"Nothing But the Truth" comes to the Orpheum for a return engage
ment to-morrow, matinee and night. There is a saying that "Truth is
mighty and shall prevail." We will have an exemplification of this in the
above-named farce, for it was written for the sole purpose of creating
laughter, and has prevailed, for it is claimed no play in stage history has
been the moving cause of more clean, wholesome mirth than this farce,
which set all New York laughing to such an extent that it had to be played
an entire year in that city to care for the crowds that flocked to the
Eongacre Theater. We are promised that our local stage will see not
only the play, but a clever interpretation of it by the pick of farceurs, each
one having been selected to fully emphasize the author's idea.
and soon we see, our dealer in truth,
disrupting the domestic relations of
his partner; in fact Trouble works
overtime, and reputations that have
been unblemished are smirched. Situa
tions that are absurd and complicated
pile up, all credited to truth and the
| result of the wager to foster and
cherish that great virtue from the
lips of the man who has espoused the
cause of truth, to win a wager. It
is a novel idea and so well has it been
worked out that an audience is kept
in the throes of laughter at the seem
ingly impossible to mingle snarl into
which hero has involved all those
with whom he comes in contact. It
is a clean, bright farce of well-drawn
characters, each one of which we are
promised will have the interpretation
of the very best of farceurs.

Jewish Feast of Purim
to Be Celebrated in City
The Jewish feast of I urim, one of
the minor festivals in the religious
calendar, will be celebrated to-mor
row. Purlm, according to the scrip
tural book of Esther, wherein the
tale is narrated, means "lots," lots
having been cast before Haman,
vizier of Persia, for the purpose of
deterrtining the day most auspicious
for the consummation of his plan
of exterminating all the Jews dwell
ing in the land. But the day was
fatal only to Haman's plans and to
Haman himself, for through a chain
of remarkable happenings the Jews
were delivered from their imminent
peril and the doom he had decreed
for them fell on their enemy him
self. From that year to the present
time. Jews all over the world have
celebrated the anniversary of the day
on which the wondrous deliverance
had occurred. ' '
Strange to say, Purim is hardly a
religious feast. Religious features
adjled in comparatively recent times
only accenture the essentially secu
lar character of the day. Being in
the nature of a thanksgiving festi
cal, an expression of a people's grat
itude for their ancestors' providen
tial redemption from an awful death.
It has beeh from time immemorial
a day of. "feasting and gladness, and
of sending portions to one another
and gifts to th* poor " in the media
eval ghettos It was celebrated with
all manner of merry-making, while
in modern times it has come to be
one of the days to which the chil
dren of tITR Jewish religious schools
most eagerly look forward.

be held In the synagoguge this eve

BIG PROBLEMS
Major Garrett Says U. S.
Faces Great Task in
Winning
The discourse of Major W. A.
Garrett, general manager of the
Remington Arms Company, at the
Chamber of Commerce smoker on
Saturday night, was a forerunner of
the appearance of Howard Heinz,
who Is to tell Harrlsburg about food
saving. Major Garrett was a mem
ber of the commission of railroad
executives sent abroad to study con
ditions and he gave it as his opinion
that America, must wake up and put
on more speed. ' The French, he
said, have made every sacrifice in
the way of travel, and the roads are
practically devoted entirely to car
rying troops and ammunition. Vast
numbers of women help on the
transportation. He told of severe
methods ulied for forcing food con
servation, the like of which may be
enforced here if the nation does not
respond more generously.
The Major sounded a warning
note as to what might be expected
with the conclusion of a German-
Russian peace, when he said that
it would mean the release of 1,600,-
000 prisoners. He foretold that with
this added strength Germany would
become a greater menace and
heavier burdens would fall upon the
American people.
Victory Bread Makes Its
Appearance on Tables
of All Homes in the City
Household consumers are using
Victory bread to-day, if they get
their bread supply from city bakers.
A careful canvass of the situation
this morning showed that all the
bread being sold In the city is made
of a mixture of wheat flour and
twenty per cent, of other cereal sub
stitutes.
Household consumers ought not
notice any difference in the bread
to-day and the bread of a week ago.
Pricker's new bakery has been us
ing the full twenty per cent, substi
tution for ten days. Oats and corn
flour is the substitute used. The
Standard bakeries have been using
corn flour with eighty per cent, of
wheat flour for a week, thus con
forming to. the regulations a week
ahead of time. The Schmidt baker
ies use a substitute flotir of corn,
rice and barley, having found by ex
perience, Mr. Schmidt said, that this
substitute mixture makes the best
Victory loaf.
The supply of substitute flours for
the Schmidt and Bricker bakeries is
low, It was said at these bakeries
this morning, and can not last be
yond Wednesday. Mr. Schmidt has
appealed to Food Administrator Mc-
Cormick to try to expedite cereal
shipments now in transit so that
they arrive in time to avoid shut
tle wn. Mr. Bricker is likewise taking
steps to prevent a shutdown by hur
rying shipments of his substitutes to
the city.

Officer W. S. Monroe, who lives at
1731 Sixth street, Harrisburg ,and is
so popular among visitors to the
park, said:
"My stomach had gone back on me
entirely. Was constipated and my
kidneys troubled me greatly. Then
I remembered that I had read a lot
about folks who had been helped by
Tanlac so I bought a bottle and
started talking It. Well, sir, you can
believe me or not, but the very first
doses did me good. I could feel It
sort of nosing around inside of me
hunting out the trouble and before
I had finished the first bottle I felt a
hundred per cent, better.
"Now I eat with a relish, my
stomach is in fine shape and those
bad headaches I'used to suffer with
have left me entirely and I can only
thank Tanlac."
Tanlac Is now being Introduced

Before the men's mas* meeting, in
Fahnestock Hall, yesterday afternoon,
L. E. McLachlln, general secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., in Foo Chow, China,
spoke on "American Relationship in
the Far East," describing the work
of the Y. M. C. A. and missionaries id
China. Prior to his talk, an address
was given by A. C. Shent. a Chinese
graduate of the University of Michi
gan. Shent told of the work of the
American Government, and the benefit
which was derived from our contri-
bution to the war indemnity levied
because of the Boxer rebellion. He
stated that the Chinese people would
do anything in their power for
America, because of this aid.
TWENTY-TWO ARRESTS MADE

An alleged disorderly place at 44

critical.
