Owners of orchards throughout the
Northwest bear enthusiastic witness to
the increased land hunger that has
been stimulated by the last two shows,
which were the mean of Interesting
thousands of nien and women In the
cultivation of the apple. As a result,
the Irutt is today the most widely
discussed product of farm and orchard.
I'lrect'.y and Indirectly sales have in
creased on a large scale. The show
has demonstrated to the buyer, as
nothing else could, the profits to be
lerlved from apple culture and In that
respect alone the show is a liberal ed
ucation. The exposition, made by the
apple, haa in turn brought the apple
Into world-wide prominence, and. as a
consequence, the products of the North
western orchards command tho mar
kets of Europe and Australia, as well
as America.
The exposition Is not a money-msk-Ing

Tho chief purpose of the Chicago show

NEW rOKK. Nor. 1. (Special.)
There are so many new plays go
ing on and off In New Tork that
even on who follows theatrical mat
ter systematically scarcely knows
whether the plays which opened last
week axe still on.
As may be well Imagined, the sensa
tion of the hour Is Victor Herbert's lat
est light opera. "Naughty Marietta," la
which Mile. Trentlnl. grand opera
singer from the Manhattan, la the lead
ing star. "Naughty Marietta" Is under
the management of Oscar llammerateln.
who retained the captivating singer
and also Orvllle Harrold the American
tenor. Mr. Hammersteln la still pre
senting "Hans, the Flute Player" at
the Manhattan. Consequently the Her
bert comedy Is at the New Tork Thea
ter, one of the many theaters which
Mr. Hammersteln built In New Tork.
To many In the large audience which
filled the hons on the opening night.
It was a familiar sight to see the ira
pressarlo, who haa made such a re
markaMe career. In his old place In the
box. There was much curiosity to hear
Trenttnl In an Kngllsh-speaklng part,
as she has always been the pet of the
andlences at the Manhattan. She was
greeted with storms . of applause, to
which Victor Herbert followed a close
aecond.
Chorus Typical of llamnirrstcln.
It is not exaggeration to say that no
such singers have ever appeared in
light cpera as Mist Trentlnl, as she
must now be called, Orvllle Harrold
and one or two other singers from the
Manhattan. The story is laid In New
Orleans in 1TS0, and the author la none
other than the well-known novelist.
Rida Johnson Young. The chorus Is
typically a Hammersteln chorus, which
means that It is twice the slxe of any
on Broadway. To make the charming
little accent of Miss Trentlnl perfectly
reconcilable. It must be understood that
ahe Is Impersonating a young girl of
good family who haa escaped from the
sombre surroundings of a convent to
the gay life of New Orleans when that
city was known as the "Little Paris,"
therefore French.
Marietta does not want to go home.
Indeed with true Trenttnl petulance,
that of a really spoilt child, she de
cides to do anything rather than to go
back home, and her decision leads her
to take the place of the long-lost aon
f an organ grinder. As may be ex
pected, ahe faila in love with a pirate
and she Is only saved from marrying
him through a captain, gruff, yet well
meaning, who marries her himself to
protect her. Of course, the csptaln is
good looking and he sings high C sj
easily that he would no doubt win uiany
hearts In the audience, let alone that
of an unsophisticated little girl from
the convent. There is a charming duet
for-Marietta snd her lover and there
are any number of songs which in the
course of time, no doubt, will be known
as "hits." Among these may be men
tioned a walls called "I'm Falling la
Lore With Someone," which was
arretted by uproarious applause. Ia
fact on the opening night he was com
pelled to repeat the song four times.
Contralto Role Well Taken.
Mme. Duchene. also from the Manhat
tan, has a pretty contralto role end a
very pretty song in the first act, "Neath
the Southern Moon." The singing quartet
of grand opera artists was completed by
Kdward Martlndel, who had the role of
pirate. Bras Pique, masquerading as
Etienne Unandet, the son of the Lieutenant-Governor
of New Orleans. This quar
tet makes a tremendous climax in the
finale of the last act. In which the four
voices are singing a waits against the
full orchestra and chorus.
The comedy end is cared for by Miss
Kate Ellnore and Harry Cooper. Mr.
Cooper has a number with great possi
bilities called "It's Pretty Soft for
Simon." In this he Is assisted by 12 girls
In a fetching dance. It is almost need
less to say that the music Is catchy all
the way through, since It was written
by Victor Herbert, who, of course, has
given so many delightful bits to M'ss
Trentlnl. perhaps the most successful of
which is the Italian street song, done as
only Trentlnl In the whole world could
do It. There are more high Cs be
tween the two singers than have ever
been congregated into one operatlo
score, and a noted throat specialist was
overheard to remark: "Those waves of
sound are all Hght so long as they don't
gpt C sick." i
"The Blue Bird has moved to the Ma
jestic Theater and in Its place at the
New Theater came the opening of the

which in' all dignity ejid splendor made
Its entrance with "The Merry Wives of
Windsor." It was an excellent perform
ance In the first days, with Edith Wynne
Matthlson as Mistress Ford, Rose Cogh
lan as Mistress Page and Mrs. Sol Smith
ns Mtstrcs Quickly. Louis Calvert as
Falstaff was inimitably ejnusing and in
telligent in his treatment of the role,
which 1s exceedingly dliffcult, as most of
the humor is of so vulgar a nature that
it could not be presented without a great
amount of expurgation. But the play
came to an untimely end because. Mr.
Calvert became 111 and could not con
tinue In the role, which upon one occa
sion had to be read by an understudy.
For this reason the Shakespesre com
edy was succeeded by the last play from
the brilliant pen of one of the most
aiftex men of today. Sir Arthur Plnero.
This ls "The Thunderbolt," which deals
with a subject far out of the ordinary
topics which are treated by the play
wrights of today. Pinero has a convinc
ing touch. No one who remembers his
"Second Mrs. Tanqueray" will doubt this.
He has also the quality which is of no
country and which confines tself to no
country. In proof of which is the fact
that the aforenamed play has been trans
lated for the stages of France and Ger
many and Italy and no less an artist than
Duse presented it throughout Italy.
Pinero Portray Selfishness.
Plnero himself has characterized his
last play as "an episode in the history of
a provincial family." While such an epi
sode m'ght deal with any phase of fam
ily life, "The Thunderbolt" offers a fine
study of selfish types as taken from a
family of middle-class people. Just the
average strugglers with the sort of am
bitions which average people have. The
family consist of James, a builder;
Stephen, his brother, proprietor of the
local newspaper; Rose, a married sister,
whose husband is a retired Colonel in
South Belgravta. and Thaddeuw, a music
teacher, who, with his wife, Phyllis, has
had only struggles and hardships. The
struggles, however, are not confined to
the youngest brother and his family, as
the Colonel and hla wife have social am
bitions which they cannot gratify, and
each of the brother Is growing old un
der the pressure and burden of work
which is never very remunerative.
News is received that Edward, a
brother, has died and has left a fortune
of some U00.0UO. There haa been no will
and each interests himself and herself in
the acquiring of this fortune, and It all
leads to setting forth the most sordid
and the meanest side of their natures.
Thereupon a thunderbolt falls In the
shape of a will in which every cent Is
left to an illegitimate child, Helen Thom

that Phyllis, who was with the dying

their work. The subject is, of course,

his town. The second act opens on the
long boardlng-houee table with the
regular meal time conversations, bicker
ings, etc., that go with a West Fifty-flrst-street
boardinghouse. One of the board
ers Is the advance man in a theatrical
company and he promises the landlady
a pa- "on some rainy night." The third
act reveals the parlor (with its folding

son to be ashamed of her.
"How does It look?" she says, with
all becoming modesty. He looks her over
as to size, spangles and other th ngs, and
answers: "As though the Fuller Steel
Construction Company built it."
The play abounds In such situations and
sallies and withal a very pretty story
runs through it.
Margaret Mayo also has a play on
Broadway called "Baby Mine," which has
been characterixed as "a scream.'
CAUSE OF PELLAGRA FOUND
Prince Calls Attention of Italian
Government to Discoveries.
ROME, Nov. 19. (Special.) Among
the questions to be asked of Parlia
ment one is announced addressed to the
Minister of the Interior by Prince Te
ano. Deputy for one of the Rome con
stituencies, asking whether the atten
tion of the Government haa been given
to the recent discovery by an English
Commission of the cause of Pellagra
and what measures will be taken In
consequence. This question seems to
be the first public notice taken in
Italy of the matter.
The discovery is, as Prince Teano
remarks, of great importance both to
the health and the agricultural inter
ests of the country. According to the
last statistics, the number of people
affected In Italy by the disease has
been considerably diminished since
18, but the figures for 1905. stllj
show that more than 50,000 peasants
suffered from pellagra that year and
that it was the cause of 2357 deaths.

TALKS ON TEETH
and ALVEOLAR DENTISTRY
It Emancipates People From Being Plate
or Bridge Victims
The Partial Plate Nuisance
In sDite of the fact that this com
pany has steadily advertised the Rex
Dental Co.'s Alveolar Method of restor
ing teeth without the aid of plates,
there are thousands of people in this
country today who are submitting- to
the partial-plate nuisance.
Either one of two things is the mat
terwe have not made our talks on
teeth sufficiently strong to Inspire com
plete confidence, or only a few people
read our Talks on Teem.
A partial plate should be a scarce
article at the present day.
The idea of half filling the moutn
with a niece of rubber or metal in order
to fill up a space between the teeth is
ridiculous on the face of it. The plate
never fits, owing to the constant chang
ing of the shape of the gums, conse
quently Is kept in place most of the time
with the tongue, it not havlngsufficient
suction from the roof of the mouth to
hold It in place. It also causes the
gums to recede, keeps the teeth and
gums continually sore, and in many
cases is the direct cause of pyorrhea.
There is another class of people who
continue to wear a partial plate because
they are afraid that the Alveolar Method
Is eomething which calls for a surgical
operation. They are often afraid mat
the method Is someming wni.cn cans
for boring or cutting into the gums.
whereas it is far from that.
The operation of fitting the Alveolar
teeth in the mouth and fastening them
in place is a simple one and almost en
tirely painless. When once the teeth
are in place, the wearer can defy any
body to say whether or not they are
nature's teeth or artificial.
You may be one of those who stick to
the partial plate. You may have been
considering the advisability of adopting
a newer or better plan for the restora
tion of missing teeth. This Talk on
Teeth is Intended for you, it is directed
to you. and if it shall be the means of
bringing you to our office for a free
examination of your mouth, it will have
served its purpose.
Bridge Work Won t Do
The ordinary bridgework which
dentists set in between teeth Is a poor
substitute for missing teeth. It makes
the two pier teeth do the work of sup
porting ALL those that are fastened to
tne nriage, wuica is wiuug.
If the wearer of this bridge bites on
the bridge teeth he puts a terrific strain
on the two piers, causing them to be
come loose in time and the gums to he
come sore and Inflamed, and in the end
OUT COME3 THE BRIDGE.
It is a painful piece of work from b
ginlngf to end. ,
Then, again. It is unsanitary. Being
higher in the middle than at either end.
it permits food becoming lodged under
it, which soon causes fermentation to
set In, bringing more inflammation
Bridgework is as much of a make
shift as the partial plate.
The bridge won't do.
Alveolar Teeth Where Bridgework la
Impossible.
If only your front teeth are left, say
3 or 4 or more, we can replace all those
that have been lost on both sides clear
back with perfect Alveolar teeth, whilst
bridgework would be impossible even
if you had 8 or 10 front teeth to tie to.
If you have only two back teeth on each
aide, say molars, we can supply all the
front teeth that are missing with beau
tiful, serviceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth.
This could not possibly be done by the
bridge route. Suppoee you have lost
your last (bock) teeth, two or mora
upper or lower on either side. We can
replace them with Alveolar teeth. The
bridge specialist would have to advise
a partial plate which would encumber
the mouth as well as to help to destroy
your other teeth. Where you have losl
a few teeth there are dentists who
would extract all the rest to make room
for a plate. (Where people have nil
teeth we make plates, too. And when
we do they look like they grew there.
They are scientifically and artistically
built for service and comfort as well
as beauty.) Even where bridgework 1

tiful and artistic Alveolar T?eth. And.
unlike bridgework in another respect,
it is practically painless. No boring or
cutting Into the gums, nothing to he
dreaded. Now, then, prices being equal,
which would you choose?
Carina; Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up by other dentists as in
curable, is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, but we can do any
thing that Is possible in dentistry, and
what we do i always of the very high

cannot call. We have samples of our
work to show at all times.
