Treat Gall-Stones Without Knife Avoid Dangerous Operation by Using Lohmann's Gallstona to Free Yourself of Gall-Stones This medicine has been employed successfully for years. Numerous letters from grateful former sufferers attest its result-getting qualities. It is positively unfair to yourself to un dergo a painful, dangerous and often useless operation until you have found out what Lohmann's Gallstona can do for yon. An operation only removes the stones that have already formed. It doesn't correct the conditions that cause them, and therefore another operation may shortly be necessary. Lohmann's Gallstona is designed to not only remove the gall-atones (by dissolution), but to correct the kid ney, liver and bowel conditions that cause them. Hence, its remarkable success. Which will you do? Will you risk your life and many dollar* for an operation, or will you risk one dollar for a package of Lohmann'a Gall etona? Which course is the wiser? Naturally, you will prefer the lat ter so get a pnokago to-day. Don't put It off until another hideous attack of gall* ■tone collo grips you. For sale and recom mended by George A. Gorgas.

Maude Adams in "The Little Minister" Coming Next Week Maude Adams is to be seen at the Orpheum Wednesday, April 12, when she will enact Lady Babbie in J. M. Barrie's charming Scotch comedy. "The Little Minister." This is an an nouncement that should be greeted with pleasure by all lovers of the 1 heater in this city. It was as Lady Babbie that Miss Adams made her bow as a star and her portrayal of the role brought her fame and a fol lowing that has become larger each season until now she stands in a little niche in the public regard that is all her own. "The Little Minister" was the first of the Barrie plays to win great success in this country. When originally given in New York it es tablished a record for the length of a continuous run. It was the intention of the actress to give the play for three weeks in New York this season. Its success was such, however, that all her plans were upset and the play was given for over two months. Those who are familiar with Mr. Barrie's exquisite story of Scotch life will be eager to see again this play, but not any more so than the admirers of Miss Adams who had no opportunity of witnessing the work during its early runs. The comedy is staged with Miss Adams' usual good taste and care, and that it will be welcomed along with its charming star is a certainty. Urge Adoption of Social Center Idea in HVg How the community's social con dition could be improved by the adop tion generally of the social center idea on co-operative lines by the schools, the Y. M.

A report on the problem had been compiled by a committee composed of Miss Matilda lliester, Miss Mary W. Miller. Miss Emilie Lett, E. F. Weaver. Dr. H. R. Wiener and John Yates. The committee visited a number of cities and investigated. Copies of the report will be distributed among the interested social worker organizations of the community. CORONER'S BIRTHDAY Jacob Eckinger, coroner of Dau phin county for a number of years, better known as "Jake" by his many friends, received congratulations to day when he told a few he was cele brating his birthday. The news soon spread and kept him busy answering phone calls. When Health Breaks the cause is often found to be improper habits of living —principally wrong eating. Many foods, especially white flour products, lack certain necessary mineral elements, phosphate of potash, etc. These valuable energizing elements are abundantly supplied by the field grains, hut thrown out in the milling process to make the flour white. The delicious, pure, easily digestible food, Grape-Nuts made of whole wheat and malted barley, supplies all the rich nutriment of the grains—including their vital mineral elements—most necessary for both mental and physical health. "There's a Reason" Grocers everywhere sell Grape-Nuts. LADIES HERE'S A FIND OUT ALMOST ANYTHING A'o Men Allowed at Tomorrow's Matinee at Majestic When Leona Lamar Will Answer Any Questions "That girl certainly must have a thousand, eyes." remarked a demure j little woman yesterday as she left, the ' Majestic Theater.

Three hours later the popula tion of that Belgian village heard the roar of musketry in the neighborhood, loud and louder boomed the guns and then the stream of Tildonck started. First from the side streets they came, bundles on their shoulders, dog carts loaded with children and household effects, and with that struggling stream of panic-stricken Belgians was Mile. Philippine Artois, a Belgian ac tress. A few months later she became recognized in this country as a wo man well qualified to show a realistic travelogue of her experiences. Last December she returned to Belgium for new material and had occasion to meet the high officials of both military and civil authorities. Her accounts of her interviews with these men who to-day occupy the center of the stage in this awful drama are worth hear ing. It may be explained that Mile. Artois has two brothers with the Bel gian troops and it is easy to under stand her poignant regret at having to leave Belgium without knowing how they fared. Mile. Artois recites a tale of how one Belgian mother had wrapped her child in a bundle before starting on tHe journey to Antwerp, 16 miles away. Together with the bundle in which the child was sleeping were GRADE CROSSINGS CLAIM 94 DEATHS Startling Showing Made in the' Report of Commissioners' Investigator Ninety-four of the 592 persons killed on the railroads of the State in the last six months of 1915 lost their lives at grade crossings and of this number j thirty-four were occupants of automo-1 biles, according to the report on acci-1 dents on the railroads and electric ( lines of the State issued to-day by j John P.
