It tfells'tho story, of'riow averynlce young woman wop 'bacft to health and reason tho ; outhful heir to a British peerage, whose brain had been addled by an acci dent In 'early boyhood. The episodes of the tale are all so obvious as to require but little skill in their adornment, but tho. actors give such life as thoy may to tho points. Mr. Robert Dompster is cast for the hero role and has In his favor an unques tioned willingness to servo, but a very difficult task in his effort to mako tho role seem natural. He is very effective In tho course of a sudden outburst Just at tho end of the second act Miss Roblnc, who Is "the right princess," gives to a conventional rolo much im portance by reason of her personality. She If. effectively beautiful and sweet without being cloying, Others in the company do what is required of them In an Interesting way. I'rnniUec of the Afen. The biggest musical success of this season In New York will be the attrac tion at the Brandcls theater on December !, a, jo and 31, when the New Era Pro uuclt;g company will present "Adele."

' Henry Miller, who comes to tho Bran dels next week In his latest success, "The itainuow." is said to introduce frequently in his productions bits of detail simply ror ins own naiisraction, or sometimes for tho purpose of inspiring the actors and actresses In his companies, making them "feel the part," according to stage Plirabo. air. Millers engagement onens on New Year's afternoon and Is for five per.ormances.

Managers, In point of fact, count on meager business during the period ot holiday snooping. This week, however, there has been the normal neavv natronago at tne urnnnum. An other reason for this result Is the quality of the entertainment, headlined by the emotional actress, Blanche Walsh, whose dramatic offering is in striking contrast with the hilarious comedy features of tho bill. Truman Do Roame, with his own com pany of a scoro of high-class players, will open tho Krug theater Sunday for a three days' engagement, playing on Sun day, Monday and Tuesday with Sunday and dolly matinees. Mr. Do Roamo s repertoire for tho three days will be "The Builder of Bridges," Sunday afternoon and night; "Tho Invader," Monday after noon and night, and a dramatization of Rudyard Kipling's "The Light pat Failed" on Tuesday afternoon and night.

Bouillon Cubes Are Not Meat, but Drink "Bouillon cubes aro tho handiest form In which materials for hot bouillon, beef tea and the like are available. That is why a demand for them is growing. 'Honest manufacturers do not repre sent their cubes as 'concentrated beef tea or meat essence' having high nutri tive value and never have done so. 'These two Important points were over looked In the press matter on bouillon cubes recently glvon out to tho news papers by the Department of Agricul ture," said A. O. Boyer, district man ager for Armour and company, yesterday. "The government report says cubes aro 'valuablo stimulants or flavoring agents. That Is exactly what Armour and com pany say their cubes aro that and noth ing more. There Is no food value worth talking about In clear soups as served in good restaurants, with the grease skimmed off. "Our bouillon cubes are simply a con venience. They aro always of tho same Blie don't havo to bo measured or weighed. Ono gets a known quantity in each cube. Besides adding flavor and zest to soups, gravleii and the like, they mako the most widely UBablo cold weather hot drink known for everybody, everywhere, at any time.

Mange Cure is Attractive Until the Bill Comes In Probably the most consuming fad that has emanated from barber shops lately Is a new tonic for semi-bald heads known as mange cure. Tho tonlo has be come quite popular and even though It was originally Intended for use upon animals It has been found to have excellent cura tive qualities for dandruff and Its con comitant ailments. In extolling Its vir tues barben as a rule advlBo that it be sttud than you could buy ready made ; rubbed In with electrical apparatus, thus f nr fl2.6U. 11 Keeps pence wv anu utiui , incrcums itwouni ncwn pleasant. Pincx is a most valuablo concen tated compound of Norway white pino extract, and is rich in guaiacol and other natural pine elements which are a healing to the membranes. Other preparations will not work in this plan. Slaking cough syrup wltir Piner and sugar yrup (or strained honey) baa proven bo popular throughout the United States an1 Canada that it is often imitated. But the old, successful mix ture has never been equaled. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with thia preparation. Your druggist baa tltutlng that they apply It. Lately a young man of much dignity and pride heard of the new cure and In one last effort to save the thinning hirsute of his scalp sought out a barber who dlsnonsec the magic lotion. It felt fine, the tonl did, and he was made glad, real happy until the tentorial artist handed In hli bill. The bill hurt the proud young man for N cents la even proportionally hlghci for a spoonful of dope, that costs 50 cent a bottle, than are eggs at 75 rents pci dozen, But the young man looked In t mirror, twisted his head patronizing!) before it, mused to himself that maybe TRY OUR MANGE CURE for omtwr Pinex or will get it for you.

Wayne, tad. jakcd his barber for a receipt South Omnlia democrats arn helnr ill criminated against by Omaha democrats and tho congressional delegation at Wash- j Ington. KIihh tho rising of tho demo cratic sui of success a year ago, tool I democrats of moro or less regularity havo been preening themselves to sit In ' tho places long occupied at tho federal ( plo counter by republicans. H Is truo that, with tho exception of Jerry Howard I and ono or two other friends of tho j common people most of tho plo hunters , in this city were strong for Judsnn , Harmon who onco ran for the presiden tial nomination. In tlioeo days Woodrow Wilson was not to bo reckoned with by the local wlscmcn of the "wans cullottr " Then Wilson won and Immediately thi Harmon men organized a Wilson club of their own to compete with Jerry Howard and a fow young Wilson men. 1 After election tho old tlmo plo biters did all tho screaming and raised tho dust of enthusiasm about what "wo havo dono for Wilson," Senator Hitchcock, Congressman Lobeck and oven Secretary Bryan havo been pot-shotted with sundry j and dlverso letters from tho local lads who wanted to bo remembered when plo tlmo camo around. During tho fight on ' tho tarrlff bill and tho currency bill. It was quite easy for tho men In Washing ton to write back soulful loiters about bolng busy so busy, In fact, that thoy had no tlmo to look Into tho matter of sordid appointments. It heckled the boys who had so wisely switched from Har mon to Wilson that thoy had to stand and wait while tho republicans went on consuming plo as of old. Now tho cur rency bill Is passed and there are many who want Jobs connected with tho pny department at Washington. Thero arc candidates for Ross Hammond's Job in South Omaha, and candidates for Cadet Taylor's Job, and candidates for every thing within the gift of tho Great Com moner, Senator Hitchcock and Congress man Lobcek. There wero candidates for tho jiostofflce, but somehow the post master general said nay and that hope went out. Income Tni Job. Now tho latest Is a candidate or two for tho new position of Incomo tax col lector. Several names In South Omaha have been mentioned. Former City Treas urer John Olllln Is sold to be In a par ticularly reccptlvo mood for tho appoint ment. Others say that Barney McArdlo of Omaha wants tho placo. Anyway, there has been the usual gathering' of "'endorsements..' A few days ago George. Rogers of Omaha was down hero looking ove- the field. It Is also said that Bar ney McArdlo was down. City Clerk Tom Flynn of Omaha, It is claimed, has been appealed to for help. Democratic leaders in Omaha say that tho old Harmon boys might Just as well tako down tholr light ning rods. Moreover, tho disastrous break among local democrats a year ago has had Its effect and now tho Omaha leaders Insist that whatever candidates come out for federal Tile must have the united support of South Omaha democ racy. It Is Intimated that new timber would be most acceptable timber that would havo a pliability, so to speak, In suring harmony In tho Maglo City. As for tho Job of Incomo tax collector, It la quito cortaln that the plum will not come below Deer Park boulevard. I.ator on. it is hinted that thcro might bo a few c'erkshlps and minor Jobs for local democrats who pass tho civil servlco ex aminations. So, naturally, things look squally aa to tho plo hunters in South Omaha, even without taking Into con sideration the men who voted against Bryan at Grand Island and the men who shouted for Judson Harmon and then thought to get in the band wagon that ran direct to the pie distributing stations.
