' "COLLEGE WIDOW" STAYS AT ALCAZAR George Ade's Lively Comedy Is Retained for Another Week by Request It was predicted by those who wit/ nessed the opening performance of "The College. Widow" at the' Alcazar last Monday evening, that the play would excel the regulation' seven days' run, and the", pFophecy •is made good. by. a managerial announcement that the ad vance demand for seats became so strong as to jriake a change of bill savor of financial foolishness. "* There fore the great American comedy will be started on its second week, which will poSftively be its final one, next, Mondaj- night. -. Ot-* iiT--'-'. * It is not 'difficult to find logical rea sons for this Alcazar success. One of them, and the principal one, lies in the fact that "The College Widow" has never been given a, more perfect production; either Histrionically or pie-, torially, than it receives in the Sutter street playhouse. '\u25a0 ._ Evelyn Vaughan's" experience as star in -the title- part serves her "well in the present-production, and John Ince as the football hero, Will R. Walling as his' father, '' Howard Hickman as the elder Hicks. Charles Dow Clark as hjs son, John. Watson as the trainee. Charles Trowbridge as- the coach, William Carwood as the busy under graduate. Roy Neil, as the tutor, Her bert I^arjeon as the college president. Walter v ßelasco as the town marshal, George Baldwin as ' the right tackle., 1 Louis Be'hnison as the big center rush, Grace Tra\V'rs as the athletic girl, Bessie Barricale as Miss Wiggrlii; Adele Belgarde as the reliable chaperon — in brief, * all the people in the extensive cast are at home in their respective roles. "St. Elmo," the reigning sensation in'^the past, is announced to follow "The College Widow." Signal corps men to do rough riding Company B, signal corps, N G. C, is to encounter an .unusual! experience next' week when a "rough riding" coui'se will be added to the advantages the men have. What the signal men, accustomed to no^more strenuous acquaintance with equines than a bit of "horseplay" now and then while wigwagging or sending messages over the wireless telegraph, will do when mounted on flery. steeds none of them knows*. The future around company headquarters is shrouded in more than a thlri mist of uncertainty^ The company armory has . been en larged by the addition of a committee room, reading v room and new orderly room. Many new lockers have been in stalled. The new indoor range rifle has been\ received from AVashington and jpany signal men are anxious to be come proficient at th~e indoor range so that they can qualify for work at the shoot at Rodeo.

Stuart's j Calcium Wafers . ; A Trial Package Sent Free ; Furuncles, or boils, is one of the old- j est diseases of history. [Every one fa- , miliar with the case of Job, of whom; it was said in the Bible, that the sur- face of his body was completely cov- ered with them, and the disease is re- ferred to by* many people nowadays as "Job's Disease." * Boils consist of larsce. projecting points of inflammation situated on the skin, and extending into the connective tissue. They usually terminate in a suppuration and the formation of a central slough or core, and when the j boil comes to a head and breaks, the i abscess tends to heal, leaving a cica- I trix, or scar. . | \u25a0This disease occurs most frequently j .on the back of the neck, although they may occur anywhere on the sur- face of the skin. Boils seldom occur singly, but usu- ally comes in considerable numbers, and frequently succeed one another in rapid succession for a considerable period, and their presence always Indicates a lowered state of vitality, and a de- praved,, depleted and impoverished con- dition of the blood. The pain attendant on -a single boil is prolonged for \u25a0 three or four days, and no sooner is the pain of one got- ten rid of than that of another be- gins, until the person is completely worn out with suffering. When the boil involves a nerve Jila- \u25a0ment, the pain is most excruciating and almost unendurable. The treatment for the cure of fur- uncles or boils should be directed toward rectifying errors of nutrition, improving the general health, elimi- nating poisons and impurities from the blood, and toning up and strengthening the %kidneys, bowels and other elimi- nating organs. The preparations of sulphur have the most pronounced influence in curing boils, and of " these preparations the sulphide of calcium is by far the most powerful and effective. STUART'S CALCIUM . WAFER? -which contain calcium sulphide, have been exceedingly successful In the treatment and cure of .boils, _as they diminish the inflammation and sup- puration, and besides, act so powerfully upon the blood that the jmpurities. which \u25a0 are the underlying cause of boils, are completely eliminated, arrf the disease having nothing further to keep it going, rapidly disappears. Stuart's Calcium Wafers not only cure boils, but all other blood and skki diseases, except" leprosy, which Is in- curable by any treatmenr, and if suffer- ing from any of the various skin mani- festations, dependent upon impure blood, you should give this celebrated remedy a fair trial.
