Another corking bill will open today with Queen Mab and Oscar Weis, the midgets, heading it. These clever lit- tle entertainers have made such a hit the first three days that they will be held over for the remainder of the wéek. A trio of musical entertainers using wmandolins, guitars and banjos, ete., for the amount of entertainment af- forded their hearers. A dainty sing- ing comedienne is Irene Hunt, who will render several new and catchy songs. The Madcap trio of girl acro- bats, a very unusual act, will present their work in a first class easy, but fast manner, and will surely please. In Africa, or Scenes Made Famous by Theodore Roosevelt. is the feature mo- tion picture for today and shows the “Imp” pictures at their best BREED THEATER. “Auntie at Yale-Harvard ace,” Thames River Story. Always the pioneer of motion pic- ture novelties of the highest class, the Breed theater is still in the front rank of refined entertainers, with the su- perb story of the Yale-Harvard race, entitled Auntie at the Races, This is a fascinating story enacted wholly upon the Themes river, at New Lond®on, and at the poat houses at Gales Ferry and tells of the dastardly sttempt of a rival faction to draw the stroke oar of the Harvard crew into a plot, whereby he could®be held pris- ener until after the great race, know- ing full well that without this valua- bie member Yale could win. The stroke’s sweetheart is in a large hotel in New London, and as her room hap- pens to be next to the room where the scheme has been concocted, she over- hears it and succeeds in thwarting the villainous plans, and the hero arrives Just In time to jump into the shell, and s =plendid get away is made and there is an exciting race all the way to the bridge, whers Harvard wins by several lengths, and the return to the boat house is made, where the delight- ful romance ends. “Auntie” is a sport all through the pieture, and is a very necessary member of the cast. My. Lowd will be heard in an en- tirely new programme of Dpicture songs. COMMITTEES NAMED, These Whe Wiil Serve at the Dance and Social of Ladies’ Charitable So- ciety.

People who use straw mattresses run the risk of being attacked by the straw itch, a disease said to be new to American physicians. It is a peculiar itching, eruptive disease, which has been proved to be due to the attack of a small straw and grain infesting wite. Public attention has been call- ed to the subject by a publication in the last issue of the government pub- lie health reports by Joseph Goldberg-- er, passed assistant surgeon in the public health service. Surgeon Goldberger says it has heen shown that the presence of the mite fn the straw or grain is dependent upon the occurrence in the straw or grain of certain in 't parasites upon which the mite preys. To the farmer this wite is ordinarily beneficial in that preving on the Insect parasites of wheat the dmage to his crops by the Matter is minimized. ‘The occurrence of a disease similar to the one under discussion has several times been recorded in the European medical press in the last fifty or sixty ya-n and its association with a mite In the United States, however, “u.nnhdy 'Was not recognized until Wothing tastes as good on a hot day as a z of Williams’ Root Beer.

Charging that there is a general neglect to give proper records of births and deaths in many towns about New Haven county, County Health Officer Hoadley is at present directing a cru- sade to bring about a rigid enforce- ment of the law. He is at present in- vestigating in Ansonia and neighbor- ing cities and will take up the work in New Haven some time next week, as it is thought that there is consid. erable disregard of the law there. Mr. Hoadley says the failure to re- ports births was largely among the foreign population, and is due in most respects to ignorance of the laws. He cites instances where births occurred and where no practicing physician was called it. Instead, a woman, who prac- ticed midwifery, without the proper authoriity, would not file a birth re- turn on account of making herself liable to prosecusion. The parents of the infant were ignorant of the law. So that the report of the recent ar rival was not made known by them, consequently there was no record of it. But for the fact that death resulted in some of these cases, nothing would be known of this matter, and County Health Officer Hoadley believes the number of births that have not been recorded must be very large. Mr. Hoadley, in the hope that the matter can be straightened out to sote ex- tent, will ask the aid of the clergy- men of the city. He proposes to se- cure a list of the children who have been baptized and after this is done comparisons will be made with the vital statistics. It is his intention to have the reports from the churches go as far back as the beginning of 1909. Not Properly Moving Pictures. A Waterbury lady, Mrs. Ella TRoot Bloor, has printed a letter proposing that the churches take over the mov ing picture shows on Sunday and in other ways try to make the best of the naturgl and inevitable disposition to recreation. Her own outline of the plan does not sound as attractive as it might in some respects, particularly In proposing open air concerts interrupted by “brief speeches.” Most people would prefer their music without hav- ing to listen to speeches of any kind. In printing the article the Republi- can (which approves its main pur- pose) goes farther, although what it desires differs little from what is com- mon practice except that it is pro- posed to make it legal instead of for- bidding it by law and then ignoring the law. It adds: “Tt took twenty- fivg vears to open the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the working people of New York, and there were good peo- ple who expected a visitation like that of Sodom and Gomorrah when it was done.”—Hartford Times. _— LEGAL NOTICES.
