10 MINSTRELS WIN MUCH APPLAUSE Neil O'Brien's Entertainers Have Fine Program of Songs uiul Comedy Bring along a good inlnatral show, get the people to the thoator to enjoy the entertainment, and you'll see hundreds and hundreds in laughter much of the tlnio or heartily ap plauding the song nuntborß. Nell O'Brien and his band of minstrels at the Orpheum last night just uncorked all kinds of merriment for the audi ence and the hilarity at times almost reached a riot. The reason—lt was a fine minstrel show. * Vaughn Comfort was Interlocutor, and assisting him were somo lino comedians and vocalists. The witty repartee and the Jokes in the iirst {>art of the offering were equal to the >est offered in Harrlsburg. Some of the favorite songs were "Pray For Sunshine." "Roll on Missouri." •"Way Down in Alabama." "You'll Be There to Meet Them" —this one had a number of encores; "Only a Rose in No Man's Land" and "What Have You Done." The first part ended with a tableaux of American gunners. Four short comedy offerings were given as the second part of the enter tainment. Billy Van Allen, A. B. Rains, "Sugurfoot" Galtney. Louis Tracy, William Doran, Fred Miller and others gave a dancing story in poetry which made a big hit. It in cluded some fine eccentrie and acro batic dancing. "Meatless Day," a laughable sketch in a restaurant; '•Coontown Divorcons," a scene in a lawyer's office, and "The Big Brother Club," a musical satire, were given to close tho program. MAX ROBERTSON. THE MAJESTIC From the variety of fun offered at the Majestic the first half of the week, the bill should be an attractive one to theatergoers. Ranging all the way from the standard vaudeville act to tho most laughable picture of domestic woes, the offerings were brimful of mirth. Among the favorites on tho bill are Herbert Denton and Florence Hackett, who, in ••Poughkeepsie," present a highly entertaining and i frolicsome, if somewhat true, trav-j rsty on domestic- relations. Tho troubles of the married man are shown up in a manner that, while never humorous in real life, makes ORPHEUM THUR.

"Don't take off the khaki, just change the buttons," is a slogan that will appeal to returned and retired officers of the United States Army. s„nh, J ,°rv. < ? enera ' C r M. Clepient, of Sunburj. is. at the present time the ° ® of ncer to accept this new Scout slogan /or himself. General Clement has recently re turned from active service on the western battle front, where he was sent to study conditions of trench warfare. When he had submitted a report to the War Department, which was sent to General Pershing, Major General Clement received a personal letter from Pershing congratulating him on his splendid review of condi tions at the front. During the trouble on the southern border two years ago, General Clem ent, as Major General, was in com mand of the Pennsylvania Division, known as the Seventh Division, while in service at the border. He was in command of the Twenty-eighth Di vision at Camp Hancock last year. General Clement is Grand Com mander of the Knights Templar, a member of the Rotary Club of Sun bury, and a prominent attorney at the bar in Pennsylvania. He will become Scoutmaster of a troop of Scouts at St Matthew's Episcopal Church of Sunbury, where for thirty one years he has bpen superintendent of the Sunday school. The acceptance of a position as Scoutmaster by General Clement has made it difficult for other men to refuse a like call on the ground of multiplicity of duties, as General Clement in addition to an extensive law practice has been ohairman of the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign fur his district and has been identi fied with every war-work activity since his return from the front. There "tire at present over 442,000 Boy Scouts with their leaders. Ap plications are coming in to National Headquarters at the rate of about one thousand a day. The govern ment wants the Scouts to grow, and there would be several million of these organized boys in khaki if there \vere the men to head the troops. Re turning army men can find in this a great opportunity. The Scout uni form, in fact, is much like the army uniform and is authorized under Sec tion 125 of the Army Reorganization Law. wonderful smoke consumer, which does not prove a great success, and they are about to all their money when they hit upon the plan of taking the young woman to the Panama Ex position and have her compete for a SIO,OOO prize, which is to be awarded to the most beautiful "Doll" in the world. They go to California byway of the Panama Canal, which gives op portunity for the great "boat scene," which has been pronounced as the most elaborate ship scene ever offered the public. The last act of the play takes place on the famous "Joy Zone" at the exposition, where Doily wins the prize and is awarded the SIO,OOO.

Phina and her Picks are an added attraetioh on the bill, and this aggre gation of colored entertainers offer a song and comedy offering that is tine Still another popular number is Nlta Johnson, a very pretty young girl, and also a talented artist, in a repertoire of high-class and patriotic selections that are excellent.

Mac Alpine, Prominent New York Surgeon and Former Adjunct Professor New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital. With the divorce courts showing an ever increasing number of homes broken up often through woman's highly nervous state —with thou sands of women leaving their bus iness positions or unable to attend to their household duties because of their weakened run-down conditions, and still others whose constant'com plaining make life a burden to them selves and ttf their families, It should be especially interesting to the pub lic generally to read the opinion of such a medical authority as Dr. Ken neth K. Mac Alpine, a prominent New York surgean, member of the New York State Medical Society and for 16 years Adjunct Professor of the New York Post Graduate Medical School aitd I lospltal, who tells below how by increasing the supply of iron in the blood, women may become stronger, healthier and more suc cessful in the home, social and bus iness life. Dr. Mac Alpine says: "In my opinion practically nine out of every ton wo men who suffer from 'Nerves' can im prove their health, strength, vitality and general appearance by getting more Iron in their blood. You can tell the women whoso blood is rich in strength-giving Iron, they are the beautiful, healthy, rosy-cheeked ones, radiant with life, vim and energy— envied and sought after everywhere they go. Yet despite all that has been said and written by < physicians about the alarming iron deficiency In the blood of the average American wo man of to-day, there are still thous ands who need something to increase their red blood corpuscles and build up their strength and endurance and are either careless of their con dition or do not know What to take. In my opinion there Is nothing bet ter than organic Iron —Nuxated Iron —to help make healthy, full-blooded, beautiful women. By enriching the blood and Increating its oxygen carry ing power Nuxated Iron will often trasform the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, ami palid cheecks of nervous, run-down women into a glow of health and make them look years younger within a surprisingly short time. Dr. George F. Baker, formerly Physician and Surgeon in Monmouth Memorial Hospital of New Jersey, says: "During convalescence from SPANISH INFLUENZA (La Grippe) I find Nux ated Iron to be of great benefit."

Gardner, of the 108 th Field Artillery, son of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Gardner, Sr., 1405 Regina street, is reported to be in a Red Cross Hospital recovering from sickness after being gassed. Sergeant Gardner was reported as "If people would only real ize that iron Is just as indis pensable to the blood as Is air to the lungs and be Just as particular about keeping up a sufficient supply at all times there would, in my opinion, be far less disease resulting from anaemic, weakened condi tions. For years it was a probl lem with phy sicians how to adminis ter iron in a form that could be taken up by the system and i n crease the red blood corpus- cles without up setting the stom ach, blackening the teeth or pro duting other disorders almost as serious as the lack of Iron It self. But the Introduction of Nuxated Iron lias done away with all the objectionable features of the old mineral salts of iron and gives to every careful, thinking physician a tried and valuable prescription which he can recommend nearly every day with benefit to his weakened and run-down patients. In my opion,, Nuxated Iron Is the most valuable tonic, strength and blood-builder any physician can prescribe." In commenting upon Dr. Mac A lpine's article on "Nerves," Dr. Ferdi nand King, a New York Physician and Medical Authority, says: "Such words coming from so high a medical authority as Dr. Mac Alpine must carry great weight with every think ing person. 1 regard Dr. Mac Alpine as one of the most careful and con servative of physicians and if I had an operation to be performed on my self I know of no other surgeon whom 1 would rather have perfrom it. 1 fully agree with Dr. Mac Alpine that there can be no healthy, rosy-cheeked women without Iron. 1 have strongly emphasized the tact that doctors should prescribe more organic Iron— Nuxated Iron—for their nervous, run down. weak, haggard looking wpmen patients.
