OLGA JVETHERSOLE TO GIVE AN EXTRA "SAPHO" MATINEE Yields to Desire of Many Who Were Unable to See Her in Role Last Week When she reappears in "Sapho" this afternoon at the Macdonough Theater, Oakland, Olga Nethersole will be greeted by a crowded house, for the mans* persons who were unable to wit ness her performances of the character last week, owing to the great demand for seats, 'will doubtless take advantage of this extra, opportunity. San Fran cisco .will surely be extensively repre sented In the audience, because the ma jority! of the people who were disap pointed dwell on this side of the bay. '\u25a0 This may be Miss Nethersole's last performance of "Sapho" In California, as her repertoire Is likely to undergo , a complete change before she can return to the Pacific Coast, two years hence. It was consideration of this fact, coupled with a desire to gratify those who appealed to her to give one more matinee in Oakland ere she leaves the State, that induced her to cancel an engagement elsewhere. To lessen their chance of again being disappointed, it would be well for those who Intend visiting the Macdonough this afternoon to telephone their seat orders to the box office as early as pos sible.

Not very long ago, a popular magazjna published an editorial article tn which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal. Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind Is due to the violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should bo regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak- nesses, various displacements of pelvis organs and other derangsments peculiar to her sex. .Freo.nr.nt bearish of children, with its ex- actinff demands upon the system, coupled . with the care, worry and labor of re&rinsr a lanre family, is often the cause of weak- nesses, derangements and debility which ara aggravated by the many household cares, and the bard, and never-eadlnjr work which tho mother Is called upon to perform. Dr. Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem- edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ills— Dr. Pierre's Favorite Prescription— saya that one of the greatest obstacles to the curs . of this class of maladies Is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not ret tha i needed rest from- her many household care* ' and labor to enable her to secure from the use of his " Prescription " its full benefits. 19 Is a matter of frequent experience, be says, in his extenslT* practico In these cases, to meet with those In which his treatment fails by reason of the patient's inability to abstain ; from bard work lons enough to be cured. . With those suffering: from prolapsus, ante- version and retroversion of the uterns or other displacement of the womanly organs, it is very necessary that, in addition to tak- lnsr his "Favorite Prescription • they abstain ' from beln g Terr much, or for lone periods, on their fe«t. All heavy llftlnjr or straining: of any kind should also be avoided. As much out-door air as possible, with moderate, li*h9 exercise is also very important. - Let tha patient observe these rules and the "Favor- ite Prescription " will do th» rest.
