The rules referred to by Dr. Parrish.
and which have been m-idely circulated
by the City Bureau of Health, are as
follows:
Ke;p your bowels open: take a bath
every day: get lots of fresh air; eat
plain, nourishing food: keep yonr feet
warm and dry: remove wet clothing as
son as possible: avoid chilling of the
body or living in rooms of a tempera

antiseptic solution: avoid persons suf
fering from colds, sore throats and
rougns: cover your nose with your
handkerchief when you sneeze, your
mouth when you cough: change hand
kerchiefs freqiently: promptly disin

washing witii soap end water: if sick.
uo matter how slightly, see a physician.
Health officials are agreed on the im
portance of public co-operation in
checking the disease. The most trifling
cold should be closely watched, they
think, and should receive medical treat
ment. For such a cold, while appar
ently of slight moment to the host, may
be a type of influenza, which, if trans
mitted to another, will spread the dis
ease in Its most virulent form.

Orpheum.
RPHEL'M fans of yesterday were
either fickle or Impartial, for at
the opening matinee of thla week's new
bill applause in enthuslactic and cdpl
oua quantities was meted out each to
eaca in turn from headllners Grace
La Rue and Lawrence Grant in "Et-
ficlency." and the opening tumbling
numbers, to the f.nal freak skit and
dance. It was all good and all funny.
Miss Larue, termed on the pro
gramme as "The International Star of
Song." and whose name Is known to
all followers of musical comedy as one
to be featured, made a sensational ap
pearance yesterday despite her unpre
tentious bearing. Appearing between
draperies of C-ll taupe velvet, she made
a vivid entre, gown of dull rose -id
contrasted beading and draped Georg
ette, tall ar.d slender with golden hair,
and moat striking of all, quiet but ef
fervescent of personality. A series of
compositions, most notable of which
was "The Salutation to the Dawn." and
concluding with the "Missouri Walts,"
were sung by Miss La Rue in the first
half of her number.
But In the last part of her pro
gramme Miss LaRue, In smart and
wonderous coatee or jet, skirt of mar
velous peacock embroidered silk ar.d
picture hat cf rose, was in her ele
ment. She introduced a' son? new to
the Northwest. "Where Is the Boy for
Me?" Swinging steps, embodiment of
grace and the spirit of the song, but
with a touch of Charlotte Greenfield
style. Miss LaRue repeated the chorus
and made the song permanent in the
hearts of Portland.
"Efficiency," its wonders, its limi
tations and its results, were power

starred. The motif of the playlet,
which was first proc-iced at the Green
wich Village Theater, centers around
a wounded soldier who, by meana of
steel hands, brass arms and telescopic
eyes that see !n the dark is the result
of a German scientific experiment, by
which the German troops were to have
been reinforced. But, unfortunately the
steel knees could not bend to the
Kaiser though they were capable of
killing even the "aiser for the sake of
humanity. No, 14. as the soldier is
known, is admirably played by Karl
McLellan.

THE story of a woman scorned is
told in "Blind Youth," but It Isn't
the scorned woman or the process of
her scorning that we- are concerned
with in this play by Lou Tellegen and
Willard Mack. Rather is It the neat
method in which the man most con
cerned turned the scorning tables on
the vengeful lady and circumvented
her plans.
. The story is one in which Mr. Telle
gen's Idealism and Mr. Mack's realism
have been deftly woven and blended
Into a fine and interesting play in
which the Tellegen role naturally is the
pivotal one. The others are more or
less subordinated to v the big, heroic
figure of Maurice Monnier. half Ameri
can, hair trench, wno comes 10 live
in America, the home of his mother,
after he has gone down to the gutters
of his beloved Paris. It was the perfidy
of a woman which sent Maurice to the
gutters, but It was his own fine Inner
self and the awakening words of a
miserable misanthrope, himself gutter
directed, that brought Maurice from the
depths.
In the meantime the woman, married
to her elderly millionaire, had returned
to put Maurice on the way to recog
nition as thj painter he had elected
to be. He scorns her advances, pre
ferring to come to America and start
anew. His mother has remarried and
another son has absorbed her affec
tions. All this we learn in th first
act.
The second and third bring us,
year later, to Maurice's studio in New
Tork, where he is successful and happy,
although not beloved by his mother and
bis half-brother. His betrothal to his
model has Just been announced when
the bomb of the other woman of two
years before in Paris is exploded. She
has come to New Tork, maneuvered a
meeting with the shallow, spoiled half
brother, Harry, and is to marry him
soon.
The thrilling part of the story is all
in the last act when the keen alert
Maurice outwits the woman equally
clever and self-sufficient. To relate
the procedure of the outwittal would
spoil an excellent surprise and de
lightfully thrilling episode for patrons
yet to see the play.
Essentially the play is a drama, but it
has sufficient comedy lights all through
it to give it the values of a comedy-
drama. Albert McGovern has Mr. Tel
legen's role, and the handsome matinee
idol Greek-god Tellegen did not, I'll
wager, play it one whit better than .the
handsome Baker, matinee-idol, Ameri
can actor, Albert McGovern plays it.
A triumvirate of comedians assem
ble in the artistry of McGovern, as
Maurice, John G. Fee as a debonair
Parisian, and Lee Miller as an American
art student longing for his own country.
The transplanting of the Parisian to
America is delightfully characterized
by Mr. Fee. An important role Is that
of Harry, the half brother, which is
given a vigorous and distinctive, treat
ment by the new Juvenile actor, Irv
ing Kennedy. George Webster has an
impressive manner as the old artist.
Olive Templeton is admirable and satis
fying as Maurice's bethrothed. The role
is not at big one. The other woman is
played exquisitely by Verna Felton.
Geraldine Dare, too. Is picturesque as
a little girl of the streets of Paris.
Lora Rogers makes a tremendous jump
from her humorous and memorable in
ebriated hag of last week to a very
grand personage, the mother of Maurice
in this new play. Walter Corry buttles
as a butler.
The play is nicely put on and scenl
cally interesting. It will continue all
week with matinees on Wednesday and
Saturday.

IN THE midst of an artistically set
stage, the members of the Lyric
company this week are presenting "Is
Honolulu," a rollicking musical com.
edy, telling of the mishaps of Mike and
Ike, while on a Jaunt to the Hawaiian
Islands.
Into every scene of the production Is
woven much of the romance and beauty
of the islands, while Hawaiian melo
dies are the features of the musical
comedy.'
During the voyage to the Islands,
Mike and Ike become quite seasick, but
that is soon forgotten when they ar
rive there, and meet all of the beauti
ful girls. There is a sanitarium at a
mineral springs on the islands, which
is visited by two young women, whq
are heiresses, but would also like to
be widows. Tne doctor who runs the
sanitarium says he can help them out,
so when Mike and Ike arrive, feeling
too seasick to care much about any
thing, they are tricked into marrying
the girls.
Mike and Ike decide not to die, which
is not included on the ' programme
planned by the girls, so there is where
the complications begin.
There are several principals con
cerned in the unraveling of the plot,
which looks quite complicated for a
while.

THE refinement and delicacy
of American women is our
National pride. With active
minds and warm hearts, our
women feel most keenly the
trials of "hard times" and they
deserve, all the best fruits of
prosperity..
Building up LOCAL PAY

LOCAL PROSPERITY.
And the women, themselves,
who do so much buying for our
homes, can most powerfully
speed up this movement.
