Uncle Sam in the Theater Business

I- . r&r - i i

WASHINGTON -Viule Sam 1ms gone Into the theatrical business. The federal government has expended $350.00 in the construction of a model playhouse, and will simwhI thouHands of dollars more In producing plays annually. The playhouse was built to afford amusement to 4.000 inmates of the Government Hospital for the Insane, commonly called St. Ellrabeth's. The Institution Is the largest asylum of Its sort In the world. Specialists state that one of the greatest aids In curing Insanity or of alleviating Its sorrows Is amusement All of the lnrge insa: asylums of the world have regular diversions for the benefit of their patients. SL Elizabeths Is the only Insane asylum that has a theater. Heretofore the only amuse ents afforded the patients were athletic sports. In which only the more slightly demented were capable of taking partwalks thriugb the grounds or occa

sional drives about the adjoining country. All day long the large proportion of the patients stroil about the grounds In care of kaoprs ami in this uneventful way find their only recreation. Few enjoy lie drives, us the asylum busses are limited In capacity and number The new theater stands in the center of the large grounds and is d model In its style of architecture With a seating capacity ol 1.200. It is an idoal show house In every detail. The stago Is as large as that of any local playhouse; with a specially-designed set of scehery. commodious dressing rooms and complete olectrl-

cal appurtenances, it Is capable of staging practically any play, with tho exception of the mammoth productions. The orchestra floor ls level instead of graded. It ws constructed In this manner so that dances can be given. A stringed orchestra has been formed, likewise a glee club, so entertainments may be diver ued The regular theatricals will be given In the afternoons and evenings. During the morning hours a moving picture apparatus will afford amusement. From breakfast time jntll bedtime the doors of the unique house of amusement will be open.

TOUGH LUCK FOR BOTH,

FIVE millionaire United States senators will lay aside their togas at the close of the present sostslon of congross. There are others, of course, but these men are coi .picuous because of their great wealth Seantors doclnre that It will be the greatest change ai the membership of this Illustrious body that has taken place at one time since a senate first graced the country. In the early 70s there happened what was regarded as an upheaval, but solons with memories reaching far back through the country's history assort that the senate of the Sixty-second congress will break the record. In the departure of the five men of great wealth the senate will lose a very substantial block of members whose manifold ducats bave caused them to be known disrespectfully in

some circles as tho .Millionaires' Club." It Is true that a galaxy of seven-figure and a few elght-flgure statesmen remain, but the gaps made in their ranks by the. disappearing quintet will not bo tilled by as many men of as great prosperity among

the newcomers. With the passing of A Id rich Rhode Island). Hale Maine. Kenn l NewJersey . Depew tNew York), and Scott West Virginia, will disappear the personal leadership, tbe ultra -onservative spirit, the old-fashioned and close-corporation custom of the Senate. A Id rich and Hale have been senators for 3 years and both declined to be candidates for re-election For at least 10 years they have been important factors in all the great affairs or the nation dealt with by congress. Kean came in 12 years ago. which id not a long timo in the sorvlce of senators. Depew is nearing the end of his second terra and owing to the New York tidal wave he win have no cbaoce for another. Scott, another two-termer, was the bosom friend of the late Senator Hanna

I Star tells the story of a young minj Itter who had recently taken charge j of a small parish in Vermont. He j aspired to greater things and a large field, nnd in the hope that his reputa- ; tlon would travel beyond the limits of

the village to which he had been sent he threw Into his sermons all the force and eloquence at his command He was. however, totally unprepared for what was Intended for a compliment, but which was put to him In such a way that It left him In doubt as to the real Impression he had made. Ono Sunday morning, after an especially brilliant effort, he was greeted by an old lady, who was one of the most faithful attendants at all services. Approaching the young minister, she said: "Ah, sir. we do enjoy your sermons so much; they are so instructive. Do you bollere It. we never know what sin was until you came to the parish."

The average souvenir hunter baa little conscience when It comes to carrying away a small article of this kind which belongs to the government. In

No longer will It be necessary for the waiter to yell "Draw one" down an imitation silver tube. The order will be written in the restaurant room above and at the same time It will be reproduced by tho telautograph down where the chef ho!d3 sway. The telautograph, however. Is fastened down.

His Ruling Passion. The young man waited lor the millionaire s reply. "I don't blame you for wanting to marry my daughter," said the latter. "And now how much do you suppose you and she can worry along on?" The youth brightened up. "I I think." he cheerlully stammered, "thai $200.000 well invested, would produce a sufficient Income." The millionaire turned back to his papers. "Very well." he said. "1 will give you $100.000. providing you raise a similar amount." And the young man went away sorrowing.

Now About Clean

Anoth er vSp lein diel Opportunity to Bring' Out Facts

When tho "Weekly" which sued us for libel (because we publicly denounced them for an editorial attack on our claims) was searching for some "weak spot." they thought best to send a X. Y. Atty. to Rattle Creek, summoned 25 of our workmen and took their sworn statemeats before a Commissioner. Did we object? No. On tho contrary, we helped all we could, for tho opportunity was loo good to bo lost. Geo. Haines testified he Inspected tho wheat and barley, also floors and every part of tho factories to know thlng3 wore kept clean. That every 30 minutes a aamplo of tho products was taken and Inspected lo keep tho food up to standard nnd keep out any Impurities, also that it Is the duty of every man In the factorlos to sec that anything not right Is Immediately reported. Has bcon with tho Co. 10 years. Edward Young testified had been with Co. 1 years. Inspector, be nnd his men examined every uck and car of wheat and barley to sec they were up to standard and rejected many cars. H. K. Burt. Supt.. testified has been with Co. over 13 years. Bought only tho best grain obtainable. That the Co. kept a corps of men wbo do nothing but keep things clean, bright nnd polished. Testified that no Ingredient went Into GrapeNuts and Postum except those printed In tho advertising No possibility of any foreign things getting; into the foods ns most of the machinery Is kept clored. Asked If tho factory Is open to the publlr. said "yes" and "It took from two to three guides constantly to how visitors through the works " Said none of the processes wcro carried on behind closed doors. At this point pttys. for the "Weekly" tried to show the water Med was from Fome outside Fource. TcFtlfled the water camo from Co.'s own artesian wells and was pure.

Ho testified tho workmen were first-claf, high-grade and Inspected by tho Co.'s physician to bo sure they wcro all in proper physical condition: also testified that state reports showed that Co. pays better wages than the average and ho thought higher than any In tho state. F. B. Martin. Asst. Supt.. testified GrapeNuts made of wheat, barley, yeast and water. Anything else? "Xo. sir." Postum made of Wheat, Wheat Hran and New Orleans Molasses. Statements mado on his experience of about 10 years with Co. Testified bakers arc required to wear fresh white suits, changed every other day. Said had never known any of the products being sent out that wcro below the high standard of inspection. Asked if any one connected with tho Postum Co. had Instructed him how to testify. Said, "No. sir." Horace Brown testified has been with Co. 9 years. Worked In Grape-Nuts bake slop. Te'tlficd the whole, of tho Hour Is composed of Wheat and Harley. Altys. tried to confuse him. but he Insisted that any casual visitor could see that nothing else went Into the flour. Said machinery and floors nlways kopt clean. So these men wcro examined by tho "Weekly" lawyers hoping to find nt least one who would cay that fomo undcr-grado grain was put in or torpo unclean condition was found somewhere. But it was no ue. Each and every man testified to tho purity and cleanliness. As a tamplo, tako tho testimony of Luttor W. Mayo. Testified been with Company about 10 years. Vow working in tho bakery department making Grane-iits. Testified that tho ovens and Poors are lert rlonn and the raw products as they fo in nn kept clean. Also that the wearing pnnarrl of tho employes has to be changed three times a week.
