Work Indorsed. The Ministerial Association Indorsed the work of the Y. M. C. A. and adopted a resolution that. In event Of war, de nominational religious movement be carried on through the Y. M. C.

In his address Dr. Waller said that the social, educational, moral and In dustrial development of the South in the last few years has been rapid and substantial.

PHAGES BILL SNAPPY REMARKABLE PLAYLET FORMS HEADLINE OFFERING. "Wop" Violinist Slakes Hit and Oak land Beauties Offer Attractive Musical Torn. Another big, Bnapy bill Is on at P&ntages this week, with a sensational headliner In Constantine Bernard!, pro. tein artist extraordinary. He presents a remarkable vaudeville playlet In which he appears In rapid succession as the several characters. A novel pote Is added In that he makes his quick changes Just outside veiled curtains, so that the audience can see Just how It Is all done. Bernard! is a source of constant amazement and interest for the rap'dity with which he changes his entire ap pearance In an Instant's time. He has one trick that is mystifying. In which he holds a square of cloth In front of himself and each time he lowers it he has metamorphosed completely In at tire, from facial make-up to apparel. After the playlet, in which he imper sonates fully two dozen various folk, he presents a series of kings and em perors, present and deposed, closing Warning as to Our ' Waning Vitality BY LEE HERBERT SMITH. M. D.) In urging upon the country the ob servance of last December 6 as "Medi cal Examination Day," the Life Exten sion Institute issued a circular in which it called attention to the reasons why every man should take stock of his physical condition Just as frequently as he takes stock of his financial con dition,' thereby learning his weak spots and taking measures to repair them before it Is too late. In the Spring Is the best time to take stock of one's condition. If the blood is thin and watery, face pale or pimply, generally weak, tired and listless, one ehould take a Spring tonic One that will do the Spring housecleaning, an old-fashioned herbal remedy that was used by everybody nearly 60 years ago, is still safe and sane because It con tains no alcohol or narcotics. It Is made up of blood root. Golden Seal root, Oregon grape root. Queen's root. Stone root. Black Cherry bark ex tracted with -glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was first put out by Dr. Pierce In ready-to-use form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If druggist does not keep this in tablet form, send $1.00 to Dr. V. M. Pierce. Buffalo. N. Y. Kidney disease carries away a large percentage of our people. What Is to be done? The answer is easy. Eat less meat, eat coarse, pain food, with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent after meals for a while, such as Anuric (double strength), obtainable at almost any drug store. It was first discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every one troubled with urio acid finds that Anuric dissolves the urio acid as hot water does sugar. Adv. with a characterization of President Wilson. Bernardl Is helped by a flock of busy assistants. A big feature act which evokes rounds of applause is that of Cedora. the "girl of the golden globe," who rides on a motorcycle In a mad whirl about the Inside of a huge jolden globe which covers almost the entire stage. The act is one ol those death defying sort and Is watched with tense Interest. , - An attractive act Is that of Vivien and Dagraar Oakland, two Ziegfeld Follies beauties, who live up to the reputation held by that well-known aggregation for its beautiful girls. One sister s a Charlotte Greenwood girl, and the other a demure type. Both are radiant of personality and wear smart togs. They sing and they dance 'way bove the ordinary in vaudeville and are a distinct hit. Tony Amato. billed as the "Wop" violinist, pleases mightily. He wanders on carelessly and proceeds to make the sweetest of music on his violin, vary ing his offerings from the old-time fiddler to the classics and then Into merry ragtime. His notes are true and his playing Is excellent. Tom Kelly returns with new Irish isms, a new Erin melody or two, and a few of the old favorites. He makes a lot of friends. Another pair who amuse by their exchange of chatter and happy-go-lucky ways are Will Rawls, In black face, and Ella Van Kaufman. They have a lot of new stuff Opening the bill are George and" May LeFeore, ex traordinary dancers, who offer new and original steps with an acrobatic flavor. May Is a beauty and slim and wears cutie clothes, what there is of them. RECRUITING SHOWS GAIN NAVY TAKES IN 25, ARMY 10, MARINES 3, IN ONE DAY.

Eliot, Jr., Declares That p9 Per Cent of German-Americans Are Loyal. A set purpose that this country shall keep its hands clean of selfishness and aggression In case It is plunged Into war was urged by Rev.' W. G. Eliot, Jr., In his address yesterday at the first of a series of noonday meetings to be held at the Church of Our Father. Broadway and Yamhill street, on the theme, "The Rebirth of a True National Spirit." "The problem now," said Rev.

Rev. Mr. Eliot expressed the belief that of the large number of so-called German-Americans living In the coun try 99 per cent will prove loyal. He said that they were naturally placed in a position which would mean an guish to them, and for that reason should command the respect of the other people of the country.

Wheelwright will speak oh "The Possi bilities of Peace." 132 COUPLES ARE WEDDED Of Marriages Performed In Van couver Half Are From Portland. VANCOUVER, Wash., April 2. (Spe cial.)

Piano and Miuisic Stock It was a sad spectacle that greeted the officials of Eilers Music House at the Broadway Store last Sunday morning after the steam had cleared away and they were able with safety to enter the basement. The cases of be tween 25 and 30 pianos had been more or less severely damaged by the hot steam which unfortunately they were unable to force out of the basement for at least 12 flours after the water from the broken pipe had reached the steam heat" ing pipes generating volumes of steam. The list of damaged pianos in cludes some very fine and costly instruments, both in players and ordinary hand-played pianos; in fact, there are two baby grand pianos included, both of which, however, had been used. It really would not take a great de?l of time nor expense to ref inish these cases, but as our repair department "is ex tremely busyat the present time, and as more than half of our retail salesroom has been rendered unfit for display for some time to come we are very much put out and crowded. We have, therefore, de cided to dispose of these pianos and large stock of music, piano benches, stools and cabinets as fast as we can, just as they are. We are not' onlv froiner to eive nurphasprs ad vantage oi adjustment already made with owners of the build in p- but allow an additional discount as an inducement to get the pianos off . our hands.

Wasn't it a pity that we had to have an entire car of brand new pianos assembled In the receiving room in the basement await-, ing final inspection before being put in our upstairs salesroom? These instruments were received at the uptown establishment on Saturday, and as our delivery boys were very busy they were left over until Monday morning. The Moral Is Plain. - While the cases of these pianos are some what damaged, the interiors are not hurt a particle. We guarantee this, and we guar antee these new pianos in every way except ing the injury to cases. They must, how ever, be sold as damaged pianos, as it is not our policy to sell as perfect goods any in strument that at any time has been exposed or has suffered a blemish, however slight. These instruments are the equal of those offered most anywhere at $375 to - $400. They will be offered at practically half that figure. Used Ones, Too $35, 75, $110 and So On Many used pianos assembled in our base ment salesrooms suffered more or less damage. Among these are included several superb Kimballs, a Chickering, Scliaaf Bros., published in many classified books. KrmrJ fVl(r Knnr TnetmmoTitol 50c Folios going at -27 leased at 5:30 this morning.
