This is the season of tbe year when mothers feel very much concerned over the frequent colds contracted by their children, and have abundant reason for it as every cold weakens the longs, lowers the vitality and paves tbe way for the more serious diseases that so often follow.

J. LOUIS SHENK. An Appreciation by Professor William N. Trueblood. The interpretative power of Mr. J. Louis Shenk, who is announcel for a concert in Lindley Hall, Earlham college, March 6th, is of exceptionally fine quality. He is a remarkably sincere man and uses his rich, welltrained voice as a perfect instrument. In him literature and music are combined to a degree that is rare among the entertainers and educatorss now before the public. Listening to him, the literary artist finds to bis surprise and delight that musical tones can render ideas and emotions with the vividness he is accustomed to find in the plainer symbols of his own art.

Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. t the Gennett. Tonight "Naughty Marietta." March 1 "Silver Threads." At The Murray All Week Vaudeville. At Coliseum. Feb. 2S Symphony orchestra eoncert. At Earlham. March 6th Shenk recital, Lindley Hall. "Naughty Marietta." The attraction at the Gennett theater tonight will be Mile Florence Webber, in "Naughty Marietta," a new comic operatic vale cf the Eighteenth Century, presented by Oscar Hammcrsteln, written by Rida Johnson Young, and with music by Victor Herbert. The story begins with "Talsex Vous," which is sung by eight girls and eight boys,' and is said to be a saucy captivating air, carried on principally by the flute. Then follow in succession the songs, "Naughty Marietta," "If 1 Were Anybody Else," a pretty and varied comic duet, "Neath the Southern Moon" and others. The second act is one of the ballroom of the New Orleans Jaunesse D'Oree, in the silvery light of many candles, the men in the dashing white costumes of Louis XV, and the women in beautiful Colonial dresses, with coronets and fans. Among the songs in this act are "Live for Today," "I'm Falling In Love With Someone," "It's Pretty Soft for Simon," and "It Never Can Be Love." "Silver Threads. "Silver Threads," which comes to the Gennett theater Friday night is a simple story beautifully but plainly told in four interesting acts, and in its construction the people of a small New England community are shown as they really are. It overflows with shrewd humor, which relieves at intervals the more serious vein which depicts native pride and dignity, pathos and tenderness, telling in succession a true tale of happiness and suffering among a quiet little family. It is a play of simple life in which the author, Martin V. Merle, has woven a character especially befitting the types and nature of the famous contra tenor, Mr. Richard Jose, that of a village blacksmith, who, with his kind-heartedness and lovable personality, portrays a man who is always loyal to right, causing sunshine to enter from beneath the clouds with the singing of ballads of old which he has made famous, and the sacred hymns appealing to the hearts of all as they are woven into the story. Worrying Happiness, Tbe bishop of Manchester, speaking at a meeting at Church House. Westminster, said the secret of happiness was to bsve a sufficient multitude of worries. Tbe man who had only one worry, a blind that would not be pulled np straight by tbe servant or a coal scuttle the bottom of wbicb was always coming out. found his wsy to the lunatic asylum, but tbe man who bad no time to dwell upon his worries because he had to go from one to another and back again and round and round like a squirrel In a cage could be a perfectly happy man.

The Theaters AT THE MURRAY. The Murray this week is not altogether unexciting. There is a sort of freshness in the singing and dancing of Lew and Ethel McPbee hard to understand. Perhaps because there is nothing suggestive in it. It is, indeed, a kind of abbreviated "Girl of My Dreams," Miss McPhee doing the demure Quaker girl fetch! ng'.y, and the masculine member of the company of two impersonating a rural character convincingly, his dancing bein? one of the hits of the afternoon. Lottie Gardner opens the bill with some clever singing in character and the Julian Sisters hold the attention with their tight wire performances which display great acrobatic skill. The headliners "Josephine Saxon end Dixie Kids" win much applause with their singing, dancing and farcical depictions, the mise en scene being unusually good for this class of vaudeville, especially the Southern plantation scene. Their Indian sketch was realistic and well done and they are, altogether, extremely amusing. The best part of the whole, however, -.vac tbe dancing of three of the company, two girls and a boy, who did some terpsichorean stunts which were supposed to be secondary a sort of second violin accompaniment but which were really the "show" itself. E. G. W. Richmond Symphony Orchestra Concert Tomorrow Night. Cheap by the Hour. "I must say you've got a pretty lot of citizens to allow themselves to be charged at the rate of 5 cents a mile from here down to tbe Junction on a miserable one horse branch road," said the shoe drummer bitlngly. "I'd like ter call yer attention ter one fact before you go on uain' any more secb language," answered tbe ticket agent calmly, "and that Is that, while it may be 5 cents a mile, it's only 35 cents an hour."

All You Need is a Cascaret Tonight

No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach, Coated Tongue or Constipated Bowels by Morning. Turn the rascals out the headache, the biliousness, tbe indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach. Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate your stomach; remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and that misery-making gas; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out of the system all the decomposed waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work. while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head and cheerfulness for months. Children love to take Cascarets because they taste good never gripe or sicken. AN ENDOWMENT FOND For Memorial Day Expenses Was Created. To arrange for using the fund left from the G. A. R. encampment as the nucleus of a sum to pay for the local memorial day celebration was the plan outlined for a committee appointed yesterday afternoon at a joint meeting of representatives of the Commercial club, Y. M. B. ., G. A. R., and Sons of Veterans. According to the plan adopted by the joint body, the fund, $700 will be kept intact, and no part of the principal will be touched. Only the interest will be taken every year to buy flags, and defray other expenses of the annual Memorial Day observance. As the annual expenses run to about $125, efforts will be made gradually to increase the fund until it reaches $2,500. The four organizations interested will give entertainments and will ask citizens to contribute, so that all canvassing can be stopped as soon as the limit is reached. A committee convposed of Judge Comstock, Charles W. Jordan and Will W. Reller, was named to arrange for the endowment and secure three trustees to insure the permanency of the venture. The plan to erect an arch or some other commemorative piece was abandoned when the committee determined that the fund was not large enough to erect a fitting memorial. The plan to use the principal for conventions Was abandoned, for the delegates decided that the fund should be employed solely in the interest of the war veterans. The representatives at the meeting were: L. A. Handley, Will W. Reller, and Demas Coe, of the Y. M. B. C; D. W. Comstock, J. P. Davenport, W. K. Young, of the G. A. R.; John Zwissler, Charles Slifer, of the Commercial Club; C. W. Jordan. William Hansche, George Matthews, of the Sons of Veterans. OPERATION A SUCCESS Mrs. A. D.

ADDITIOIIA

L SOCIETY ABOUT INVITATIONS. Several women were talking the other day at a "pink tea" and giving their own personal experiences. Finally one of them Csid: "I would like to know

how much an invitation Is really ' for a bridge it is a compliment to worth. Some people do not even give : your playing or yourself; if it is a dina "thank you" for it. Some others do ; &er of a luncheon it is probably to , J cancel an obligation, though I have not even let you know it was ever re- gOQe tQ luncneon8 wnwe one who C?ivMl I ... 7.' . . . ., ! invited men did not owe me a lunch-

" ty began another woman, "who makes it a plan to keep her social list rather carefully. When she sends out invitations for a tea or a party and no reply of any kind is received, there is a little check put against that name and when she gives another party no invitation goes to that person "I had an experience the other day, ' reiterated another, "that made me pretty mad. I had some friends here from out of town that were going to stay but r hort time, and I invited some very good friends of theirs to come to my home one afternoon to meet them and have a cup of tea. It was not very much, to be sure, and in fact really don't suppose it would even have been noted in the social column of the evening papers, still it was meant to be a pleasant hour or so for these to be together. "I planned to serve my refreshments about four o'clock. The hour came, but two of the ones invited did not come. We waited twenty minutes for them and then I went to the telephone, called their residence and asked if they were coming, and the one that answered the phone said 'I was just going to call you up and tell you it would be impossible for us to come. Of course she said something about being sorry, but she never said what had kept her from keeping the engagement, which she had promised the day before." "There's another kind of person I would like to wipe off of my list," chimed in a fourth, "and that is the one that just says thank you when you invite her and you can not tell whether she accepts or not.'? "There is another one I would like to throttle," spoke up one girl with considerable spirit, "and that is the one that accepts and does not come, nor send any regrets." "She is not a circumstance," was the interruption, "to the one that accepts and comes an hour late. That is the one that I think is the worst of all, especially, for a luncheon or bridge. An hour late beginning spoils the luncheon and simply knocks out all one's plans for an afternoon at bridge."

THE BEST CORN PLANTER ON

bor we

"The Janesville Corn Planter meets all conditions of seed and soil. . That's good news, of course, but here's better: its variable drop device enables the operator to plant two, three or four kernels to the hill, and is operated by a small lever within easy reach of his hand. "Here's how simple and positive that operation is: On our No. 5 Planter, the operator simply sets the clutch so as to turn the seed shaft one-sixth, one-fourth, or one-third of a revolution, giving two, three or four kernels to the hill. It cannot fail. Every hill is insured by this reliability of drop. Now this quick change device on the Janesville is a part of the clutch construction, not a separate deriee and extra complication as on other planters. The partial revolution makes a great saving on journals over the old style full revolution for every drop." j "Now this convertible drop permits thirty variations in planting with five pairs of plates, (furnished with each machine). Let's talk about the plates for a minute because we want to. tell you that you get the flat drop as well as edge drop plates with your Janesville Planter. You nave tbe advantage, we might say, of two machines in one; because by merely changing the plates, the Jaaesrflle Corn Planter is converted from an edge drop to a flat drop machine. You have in one machine two devices to meet varying conditions. "But, just a minute, there's something else we want to tell you about Janesville Plates. Here it is: ' "You see, the Janesville edge drop plate is so constructed as to permit of the planting of rounsl kernels and to prevent their accumulating in the bottom of the seed cans.; In all other styles of edge ''drop planters these round kernels accumulate and interfere with the accuracy of the drop. New,' la the Janesvme our designers and experimenters have shown -their ingenuity by enlarging the opening where , the seed is discharged from the plate. So the round kernels lodge-in 'the cells and when they come around to the opening they drop through. In other edge drops they prevent the cells from fill

ing but cannot themselves pass Cell ed Id C3 D

conversation.' began one of the party, "how much Is an invitation worth T "Well," came the answer from one girl. "It depends considerably on the invitation. If It is to a great big party, then you ought to feel complimented because you are remembered when there are so many; if it is a very small company, it la a compliment

because vou are one of so few: if it is !, If If nno nf th- ivv larkv parties, just for a good time, then I know it is because I am wanted; if It is a tea for the dear four hundred friends, I know my hostess is getting her mind in that complacent state that it has when all her spring housecleaning is done and her wardrobe is ready fr the summer, but whatever the rea son any one invites me anywnere, to my mind it is worth a note or a card of acceptance or regret, that takes but a moment to write and that costs but a postage stamp for Uncle Sam to deliver it." Familiar Sayings. "I don't like your weigh. remarked tbe customer to tbe dishonest rrocer. "I hope I make myself clear." said the water as it passed through the filter. "Reading makes tbe full man. but writing doesn't,'' complained the half starved poet "My resources are all tied up." said the tramp as be placed his bundle on a stick.
