It' you’re troubled with the Gout
Just spend two-bits for Saur Kraut
Then if you think you’re feeling worse
Spend two-bits for Weiner Werse
Or if your heart is all a quiver
Take home a couple pounds of Liver
Then if you still feel kind of Bum
Then we might prescribe a nice Beef Tongue
But if you’re troubled with sharp pains
Try Meadowbrook Eggs & Scrambles Brains

Just tell your troubles to the writer
And anything he might suggest

LONDON PRODUCERS
DRAW PROFITS FROM
POPULAR OLD PLAYS
LONDON, Apr. 28.—Revivals in
the theatrical world of London came
in with a rush early this spring and
held the stages of various houses
until they were pushed into the dis
card late in the season, when a
number of brand new plays appear
ed from the other side of the At
lantic. In the eyes of theatrical
managers,* revivals have been the or
der of the day for some months for
a number of reasons. There has
been no dearth of new plays, oper
ettas and other pieces to select from,
aver the managers, but in bringing
old favorites to life again it has been
found that they can always be count
ed upon to take fairly well with
the theater-going public, and in ad
dition save little fortunes so far as
royalists are concerned. They also
spare the managers’ pocketbooks in
many other ways.
“Revivals this year, in one case a
manager went back 150 years for his
material, might be called stop-gap
pieces and were brought out to fill
certain houses which otherwise would
stand idle while new pieces were in
the course of preparation. It is near
ly always safer to put on a favor
ite of some years ago, say the Lon
don managers, especially where a
play is desired for a short run, than
it is to attempt to introduce a new
piece, drama, operetta or otherwise.
“The Merry Widow” early in the
season started the ball rolling, so far
as revivals were concerned, and with
| in a few weeks was being whistled
over all the town, just as it was 16
years ago when brought here from
Vienna. Then came “The Dollar
Princess,” which had its first per
formance here in 1909 when it ran
for 428 nights.
“Sumurun,” which, to some extent,
set the fashion which in after years
brought forth the Eastern pageantry
and magnificence of such prdouctions
as “Chu Chin Chow,” was another
revival, this having its premiere
here some 14 years ago. “Chu Chin
Chow” is perhaps the most success
ful play ever produced in London,
having run continually at His Majes
ty’s Theater for more than five
years, and since has been playing the
provinces and the London suburbs
without a let up. ‘‘Charley’s Aunt”
and ‘‘It Pays to Advertise” are oth
er successes which still hold the
stage in the suburbs and boroughs
of the English metropolis.
But of the dives into the pa4t to re
vive old favorites, by far the most
successful play this season has been
“The Ware Case,” which drew splen
did houses for months. A list of the
others includes “Old Heidelberg,” “A
Kiss for Cinderella,” and “The Thief.”
And then too, there is Sheridan’s
“The Rivals,” which was first pro
duced in London at the Covent Gar
den Theater in 1775. i
As a whole London appears to take
kindly to all the revivals of other
years for a short time, at least.
England To Aid Emigrants

tion agreement between the Over

Insect Pests Every Ready
to Crash American Shores
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Apr. 27.—
Millions of dollars now are being
spent annually to control plant dis
eases and insect pests in this coun
try, and prevent the entry of others
from foreign lands.
The federal horticultural board of
the department of agriculture, which
has this work in hand, estimates that
from 85 to 90 per cent of the real
insect pest problems are due*to for
eign importations. Prominent among
the insects are the gypsy and brown
tail moth, which entered from Eu
rope; the Japanese beetle, from Jap
an; the cotton boll wreevil, from Mex
ico; the European corn borer, from
Europe, and the San Jose scale, from
China.
Quarantines within the United
States itself are maintained, prohib
iting, for instance, the movement of
cotton from isolated points in Texas,
where infection has been found; corn
and broom corn, sorghums and Su
dan grass from infested areas in
Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Michigan, on account of
the European corn borer; and in
certain counties in New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware, because of
te Japanese beetle, wrhich affects
farm products between June 15 and
Oct 15.
An embargo on Malaga grapes from
Spain is maintained because of the
presence of the Mediterranean fruit
fly. All fruit, except pineapples and
bananas, grown in the Hawaiian Isl
ands, are shut out from the Ameri
can market because of the Mediter
ranean fruit fly and the melon fly.
Several species of Mexican fruits
are on the embargo list because of
the Mexican fruit fly.
So vigilant is the federal horticul
tural board to keep these insect pests
from American shoics that its men go
aboard incoming vessels ard i ispec-t
their larders for io. U l-jcn iruits.
A rule persuasion is usual!;* suiri

German Theatrical Managers
and Stars at Odds Over Pay
BERLIN, Apr. 28.—Fears are en
tertained of a German theatrical sea
son next year without any stars. The
leading actors have organized solid
ly in opposition to the managers’
agreement not to pay any actor or
singer more than 800 gold maiks,
about $75, a night.
Stage folks who have not ‘ arrived”
regard $75 big pay for a night’s work
and are watching the battle from the ,
actors have become unreasonable in j
their salary demands and that the j
German theaters are on the verge j
of bankruptcy. The leading actors j
say the managers are treating them t
as if they were cattle.
Pay more attention to hygiene.
Every family should have at least
one sanitary drinking cup.
Five Countries Enter
Far Eastern Olympics
MANILA, Apr. 28.—Word has been
received that the Dutch East Indies
plan to send a team to compete in
the Far Eastern Olympic games here
next May. With India entering for
the first time, the games promise to
he the most important since they
were instituted. Hitherto only Japan.
China and the Philippines have com
peted.
Fred O. England, physical director
and member of the executive com
mittee of the Philippine Amateur
Athletic Federation, which has un
dertaken the work of staging the
games, believes it is reasonably cer
tain that Java sportsmen will come
forward with the necessary funds
to finance a team, as they have evi
denced their desire to take part and
their interest in the games by asking
that the 1927 meet be held in Bat
avia.
Information also has been received
that the Japanese team will number
more than 100, and will include all
of the best athletic talent ol that
country.
JAPANESE BASEBALL TEAM

versity of Japan has accepted an in
vitation to play t.he University of
Washington baseball team here this
spring, and Washington will play re
turn games in Japan in the fall of
1926.
Prior to the. visit of the Japanese
team to the United States, the Uni
versity of Chicago nine will play it
in Japan. The Chicago diamond
stars are to play several additional
games while in Japan.
Washington ball teams have made
three trips to. Japan, winning 25 our.
of 26 games on the last tour.
TO ALL COMRADES OF THE
SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
A campaign is on to unite all
Spanish American War veterans as
members-at-large, where there is no
organization of the United Spanish
American War Veterans. There are
no camps duly organized in Alaska
as there are not enough veterans in
any one place to form an organiza
tion. Hence all veterans of the
Spanish War are requested to become
members-at-large, thus becoming as
sociated with the order and .receiv
ing the benefits of the order and in
a position to help other comrades to
those benefits. The organization is
doing good work for all veterans and
it behooves all veterans who are not
affiliated with the order to do so as
soon as possible and help with this
work. Let’s get together and show
our strength in Alaska and have a
large membership-at-large to help the
National organization. The under
signed will be glad to furnish all in
formation and blanks.
