ORRINE DESTROYS
LIQUOR HABIT
Keen interest in Orrine, the scien
tific treatment for the drink habit,
now on sale at our store continues
unabated.
Yet this is not surprising when it is
realized that it can be given secretly
nt home with absolute confidence, and
that it quickly destroys all desire for
whiskey and other intoxicants. Orrine
lias saved thousands of drinking men,
and is sold under a guarantee to re
fund the purchase price if, after a
trial, it fails to benefit.
Orrine is prepared in two forms: No.
1, secret treatment; Orrine No. 2,

PHOTO GROUP FOR
CITIZEN COMPANY
Heading Veteran Firemen
Bring Handsome Present to
Their Harrisburg Hosts
I During the great firemen's celebra
[ tion at the time of the convention of
, the Pennsylvania State Firemen's As
sociation in this city in October 1914,
. the Citizen Fire Company, No. 3, had
fifteen companies in its division of the
parade, and among the organizations
; hospitably entertained by them was the
•! Veteran Firemen's Association of Head
ing, which is made up of men who
have served many years in the differ
ent companies of that city. The Veter
i ans had with them at that time an old
hand pumping engine built in 1790,
and which won a prize as the oldest
apparatus in line. After returning home
j the Reading firemen started prepara
i tions for a testimonial to give to
their hosts in Harrisburg, and on Sat
. urday evening about fifty members of
i the association brought to this city a
framed group of photographs, which
was presented to the Citizen company.
The meeting was called for 8 o'clock,
but on account of the Citizen men
being in service at the Central Iron
Works fire it was 3 o'clock when the
affair was started.
Chief Marshal Jacob Ducer in the
opening address stated the object of
their visit and introduced Sibert L Wit
man. a member of the Veterans, who
eloquently tendered the present to the
Citizen company as a tribute of ap
preciation. President Charles P. Meek
received the gift and thanked the
Heading firemen on behalf of his com
pany. Addresses were also made bv
Charles H. Khman, assistant chief of
the Reading fire department, and an
old-time mend of the Citizen mem
bers, and William W. Snyder, who had
charge of the preparation of the group
picture. K
The group consists of more than fiftv
cabinet-size photographs and in the
center is a picture of the old hand en
gine. The frame is gilt, ten inches deep
and five by seven feet in size. It is
a beautiful work of art and will be
placed on exhibition.
\esterday the visitors were taken
about the city and surrounding coun
try, through the parks and along the
river drive in automobiles. They were
quartered at the Kagle Hotel during
their stay and returned home last even
ing. Those in the party were: Jacob
Ducer. Jr., William W. Snyder, Charles
H. Khman, Sibert L Witman, John H.

Cohan and Harris' production, of Max
Marcin's powerful drama. "The House
of Glass," comes to the
"The House Orpheum, Wednesday,
of tilaw." matinee and night.
Much of the success
that has come to this play is unques
tionably due to the finished acting of
the well-balanced cant engaged in visu
alizing its several roles.
That "The House of Glass" Is one of
the biggest plays seen on the New York
stage in years is but to voice the opin
ion of everyone who sees it. The story
it tells is so genuine, so human, so per
fectly natural that it might be a page
torn from real life.
Travel certainly makes the world
seem bigger. Every trip opens another
window through
Travel With Hone which to view life.
And since Lyman
H. Howe's Travel Festival, which
comes to the Orpheum. Friday and Sat
urday. with daily matinee, is the only
attraction before the public which
serves as a superb substitution for ac
tual travel. Its great vogue and popu
larity are surely well deserved. It im
parts ever new and wider angles from
which to view the world on each semi
annual engagement. Without these
■changing scenes of beauty, life might
become like an old violin hung upon the
wall. We lose the music that is in u.
We need to be restrung—to be put in
tune with new environments.
"The Simp." a new American comedy
by Zellah Covington, will he the offer
ing at the Orpheum, Mon
"The Simp"' day evening. October 23.
The play will be present
ed by Clarence W. Wlllets, and Is the
llrst of several New York productions
scheduled by this newcomer in the pro
ducing field. "The Simp" is headed di
rectly for New York, and a Broadway
theater. The company that will appear
in the comedy in this city is the especi
ally selected cast for New York, and
the entire New York production will be
used. See "The Simp" and have an
evening of wholesome merriment. Mr.
Covington, who wrote this piece, also
wrote "Some Baby," which is all the
guarantee needed for the cleverest of
his latest comedy.
These days vaudeville devotees ars
in favor of a show that contains lots of
comedy. Such a bill can

this week, which is
headed by Ely's Revue, a singing com

be an artist along this line of work.
Grouped around this attraction are:
Dunlay and Merrill, man and woman, in
a comedy singing and talking act; Al
bert White and company, presenting a
clever sketch entitled, "It Happened in

in a flirtation skit, and Redington and

Newsboys' Association to the concert in
a body
Mr. Amato was himself a poor and
ragged newsboy. One day a friend
gave him a ticket to a concert, and then
and there was born his great desire to
be a singer—a desire that has made
him the premier baritone of the world,
a soloist of the great Metropolitan
Opera Company, entertained by royalty
and the possessor of a great fortune
earned through the medium of bis gol
den voice. So it happens that where
ever Amato goes the newsboys of the
town are invited to hear him. It is
said that Amato hopes that front among
them may come another such as he. At
all events when Mr. Hand extended the
invitation at the meeting Friday night,
the newsboys were so well pleased they
elected him a member of the associa
tion.
Amato is one of the highest-priced
talking machine singers and his records
are known and loved by thousands who
