The statement of a manufacturer is not convincing proof of merit. But the endorsement of friends Is. Now supposing you had a bad back. A Lame, Weak or Aching one. Would you experiment on it? You will read of many so-called cures. Endorsed by strangers from faraway places. It's different when the endorsement comes from home. Easy to prove Vcal testimony. Home endorsement is the proof that backs every box of Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case. Mrs. Fred Heater, 607 N.

An Interesting Study From Historic and Pictorial Viewpoints. Quite apart from their use In various games, playing cards are an Interesting study from historic and pictorial points of view.

" represent! ag four classes of people as they were divided at the time the pack of cards we now use was devised by the French The "spades stood for pikemen or soldiers, the clubs for clover, typifying farmers: the diamonds for building tiles, representing artisans, and the hearts for choirmen or ecclesiastics. The "kings" and "queens" at that time were more or less correct likeness of certain royal and noble personages. Even in our modern packs it is said that one of the queens is a conventionalized portrait of Elizabeth of York, who was engaged to the dauphin of France. The "knaves" were then the king's Jesters, and even these cards may be portraits. All the court cards, in fact, retain their sixteenth century characteristics. Cards are among the few things that have not changed with the centuries. Brooklyn Eagle. NAPOLEON'S DESTINY, Summed Up In Four Mottoes Bonaparte Learnod at School. In 17S4 Bonaparte, then fifteen years old. arrived at the military school of Paris from Brienne, being one of four under tbe conduct of a minim priest. He monnted 173 steps, carrying hia small valise, and reached. In the attic, the barrack chamber he was to occupy. This chamber had two beds and a small window opening on the great yard of the school. The' young predecessors of Bonaparte had bescrawled the whitewashed walls with charcoal, and the newcomer could read in this little cell these four inscriptions, which we ourselves read there years ago: An epaulet is very long to win. De Montgivray. The finest day in life is that of a battle. Vicomte de Tinteniac. Life is but a prolonged lie. Le Chevalier Adolphe Delmas. The end of all is six feet of earth. I.e Comte de la Villette. With the trifling substitution of the word "empire" for "epaulet" these four sentences contain the whole destiny of Bonaparte and formed a , kind of "Mene, Tekel, TJpharsin," written in advance upon that walL Victor Hugo. Danger In Paint. "Turpentine and benzine," says a department of agriculture bulletin, "are very inflammable, and special precautions should be taken not to bring paint containing these substances near any light or open fire. Many pigments are poisonous, and the workman should be particularly careful to remove all paint stains from the skin and not under any circumstances allow any of it to get Into his mouth. A man should not eat In tbe same clothes in which he has been painting aud before eating should not only change his clothes, but wash all paint stains from his skin. It is not advisable to use turpentine or benzine in removing paint stains from the bands, but by oiling thoroughly with Unseed oil or in fact with any fatty oil and then thoroughly washing with soap the paint may be removed, provided It has net been allowed to dry too thoroughly on th handa." ,

Because You Pay Ten Cents to See a Play Is No Reason Why You Shouldn't Enjoy It as Well as If You Paid Three Dollars.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WnlTc After all the differences aren't so great. A king is nothing but a man. And sometimes a very ordinary one. In fact almost always. Strip him of his decorations and his dignity and his robes of state and, two to one, he's a poor enough thing. Artists have but paint, brush and canvas. And rarely are queens so in appearance. Mary, co-regent with King George of all the Britons and "then some" looks like any common housewife on any average side street. You could go to a moving picture show and see a dozen who better looked the part. Poets are thought to sit and discourse in meter when the fact is they arc as keen after a wellbroiled steak and a pretty girl as any man twiddling hjs thumbs before a club window. Robert Browning was a notorious diner-out and was not at all averse to playing the carpet knight. Artists, after all, have but paint, brush and canvas. The musician but his instrument. The architect stone, mortar and wood. i The actor hia own personality and a few traditions. I When you read that a picture by a i certain eighteenth century French painter sold for $132,000 at a great art , sale in Paris as was chronicled wide-' ly recently at the time cf the Doucet sale an awed public probably regards tliis picture of a wondrous substance when it may not be any better than one of Bundy's incomparable landscapes or, indeed, not of as great artistic merit. In this particular instance, however, it is a fact that the artist vho painted the $132,000 picture was not regarded cither in his or a subsequent time as smong masters. It was run up to this dizzy figure in one of those insane moments known to art sales and political conventions. Nominees for presidents have been made in the same way. For example "the cross of gold." And, as stated yesterday, the chasm bf-tween the great, or alleged great, actor and his submerged confrere in a twenty cent stock company is not bottomless. One of the handicaps of the development of dramatic art is the latter's public. While there is much that is mediocre ' and crude and banal about the stage i-.nd its exponents, there is much that is the same this side the footlights. Even ten cent vaudcvillians and the lesser priced stock companies deliberately play down to their audiences. The truth is that all Art, of whatever degree or phase, is throttled, if not entirely strangled, by . the Philistines.' " Artists' paint commCTeW-Motuwr-Why?

CRITERION

They must knowingly debase their ta'ents to the level of the buyer. Actors suppress and reduce and minimize to bring the interpretation within the intellectual and visual grasp of their audiences. This even with the stock company as known in Richmond. In the presentation of "Camille" that woeful tragedy of woman these histrions gave, as stated elsewhere yesterday, an excellent interpretation lo a famous play whatever you may or may not think of its morale or ethic. But, even at that, they had to hedge and curb and trim and suppress. For the tremendous moment ever trembles on the burlesque. There is a type of mind and it is common enough that sees in a theatrical performance nothing save its humours or grotesqueries. Which goes to the play-house to laugh. - And which Is the bane of all actors, near or otherwise. The giggle, the snicker, the tee-hee-ing when the actor has worked to a climax. Or the loud or hysterical cackle when he has expended emotional force upon some more subtle point these arc known to all theatre-goers. But as annoying as it is to the other theater-goers it is far more so to those the other side of the footlights. It spoils the continuity of their theatric procedure, confuses their own personality with that of the impersonation and works havoc In the finesse of their interpretations. A baby's wail will throw a well seasoned actor off the track and even the hardened vaudeville performer will be irritated and handicapped. The mystery remains why people will take babies to the theatre. Or if they do why they don't get up and take them out when the baby begins to cry and fret or breaks into a yrolonged yowl. The mother, or grandmother, or whoever it is, can't hear or see anything that's "going on" on the stage. And effectually bars everybody else from doing so. There should be a rule, even at the lower priced theaters, making it obligatory to remove a child as soon as it begins to disturb an audience. Supposing you do only pay ten cents admission. That is no reason why you need sit cut a nuisance of this sort. People shouldn't judge of the quality, or, at le?st the effect, of an article, by its price. Why pay any attention to a ten cent stock company, says the superior one. Why not? The psychology which animates a et.ge performance for which you may pay ten or twenty cents is as interesting as that for which you pay two dollars.

THE ONLY SURE RHEUMATISM CURE ON EARTH If you suffer from rheumatic agony or have a relative or friends who is tortured, read the following thankful letter, then go to Leo. H. Fihe and get a 50c cent bottle of RHEUMA. He sells it on money-back plan. . ' One year ago I had a most severe attack of rheumatism, lasting over nine weeks. Two bottles of RHEUMA cured me so completely I .have never had the slightest return of the disease. We have a friend, an old lady, living here, who had rheumatism for more than a year, and she too was cured. Her joints were all stiffened and swollen, and she had previously tried everything for rheumatism she had ever heard of." George M. Ross, 308 N. Warren Ave., Saginaw, Mich., July 27, 1911.

It acts on kidneys, stomach, liver and bladder and brings blessed relief in one or two days. enjoyed the presentation of "Camille" jesterday afternoon on the ten cent admission basis more than she did that of Madame Bernhardt and her company at three dollars a head. And why? Because, in the first place, Bernhardt, notwithstanding her celebration as eternally youthful, does not give jou that impression. As "Camille" she was not convincing because she was old and, alas, fat. No exquisiteness of dramatic art, l-o wonderful golden voice nothing could throw these two facts into the effing. In addition Bernhardt insulted her audience by cutting out whole scenes because she was displeased with the auditorium and the size of the audience. Without any regard whatever for the theatric verities sbe calmly cut out half the play relying, obviously, G8 the fact that since the play was resented in French it could make no difference. At least half the audience followed the French version and those who didn't had the famous "deadly parallel" in English before them. There was no convincingness, no verisimilitude. Sarah Bernhardt is a past grand mistress of theatric finesse. Her vast and ramifying knowledge of every infinitesimal stage trick not the art which conceals art. but the trick which conceals the lack of art i3 terrifying and occult. She is a supreme theatrical trickster. But she is not a superb dramatic artist.

THE FOURTH DIMENSION. This Tells What it la. Though You May Not Quito Grasp It. The fourth dimension ia a property of space quite beyond tbe sense perception of men. an abstraction derived from tbe results obtained by well comprehended processes in the higher mathematics. Certain things happen In these computations which are in no way susceptible of explanation in a space restricted to the three tea chest dimensions of length, breadth and thickness. From a sufficiently considerable number of such phenomena the theory has been evolved that space has a fourth dimension. In the common progress of mathematical study the need of such transcendental dimension first arises In the specific case of that plane section of the cone designated the hyperbola. At au infinite as well as in all intermediate distances of that curve from the point of origin the line Is continuous in a given direction: if now to infinity a single unit be added tbe enrve conies i.ito view in the diametrically opposite direction. In this elementary demonstration the fourth spatial dimension appears to sussest sphericity, but this is only the beginning. It is still under careful es aniiniuion by mathematicians.
