For the ninth engagement of the In-

another seven all-star bill Sunday and
Monday, matinees and nights, Oct. 22nd
and 23rd, headed by Victor Morley, in

Either one of the other six acts could

there is a great variety to choose from.
First, a black-faced trio, who have been

Woman Fashion Show, with a wealth
of handsome gowns and a voice that
thrills her hearers; three sisters who
can dance and are beautiful to look
upon; a pair of comedy acrobats, that
are artistic and are funny; a comedy
playlet that is rich with comical situa-

poses only, and a youthful pair of
dancers that might well be the feature
of a less pretentious offering.
Taking the bill all together, there
is no dull moments, but bright and

Bliss, Ok., Oct. 19.—Ranchmen from
several counties, reinforced by numer-
ous sheriffs, waited at daybreak for
some sign from the ravine where it
was hoped that the robbers, in the
hope of liberty, would make a dash
, and precipitate a fight in which the
sure shooting men of the range were
confident none of the outlaws would
escape. •
Whether or not the robbers are sup-
plied with stolen funds to assist in
their escape should they evade their
pursuers will not be known until the
contents of the express and mail cars
ransacked by them have been checked
officially. Perry Norman, express mes-
serger, was killed by the robbers when
he showed signs of fight. The ex-
press safe was demolished by an over-
charge of lexplosive, so that much of its
contents was destroyed. Rumors said
the bandits obtained $10,000, but this
was based on conjecture.
Railroad men and sheriffs of long
experience in this territory said the
robbery was one of the boldest they
ever knew and except for the bungling
work in opening the express safe, prob-
ably would have been ascribed to old
timers. Six men participated in the
robbery, flagging the train at a deso-
late spot north of Bliss on the 101
ranch.
The robbers worked briskly, two
guarding the train men who had been
forced to uncouple the engine, express
and mail cars and run them a. short dis-
tance down the track, two others
standing guard at the rear car while
the remaining two attended to the
treasure safes. Their work complet-
ed, the outlaws fled in automobiles.
News of the robbery was not received
until the train reached Bliss, although
the shooting of Norman attracted the

Athens, Tuesday, Oct. 17.—Via Lon-
don, Oct. 19.—The Greek government
today gave out the following commu-
nication:
“The chief of the allied naval forces
has advised the government that for
reasons of security allied (entente)
troops have been obliged to proceed
with measures for the control of all
the police of the state, for which de-
tachments have been disembarked at
Athens and at Piraeus for control of
the police and as a protective meas-

The Greek government further states
that there is no evidence at present of
any wider extension of the landing of
Bad Temper from Bad Liver.
You can generally blame your grouch
on a lazy liver. Liver ills are back of
coated tongue', bad breath, biliousness
and muddy, sallow complexion. Insuffi-
cient flow of bile leaves impurities in
the liver which poison the entire sys-
tem. Po-Do-Lax is Nature’s remedy.
It stimulates the activity of the liver,
increases the flow of bile, and by its
laxative quality carries off the waste
matter and clears the complexion. At

Episcopal Convention Considers Revi-
- sion of Book of Prayer.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis, Oct. 19.-—Line by line, the
clergymen and laymen composing the
house of deputies of the general con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
church are going over their prayer
books in an attempt to revise and en-
rich it to meet demands for a greater
freedom in the service.
Discussion of the enrichment by the
addition of new prayers was on the
calendar today, the fourth day on
which the house met as a committee
of the whole to consider the report
of the commisison on the prayer book
submitted after three years of study.
Members are discussing every point
in the proposed changes, it being ex-
plained that some of the deputies fear
that any scheme of revision might in-
volve doctrinal changes. It is expect-
ed that the recommendations of the
commission to correct mistranslations
of holy scriptures will be discussed to-
day. One proposal is to change the
word “damnation” in several collects
to “condemnation.”
A proposal to amend the church con-
stitution to authorize the creation of
dioceses of negro churches under ne-
gro bishops and to remove negro par-
ishes from the supervision of the
present white diocesan heads is pend-
ing in the house of bishops, the upper
house of the convention, and it is be-
lieved final action will be announced
today.

Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 19.—Figures
showing that at least 15,000 women die
each year in this country from causes
connected with childbirth; and that
about 7,000 of these die from childbed
fever, were quoted by Dr. Grace L.
Meigs, of the federal children’s bureau,
Washington, in a paper on the care
available for the mothers in rural
communities, at the opening session of
the seventh annual meeting of, the
American Association for the Study
and Prevention of Infant Mortality, to-
day.
“This fact,” she said, “which will be
brought out in a bulletin soon to be
published by the United States chil-
dren’s bureau, will be a surprise to
many people. Deaths from these
causes have long been known/ to be
largely preventable; it is not realized
that they are not being prevented.
“Unlike the death rates of other pre-
ventable diseases which show year by
year a steady fall, the death rate from
conditions connected with childbirth is
not decreasing. For 13 years the ot-
ficial figures can show no fall in this
rate; during the same time the death
rate from typhoid fever has been cut
in half, and that of diphtheria de-
creased to less than half. These facts
show that there is great need for im-
provement in the care of women at
childbirth in this country. We know
that women living in country districts
in the United States have in general
very inadequate care at this important
time. This is partly because in many
such places pioneer conditions still
prevail; in the bare struggle for exist-
ence many necessities of life have to
be foregone. It is also due partly to
the fact that in the country, as every-
where, people fail to realize the ex-
treme importance of good care at this
time of woman’s life; the fact that
the money expended for adequate care
at this period is the most necessary
part of the family budget.
“The children’s bureau has, during
the past year, made studies of the care
of women at confinement in rural dis-
tricts in two states; a northern state,
Wisconsin; and a southern state, North
Carolina. These studies show widely
varying conditions; both, however,
show that in many regions women in
the country have no skilled supervi-
sion during pregnancy, no nursing care
before or at labor, no attendant at
confinement but a neighbor or rela-
tion. Women die, or become perma-
nent invalids, through such lack of
care.
"A county unit plan may be worked
out including a county hospital pro-
viding for normal and complicated
cases of confinement; nursing service
with supervision of women during
pregnancy and nursing service at con-

Queen Theater.
One of the old romantic, beautiful
love stories of the sort that warm the
heart and make the whole world kin
is “The Vagabond Prince,” showing at
the Queen theater today. This is a
new Inco-made Triangle, and the
princely prince is well and handsomely
portrayed by H. B. Warner, Mr. War-
ner’s part is a thinking one rather than
active. As the prince living in state
and loneliness he yearns for freedom
and romance of the peasants, but is re-
strained from expressing these long-
ings. Even when he breaks over the
bounds and becomes the “beloved vaga-
bond,” he cannot lose the knowledge
that he is masquerading, and his ac-
tions are interpretative of his deeper
thoughts. On the other hand, Dorothy
Dalton as Fluffy, the little dancer and
model of the Bohemian world, is all
action dynamic and joyous, and Miss
Dalton gives to the character all of
her- talent and personality, with the
result that she is as sympathetic a fig-
ure as is the lonely prince himself.
Roy Laidlow deserves much praise for
his portrayal of the wandering artist
who “put the world in his pocket,”
anc the remainder of the cast is fully
up to the standard set by the prin-
cipals.
It is after his meeting with the wan-
dering artist that the prince feels he
can not longer endure the restraint of
his father’s castle, and in the night he
goes on the road in response to the
call of his heart for freedom and ro-
mance. As a common tramp he reaches
San Francisco and the Bohemian quar-
ter. And here in a strange manner he
meets Fluffy, who in turn leads to the
wandering artist again. Pledging him
to secrecy, the prince lives among them
as a dago sailor, and a pretty love
grows between him and Fluffy. At the
wedding, when the ceremony has com-
menced, comes the climax, but the end
is a surprise and a great and pleasing
departure from the usual one.

nection and failed to arrive, and now

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks’ use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first—yes—but
really new hair—growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance, an incomparable lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and prove that your hair is as
pretty and soft as any—that it has
been neglected or injured by careless
treatment—that’s all—-you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
you will just try a little Danderine.

Mexico City, Oct. 19.—It became

officially, that the elections for the
presidency of the Mexican republic
will be called in the latter part of
January or early in February of the

held. Presidential and congressional
elections at the beginning of 1917
would mean that the president would

ing was confided the mission to go
through the world and teach all na-
tions, has fully realized your worth,
and by her approbation of your rules
and constitutions in this year of jubilee
sets her sanction upon them and ad-
mits you as a full-fledged, fully
equipped battalion into the army of
Jesus Christ.
“Laudetur Verbum Incarnatum!
Praised be the Incarnate Word in this
blessed year of jubilee. ‘Go, teach all
nations!’ was His parting mandate.
Yea. teach them there is something
better, something higher, something
nobler, something more substantial
than the fleeting -vanities of a sordid
world. Teach them to to look upward,
to follow Me—the Truth, the Way, the
Life—through suffering and trials, to
that land where the tear is wiped away
and the joys eternal reign supreme.
■ “This command you heard, and
through fifty cycles you have woven
a chaplet of noble efforts that today
are crowned with soul-stirring jubila-
tion. The church militant to which we
feel honored and proud to belong has
ever carried out this behest, and in
every age, in every clime, whether
there at the frozen North amid the
tumbling blocks of ice or along the
line of the equator, amid the wigwams
of our Western prairies or the adpbe
huts of uncivilized lands, the arid
plains of the Americas, the jungles of
an India or the forests perennial of an

in its plastic form and instil into the
youthful soul lessons of truth and jus-

despised remnants of a once noble
womanhood.
“I see her the devoted daughter of
the city’s outcast, and over her bowed
head is raised the palsied hand in
grateful benediction.
“I see her the fond mother of th©
orphan, who finds hope and courage
in her entrancing smile.
“I see her the incarnation of divine
love, the dispenser of charity to suffer-
ing humanity, her big, sympathetic
heart the refuge of the diseased, the
consoler of the afficted. Ah! the Sister
of Charity, the good Samaritan worthy
of the word Incarnate who bears that
sweet name! . She feeds the hungry,
gives drink to the thirsty, visits the
sick, consoles the suffering. A friend
is she to the friendless, a counselor
to the wayward and the erring, a
mother to the motherless. There she
is ’mid the smoke of the battle and the
clash of arms, ’mid shot and shell and
cannon’s deafening roar—there where
bloody war strews the ground with
mangled victims. There she is where
pestilence calls for hecatombs. There
she is wherever the banner of peace
is unfurled or the flag of
war flutters. Where she is there
you find God, sprightliness in her step,
peace in her heart, joyousness in her
countenance, a supernatural atmos-
phere surrounding her as she moves
around doing good.
“Ladies, I speak the gratitude of our
city and our state and I voice the sen-
timents uppermost in the hearts of us
all, whether members of that church
of which you are such honored daugh-
ters, or of those other churches that
one and all realize your sterling worth.
“We congratulate you, consecrated
daughters of the Catholic church, mar-
tyrs of holiness and charity, spouses
of the Incarnate Word; we congratu-
late you upon your successful comple-
tion of fifty golden years of noble
work. You have not been unworthy
of your sublime vocation. May you
draw inspiration and courage from that
past for the future that flows from
eternity and comes fraught with such
solemn issues for the country we love,
the church that is our mistress and
our queen, Him who is our Captain
and our King.” * * *
Having left at 2 o’clock this after-
noon, Bishop C. Van de Ven of Alex-
andria, La., and a number of visiting
Catholic priests, attracted to Galves-
ton this week to attend the' golden
jubilee celebration of the Sisters of
Charity of the Incarnate Word, are
visiting the semirrary at Laporte. Bish-
op Gallagher of Galveston and mem-
bers of the local clergy accompanied
the visitors. The party went by In-
terurban to Webster, whence automo-
biles conveyed them to Laporte, where
they were guests of Very Rev. J. M.
Kirwin, head of the seminary.
This is the laist day of the two-days’
celebration of the golden jubilee of
the Sisters of Charity of the Incar-
nate Word, at St. Mary’s infirmary.
Today is Memorial Day and the ob-
servance was begun this morning at 9
o’clock with a solemn requiem mass
for the deceased isisters, friends and
benefactors of the congregation. The
Right Rev. C. Van de Ven of Alexan-
dria, La., was celebrant, and Rev. D.
J. Foulkes, S. J., of Galveston, preached
a sermon, extracts of which appear be-
low. Rev. J. T. Nicholson of Cheyenne,
Wyo., was deacon of the mass this
morning; Rev. J. B Gleissner of Bryan
was subdeacon, and Rev. M. S. Chataig-
non of this city was master of cere-
monies.
At 5 o’clock this afternoon there
will be solemn bendiction of the
blessed sacrament. The banquet for
the doctors, which will occur at 7
o’clock tonight, will conclude the gold-
en jubilee celebration.
Father Foulkes took his text as fol-
lows:
“And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth
year—for it is the year of jubilee!”
He said:
“Those words, taken from the Book
of Leviticus (xxv, 10), explain the pur-
pose of this festive gathering. They
