EXCELLENT SHOW TONIGHT

The play last night at the Liberty proved to be far better than expect ed from the title. In fact we be- lieve it to be as fine melodrama as we have ever seen.It is far ahead Of the usual Paris underworld story. The settings and arrangements are perfect, and the acting superb Lou Tellegen proves himself character actor second to none. It starts off with thrill and keeps them up to tense finish. It is said it was worth seeing even without the two reel comedy and the interesting Pathe review.

Variations of MayOnnaise Dressing
Why so many people erve plain

one of the unsolved mysteries of
habit. 1t takes only the addition
OF Y cup of chilli sauce to a. cup of

Other variations that give snap

Some Hints for Swimmers

TNHERE is no season Of the year
when you may not swim the
sea, lake or river some place in
the United States.
But while nearly every one en-.
joys swimming. a few realize that
there are certain risks to health
in this sport, besides the danger
Of drowning and of catching cold.
One of the most frequent is ear
trouble:
When water gets into the ex.
ternal ear, which means as far
down as the drum. it causes a
highly disagreeable sensation, but
is fairly easy to get out again.

COME call him "ole self-reliance."
~ And even though they admire
him for the quality by which they
have nicknamed him they criticize
him q. little.
For they seem to believe one so
sure of himself cannot help being
obstinate and self.opinlonated.
But others who know him very
well indeed understand that he
is neither obstinate nor self.
opinionated. They remember a
time when he wasn't self.reliant;
when he was a very clinging vine
of a man wavering this way and
that and full of doubt about every
thing connected with himself.
Then something happened-per.
haps it was no more than chance
word coming his way-which made
him see that self.reliance can be
cultivated
He was fearful at first: he knew
a few whom he might observe and
be guided by; persons who had the
quality he lacked. But he was
afraid il he followed in their habit
Of thought he might become little
more than shadow of them and
that his beliefs and opinions
wouldn't be his own at all but
echoes Of theirs.
But this thought suggested he
needn't accept their beliefs and
opinions - only the method in
which they were acquired and
handled.
Still later he grew to under.
stand such discrimination must be
exercised over everything coming
to him from any source, that the
first requisite of self-reliance Is to
be sure exactly what it may &C.
cept for itself and what it must
reject as Of no consequence.
And very shortly he found he
