On The Boards j

WASHINGTON Pollyanna," the comedy of good cheer, comes to Richmond at the Washington theatre on next Monday pisbt, to inaugurate a glad period that will make everybody happy and hopeful. It is in accord with the spirit of the times when morbidity should be thrown into discard and optimism encouraged in the theatre as in all affairs of life. It has been received upon the stage with the same enthusiasm that its basis, the famous "gladbook" stories by Eleanor H. Porter, aroused between book covers. The "Pollyanna" stories have reached half a million circulation all over the world and the publishers estimate that every book sold averages ten readers. That means equivalent of five million copies. Catherine Chisholm Cushing made the dramatization. She is credited with preserving the rainbow spirit of the books and deftly blending humor, sentiment and romance.

The phrase "a cock and bull story" is a corruption of the words, "a concocted and bully story," the latter term being derived from the Danish word bullen. "exaeeerated "

RVSSIJH RETREAT.

In their recent flight before the oncoming German forces thera was a degree of bovine placidity which nearly distracted the foreign officeia with the Slavic forces. Much of tn retreating was done when the Kua sian soldiers were in no immediate danger. They turned their backs on the foe deliberately and in a panic,' Careless of how much of their country passed under the control of the enemy, they started their retreat in many cases long before they were in peril. The above picture is a photograph of;a lone British officer vain effort to atem the tide of disaster by checking the retreat of transports. With him are several Russian Officers attached to British armored can on the eastern front. fc , ,

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT . Common sense is the fabric of education. You are fully entitled to your own opinion on every subject, but some people do not think it necessary for you to state itSuccess is a habit, and so likewise is failure: when we use our good qualities, and we live the uplifting life, but when we show our worst, we fall down and pull others with us.

Not a Corn or Callus on Feet Apply few drops, then lift them off without pain

A noted Cincinnati authority discovered a newether compound and called it freezone and it now can be bad in little bottles for a few cents from any druc store. ybu simply apply a fewdrops of freezone upon a tender com or painful callus and instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corp or callus so loose that you can lift it off with fingers. No pain, not a bit of soreness, either when applying freezone or afterwards, and it doesn't even irritate the skin. Hard corns, soft eorns or corns between the toes, also toughened calluses, just shrivel up and lift off so easy. It is wonderful! It works like a charm. Try it! Women should keep freezone on their dressers and never let a corn ache twice.
