Lefty prefers dancing and the gay life to keeping house, white Tommy likes to trim the lawn and! yearns for a square meal at home. which he never gets Grace is a good cook, and ?he first appears mixing, some kind of toothsome dough, while' bemoaning the absence of her harum- scarum Harry, who »*oesn"t }ipprei'iatei her homely qualities. tench husband discovers the other1 flirting \vith his wife.

C/ Cries Many a Woman Whose Weak¬ ened, Run-Down Condition Makes Her Cross, Irritable, Wrinkled ^ and Old Before Her Time ^ Most Women Who Tire Eas- ily, Have Kits of the "Blues" or / Look Pale, Haggard and Worn, Need More Iron In Their Blood to Strengthen Their Nerves and Put Color in Their Cheeks, Says Dr. Kenneth K. MacAlpine, Prominent New York Surgeon and Former Adjunct Professor New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital. With the divortv> eourtn showing an ever increasing number of homos broken up often through woman's highly nervous state.with thousands of women leaving their business posi¬ tions or unable to attend to their household 1 duties because of their weakened run-down conditions, and {.till others whose constant complain¬ ing make l'fe a burden to themselves and to their families, it should be es¬ pecially interesting to the public gen¬ erally to read the opinion of such a medical authority as Dr. Kenneth K. Mae.Mpine. a prominent New York sur¬ geon. member of the New York State Medical Society and for lf> 'years Ad¬ junct Professor of the New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, who tells below how by increasing the supply of iron in the blood, women may become stronger, healthier and more successful in the home, social and business life. |ir. MacAlplne says: "In my opinion practically nine nut of every ten women who suffer from "Nerves", can Improve their health, strength, vitality and general ap¬ pearance by gelling more iron In their blood You can tell I he women whoiie blood is rich in strength-giving Iron, they are the beautiful, healthy, rosy-cheeked ones, radl- nt with life, vim and energy.envied and nought after everywhere they go. Yet de¬ spite all thai h:is been said and written by physicians about the alarming iron defici¬ ency In the blonil of the average American w.man of to-day, there are silll thousands who neeil something to Increase their red hlood corpuscles and build up their strength and endurance anil are either careless (ft their condition or ilo nol know what to take. In my Opinion there Is nothing better than organic iron-. Mux*ted l»on -to help maVe healthy, full-hlooded, beautiful women. Hy enriching the blood and Increasing Its oxy¬ gen carrying power, Nuxatod Iron will often transform the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid checks of nervous, run-down wo¬ men Into a glow of health and make thv>> look years younger within a surprising* short time. "If people would only realize that iron is just as indispen¬ sable to ihe blood ;is is air to the lungs aixl be just as par¬ ticular about kerpinc up a sufficient supply at nil times there would. in my opin¬ ion. he far loss r)is*as» /. resulting from anaemic, weakened conditions. For years it was problem with phy- sielans how to a.l- / / / minister Iron in a form that could be taken up / by the system ' and 'increase the red blood /, c o r p u s c les ' without uji- «t t I n r thu » I n m « r li, t> I n c k e ninK the teelth or p r o d u c i nc other disorders al¬ most as serious as the lack of iron it¬ self. nut the In¬ troduction of Nux- atod Iron has done away with all the objectionable fea¬ tures of the old mineral sails of Iron and Rives to every c a r o f u I, thinking physician a tried and valuable pre¬ scription which he can recommend nearly every day with benefit to°hls weakened and run-down patients. In my opinion. Nux.tted Iron Is the most valuable tonic, strength and hlood-builder any physician can prescribe." In commenting upon Dr. Mat-Alpine's article on "Nerves." fir. Ferdinand King, a New York f'hyaician and Medical Author, says: "Such words coming from so high a medical authority as I>r. MacAlptne must carry great weight -with every thinking person. I regard l)r. MacAlpinn as «ine of the moat careful ami conservative of phy¬ sicians and If 1 had an operation n> be per¬ formed on-myaelf I know of no other sur¬ geon whom I would rather ha\'e. perform It. 1 fully agree with nr.

They are presentinsr »i gor¬ geously stiiKcrt dance carnival and ex¬ hibiting a wealth of* rich, colorful cos- t tunes. John Burke, former character comedy star, will be seer in his greatest laughing hit. "A 1 agtime Soldier."

They are variety entertainers of the liew school of nonsense. In render¬ ing as well as in ilie materlil the.v use,' t'larke and Rudd are refreshingly, oriental and unconventional. Further widening the range of amusement provided in this bill will come Menry's Pets, an animal act out . >f the beaten path of r.cts of this character. Featured in the act is a: troupe of dogs. There are dog actors, and actresses. dog acrobats and dog' dancers. The canines give an exhibi¬ tion that is both laughable, and amais- ing. tne animals often exhibiting a do-: gree of intelligence that is bewilder- ing to the spectators. Henry's dogs' seem to do most everything except talk. Another iV'tractive list is scheduled for the latter half of the week Mile. Hessie Kosa and the Six Virginia Step¬ pers. a feature that scored heavily in the metropolitan circles the past .-rum¬ mer. will have a prominent place 011 the new hill. The program of the Six Virpiui;- Steppers provides for a series of new terpsichorean creations, some of which are presented with vocal and instrumental musical accompaniment. The dances are lavishly staged and smartly executed. Frank Orumit, the "One-Man Hand." is another interesting'feature. He Is a capital comedian, who can sing, dance, play instruments and tell a good story. I'rumit w.'.s graduated from the Unt- versity of Ohio onl> a few years ago. Mason and tjwynne, musical comedy duo. have a clever character comedy act. They are both good impersonators, and have a lot of original fun ma- t eria 1. Then there is artistic Catherine I'owell. interpretive dancer, who with her aids is presenting a series of beau- tifnl picture and costume dances. Miss: I'owell is the composer of most of the dance creations in her repertoire. Supplementing each of the \aude-j villo shows there will be the usual high-grade motion picture displays, in- cluding the latest releases of the Hearst-f'athe war tilnV series.
