They join the "Georgia Minstrels" and in four days the show "goes broke." Then comes the big scene wherein they are found "counting the ties." Alex ander's 'lamentations as he sits on a trunk reflecting on his fatal mistake is as usual the hit of the play.

BOW GERMANY WOULD VIEW UNITED STATES-JAPAN WAR Berlin, April 23, Via London, 12.48 P. M.—The "Post" in an editorial ar ticle entitled, "The American Trou bles," casts doubt upon the genuine ness of the accident which caused the grounding of the Japanese cruiser Asama in Turtle bay, Lower Califor nia. The paper says there are two pos sible explanations of this incident. One is an effort to put pressure upon Washington to relieve the situation at Pekin, while the other is an attempt to secure a naval base in Mexico. This would touch America's sorest point, the paper says, namely, the Monroe doc trine. America must either give Ja pan a free hand in China or demand that Japan leave Mexico. This would mean war. Continuing, the paper says: "Germany would view such a war with mixed feelings. While we do not desire a victory of the yellow race over the white, nevertheless America has no claim to the love or respect of the Americans. We would be satisfied to know that this country, which first be came a state at an expenditure of Ger man blood and German energy, should, from its political condition of unsyma thetic contentment, come to know the bitter necessities of war." Auto Kills Prostrato Man Stroudsburg, April 23.—Warren Choi, proprietor of the Pauchere house, accompanied by Associate Judge Quick of the Pike county court, driving an auto, ran over Henry Lehde and killed him.

CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medi cines. Some truly scientific physicians recog nize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated. Here's an in stance: "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who had a sum mer cottage near me —a speicalists from N. Y., and, as a last hope, sent for him. "After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then aii my stomach became strongor to eat more. "I kept at it and gradually bfegan to have color in my face, memory became clear, where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. So I steadily recovered. "Now after a year on Grape-Nuts I weigh 153 lbs. My people were sur prised at the way I grew fleshy and strong on this food." Natne given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Senator Endsley said this morning that the bill will receive due considera tion by 'hia- committee early next week, and it is probable that if a hearing is asked by either side it will be granted. He thinks, however, the Senate commit tee is pretty well informed on the measure, as its members sat with the House Committee on Railroads when the bill w»s given a public hearing, aud were posted on all of its provisions. In the event of the bill being re ported out next Tuesday it may be considered on final passage on Tuesday of the following week. The railroad trainmen have their committee constantly on the alert and will endeavor to kill the bill in the Senate. Tho railroad companies are just as watchful, their representatives being in the Senate tvery day. FOSS WINS ON STOCKS Ex-Governor Said to Have Made More Than $400,000 Boston, Mass., April 23.—Eugene Noble Foss, three times Governor of Massachusetts, long known as a shrewd speculator, has been on the right side of the recent phenomenal rising market and is said to have cleaned up between $400,000 and $500,000, according to current reports in State street and po litical circles. Politicians see in his big winning the reason why Mr. Foss has practical ly decided to take another plunge in the political arena, this time as a can didate for the Republican- nomination for Governor on tho prohibition issue. When the ex-Governor is "flush" he lias never hesitated to spend money in politics for his own political benefit, although he never gave very lavishly to the Democratic campaign funds. Mr. Foss said last night that all his stock transactions are entirely private. "The public is not interested in this matter,'' he declared.
