MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry. Avoid
Exposure and Eat
Less Meat
Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex
j«osure. keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
« spoonful of saits occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism >s caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated ;n the b wels ami absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to niter this acid from the
blood an! cast it out lu the urine. The
vo*es of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are close}, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and slus;j;ish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulating:
and circulating through the svstem
eventually settling in the joints an 1
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twmge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad >alts; put a tablesjoon
ful in a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid bv
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac
tion. thus ridding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad .Salts is inexpensive, harndess
and is made from the acid of grapes'
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is use..! with excellent results bv
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.—Adv.

BACIU'S CREW AT HOME;
DESCRIBE SITS SEIZURE
New York. March 17.—How the
steamship Dacia was seised while iyiug
, the American Hag. with a cargo of'eot
; toa aboard from Galveston tor Bremen
hy way of Rotterdam, was described
yesterday by her 3J officers and sailors,
sent home, bv orders of the French for
eminent, on the steamer Rochauibeau,
which docked yesterday.
'•The Frenchman which selied us,"'
said one of the officers, "was the
cruiser Europe. We had passed three
warships without being molested before
she bore down on us.
'" Accordingly it surprised us a little
when we we.e stopped. The Europe ;
halted us at S o'clock on the night of;
February 3T. turned her searchlight on 1
us and kept it there. Presently she sent j
aboard a priie crew, an officer and sev
en men. They treated the Dacia's offi
cers and sailors courteously and took
us into Brest, about 40 miles away." ,
Mosf of the party said they did uot '
know why they were sent pack. by j
whom or who paid their fares. They
were under orders, they said, not to
talk till after they had report®* te Kd
ward X. Breituug. who bought the Pa
cta, then a German steamship, tuni
changed her to American registry.
It was stated last night that E.
Xovello & Co. had brought suit in the '
N'ew York Supreme Court as minority j
owners of the Dacia against Mr. Brei- j
tung to recover rheir alleged investment
of 40 per ceut. of the value of the
ship.

day in the lighting on the French front,'
according to cable advices reoaive i,
yesterday. Mr. Breese was an officer
in the Koyal llorse Guards and it was
while in action vviui his regiment,
which participated in the recent Brit

Mr. Breese leaves a widow, who was
Miss .luiia Fish, daughter ot' Hamilton
Fish, the banker, and two children.
Lady Alister lunes-Ker and the Couut
ess of Ancaster are sisters of Mr.
Breese.
Mr. Breese, who came of an old Xew

Another secretarv of tiie American

Xew York, took a commission in the!
British army at the same tim.» as Mr. •
Breese. A report was published that
Mr. Fowler had also been killed. This
is erroneous. Mr. Fowler is still in

"Under Cover"
Widespread notoriety, and in some
cases criminal prosecution, has follow
ed the many recent cases of attempted
evasion of j-ayment of duty upon
articles 'brought into this country by
wealthy and prominent Americans re
turning from abroad and these alleged
"society smugglers'" have provided
one of the hardest problems the agent
of the United States secret service at
tached to the customs department have
been confronted with. This problem
forms the basis for "Under Cover,"
Boi Cooper Megrue's thrilling new
melodrama of love, laughter and mys
tery which is now playing to crowded
houses in both New York and Chicago,
and which Selwyn & Company are to
offer at the Majestic this afternoon
and evening.
The author, with an intimate knowl
edge of the workings of the secret
service in its quest of lawbreakers, has
in "Under Cover" fashioned an
adroit and consistently entertaining
narrative of a pretty young woman, of
gentle birth and high social position,
who is forced by circumstances to aid
the government's agentd i-n tracing
the person suspected of smuggling a
$200,000 necklace into the United
States. In the development of the plot
she finds not only her sister, who has
been ennueshed in a financial tangle,
but the main vhith whom she is iu love,
regarded as suspects, and she battles
to save both from the clutches-of the
law. A solution wholly unexpected
oomes at the final moment of the play
which is replete with thrills, laughs
| and ingenious surprises.—Adv.*
Etta Bayuk Speaks
"I tell you being a chorus girl isn't
what the ticket buying public think*,"
said Etta Bavuk. of the "When
Dreams Come True'' company, who
comes to the Majestic to morrow aft
ernoon and evening. "I guess I know
something about being a chorus girl
after six years in stuffy dressing
rooms with all kinds of girls, dissatis
faction and queer languages. But we
never mix with the girls unless we
want to and like them especially well.
One can take dreadful chances chum
ming with chorus neighbors.
'•Like most -girls, I was stage
struck and my one desire was to be
come an actress. My father declared
he would never hear of my going on
the stage in any capacity. After his
death I coaxed mother into letting me
join Sam Bernard's company, one of
the girls was tak«a sick or was dis
charged. and I applied for the |>osition
and got it; I had just two days to re
hearse before I went on, and, oh, what
a couple of days.
"You know when a new girl goes
into a chorus all the other girls tie
claJre they will show her a thing or two
and hate her before she ever Shows
her scared face in the unwelcome at
mosphere. at least that is what hap
pened to me."—Adv.*
Carlisle Elks' Big Frolic
The advance sale of seats for the
show to -be given on Friday and Satur
day, with Saturday niati'nee, at the
Majestie theatre bv the Carlisle Elks,
indicates that this year's visit of the
home talent actors from Carlisle will
surpass in many respects the engage
ment of a year ago. The seat sale is
large and the reports that have come
to Harrisburg from Carlisle where the
show has sold out solidly for three
days, are to the effeet that last year's
show fades materially in comparison
with the musical comedy in three acts
that the Carlisle boys are now giving.
The show consists of the latest songs
and whirlwind dances, and the gowns
WOITO by the female impersonators are
a show in themselves.—Adv.*
Maude Adams
The coming of Maude Adams to the
Majestie next Friday evening in J. M.
Barrie's charming eomedv, "Quality
Streets, brings to mind that it was in
Barrie's dramatization of his own
novel. "The Little Minister, '* tbat the
actress first stepped forward as a full
fledged star. Her success since that
time has been of wonderful volume and
most of it has been io connection with
; plays from the pen of the gifted
j scotch dramatist. Following "The Lit
tle Minister'' came "Quality Street,"
which is now 'being revived, and after
j that "Peter Pan." The latter play was
j revived two years ago and proved to
be more popular than ever. "What
Every Woman Knows'' was the next
1 long play from Barrie's pen and this
was followed by "The Legend of Leo
\ nora."
It is a fact regarding Barrie's plays
, that they possess esiduring qualities
| not to be found in the works of so
I many authors. "Peter Pan" is revived
each Christmas in and Charles
Fronman' has arranged for another re
; vival of "The Little Minister'' in
Eragland. The revival of "Quality
Street" is meeting the same measure
[ of success as did "Peter Pan" upon
: its revival. There has always been a
call for the play since it was laid
! aside, and Miss Adams has been
anxious to bring it back into the light.
It was only during her present tour
that she saw her way clear to again
present the comedy. Those to whom the
' comedy is new will find'it full of Bar
-1 rie humor and sentiment that is charm
ing. The role played by Miss Adams is
that of Phoebe Throssell and the story
deals with her love affair.—Adv.*
At the Orpheum
It has been many a long day since
las much clever talent was crowded
| into a single vaudeville offering as the
one that the Orpheum management
presents this week. This is not alone
true of the fourteen clever participants
of "Safety Finst." the gigantic music
al comedy that heads the bill, but it
is true of each supporting attraction.
I For there is pretty '' Bobby'' Smith
! and her sister, Irene, who bid fair to
j score the bigigest hit of any sister team
j that ever appeared at the Orpheum.
I Their act is original, "classy" and
i brim full of dash. They rank just as
high as either the Courtney girls or
| the Farber sisters in local favor and
deserve to. Then there is Bert Levy,
| the very interesting eartoo-nist, who
draws from the ri<licuk>us to the sub
. lime, in very clever fashion. Some
times >e will draw an excellent like
ness of some great man, he may
draw a beautiful dog head and every
now and then inject some comedy
■ vein.
His way of presenting his drawings
| is his own patent and it is easily the
j most entertaining iu vaudeville. Mr.
Levy will interest the most blaze', he
win interest the most intelligent and
stop at all the way stations. Speaking
of neat and wonderful whirlwind danc
ers, its good to think of Burns amd Ful
ton, the young man and woman who
are delighting Orpheum audiences im
mensely on this same bill.. Burns anil
Fulton are recognized as vaudeville's
most clever whirlwind dancers and
their neat, clever and pretty turn at
tests to the fact.—Adv.*
At the Colonial
The Colonial theatre in *in for two
I more days of unadulterated mirth,
! while the Five Komical lvops with
; their irresistibly funny comedv' > and
songs remain there. And three other
Keith attractions of merit are grouped ,
. with them, including Lesley and Lip
, sin, the Prima Donna and the Count; 1
, \\ opinan and Horton, singing and talk
j ing comedians, and Hazel Moran, tlite
girl with the lariats. For the Country
Store ou Wednesday evening, some
body is going to come into possession
! of a pair of chubby twins, the nicest
j little twins you ever saw in your life.
"The Song Doctors," a big musical
comedy with pretty girls, clever come
dians, special scenery, good saugs and
comedy will be the special feature of
the bill for the last half of the
i week.—Adv.*
At the Regent
To-day and to-morrow at the Re
gent Theatre, there will be paramount
program productions, by Daniel Froh
man, the great theatrical producer. We
will show Wednesday and Thursday,
May Irwin, the famous stage star, in
"Mrs. Black is Back." bv Oeorge V.
As the unfortunate but jolly
■ Mrs. Black who in haste lies to her hua
, band a-buut her age, and repents there
after al leisure, said leisure being
chiefly employed in the manufacture of
more deceptions to account for the
first. May Irwin is at her best, and
j her inimitable facial expression and ex
Icellent pantomine render her art es-
Ipecially adaptable to the screen. The
! scene following her first lie to her hus
: band, in which she learns that he never
; forgives an untruth, is one of the l'un
-1 niest situations ever embodied iu com
edy film production, and the grotesque
anguish qf Miss Irwin is side-splittlug
: Iv humorous. Of course, the fatal truth
at last comes out and the penitent,
Mrs. Black, leaps into an auto, aibout
which she understands nothing, and
runs away. Her frantic husband sees
! the machine smash, and when, after be
lieving her gone from him forever, he
; learns that she escaped injury, he so
glad to find "Mrs. Black Ts Back"
that he readily forgives her '
and the comedy ends as a comedy
should, with a laugh.—Adv. *
Byron at Ostend
At one time Ostend was a great fort
ress looking out over the North sea •
through her menacing loophole upon
the sails of Vikings. A century ago
ißyron made his memorable flight, not
from, but to Ostend, iu terror of van
dal bailiffs who were laying siege to
his mansion in Piccadilly. The poet
! made the journey to Dover in his mag- .■
| niflcent 500 pouihl coach, but had to
wait until a storm abated before the
