races' first OPERRPLEftSES Percy Hemus and Cast Present ‘The Impressario.’ The first entertainment endeavor at the Federation of Public School Teachers, "The Impressario,” a one-act comic opera by Mozart, which was presented last evening In Caleb Mills Hall by Percy Hemus and fellow artists, was a distinct success. It is a Wade Hinshaw production and Mr. Hemus was surrounded with a thoroughly able supporting cast. Aside from haring a pleasing voice with a wide range, which enables him to sing several bass passages, although he is rightly a baritone, Mr. Hemus possesses an unusual amount of ability as a comedian, so that he was easily the favorite with the audience. The two soprano parts were satisfactorily taken by Miss Hazel Huntington and Miss Lattice Howell. The latter’s pleasing personality and stage appearance adds much to a sweet but not overly strong voice. Miss Huntington is more finished both as an actress and a 6inger. Thomas C. Granahan, tenor, a* Mozart, acquitted himself well, although evidently suffering greatly from a cold. Frances Tyler, baritone, played Philip, the nephew of the impressario. The pianist. Miss Gladys Craven, also sang several lines, both piano and voice aiding the production effectively. The large audience would have been more appreciative, no doubt, if it had been in its seats when the old custom of three raps on the floor raised the curtain. People continued to arrive throughout the first half of the first scene. Probably at the next attempt of the federation this nuisance will be eliminated through a correct announcing of the hour. V.

You Can Reduce The answer of most fat people is that it is too hard, too troublesome and too dangerous to lorce the weight down. Marmola Prescription Tablets overcome all theta difficulties. They are absolutely harmless. entail no dieting or exercise, and hare the added advantage of cheapness. A rasa is sold at one dollar by all druggists tha | world over, or send the price direct to the Marmola Cos.. 4612 Woodward Ave, Dai trott. Mich. Now that you know this, you have no excuse for being fat. but can raduce steadily and easily without going through long sieges of tiresome exercise and starvation diet or fear of bad effects. [ —Advertisement. DRINK WATER WHEN KIDNEYSHURT YOU When you wake up with backache ana dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a wellknown authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good reliable phy- ! sician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.

Modern Romeos Spend Little Time in Courting

LOVE and courtship follow the modem tendency to swiftness. Not infrequently marriage follows the first meeting by only a few months, sometimes a few weeks. One girl reader of my column is impatient because a man with whom she has kept “steady company” for four months has never spoken of love. She is part of the “fast” age. I wonder what she would have thought ' of the slow, formal courtships of her great-grandmother’s day. And I wonder what her great-grandmother would think of the swift courtships of the twentieth century. Keeps Her Guessing Dear Miss Lee: I have been keeping steady company with a wonderful young man whom I love very dearly and who I think cares for me, but who uevei says unit he loves tne or ever talks of such (though lam not for.d of “mushy” talk.) He keeps me guessing. Although he did not ask mo for steady company, he always makes dates regularly. It has been about four months since wo started to keep steady company. Now what would you say of him? Please advise me what to do. MRS. B. E. Don’t be in a hurry, Miss B. E. Four months is not such a long time. Perhaps the young man does not believe in telling a girl he loves her until he is ready to marry her, and perhaps this man is not ready to get married. So I should advise you not to do anything except to continue the friendship. MARY JANE: lam very sorry, but I could not put your letter in my column, as it is against one of the rules of the column. Easily Peeved Dear Miss Lee: I have been going with a young man five years my senior. He has taken me to dan.-ea and theaters and has always treated me with the greatest respect. But lately ho acts so strangely If everything does not suit him. He becomes sulky, puts on his hat and coat and leaves without saying good night or when he is coming again. I am growing tired of this. He expects to find me at homo any time he makes up his mind to call and for me not to have dates with any one else. DOUBTFUL. I should think you might grow tired of the man's actions. My advice, if you wish to continue the friendship at all, is not to be there whenever he calls, and not to give up engagements with other men. It won’t hurt to take him down a peg or two, if that can be done. And if he stops coming, altogether, I cannot see that you will be much worse off. Proper Things to Do BROWN EYES: 1. The boy should hold his own hat during a show. 2. It is inconsiderate to one’s neighbor’s to carry on a conversation in a theater, except between acts. A comment once in a while, in a very low voice. Is not annoying. 3. It Is “proper” to kiss a man only after you are engaged to him. 4. Hnw to refuse a kiss depends on the way for which it is asked. The best rule is to do it so the boy knows you mean it. 5. If the man and girl a.re not engaged, or nearly so, she would be presumptions to ask him to take her to a particular show, unless he asks for suggestions. 6. Again, unless a girl is engaged, it is best for her to let the man select her present without any suggestions, even though he ask for them. 7. The girl should tell tho man what she prefers and let him give the order to the waiter. However, modern custom makes it correct for

Nice Teeth Combat that film if you seek that supreme charm

A few years ago, beautiful teeth were seen less often than now. Now millions show them. You see them everywhere. People are combating film. Tooth troubles were almost universal. Now people combat the cause in a scientific way. Won’t you now learn what brought that change about? Film—the enemy Film Is the great tooth enemy —that viscous film you feeL It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. It absorbs stains, then forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on film. That’s why teeth lose their luster.

Martha Lee’s Advice

the girl to order directly. She may ask the man to order for her, if she wishes to do so. 8. It is all right for the girl to ask the man to call again. If it is not after 11 she may ask him into the house for a little while. The girl should tell the man she has enjoyed the evening. 9. “May I have the next dance?” is the proper form for the man. The girl either says yes, he may have it, or that she is sorry, but it is taken. 10. Olives should be taken in the fingers. AMBITIOUS: You show a commendable wifely ambition to help your husband. The Junior League Exchange, above the Circle Flower Shop, probably could use some of your articles. You may be able to find a market among your own acquaintance and neighbors. The corner grocery might be able to use the "dainties’' and downtown stores might buy some of the embroidery. If you can sell directly to your customers, your profit will be greater than if you sell to a store. Party Decorations BILLIE: No party decorative scheme Is prettier than flowers. You might use a color scheme of red and white, with red roses tied with white tul'e. Another pretty scheme is pink and green, using pink roses tied with pale green tulle. Salad and sandwiches, with cake and ice cream make a delectable luncheon; (fr salad, sandwiches and coffee or hot chocolate. Invite as many guests as you want or can entertain. ROY S.: Roy. you should not try to win the love of a 16-year-old girl. She is too young to know whom she does love. Just keep her friendship new, and wait for love to come in about three or four years. You should not have let her think you were going to give her a gift and then not give her one. Wants to Elope Dear Miss Lee; l am 18 ami in love with a man of 21. i am to marry htm in April, but my mother and father do not approve ol the marriage It must be because they tit n't like tho man personally. He lias no bad habits and i a very nice young man. Wo have thought of eloping, thinking that by the time my parents would be reconciled. Biease give me some advice. PEGGY G. Possibly your parents do not like the idea of your marrying so young. Do not elope. Instead, find out what objections your parents have to the marriage. Then you will know how to overcome these objections, If they are not well founded. ANXIOUS—If I were you, I should do nothing about this man’s friendship. He seemed to realize that the eleven years' difference in your ages always would come between you. So it was best that, your friendship should end as it did. without growing into love. Difference of age does not always come between a man and a woman, but It may cause much unhappiness. 200 PENNIES TAKEN J. L. Todd. 366 W.

A revolver valued at S3O, a ring valued at SB, neckties valued at $4 and p. bank containing 200 pennies are missing, belonging to Mrs. Todd.

Film holds food substance wlJch ferments and forms acids. It holds the acids in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. That’s how tooth troubles come. The new methods Now we daily fight that film. Dental science, after long research, found two effective ways. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, without any harmful scouring. Able authorities proved those methods. Then a new-type tooth paste was created, based on modern research. Those two great film combatants were embodied in it

That tooth paste is called Pepsodent. Careful people of some 50 nations now employ it, largely by dental advice. Night and day Pepsodent also multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize mouth acids as they form. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits which may otherwise ferment and form acids. Thus it gives manifold power to these natural agents which night and day fight acids—the cause of tooth decay. You’ll welcome it Pepsodent will delight you. Note how clean the teeth feel after using.
