JACKSONVILLE ELDER
Writes Characteristic Letter Regard-
ing Loss of Appetite.
He says:
“Vinol is the thing
For summer, winter, fall or spring.
Follow directions, take it right,
It will save your lagging appetite.
‘‘I know for 1 have tried it For
weeks I could scarcely eat enough to
keep a snake alive. I have taken three
bottles of Vinol and now it looks like
I will eat my head off. I am at the
table three .times a day eating as I
did in the good old days when I split
rails, dug wells, topped trees, plowed
corn and hoed cotton. Try Vinol and
see how good it feels to be real hun-
gry.”
When you ought to be hungry and
are not it is because your stomach
does not feel strong enough to ask
for food—a sure sign of impaired gen-
eral health. Better than dosing the
stomach with pepsin for temporary
relief is taking Vinol, our delicious
tonic, which has the strengthening
and blood-making power of iron, and
the building-up value of cod liver oil.
It quickly restores appetite and per-
fect digestion. If Vinol does not help
you it costs you nothing. Weatherford

“The Traffic.”
The Traffic” is playing a return
engagement Walter Newman is the
producing manager. It is a problem
play in four acts by Racheal Marshall
and Oliver D. Bailey.
“The Traffic” is a sensational play
and is a powerful indictment of white
slavers’ methods and economic condi-
tions existing in the great cities of
the world.
It was reviewed by the Record on
its first presentation at the Byers.
The producing company is a strong
one. Mrs Walter Newman was sub-
stituted law night for Elsie Burton,
the sick sister of the heroine of the
play. Mrs Newman is a very accom-
plished actress and is the daughter
of Mrs. Clara Folz, the noted woman
lawyer and suffragette leader of Cali-
fornia. She is wonderfully versatile
and has appeared in many roles.
Miss McMullin, who plays the part
of Mollie McGuire, furnishes the com-
edy for “The Traffic.” She is a splen-
did character actress and was seen to
excellent advantage. Ruth Vernon,
the leading woman, plays an ideal
Agnes Burton, a working girl, who
succumbs to the wiles of the tempter
in order that her sick sister may be
restored to health and life.
There are gruesome characters and
gruesome scenes in “The Traffic” and
the play lays bare life as it is seen
the squalid tenemenst, the sweatshops
and the gilded palaces in the slum
districts of all cities
There is nothing nasty about the
play. There are terrible truths told
as well as hideous characters portray-
ed, in this problem story of the stage.
One hundred and thirty telephone
girls were the invited guests of Man
ager Newman. The "hello” girls were
very kind to Manager Newman and
his people while they were in >the
flooded districts along the Brazos riv
er from Waco to Galveston and as a
token of his appreciation he extended
an invitation to the local girls to wit-
ness the performance and its truths
on the opening night.
It seemed to have a powerful effect
upon those who witnessed the per-
formance. There were many wet eyes
in the audience and many hearts were
sad over the pictures drawn of wage
slaves and the temptations which be-
set the unwary feet of girls fighting
for bread and shelter and the preser-
vation of their honor. It was a most
appreciative audience and one very
generous with Its applause when ap-
plause was demanded. It is certain
to make men and women think, and
think loudly, and it will soften their
hearts to those who have been oast
adrift through no fault of their own.

sidered hold and daring but it conveys a serious message and pos-
sesses an effective moral.. .The theme is as old as the'world but as
