    King, Millionaire Monkey, at Majestic Tomorrow
IS 7 ! : WSSM"
....
Doesn't it sound odd to read about a monkey being* discharged from a
hospital? And a hospital where millionaire human beings go for treatment?
Well, that is what recently happened to King, the millionaire monkey.
Since he was supposed to appear at the Majestic Theater a few weeks ago.
and disappointed at the last minute because o! sudden Illness, King has
been in a New York hospital, in a private room right next to the room oc
cupied by a Wall Street broker!
There are very few monkeys living who have sufficient prestige to gain
admission to a fashionable hospital, but King is both famous and wealthy
;«nd when sickness came the best was none too good for ivine:. Me was able
to get the best because his vaudeville salary is so big that show people call
him the millionaire monkey, and also because he is known as the monkey
with the human brain.
King is well again and comes to-morrow to fulfill his belated engage
ment at the Majestic. He will show in his art why he is given credit for
having a. human brain. King is the only monkey on earth who rides and
manages a motorcycle.—Advertisement.

a fairly open secret that Colonel
Roosevelt made instant preparations
for raising a force of about 12,000

Puts Another
Face on It
Many a man jauntily takes his cup or two o{ coffee at a
meal and declares that coffee doesn't hurt him!
But wait until the poisonfius drug, caffeine, in the coffee
begins to show is cumulative effects, and puts a different face
on the proposition.
It's a fact anyone can verify that caffeine hardens the
arteries brings on premature old age, and sallows and
wrinkles the skin. Some of the signs are headache, irrit
ability, biliousness, heart flutter, sleeplessness dizziness,
"fag," and so on.
The way out is to quit coffee, and for a pleasant, health

Roosevelt picked a man long known to

months after the declaration of war
he and his men would be in Flanders.
"To foreifq that dream has been one
of the bitterest disappointments of
his life."
