Kerr loorea Sit. It also serves to bring out Fred Kerr, whose acting In the part of the good natured cynic aside from the fact that such roles slways are. popular waa the beat of the evening. Throughout the second and third acts especially Mr. Kerr really held the center of the stage without appearing to make any effort to do so. By this time Miss Burke la pretty well known to theatre goera so much o as to make any attempt at analysis of the young lady's acting not only un necessary hut unpopular. She's growing up from the child who used to attraot attention from John Drew and ahe has become aa attractive a woman as she was a girl.

Another fact that has multiplied dis satisfaction among small home owners ts that meters have been supplied to the larger water users, thus decreasing their expenses and throwing the great burden of cost upon smaller water users. Those who do not get meters are told that they are Installed only where there is danger of waste. Meters, of course, stop the waste and cut the water rents. The family that has used water aa savingly as though measured by a meter then proceeds to pay as much as though It were wasting large quantities. The department's charge, by meter. Is 10 cents a thousand gallons. That few families legitimately use more than 7600 gallons. Is shown by the fact that ing In meters, and he favored the ex penditure of money for new pipe lines and reservoirs. There ere now In use 12,4SI meters, fewer than two years ago. Seventeen Inspectors watch these meters. Information Is given from the water department that under the flat rate the Income Is uniform and certain. With meters It varies. Under the flat rate contracts may be made for that year based on that year's Income. Using the meters It would be necessary, says the department, to guess at the Income and this would be hurtful to the policy that the department be self-maintaining.

Boston, Mass., June 27. The old courthouse of Boston, whose walls often echoed with the eloquence of men Ilk Rufus Choate and Benjamin F.

For that listless, exhausted feeling and to clear up you sallow, pimply skin, you should take a good tonic to rid your system of the impurities In the blood. You will find nothing better than this old-rasnioned tonic: Get an ounce of kardene and one half pint alcohol at any drug store mix together, then add one half cup sugar and hot water to make a full quart. A tablespoonful taken before each meal will soon clear your skin of pimples, sallowness and bring back the glow of health to your cheeks. You will recover your lost appetite and en Joy the feeling of perfect health. As body builder and health restoring tonlo have never seen anytning to equal this simple home-made remedy. creased the water cost to consumers, re sult In a copious supply for every home and every manufactory without the spending of nearly $2,000,000 In new equipment. The Bull Run pipe line now in use has a -dally flow of 22,500,000 gallons. The new pipe, which It Is promised will be completed within a month and which Is costing fl, 259,782, will bring Into the city daily 45,000,000 gallons. Two reser voirs, completion of which is past due, will increase the dally storage capacity by 125,000,000 gallons. The total amount brought to the dty dally by the two pipes will be 67,500, 000'gallons. The tax payers are meeting this cost, it Is af firmed, because at places without meters the water runs to waste. Fre quently these places are near water mains. The result Is that In outlying districts pressure becomes low and the gift for you, if he desires to be accop- water supply Inadequate. With the city modaUng." a -. ,.,- . uniformly meteed, pressure would fee Mrs. H. T.: (a) To give your hair that soft, glossy sIlklnessso much ad mired, use twice a week the following nair tonic: mix one ounce mnnsoin in one half pint alcohol, then add one half pint cold water. This tonic promotes the health of the hair and scalp and keeps the hair soft and from getting stringy and matted. It stops the hair falling out ana destroys dandruff al most , Instantly. For an Itching scalp you win una it very rerresning. D) Yes, your hustmna win rincj spur- max lotion very rine to use arter shav ing. Clara S.: If you want a smooth, rosy complexion that possesses the charms of youthrulness, you must not use pow der on vour face. It clotrs ud the skin pores, enlarges them and ofttlmes caus es wrinkles. The rpiiowing recipe la much- better than powder as It does not show on the skin or run orr sc easily Dissolve four ounces of spurmax In one naif pint hot water; when cool add two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply to the skin, rubbing gently until dry. As a skin whltener and complexion beau tlfler you will find it simply grand. I find It excellent for removing and pre venting freckles, skin pimples, rough ness, sunburn and chapping In the wind. This lotion will take off the shine to your sk'ln and remove that sallow, greasy look. T. A- V.: Never shampoo with soap. The alkali In soap is too strong for the hair and will make It coarse, faded and streaky. It la also dangerous to use so-called "dry shampoos as the pow der simply clogs up thex pores In the scalp, causing dandruff and falling, spilt hairs. To make a good, benefi cial shampoo that will be absolutely satisfactory, simply dissolve a tea spormful of canthrox In a cun of hot water. ' This makes t tin lather thati removes thoroughly all dirt and excess oil. After shampooing rinse the hair with clear water. Your hair will dry very quickly and so soft, fluffy and glossr. This shampoo Is used gener ally Dy the rest class of hairdressers, as it Keeps tne hair and scalp in such splendid condition ana produces a fluf flness that lasts. It Is Invaluable for removing dandruff and scalp Irritation. You cn get canthrox at any drug store. Grace M. : To beautify a complexion mat is marrea Dy large pores, rough wrinkles, you will find nothing better to use than this excellent, greaseless- cream-jelly wnicn you can prepare at home at small expense: Stir together two teaspoonfuls glycerine, one ounce almozotn and one half pint cold water and let stand a few hours before us ing. This cream-Jelly win clear up your skin, removing an dirt rrom the pores, and In a short time your com plexion will bo clear, plump, velvety and unwrinkled. I know of nothing that will freshen up a complexion ,or that is as good a skin beautlfler as this simple preparation. A. T. X.: The presence of fuze on the chin Is extremely annoying, but If you try a delatono paste you can quick ly remove It. With' a little delatone mix some water to form a thick paste and spread on the downy growth. Let remain two or three minutes, then rub off and wash the chin. While delatone costs a dollar an ounce. It seldom is necessary to apply It more than once. Maxlne: To keep your eyea bright. sparkling and full of color and expres- lon. simpiy get an ounce or orystos at any drug store, dissolve It in a pint of cold water and put a few drops in each eye twice dally. This tonlo is verv soothing and strengthening and will soon remove all signs' of weakness, ln flsmmation and make your eves lust aa attractive and charming as ever. I find it splendid for treating granulated lids and as an aid to those who wear glasses. Mrs. T. B.: If your fat does not yield readily to ordinary flesh reducers, try this one, which I know has restored many to their former slender figures: Get four ounce of parnotis at your druggist's and dissolve It In one and one half pints hot water. When cool, train ana take a tablespoonful of the liquid before each meal. Parnotis Is harmless ana will not jnlure vour health. I feel sure you wilt aret snlen- did results from Its use and will then recommend It to tout friends. ORPHEUM BILL UNUSUALLY GOOD Emma , Dunn, Ben Welch.
