Investment, Not Expense.
A large and successful advertiser says
that when he first went into business he
regarded newspaper advertising as an
expense which was important, but not
essential to success, but a little exper
ience taught him to view regular and
systematic advertising in the most wide
circulated newspapers as an investment
or as a necessary part of the capital put
into his establishment. "Like any other
safe investment," he says, "the news
paper 'ad' brings in profits, and without
It an enterprise falls short of its possl
l btllttes."
THEATRICAL.
Laughter, ranging in degree from a
ripple to a cyclone, is provoked by the
Ray's Big Eastern "A Hot Old Time,"
which will be the attraction at the
Grand tonight. The mirth it arouses is
the result of a genuinely original and
humorous story told with a vivacity and
spirit that never lags, but, on the other
hand are steadily cumulative. Merri
ment is constant from the first line
spoken until the tangle is finally
straightened out in the third act, and
during that whole period not a dull
moment or a superfluous speech is to
be found. A commendable feature of
"A Hot Old Timo" Is Its perfect freedom
from anything that is objectionable in
either lines or situatloni. Its original
music is generally whistled wher
ever it has been heard, and the scenic
investiture is elaborate. This season
the company is headed by that famous
comedian, Dan Gracey, and clever Ada
Burnett. They are supported by such
well and favorable known artists as the
Gladstone sisters, Pearle Revare, Kate
Frayer, Thos. Kennett and a large en
semble of pretty and talented singing
soubrettes.
X X X
"Grimes' Cellar Door" is a farce come
dy which is destined to live for some
time yet, if it is kopt to the standard at
which it was presented here Wednesday
evening. Mr. Mackie and Miss San
ford, who have made the play famous,
have surrounded themselves with a
good company of specialists. The tramp
work of Billy Howard was excellent,
the dancing and singing of the LaVar
sisters won deserved applause and Miss
Nellie Baker captured the audience
with her monologues.

A lecture will be delivered at the

Edward 11. Frye, in his monolog,
"Across the Atlantic," will appear here

Everybody enjoys a little recreation,
and there Is nothing like a good laugh
to dispel dark Illusions and drive dull
care away. If you will attend the
Grand next Wednesday evening you will
spend two and a half hours of hilarious
enjoyment In witnessing a performance
of that sparkling comedy, "Side
Tracked." Catchy music, bright spe
cialties and ludicrous situations ara the
order of things, from start to finish.

Action Taken on the Mat
ter Last Evening.
Large crowds attended last evening's
special meetings of Scranton select and
common councils, held to taka action on
tha recent order of the Scranton Rail
way Company abolishing Its systems of
transfers. The attorney for the, com
pany was present and suggested that a
committee of councils be appointed to
wait upon the officers of the company
and that pending the report of the con
ference committee the campany will
continue to Issue transfers.
This evidence that the company Is
weakening before public clamor had no
affect on councils. Select Councilman
Vaughan Introduced a resolution In
structing tha company to continue Its
system of transfers, and if It refuses
directing the city solicitor to take steps
to have the company's franchlsss re
voked.
"There Is no noed for a conference
committee In this case," said Mr.
Vaughan. "We have a contract with
this company which It telle us in the
most insulting and outrageoue manner
It will Ignore after January 18. There
Is nothing for us to do but protect our
Interests and the way te do that Is to
pass this resolution."
The resolution passed both branches
of council with a rush.

Persons who suffer from Indigestion
can not expect to live long, becaase they
can not eat the food required to nourish
the body and the products of the undi
gested foods they do eat poison the
blood. It Is Important to cura Indiges
tion as soon as possible, and the best
method of doing this Is to use the pre
paration known as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. It digests what you eat and re
stores all the digestive organs to perfect
health. Grover's City drug store.
