SATURDAY, MARCH 16th
Seat sale on today at 10 o'clock.
The success of the vaudeville pro
duction given Tuesday night by the
men of Camp Greenleaf in honor of
the visiting medical experts was so
pronounced that It has been decided
to a-ive Chattanooga an opportunity
to see the rare talent of the enlisted
men of the nearby cantonments. In
the cast are many who have seen serv
ice before the glare of the real foot
lights, including the delectable Mrs.
Gregory, who was herself recently
a grand opera star. So the Lyric the
ater has heen secured for Monday
matinee and night and a, fourteen-act
vaudeville show is to make a ripple
in Chattanooga's somnolent season.
The program which has been com
pleted Included fourteen acts, all, with
the exception of a solo by the colonel's
wife, by soldier actors. In fact, one
of the striking features of the evening
is that it is to be entirely a soldier
affair. Soldiers will sell tickets, sol
diers will usher, they will supply the
orchestra and even shift scenes and
pull the curtain up and down in re
sponse to the "thunderous applause."
Matinee prices have been set at 10,
25 and 85 cents, and evening at 15, 25,
9K and a fnur at 7K rnnt KJld thf TirO-
ceeds are to be utilized to endow a
bed in a military nospuai in rance.
The seat sale Is to Start Friday.

and high standard ot excellence or me
majority of the acts. When the pro
ducers began to get their material to
gether they were surprised to find how
many real ex-profesnlonal aotors there
were who have enlisted In the medi
cal service. So the show, though ama
teur, has a real smack of the finished
professional production.
The program is to open with a con
cert bv a specially selected band from
Camp Greenleaf. This will play while
the audience is neing seniea. An or
chestra of twenty-five pieces, directed

Act one is billed ns "The Georgia

peclally tuneful negro selections by
MRS. SNYDER

LUI1G-VITA
Says She Had an Awful Cough
and Had Tried a Number of
Thing's Without Belief.
"I suffered with an awful cough for
about two years and I had three doc
tors treating me at different times but
none of them did me any good." says
Mrs. W. Q. Snyder, who lives at 817
East Hth Street, Chattanooga, Tenn.,
In a statement given a short time ago.
"I had almost given up hope that I
would find relief. Finally i-ung-Vlta
was recommended and I decided to try
it. I begsn taking the medicine and It
helped me at once. I do not cough now
as I did and I sloop better and my ap
petite Is also much better. I used to
have a fever every evening, but I do
not have It any more, and I think that
Lung-Vita stopped it. Lung-Vita is a
good medicine for bronchial troubles
and I recommend it to people suffering
with this trouble."
Have you a cough hanging on from
last winter? .If so you should break it
up. Just a bottle of Lung-Vita and
lake a few doses. This harmless com
pound will give a, relief and do it
quickly.
Lung-Vita la sold by druggists and
dealers. (Adv.)
ragtime musicians, led by Sergt. Nun
ell, soloist.
Act two Is to be J. F. Frost in his
Impersonation of the side-severing
Bert Williams. Fro, was one of the
hits of the show Tuesday night. He
Is himself a former vaudevillian and
an actor of ability. '
Frost is followed by a demonstra
tion in fancy skating said to rival the
feats of fair Charlotte, who startled
New York last winter. S. L. Lover is
on wheels rather than ice, however, buv
his whirling contortions are said
lose nothing by the change of yenue.
Fourth comes the boy who startled
Greenleaf with a demonstration of rope
throwing. L. D. Foster is his name
and he halls from the wild ana neecy,
He has even been with Jess Wlllard s
hrnncho-hiiBtlnar show and has flung
out a challenge to ride any nag, -witn
out pulling leather," in Tennessee or
Georgia.
Act five is George Parks, a baritone
soloist who has an exceptionally sweet
volee. Whitney Yeatle holds the spot
next with an impersonation of the
Scotch character actor, Harry Lauder,
and those who saw Tuesday night's
show say that if Harry can do it half
as well himself he is "some boy!"
Another professional is Walter E.
Wilklns, who has danced in the famous
Russian dancer I'avlowa's company,
and who will be seen in a whirlwind
interpretation of a bolshevikl retreat,
Eva. Tanauay is not to be overlooked,
Gilbert Squires Is said to "more than
impersonate" the lady who made "I
don't care" go down In history as a
classic.
In a star position in the center of
the bill comes Mrs. Gregory, who
ines. In tha same oleo are K. A,
Winfree, who plays the violin; Private
Frayne at the piano, and a name oo
blieato by Keece Kilgore. All are ex
ceptlonal artists and the act is said
to be one of real merit
Lang and Himler, real vaudeville
performers of long standing, are to
offer a bit of humorous nonsense and
a Spanish fandango. Then comes
James Bendfeldt, doing the cobra
dance, which served as a vehicle to
squirm Ruth St. Denis into a position
as a top-notcher and enabled her to
open a skyscraper studio where
wealthy ladles go to learn "grace" and
have their photos taken in scanty
clothing "for art's sake.
Six soldiers, directed by Sergt. C. A,
Masse, who has seen service as a the
atrical producer, do the sextet from
"Lucia," and then tnirteentn, nui onus

the Cornish tenor, who sings war songs
in a way that makes the audience Join
with him. The program closes with an
effective tableau showing the now
famous "Stricken Belgium." The en
tertalnment Is snid to be one of the
most elaborate amateur ventures ever
produced here.
ROBBERS BLOW SAFE
OF RINGGOLD BANK
Somnolence of Little Town Not
Disturbed and the Yeggmen
Make Off With $4,000.
Yegamsn entered the vault of the
Bank of Ringgold at Ringgold, Ga.,
Wednesday night, blew open the safe
and secured approximstely $4,000 in
eurrenoy and silver.
They did the "job" so quietly that
the slumber of the town was not even
dieturbed, and the; robbery was not
discovered until the, bank was opened
Thursday morning.!
N. P. Manning II the cashier of the
bank and E. O. Reed Is teller. Mr.
Manning stated, when called over long
distance telephone Thursday, that the
vault combination Vas knocked off and
the safe blown open. He did not know
whether any papers were, taken, but
said all the money was secured. He
explained that the laVs was covered by
Insurance. According to Mr. Man
ning, no one henrd.the report of the
blowing of the safe
A stranger is said to have been seen
In Ringgold for tufo days.
Sheriff Harris, of the Georgia town,
notified the local police department of
the robbery by means of long distance
telephone. I
Hlootfhounds of iPerry Phlpps were
railed for and have been sent to the
scene.
A theory Is that the person or per
sons who left a bundle of tools, several
sticks of dynamite, some nitroglycer
ine, many feet of fuse and some boxes
of caps in Chattanooga recently had
something to do with the Ringgold
robbery. The explosives left here were
found Sundsy sfternoon, and the pre
sumplion Is that they were Intended
for a big Job in this city.

HEALED SICK,
HELPED NEEDY
Jesus the First Philanthropist.
Saw People as Sheep With
Fleece Torn Off.
(By William T. Ellis.)
There was once a Philanthropist,
before the time when helpful folk
wore that big; name, who went about
among the people serving them. Al
though the wisest man in the world,
He was not a theorist writing books
about philanthropy in a detached
study. He kept close to the unwashed,
sweaty, bad-mannered, ungrateful,
common people, who sometimes whined
kbout their diseases and their hard
ships, and were not always worthy of
the labor He bestowed upon them.
Yet day and night, caring not for the
.cost of himself, this Friend healed and
helped and comforted. He was the
ideal social worker. '
The Passion for People.,
As He moved among them, this
Philanthropist was stirred to His
heart's depth by the needs of His
neighbors for He liked to call people
His neighbors. An ancient report ,of
His experiences says, "When He saw
the multitude, He was moved with
compassion for them, because they
were distressed and scattered as sheep
not having a shepherd." Another in
terpretation of the same account is
even more moving "He saw them as
sheep with the fleece torn off, bleeding,
and unable to rise up."
Compassion for pebple was the first
mark of this Friend. He was the
merciful minister. Although Ho never
took a course in any school of philan
thropy, He himself was a .Teacher in
the school of love. He had a rare
capacity for affection. He loved men
In the mass, and yet with a realization
of their individuality without any
limit
This passion for people has become
contagious. Since exemplified by the
Master it has grown to be the domi
nant note of our time. There is a new
hymn that is being much sung in Oreat
Britain and is making its way in
America, which embodies this modern
sense of the claims of multitude. It Is
called "God Save the People," and is
sung to the tune of "Commonwealth."
"When wilt Thou save the people T
O God of mercy, when?
Not kings and lords, but nations!
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
Flow'rs of Thy heart, O God, are they;
Let them not pass, like weeds, away,
Their heritage a sunless day
God save the people!
"Shall crime bring crime forever.
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will. O Father,
That man shall toll for wrongt
No! Say Thy mountains;
No! Thy skies;
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise
And songs ascend instead of sighs,
God save the people!
"When wilt Thou save the people?
O God of mery, when?
The people, Lord, the people;
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
God save the people;
Thine they are.
Thy children, as Thine angels fair
From vice, oppression and despair
God save the people!
Where Are ths Workers?
As this Frrend tolled amid the
masses, He wondered at the lack of
helpers. It seemed to Him that this
business of serving people was the
most beautiful work In the world, and
the one bast woHth while verily, a
man's J b! As for Himself, He asked
no other lot, and help no other ambi
tion than to work for and to give His
life for the help of the people.
This condition which, as our lesson
story shows, obtained in ancient Gall
lee, is still true today. Social service
of many sorts Is calling for men. The
church wants workers, the Sunday
school wants workers and teaching a
class of boys and Rlrls the right Ideals
of life Is about the highest form of
social service. The old cry for helpers
still rings throughout the world. Every
Christian leader enn tell of the hours
he spends in trying to argue men Into
doing helpful service which should be
their privilege and Joy. . "The harvest
truly is plenteous, but the laborers are
few."
8tirting an Endless Chain.
Most of us have had experience with
the pernicious chain lotters which are
designed to go on endlessly making
their begging appeal. There are other
endless chains far worthier. One was
started when this great man-Lover
found Himself confronted by the
claimant needs of the people, and so
organised a scheme of perpetual ser
vice. He called twelve big men Into
Ills fellowship and trained them In
service. TheL In turn, were to select
and school otbers. That method has
gftne on to the present time. Through
all the centuries the goodly company
or the apostles has been growing.
w noever Is doing apostolic work of
ministry Is In the apostolic succession.
All servants of Christ are links in the
endless ehaln which He established
when on earth.
There are many points of difference
between this organizations and other
societies. One Is that real authority
was Klvon unto the friends of Christ
The final word In nil things of char
acter and conduct is with the right
iood Is the master of evil; salntllness
has the right to rebuke sin; goodness
prevails over badness. There is more
grass than weeds In the earth, and
more ngnt than darkness. Kouehlv
counting up some of the achievements
or tne apostles and their successors,
we find thnt permanent victory is with
the Christ crowd.
Ths Powsr of the Avsrage Man.
All over Christendom we see statues
i nd pictures of the apostles. Com
monly they are shown with bales
iround their heads. Sometimes chil
dren think that the apostles wore these
when they were alive. The tendency
is to conventionalize the reality out of
those everyday peasants in the com
mon clothes of their neighborhood, and
with t usled hair and hands calloused
and soilcj with honest labor. That Is
the sort of men Jesus chose to carry
on this greatest work of the world. He
did not ko to the Snnhrdrln or to the
palare for Mis cabinet, but He went
out where ten ordinary everyday fol
were to be met.
If this leon aivompllshr anything I
It shou'.d dirahiiKe some minds of the I
Idea that the coming of the Kingdom'
of Heaven depends upon the rare and
exceptional men. Let it be said over
and over again, with all possible em.
phasia, that the best friend of God is
the comi on man. Lincoln's homely
saying contained ' a profound truth,
that "the Lord Almighty must love
the common people, because He made
so many of them." The churches are
comprised in overwhelming prepon
derance of plain folk. The "one man"
church is always a failure. Straight
from the apostles comes this message
of the indispensibillty of ordinary
people. The success of, evangellrm,
missions, reform, and all other Christ
causes, is to come by the union of the
many in the service of the will "of
Christ. ' ,
The Marching Orders. .
".Travel light" is good counsel for
those who fare forth from home.
Jesus sent His apostles out to their
ministry with instructions to go about
In the simplest fashion, and with the
most meagre equipment Goods always
encumber. When religion grows highly
organized Its tendenscy la to become
too cumbersome for efficiency. Thus
the great office . buildings which de
nominations are erecting, and the huge
endowments for city churches, are by
no means an unmixed blessing. Out
of the war will come new ' lessons of
simplicity for religion.. The first con
sideration is that ajl servants of Christ
should be free and untrameled. Their
business is primarily with the mes
sage. In high dignity, and yet in ut
most simplicity, they are to carry a
story to the world.
What if the world will not receive
the almply told story? Shall we all
impress them by the wealth and mag
nificence and power of the church?
Ah, that la a fallacy into which re
ligion has eften fallen, to the dire hurt
of religion and of the world.
The twelve were to testify to the
truth, but If the truth were not re
ceived, then- judgment would lie
against those who spurned it It is a
terrible thing to know spiritual truth,
for with the knowledge comes respon
sibility. ' Yet we are answerable for
all the truth we can by. any means
learn, as well as for that truth which
we cannot escape.
One last word the lesson contains
for the disciple. "He that recelveth
you recelveth Me, and he that receive
eth Me recelveth Him that sent Me."
Christ identifies His representatives
with Himself. He goes into all the
world through ,them. The world's
treatment of them in their sacred mis
sion is a treatment" of Himself. That
Is a "high calling" indeed. No earthly
ambassadorship can equal .in dignity
and in power this mission of . working
in the name and at the command of
Christ.
