CHASING SOOT AWAY WITH A WHITE APRON “The other day,” remarked a Brooklyn housewife, “I discovered a most satisfactory and, I believe, novel use for my new electric cleaner which all good housekeepers may be glad to hear. “Accumulations make it necessary to cleon out stoves or furnaces, Heretofore, I picked out my oldest apron and wrapped my head with a turban, Turkish fashion. I then removed most of the soot with ithe little stove shovel or garden tro- wel. Getting covered with soot does rot maintain an even temper. The i house was filled with impalpable par- | ticles of dirt and whdih I got through I was generally an unprepossessing spectacle.” “I had just finished this wretched task the other day when suddenly I had an inspiration. Our new electric | cleaner was standing nearby. I iplaced the big suction end into the | stove over the top place and, presto, the soot was removed as if by magic. So far as flying particles were con- | cerned, I might have had on a white !dress without its getting a single |smudge. Hereafter, no more dust | brushes, When cleaning out a stove (or furnace, just take the vacuum icleaner, turn the switch on a side | wall and watch the dirt disappear.” i ' RHEUMATISM | Physician Believes a Genunie Rem- I edy for the Disease Has of soot always Been Found. Rneuma the wonderful rheumatism | remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co., !and all drugsgists at 50 cents a bottle, | glves quicker and more lasting relief | than other remedies costing many ! times as much. ; Rheuma passes the deadly poison- ous secretions into the bowels and kidn.ys, from which they are quickly lmmwn off in a natural, healthy way. Real what a reputable physician sdys about Rheuma: “I have made a most careful investigation of tae formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recom- mend it as & ramedy for all forms of rhe .matism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally {employed In fthe treatment of rheu- matism, and altogether different in | composition irom the remedies usual- |1y prescribed.” This should give any sufferer from | rheumatism confidence in trying | Rheuma.

Sold by drug- | country; ANTH PLEASES LYCEUM AUDIENCE Harriet Remple Scores in Moral- ity Play Here Last Night Yes, there were some “Sinners,” but, as it afterwards turned out, some of the sinners were better than the saints, much as it is in real life. Those who attended the Lyceum last night and saw Owen Davis’ play, ‘“Sinners,” will attest this. And here is about the way the play goes. A poker party is on in Hilda Newton’s apartment, in New York. Gathered about the board are the habitues of the Rialto, worshippers of the bright lights, There is the man who is keeping Hilda going, “Willie” Morgan, and “Joe” Garfield, a lover of Polly Cary, is there with Polly. Also among those present is Bob Merrick, a very nice young chap who has made big money in the Klon- dike and who, after being jilted in love, is out to see all the gaiety. A party is made up for a trip to At- lantic City; but a girl is wanted for Merrick. Enter then Miss Mary Hor- ten, fresh from the hills of New Hampshire. She has met Hilda, an old-home-town-friend of hers on the street, and, Mary being hungry, Hilda takes her home. It is suggested that Mary go along to the New Jersey re- sort to make up the missing link. She is supposed to satisfy the cravings of young Merrick. But'Merrick’s good senses return to him about this time and he does not want to go through with it; old “Willis” Morgan, how- ever, as an enticer of fair maidenhood is equal to the job, and succeeds in get- ting little Mary to take a high-ball and also to consent to going on the journey, when in steps a holier-than- thou person, a’'good young man, fresh from the country, Horace Worth. Horace brings a message with him, Mary's mother is dying. So, instead of going on the party, and walking into-the pit, Mary goes home to her mother with Horace. Curtain. Mary is now at her old home in the New Hampshire hills. Her moth- er is recuperating. Dr. Simpson, who has rescued Mrs. Horton, is anxious to know about his old sweet- heart, Hilda, whom Mary met in New York. Mary- tells him, and, no sooner is the tale told and the Doctor gone then the door swings open and in romps the whole outfit from the Harlem flat. They are all there, in- cluding Bob Merrick. Mother eventu- ally meets the New Yorkers, and out of the goodness of her heart, closes a very touching scene with a psalm singing episode warrant- ed to bring tears to the strongest. Mother Horton invites her intruders, or guests, to. remain for supper, and after that meal, young Merrick has a heart-to-heart talk with the “old lady” in which he tells of his gay life, always featuring, however, that it has been thrust upon him. She shows him a few pictures in the family album, tells a tale about how her own dear father wrecked the family home by seeking ‘fools’' gold,” and Bob is convinced. There is al- most a happy ending here, but young Horace' Worth intrudes and tells the mother just what he saw in New York. Good gracious. That is al- most enough to ruin any situation; but the mother looks into the eyes of her little darling Mary and knows it is not so. She promptly gives Mr. Worth a good “laying out.”. The shock is terrible on mother, and in the last act we have everybody wait- ing outside the cottage door for the news of her death. But she fools them all. She is not going to die. She had previously told Horace what she thought of him, and so she is going to stay to finish all the details. Somehow, mother has an Inkling that Bob Merrick should stop searching for fools’ gold and get some of the real article. And so, she comes out on the old front porch, and puts the proposition straight from the shoul- der. Clasping the hands of Bob and Mary in hers she asks her daughter: ‘“Deep down in your heart, do you really want him to go?” And Mary, like a good little girl, answers: “Not if he wants to stay mother,” and the play is over. There are of course, some things we have left out; how the Doctor and Hilda renew a love acquaintance of earlier days; how Polly Cary goes back to the bright lights with a few lackadaisical remarks about the how Sadie, the ‘“‘hired girl” at Mrs. Horton’s, made an expose’ of the good, young man, Horace Worth, ete. ‘Well, anyway, ‘“Sinners,” the play, is not as bad as “Sinners,” are la- beled. Particularly redeeming was the manner in which Miss Harriet Rempell portrayed the character of the simple little country miss, Mary Horton, who has gone to New York to seek her fortune and who finds out the loneliness and bitterness of it all. For one her age, there are few actresses on the American stage who could have equalled Miss Rempell as she played last night. She has all the little mannerisms, and winsome- ness of personality that captivate au- diences, and best of all, she possesses a wonderful speaking voice. Playing opposite her, J. Amgus Gustam, as Bob. Merrick, presented in & very capable manner a young man trying to be good under extenuating ecir- cumstances. The next best, we should say, was Misg Gladys Wilcox, a won- derful young woman, who faithfully characterized one of New York's fa- vorite playthings, a worldy-wise wo- man who knows how to handle men. Charles Canfield, as “Willie"” Morgan the man of money, was good, as Charles Canfield always is. One of the bright lights in the play was Ida Ellis who, as Sadie, the hired girl, put her lines over in good shape. Susie Kerwin as the mother was very good, as was Charles B. Hamlin, as James K. Whitmore, Harry B. Yard, the Doctor. Others in the cast were: and Alice and Hutchinson. e ——— HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW COAT AND SUIT DEPT.?
