No longer sure of himself, the

From then on the act was
failure. He had two more
weeks routed, and he was again
playing second on each bill.
When the two weeks were up
he was dropped.
And it took Frankie Smith
exactly three years to get back
to the spot in which he had
been sitting securely when an
actor gave him advice.
Some four years ago, when
frankie was starring in
Broadway show, a note arrived
backstage for him. Tearing it
open. he found that it was
from the actor who had known
so much on that eventful day
in Cleveland.

told the story.

Smith wrote out a cneck for
$500 and placed it in an en-

following note:
Dear George: Here is the
$500 you request. A long time
ago you told me my material

Il think I'm pleasing intel

But there's no use talking
of that now. All I want to

Moved Up on Bill

The break came ard frankie
was placed second ON the bill in
a Keith house in New York. The
audience cheered him the first
day. On the second day Smith
found that the bill had been
shifted. He now had the feature
spot on the bill and did his act
next to closing.
The second week Smith was
elevated to feature billing and
was heralded as a new find. His
act, as he admits today, was
none too hot. 1t was the final
bit that made him a success
the bit with the heart interest.
Smith felt very proud of himself
which was certainly his right.
When the third week rolled
around young Smith had been
sent to Cleveland to headline
the bill out there. At the open
ing matinee a number of the
performers grouped themselves
in the wings to get flash at
the work of this youngster who
had reached the top in so very
short time.
Included among these per-
formers was a well-known actor
who was playing a limited
vaudeville engagement. Cynical
and caustic, he was none too
we'll liked around Broadway. He
watched young Smith work and
shook his head sadly.
Calls Him a Ham"
Smith was hit that after
noon; just as great hit as he
had been in New York. The
finale tied the audience into a
knot. Smith, flushed and happy,
took numerous bows and then
stepped off the stage.
In the wings he saw the actor.

Dairy on South Side Takes
Every PreCaution to
Protect Health.

Moral responsibility in the care
and preparation of food article
is great. Perhaps it has not been
realized so fully as it should have
been in past years, but it enters
largely into the business of food
purveyors now, and especially of
those who take on themselves the
milk supply of large city.
From this sense of responsibility
dairymen frequently go much far
Their than the legal requirements to
maintain the wholesomeness of the
food they furnish. For instance,
pasteurization is recognized gener-
ally as a necessity in milk supply,
but the modern dairyman goes far
beyond the simple heating of milk
this calls for in protecting the milk
from all sources of contamination.
A case in point is the L. H.
Weaver dairy, 1884 Madison avenue,
which supplies a large number of
customers in the territory lying
south of Washington street and
west of State avenue. Weaver takes
every precaution to see that his
patrons get wholesome milk and
butter.
This policy started with the build
ing of the plant a number of years
ago, when less attention ordinarily

was paid to sanitation than now is
the case. The plant was built so
that it is exposed on all sides to
sunlight, natures greatest purifier.
Interiorly every feature CT the
building lends itself to quick clean
ing and antiseptic precautions.
In practice, this goes much far
ther. Shower baths and lockers
are provided for all employees, who
wear clean uniforms.
Milk is tested on arrival at the
plant, and the latest form of pas
teurization is given all of it, under
an automatic thermostatic control
that assures a complete job. Milk
is bottled automatically, and the
benefits of pasteurization thereby
retained until it is delivered.
The plant is modern in every re-
Spect, the handling of the milk has
won admiration from authorities,
and the service is first class.
Thus the home maker can buy
Weaver milk with assurance, all too
rare in many food products, that
it is safe, that it has been handled
with scrupulous cleanliness, and
that in quality and wholesomeness
it is not exceeded.
Incidentally, those who want
fresh butter, made from well-han-
died cream and containing the
vitaminS that make butter so vaIu-
able, may obtain it from the Weaver
deliveries, which also sell butter
milk and cream.

BANK CAMP AICN
Gift IS DENIED
Contractors Story of Loan
to Help Smith Refuted.
By United Press

By OUttCu RTcSS
NEW YORK, March 21.-John j..
Raskob, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee. and Orie
L. Kelly, president of the County
Trust Company, have denied that
the bank contributed to Alfred E.
Smiths 1923 campaign fund.
RaSkob is a director of the bank;
Smith its board chairman, and the
late James j. Riordan, who killed
himself, was its president at the
time of his death.
The original charge was made in
connection with a defense against
a $4,000 note held by the bank, one
of several notes totaling $255,000
reported to be involved likewise.
Patrick F. Kenny, YonkerS
plumbing contractor, who signed
the note, and was sued by the bank
for nonpayment, claimed it repre-
sented contribution to the cam
paign fund by the bank.
He said he and several others
signed similar notes to get around
the law forbidding such a campaign
contribution by such an institution.
The note was Endorsed by Raskob.
Kenny claimed he was told by
the late Mr.. Riordan, then presi-
dent of the trust company. the notes
never would have to be paid.
There we're eight or nine of us
who were played for suckers and
I don't intend to keep on with that
role any longer" Kenny said. 1--WE
didn't ask for credit at the bank.
We were sent for by James j. Rior-
dan, in October, just before the
1925 election"
