‘•THREE WISE FOOLS” TONIGHT. With all due respect to relativity theories, John Golden,, .theatrical producer, has evolved an idea that time and space will have to be destroyed betore the essence of laughter can possibly be removed from the type of comedy that the people want. He has a rare specimen in the very suecessmul comedy, ”3 Wise Fools”, ■which he will present at the Majestic Theatre, Ft. Wayne, ,t,o,night and tomorrow night. “No matter how serious the moral to be drawn from each story,” says

Direct the Distribution of Your Property Failure to set your house in order and to plan for the inevitable by making a will may impose unnecessary hardship upon your wife at a lime when sorrow makes her least able to endure any annoyance. It is a blemish on a man, who has been well esteemed all his life for his wisdom and discretion, to leave for his wife the settlement and management of a troubled estate. By making your will now and appointing this company as executor and trustee, you assure to your heirs the financial responsibility, training and experience of an institution skilled in estate and trust matters, and you make certain the proper carrying out of your expressed wishes.

“1 have gained thirty pounds since taking Tanlac and never felt better in my life than 1 do now. Mother says she hasn’t seen me looking so well since I was a girl,,” said Mrs. Elva Caulkins, 303 Blandina-St., Utica, N. Y. “For eighteen long years I suffered from stomach trouble and sluggish liver. ,and during ail that time 1 hardly knew what a well day was. As 1 almost starved myself trying to avoid indigestion. I fell off until I was hardly more than a shadow, and was so weak I was barely able to drag myself around the house. As a result of iny long suffering I became almost a nervous wreck. "This was the condition I was In when I started taking Tanlac, but today I am strong and well, feeling and looking like a different person from what I did a short time ago. It is no wonder to me that so many people praise Tanlac to the skies.'” Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith, Yager & Falk’s and by leading druggists everywhere.

MONROE NEWS “Safety First 7 the thre act comedy drama given by the Senior class of the Monroe high school last Saturday evening was one of the best productions ever put on the stage here and

was greeted by one of the largest ever seen on any occasion. Every inch of space was taken up, and many were turned away. The drama was well staged and every young man and lady in the cast were well qualified to render his or her part, and “Safety First" in its entirety was presented as though the entire cast of characters were professionals in that line of work. Promptly at 7:45 the ringing up of the curtain, and for nearly two hours the audience was interested in the play. Chester Kessler, as Jack Montgomery, "A Young Husband." carried out his part like an old veteran in the game, and created much laughter and merryment throughout the evening. Lynn Shirk, as Jerry Arnold, “As an unsuccessful fixer,” was always in a perplexed condition when attempting to get his friend Montgomery out of predicaments but always found himself in a snare. Edward Lehman, as Mr. McNutt, a detective.,” was well rendered and was found in many embarrasing situations. Sylvester Everhart, as flmer Flannel, ,in “Awfully Shrinking.," was full of comedy and was at all times in the matrimonial market to wed Zulcika, .the Turkish maiden. Everhart provoked many hearty laughs by his droll and awkward actions. Kirk Smith, as a Turk and father of Zuleika, carried out his part of a "Terrible Turk”, who was on the search of the kidnappers of his daughter, Francile Spuller, as Mabel Mont gomery, “Jack's Wife” who was continually worried over her young husbands waywardness and being easily led off by his friend Jerry Arnold, which landed them both in jail on a thirty day sentence. Louise Thomas, as “Virginia Bridger," the young sister, who filled her part with much credit and comforter to her much worried sister, Mabel. Bernice Nelson. Mrs. Barrington Bridger, “their mama” represented as mother-in-law in all it's details and gave strict orders to come home at once to live. Leota Smith, as “Zuleika" a tender Turkish maiden” in love with Elmer Flannel, who was supposed to have been kidnapped, represented her part well. Cecil Meyer, as Mary Ann O’Finnerty, “An Irish cook lady,” was well fitted for the character chosen and was comic as well as sentimental and was in love at all times. The entire cast of characters were excellent, and our people can compliment the young people for giving them an entertainment of such great merit which shows that the senior high school class of Monroe can and will do things, that will be of interest to the public in general. Last but not least we must mention the school orchestra, composed of ■ members of the various grades, under the direction of Prof. Bliss of Geneva, who has with persevereance and hard work attained the point in which he is now able to furnish some excellent music for all occasions concerning the school festivities. The selections furnished by the orchestra on Saturday evening were all well received and many were the comments heard as to the proficiency and ability which the young people of this musical organization have attained in so short a time. Prof. Bliss and members of the orchestra should be congratulated for the efficiency thus far reached under the leadership and direction of Prof. Bliss. The Junior class play will be given on April 7th at the school house additorium. Watch for announcements later. ,An “automobile hotel” 25 stories high, designed especially to help re|lieve the congestion caused by the increasing number of motor cars, is being considered in Chicago. The cars would be csyed for without being touched by hands, a girl operating the entire mechanism from a central switchboard. A similar “hotel" is being planned in New York and another in Cleveland.
