REMOVAL OF BRAINS DOES'flUTOP LIFE Scientists Remove Cerebral Hemispheres from Dog Which Lives.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. A series of experiments of unusual interest has been carried on in Germany within the last few years by Rothman. Early In 1907 be removed by operation the left half of a dog's brain, and two years later completed the operation by cutting out the right hemisphere. This animal with its entire cerebrum eliminated, was shown at a medical conference in Berlin. It then presented the appearance of a normal dog, "eating and running about." It can neither see, hear nor smell, and is subject to peculiar fits of causeless rage, during which it barks. This dog, then, has lived two years without any cerebral hemispheres, and while at present very much of an imbecile, even from the canine viewpoint, its brainlessness has not prevented it from living some of the normal dog life. Dr. Roth man's dog Is the first animal above the birds in which life has been preserved for any length of time after the complete removal of the fore brain. The case proves that the brain In an animal as high as the dog Is not essential to life. Detailed study of its habits has no doubt furnished much Important data regarding cerebral function which can be utilised In working out the functioning of the human - brain. It does not ' indicate that a human being could get along without his cerebral hemispheres, even though they were removed without disturbing the rest of the machinery, but It does- throw much light apon the general subject of the brain. LATEST DISCOVERY The latest discovery In domestic 'science is the remarkable new system of cooking brought out by M. Nicholas Soyer, chef of the celebrated Brooks' ( Club, of London, England, known as "Cooking in Paper Bags." It Is claimed that the system is labor-saving, doing away with the washing u pots and pans; that it keeps the smell of caking from pervading the house; that it makes every dish more savory and nutritious than is possible with the pot-and-pan system of cooking; that It is economical, the food weighing practically the same when drawn from, as when put In, the oven; that it makes possible hygienic cooking, no germ-ladt-n cooking utensils being employed, and that it means quicker cooking, lower fuel bills as a consequence, and, because of better cooking, better health. THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is exploiting the system in great detail and announces a series of descriptive articles and practical recipes, by the "jw system, to run every day for a period of two months. The subject is of course, of the most practical in terest to every nousenoiy. uur women readers can get THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS from W. G. Redrow. Phone 2238. IOLA LODGE K. OF P.

HO EXCUSE FOR BAD MAIMERS HI THE THEATER

Just Because You Pay for Your Ticket, You Needn't Think Yourself Privileged to Come in Late Murat Theater Too Big.

BY E8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. And she said "We paid just as much for our seats as you did for yours." "Then I wish you would please take them." This Is a bit of repartee heard recently at the theater. To be exact at the Gennett where one of the best plays Been here this season was in progress. The act. indeed was well on when a party of late theater-goers filed in in front of a man and his wife who rarely go out to the play and were prepared to enjoy themselves in consequence. The curtain had gone up and the preliminaries, so necessary to the understanding of the subsequent action, were "being begun" when the party just mentioned came in. Great banging of seats, much continuous standing up, tremendous removing of coats and wraps, putting of hats under seats, feeling around for hat pins for the removal of huge chapeaus, getting up to hunt for things that had slipped on the floor, reseatings and runnings of fingers through hair, great commenting on extraneous matters relative to things that had happened not within the memory of anybody sitting near, all punctuated with tee-hee-ings and ha-ha-ings. Expostulations from the rear, from which vantage the stage was wholly obscured, resulted in the exchange of amenities recorded above. This Is a form of bad manners that is prevalent in many American theaters and is practiced by otherwise well bred and well intentioned people. There is no reason why theater-goers should not be in their seats at the rise , of the curtain in a town the size of Richmond, especially at a quarter after eight. If they are not, the management of the play house should not permit them to take their seats until the beginning of the next act. Half of the first acts of recent plays presented here have been spoiled and rendered unmeaning to those who were in their seats before the rise of the curtain by the inconsiderate ones who came in late. The cool insolence of the late-comers who assume that just because they have paid for their seats, as they succinctly remarked in the case referred to, they have a right to annoy everybody or anybody else who may or may not have exchanged the coin of the realm for the encouragement of dramatic art and if there are any present who haven't they will now have the opportunity of leaving before extreme unction is administered is one of the curious manifestations of the contrari(y of the human animal. But, says somebody or other, if you're a dead-head what then? You havn't any right to complain. You ought to be grateful for standing room only. So far as dead-heads are concerned oh well! But this is not about dead-heads! 1 In passing lightly on, it might be remarked, however, that this class does not, as some mistakenly think, represent unearned increment. Every dead-head, unbelievable as it may seem, points a business moral, and, indeed, may adorn his seat behind a post. Who can tell? He might even be an example which many worthy ushers strive to emulate. To return to the peculiar manners and habits of the frequenters of the play-house, the exchanger of repartee also commented upon the insane and inexplicable way people have of preparing for the final leave taking before the end of the last act appeared round the corner. In the above mentioned celebrated vase of "bought our seats as well as you did" the party began elaborate preparations for departure about the middle of the last act and those in the immediate environment were again barred from a vision of the doings on the stage, so that, the lady in question said, she was neither in at the start or the death.

, The evening had been spoiled. Distances are not so vast in this near-metropolis that persons who might be left standing lamenting on corners by our rapid-fire street-cars could not walk. But the truth is. that bad as the old street-cars are, you can generally, by herculean sprinting, catch one after the theater. Certainly there should be some rule which would permit those who want to see the end of a play to do so undisturbed. If the hunters of goloshes under seats and the pinners on of hats could be all herded together at a given point and the others massed harmoniously it might help some. This is, however, a mere suggestion, made without malice and to fill up space. But some solution should be offered. Would it be well also to call attention to the thirsty ones who repair to the near-by hostelries for liquid refreshment? Or would it be regarded as an assault upon intrenched privilege? Be that as it may if these seekers after mental and gastronomic stimulant could all be placed at the ends where they could unobtrusively ooze out at that half and half moment when the curtain has not yet hit the floor and the lights not yet flashed on, much physical pedal suffering on the part of the squeezees, with consequent mental anguish induced by an effort to appear as though nothing had happened and to repress any expressions of unchristian, if justifiable character, would be avoided. While it is true that all people do not care to sit out the repertoire of ancient classics sometimes heard between acts at the play-house, and indeed, may be driven to seek fluid consolation for this or other equally inexcusable reason, otherwhere, there are still others who prefer to repose stodgily between curtains, and therefore, some system should be devised whereby all would be able to enjoy themselves with that degree of comfort which is the right of every person who has bought a ticket to the play-house. This does not include the deadheads, who sitting uneasily, disconsolately and, even, profanely, behind posts deserve nothing more than to have their feet as well as their feelings trampled on by the low-brows who are consumed with a desire to drown their thirst in its liquid affinity. This all mvolves a vital question that should be given careful consideration by those- who have the shaping of the fortunes of theater-goers in their hands. There are, also, those kind persons who have seen the play before and seek to explain it to those seated nearby. "Now, you see, he comes in a Mttle later when she finds her husband kissing the maid and he says you understand the situation of course while he is kissing the maid and his wife comes in why no I said HE came in while her husband was kissing the maid certainly not! I did'nt say she came in well, as I was saying, when he came in and found his wife I mean you can't understand it at all! I said when he came in " This person is related by ties of blood and affection to the one who plats it out after it has all happened. Who pokes you violently in the side

and repeats the joke you laughed at before he knew it had passed, who howlingly tells you the point with the tears streaming down his face and when you smile ghastily says "Coming In on a freight?" and gives you to understand you have no sense of humor and regards you pityingly throughout the evening.

The Murat theater, in Indianapolis, is reearded as one of the most nerfect in the country and is, without ques-j tion, a beautiful and satisfying interior. It is, howeVer, to the notion of the writer, too deep in its auditorium and, altogether, too big. Smaller theaters are not alone the most practicable, but they also lend themselves more readily to realism in presentation. Theaters like the Murat have stages in proportion and the latter are too big to give an illusion of an ordinary house interior. In "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," in instance, the extreme width of the stage had to be minimized by the placing of scenic appurtenances far down the stage so that the room gave a curious impression of elongation. Smaller theaters are, indeed, much more comfortable in every way, that is from the standpoint of their raison d'etre the presentation of a play which is expected to give the illusion of reality. The Theaters "THE SQUAW MAN." A good many sins have been committed in the name of the English nobility but the tea drinking on the terrace before "Maudesly Towers, English country home of the Earl of Kerhill," at the Gennett last evening in a presentation of "The Squaw Man" was a crime. The facade of Maudesly Towers should be stored in the loft and put out of its misery.

William Faversham but it was hardly fair to have earls and other noble incunabula seated on benches that had the general appearance of having been borrowed for the evening from Glen Miller or the Country club. Otherwise the mise en scene of this particular presentment of the play was convincing enough. Illusions of Arizona are more easily effected than castles in Spain because the great thing is to produce a general air of

desolation with a little sage-brush in the offing and a cactus plant in the middle distance. With a stage In- ; dian or two and a few murderous looking cowboys, all in readiness to start a "rough-house" you are in condition for the spot-light. However, it is the truth that the performance of "The Squaw Man" given here was a creditable one, barring the poverty of scenic accessories and clothes that hung taut in the first act, and a tendency to lachrymoseness on the part of the Squaw Man himself who signed for Piccadilly in the very heart of Richmond. Even in Arizona men who marry outside their race-class are relegated to the limbo of social ostracism so what will you in the denser white belts? Notwithstanding a certain propaganda it's fatal to marry out of your class. Or to marry at all. But this last is by the question. The story is more or less familiar to the public the young English army officer, honorably in love with his cousin's wife, the former the Earl of Kerhill, who, it develops in the first act, has used funds for charitable institutions placed in his care, with which to speculate and lost. They always lose in real life and on the stage. On the latter, however thsre is noble "James" later "Jim" of the sage-brush to step in and save the honor of the family and the girl he has always loved, by pretending that he "dene it," exiles himself to Arizona, where he gets mixed up with the life of the country, marries an Indian girl who saves his life, is notified in the course of time that the noble Earl has died and confessed all, but refuses to return to England and SB CREAM TO WHIP H.

cure of these CHRONIC and. DEEP 8EATED DISEASES. Therefore we have, for years, made a special study of these conditions and have discovered original methods which will CURE where the ordinary methods have resulted only in failure. Long ago it occurred to us that many or most of the surgical operations could be avoided, if the nature of the disease was carefully studied and the proper treatment given. Working along this line, carefully studying every phase of the disease, limiting our investigations to a few diseases instead of trying to master all of them our tiieory has been repeatedly proven and we are now in a position to satisfactorily treat and cure many diseases that have heretofore been considered incurable and possible to be relieved only by the surgeon's" knife often maiming the patient for life and at best compelling them to undergo the nerve-wrecking horrors of the operating table. Why suffer? Why put it oft when it is such a simple matter to get cored? Life is too short and time is too precious to postpone attention to one's health.

How the Indian girl goes off and hoots herself and thus makes it possible for the Squaw Man to return to the home of hts ancestors and marry the widowed cousin, is all told in the story. Carl W. Cook, as the "Squaw Man." while not giving a finished impersonation or one which was indicative of

overwhelming histrionic talents, still accomplished the theatric task of convincing his audience with the sincerity and verisimilitude of his charac terization and, in this, is deserving of consideration. His handling of the difficult finale was really admirable. Kenneth Miner, as "Big Bill." while having a sympathetic part, nonetheless did it well.

PHYSICAL or MENTAL DECLINE, BODILY WEAKNESS and DISEASE are almost Invariably the result of some violation of one or more of the laws of nature. We may or may not he conscious; of this fact, for in this day and age of hustle and scramble in order to as quickly as possible attain our aim in life; the simple, but necessary laws of nature whieh are essential to health are grievously overlooked, nature's warnings are unheeded and disease results. Mother nature, always kindly and attentive to our welfare, will always warn us in some way that we should be more careful, and if we heed the warning as we should, with the same kindly care for our welfare she will usually straighten matters out to our satisfaction. On the other hand, if her warnings are ignored and we persist a chronic diseased condition results, to remedy which takes a deeper study into the more complex laws of nature. Here, again, nature comes to our aid, for she has provided natural methods for the

PROSTATIC ENLARGEMENT This may result from a number of causes. The constant Jarring and vibration of trains and trolley cars are a very potent cause. Bicycle riding and the use of riding1 implements on the farm are factors in producing this disease. In fact, the causes are so many and varied that fully 75 per cent, of all male adults are afflicted to a greater or lesser extent by this disease. The disease is so little understood, and as one of the principal symptoms is a pain in the hack. It is usually called kidney trouble and treated with local applications or sedatives which can do no possible good whatever. We reduce the enlargement and have been able to cure about 90 per cent of all cases. VARICOCELE We cure Varicocele in a few days or weeks time without the use of the knife.

The other roles were all well taken. with the exception of those of the women who were stagey not including, however Miss Dorothy Dale who played the Indian wife, "Nat-U-Rich, and who did so cleverly. "Cash Hawkins," the bad man who was shot by the Squaw "Lady." seemed strangely enough a sort of reincarnation of the Earl of Kerhill. Of course this may have been a mere illusion but If not the noble lord richly deserved" the fate meted out to him for wearing the red ribbon in the first act. Maybe it was the star and garter and maybe it wasn't. But in any event he should have been slain. The fact is that "The Squaw Manwas a very good performance by a ten-twenty-thirty cent repertoire company. For Carl Cook has hitherto appeared in Richmond so billed. This is nothing to their discredit, however. Sometimes repertoire companies give astonishingly excellent displays of theatrics. K. Q. W."
