AMUSEMENTS AT i

! LOCAL HOUSES I - : WASHINGTON The part t&ken by Miss Theda Eara in "The Darling of Paris" is one of the most interesting characters she has ever been called upon to interpret since becoming identified with the silent drama. It is an unusual one, dominating the story from beginning to end. There are but few moments when she is not in the picture, which bdds all the more importance to the

POULTRY RETURNED FROM PITTSBURGH

production in general. Miss Bara's charming personality Is so forca'ful that any picture in which she is seen is filled with far more than passing notice. When she appears in a play it is an event a real dramatic event one that attracts attention throughout the entire country, because of her popularity wherever she is known, and her fame extends throughout the world. At the Washington today and Saturday. WASHINGTON

What is promised as one of the best laughing comedies to be seen at thej

Washington this season is kee wiison Dcdds novel play, "His Majesty Bunker Bean" from Harry Leon Wilson's story of the savae name wihch ran as a serial in the Saturday Evening Post. The comedy will be brought here for

one night, March - 12, -with Taylor I Holmes and the original cast from the j Cort Theatre, Chicago and the Astorj Theatre, New York, where it has been making long runs the past year and a half. Standing room was at a premium , at the Murray last night when Otis !

Oliver and Players opened in "The Soul of Broadway," which is their farewell play at this playhouse. The play made the biggest kind of a hit, and every member of the company was seen to advantage. Robert Temple as played by Oti$ Oliver gave to the part his ease and naturalness

that has made him the biggest favor-

lie that has ever played Richmond. Lillian Des Monde as "Milly" was sweet and wore some beautiful gowns. The other leading parts were splendidly portrayed by Mr. Boyle, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Streng, Mr. Hammond, Miss Kennedy and Miss Bond. The whole situation is summed up when it is stated that there is not a dull character in the cast, nor one who does not come up to the standard set by this splendid company. Final performances will be given tonight, Saturday matiness and evening. MURRAY

HAGERSTOWN. Ind.. March 2. That the firght against the high cost of living in our larger cities is becom

ing effective was demonstrated yesterday, when a carload of poultry shipped by D. W.' Harris a week ago con

signed to Pittsburg commission merchants was returned to the, shipper with the explanation that on account of theboycott being conducted in that city to reduce the almost prohibitive cost of the necessaries of life the poultry could not be disposed of. Mr. Harris, who is one of the largest buyers and shippers of live stock, poultry and produce in Indiana has notified all of his patrons that he is out of the market for poultry for the present. The effect on the market will undoubtedly be far reaching and it is impossible to estimate the decline , to follow. Eggs have taken the greatest slump in price they were ever known to drop at one time, the decline being ten cents In twnty-four hours. Local grocers who were paying thirty-five cents for eggs and retailing them at thirty-eight cents were compelled to cut the purchase price to twenty-five cents and the retail price to twentyeight cents at one fell swoop. A further decline is expected at an early date.

MINA MEDFORD HAS MEASLES

Miss Alexander is cast as the mother cf a sweet girl worker, and she certainly looks motherly .with her warm, all-embracing smile, as well as her ready sympathy as expressed in her .eyes.. . ' .

FARMERS SELL EGGS FOR ONLY 25 CENTS

Fresh eggs were selling at twentyfive cents a dozen in the country .today. ' This sensational drop is due' to the boycott which is being conducted by women in the East in an effort to cut down the high cost of living. All poultry products show a marked decline in price. Richmond produce dealers are still able to buy poultry and eggs for shipment, however, at a much lower figure. Eggs were retailing In Richmond today at thirty-seven cents a do2en.

, As. a result of the special 1-cent assessment "to organize women, approximately 20,000 women workers have joined the trade union movement within a year.

HAItCIB IT PLAin The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim to protect the public by preventing ans-statemcnts on the labels of preparations but some people continue to accept "extracts" of cod livers thinking they will get the benefits of an emulsion of cod liver oil. tf The difference is very great. 'An "emulsion" contains real cod liver oil, which has had the hearty endorsement of the medical profession for many years, while an "extract" is a product which contains no oil and is highly alcoholic. . :- t Scott's Emulsion gnorantec the highest grade of real Norwegian cod liver oil, skilfully blended with glycerine and hypophoephites.

Wise parents everywhere realize that the less medicine you give children the better off they are. Still croup and colds must have some form of treatment. This problem was solved by Mr. R. A. Holt, of Colfax, Ind.. by the .use of the external treatment, Vick's VapoRub Salve, the preparation that has made such a remarkable record in the South. Mr. Holt writes "I used Vick's VapoRub on my four months' old baby for a severe cold in his head and lungs. By rubbing VapoRub over his throat and chest and letting him inhale the varors immediate relief follows. I ' find it relieves a severe cold in one night's time. Also,' if your nose and head are stopped up on going to bed, by inhaling a little VapoRub you can sleep soundly and breathe
