28 700 CHICAGO BLIND ARE IVEN CHECKS Sightless Pensioners Call in Person to Get Quar- terly Dole. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June blind women; along with their canes, picking their way carefully up the steps of 1908 West Polk street—pensioners come for their deie, So many blind people at one place at one tije. So many different types of blind people. Some wore the mendi- cant’s sign, “1 am blind.” These weit the beggars who live by the alms of those who can see, and who can sym- pathize. Many others came led by chil- dren; still others in the care of adults. ©One or two arrived in automobiles. Out of the 700 who tapped their un- certain way Into the county agent’s of- fice yesterday, not one was led by a dog. ‘That seemed strange to those who ob- served and who had read stories of blind nien and the dogs that lead them. But all carried canes. ‘The 700 represented all but a few of the Cook County blind eligible for quar- terly checks. It is a psychology of the blind, sald Joseph Moss, director of the office, that they collect their checks in person, not even depending upon the mails. Being blind, they seem to want to do for themselves all that they can. Fach check was for $90; $1 a day, paid half by the county and half by the State to every blind person whose an- nual income is less than $465. Some pensioners have been receiving checks since 1903, though only within the year has it been $90 a quarter. It formerly was $20. Cook County's pocketbook has been thin for many months, but yesterday it did not neglect to have $65,000 ready for those who walk in darkness. PERU TO GIVE HIGHEST HONOR TO U. S. ENVOY Alexander P.

Remarkable statements for this nationally known remedy are now received almost daily, entire fami- lies are using it with wonderful re- sults, and hundreds say words can- not describe the great relief it gives. 700 of them: tapping | AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL PIAYERS—“The Girl of the Golden West.” This week the National Theater Players spread their wings a bit and fiy away from the realm of nice little tiwee-act comedies into the land of | real drama.

Playing the difficult part which car- ried Blanche Bates star high into the theatrical firmament, Miss King gives her best performance since coming to this city. She realizes to the fullest extent on the dramatic situation with- out ever overdoing her part. The building of the sets alone re- ired weeks of labor and caused anager Cochran to dig deep into his treasure chest, but the result is well worth it—from the viewpoint of the audienc t least. Whatever acting was left over after Miss King was through was cared for in excellent style by others of the cast, with particular credit being due Edward Arnold, Roger Pryor and Robert Brister. Pryor, as Johnson, a stranger, plays Arnold is seen as Somora S§lim, the rough-and-ready gold miner who be- | comes as a child under the gentle in- | fluence of “The Girl of the Golden | West.” He is at his best while keeping {order in the “academy.” an institution of learning conducted by Miss King in | the backroom of the saloon. Robert Brister is given the best part he has had in some time as Jack Rance, | Southern gambler and sheriff. He han- dles the part well, his outstanding per- | formance, perhaps, being that he car- ries the soft Southern drawl of the hard-boiled gambler through four acts without once lapsing back into “Yankee | talk.” The story of the play deals with life during the days of the gold rush. “The | girl” "in addition to her activities as | school teacher, conducts a saloon and | formerly known as the new leading lady, 'his part for all there is in it.

Mrs. George Wich, 916 K Street SE., who has lived in Washington for 35 years, says she suffered for 10 xears during which time she tried various reme- dies with no beneficial results; then she tried a short treatment of this medicine, and in less than six weeks she was feeling better than she had for years past. “Yes” cozgraued Mrs.” Wich, “I tried speclrfim- ments and all kinds of meNcines, and as this one gave me more relief than all the others combinec¢ I feel as though I should tell otlers of it. 1 had suffered with pains wround the heart, gas on the stomach,’ weak, fainting spells and chronic constipa- tion, even salts and other troj laxatives failed to act, and for 4 or 4 days,at a time the bowels wouiil not move. This Herb Extract proved to be a blessing to me, the first few doses caused a mild, gentle action of the bowels, in just a few days the system was cleansed of the waste, and from then on I began to im prove right along, pains in stomach, also gas passed away, and I cannot begin to tell you how much better 1 feel. My husband also uses the medicine, and, like myself, says he thinks it is & remedy without an equal. One thing sure, Miller's Herb Extract did for me in a few weeks what others failed to do in ten years, and I will always praise it wherever I go.” It is quick results every sufferer wants, and Herb Extract brings re- 1 sults overnight as thousands of | statement,, similar to the above from grateful users indicate.
