DR.. Rockwell is headlining a splendid
pr. I'M this week at Keith's. He
s. one of the best monologiSts on the
American stage, and the half hour
he faced the large audience last night
was crowded every minute with hilari-
GUS laughter. The doctor has man.
Nerism that compels attention. The
laznestness with which he puts
forward his ridiculous technical argu-
ments keeps his hearers alert through
out the time he occupies. He is in
great demand in the vaudeville houses
and since last here the doctor has
covered the country from coast to
coast. His great hit when last here
has never been forgotten and the ad.
vance sale Of seats conclusively dem
onstrated that Kefth's patrons were
not going to miss him. After his
regular work the doctor appears in
one OF the upper boxes and adds a
great deal Of fun to the dancing act
Of the Merediths.
Another strong act is that of John
z. Murray and Vivian Oakland, as
sisted by Ernest P. Young. This
couple have been prominent in many
moving pictures and are capable
actors Their Songs and Satires"
embrace humorous filings at popular
mystery plays. winding up with
laughable burlesque on the Russian
drama. Murray is a clever comedian.
with original ideas. and Miss Oakland
adds to the act with her clever acting
and good looks. Many recalls finally
brought out a laughing speech from
Oakland.
One of the best dancing acts be-
fore the public Is that OF 1.-THE
Wright Dancers" featuring Helen
Pachaud. The pos;ngs Of the stars
and a half dozen pretty girls are un.
usually artistic. and their reception
could hardly have been more enthusi.
astic. Miss Pachaud is one Of our
cleyerest dancers, having original
movements that awaken the interest
Of the audience continuously while
she Is on the stage. Too much praise
cannot be given for the artistic dress
Eng of all the dancers.
To add diversity to the program,
the Gala RIMS put forward splen-
did musical turn and scored a most
emphatic hit. The man plays almost
every musical instrument. while his
sister gives him fine support. Hoff.
man and Lambert open the bill with
q clever juggling and singing act.
Miss Bobby Adams sang taking songs
in her own inimitable way and re-
ceived much applause. Frank Staf-
ford and company present pretty

house attractions filled in effectively.

know the individual case and prescribe
diet suitable to the particular need.
But the fact that distinguished.
responsible physicians have been
brought to experimenting with differ
ent tyes of diet in relation to it's eff
feet on epilepsy emphasizes the i'm
portance of diet in every disease.
The Investigators at the Post-Gradu-
ate Hospital tested the condition OF
the blood and spinal fluid of epileptic
sufferers. These Investigations have
covered a siX-yCar period. In all
cases they have discovered the exist
cnCe of a toxic compound. Since this
poisonous compound appeared 10 he
derived from some of the food prod
ucts. the investigators believed that
the epileptic condition might be cured
through special diet which would rem
der normal the processes of digestion,
absorption and utilization of the food
| taken.
Before these careful experiments II
was generally believed that eTileptic
| seizures were caused by severe de-
| rangement of the nervous system. AC-
| cording to present belief, the inveSti-
| eating physicians feel it reasonable to
| hope that special diet will make the

aIter they have reached maturity.
Ihls, together with neglect of active
outdoor exercise, results in ungainly
stoutness, especially about the lower
limbs.
Most overweights are connoisseurs
or good cooking. The idea of a. scanty
reducing diet appalls them. The habit
OF seif-indulgence at the table has such
strong hold upon many of them that
1t is virtually impossible to break it.
Yet their case is not so hopeless as it
seems.
The substitution of a. varied menu
or non-fattening foods for their usual
meals will gradually remove the ex-
cess Doundage without recourse to
starvation diet. Large quantities of
leafy and watery vegetables may be
eaten to satisfy the appetite. Small
portions of lheat or starchy vegetables
that are well masticated will be found
to appease hunger better than large
neipings or the same foods that are
eaten hurriedly. Slipping hot water
between meals is also helpful in allay-
ing the feeling of emptiness that
pothers those who give up the bad
habit of nibbling between meals.
1t is easier for the overweight with
a hearty appetite to be content with a
nsht breakfast and luncheon IL she
KNOWS that dinner will be a really
satisfying meal. Menus like the fol-
lowing will appease hunger without
beinr fattening:
Dinner No. 1-One cupful of clear
soup with three oyster crackers one
serving of lean meat, one cupful spin.
ach, one-quarter head Of lettuce with
one small tomato and little French
dressing, one helping of creamed
onions, two tablespoonfuls peas, two
stalks celery, fruit gelatin.
Dinner No. 2-One serving of veal
pie with a little crust, one small po-
tato, one cupful cole slaw, two table.
spoonf,als string beans, two table.
spoonfuls carrots and peas mixed, two
radishes, one-half cupful berries with
out sugar, one cupfyl clear tea or
coffee.

Diet in Epilepsy.

Experimentation for six years by
the department of neurology of the
Po Graduate Hospital in New York
City seems to substantiate the theory
that it may be possible TO cure cpl
lcpsy through the regulation of diet
and mode of living.
THE physicians wish to clarity in
the public mind" it is stated, the
difference between epilepsy proper,
hitherto considered an incurable con-
dition, which they are studying and
Jacksonian epilepsy, which is caused
by accident to me head. Commissions
are symptoms of Jacksonian epilepsy,
but this condition can be helped by
operations to relieve the brain pres
sure. The so-called epilepsy caused
by tumors on the brain can also be
cured by operations.
"The epilepsy which has been con-
sidered incurable occurs in all classes
of society, and is thought to be the
result of disordered. irregular living.
Improper eating, especially poor nu-
triton during childhood, is thought
to be a strong contributing cause"
OF course, a sufferer from this dread
disease will require personal medical
attention. His physician will have to

Cushions hold much the same rela-
ton to home furnishings that bags
do. to the costume. They are indis-
pensable accessories, and appear in a
myriad of styles. They are of unfail-
ing, interest to home makers.
IT Is with pleasure. therefore, that
! am calling your attention to a late
whim in cushion vogues, namely, ell
bowtcushions. These are small affairs
that are soft and comfortable. Thev
are not to be confused with the stanch
ana sturdy ornamented cushions that
lack all the cuddly quality of old
!time sofa pillows. Until recently cush-
ions were of downy softness. If they
were wanted to stand up stiff and
dignified, they were filled extra full of
feathers, but a luxurious softness was
IA characteristic. They were useful
accessories.
Decorative Cushions.
Today cushions, except elbow cush-
ions, are ornamental elements first
and foremost. They may or may not
be really soft. Since it is their func-
tion to add decoration, the first con-
sideration is their firmness. They
must hold their shape in order better
to display their particular ornamental
feature-perhaps an exquisite sfabric
with choice design. perhaps some
spray of flowers fastened at just the
blight angle, perhaps some bit of en-
broidery, the details of which must
not be lost in folds or creases.
Elbow cushions come as refresh
ing change from this type Of cushion.

Pork Chops en- Casserole.

One and a quarter cupfuls evapo-
rated milk, three-quarters cupfuI
water. six medium potatoes sliced, six
pork chops, one tablespoonful minced
parsley, one tablespoonful butter, salt
and pepper and little flour. Place
layer of sliced potatoes in we'll but
tered casserole, sprinkle with salt and
pepper, dredge slightly with flour,
dot with bits of butter, sprinkle with
parsley. Repeat until casserole is
about two-thirds full. Dilute milk
with water, bring to scalding point.
Pour just enough milk over potatoes
to cover wen. Place pork chops over
potatoes, cover and bake one hour.
Remove cover, season chops with salt
and pepper. Leave cover off and cook
until the chops are tender and nicely
Drowned on top.

That they emphasize downy softness
is therefore a notable fact. Another
is that they are for real use.
fhe covers may be exquisite in tex
ture and in color, and they should be
pleasing to the touch. They are ''cud-
die cushions" IS we'll as elbow cush-
ions; therefore they must be rather
small as we'll as soft. They are used
to slip under the elbow when ii rests
against a hard chair arm, to fit under
the elbow if a chair is large and there
is space to be filed in. They are used
to fit in the hollow of ones back or
under the head or at the back of the
neck. Wherever a cushion would add
a luxurious feeling, there the elbow
cushion is used. Because this is apt
to be under the elbow, the name 'el-
bow cushions" is applied TO them.
Shapes and Sizes.
AS for the shape, it is varied 1t
may be round and about half the size
of a regulation Cushion. 1t may be
triangular and small and stand perkily
in an angle of chair. 1t may be a
miniature bolster, rectangle. an oval
or Of some picturesque shape, simu-
lating an animal, for instance, or a
flower.
Luxurious Vogue.
Elbow cushions add luxury to seats
and. are a distinct vogue. Any home
maker can make them. One large
pillow can be transformed into two,
or possibly three, such comfortable
household accessories.
