For Nervous Persons
Can often he achieved by a simple change of food and
d rink.
Mnch nervousness is caused by coffee drinking—eminent
nt-edteal authorities having demonstrated that the coffee
drug, caffeine, is a definite nerve poison to many persons.
Coffee has no food value whatever, and is a deceitful
friend. Under its use the nerves first become irritated; then
so sensitive and “on edge’’ that a slight variation from gen
era! health often appears most serious to its victim.
However, Nature responds quickly to common-sense
treatment, and right living frequently does more than inedi
cine. So, if you value peace and comfort, try this easy exper
iment.
Stop coffee entirely and have hot, well made
POSTUM
This pure food-drink made from prime wheat has a .lava
like flavor and a fine dark brown color which changes to rich
golden brown when cream is added.
It contains th.' genuine nourishing elements of the grain,
but is absolutely free from the coffee drug, or anv other
harmful ingredient.
Postuni comes in two forms
Regular Postum must be w. II boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder A spoonful dissolves
quickly in a cup of hot water ami. with cream ami sugar
makes a very palatable beverage instantly
Thousands have been wonderfully benefited by using
Postum instead of coffee—

MEXICO CITY. Sept 16. Exciting
scenes and promise of more exciting
things tn come attended the celebra
tion of Mexican Independence Day in'
the capital to-day.
All night long, following the official
Inauguration of the independence
ceremonies at 11 o'clock last night,
crowds of noisy Mexicans surged
through the streets. The principal
cases remained open all night.
Ru rales, who were supposed to pa
trol the streets, paid no attention to
the noisy mobs it whs noticeable,
however, that the guard about the
United States Embassy was unusual
ly vigilant.
Thousands gathered before the Na-'
tional Palace and * heer* d President
Huerta. There were scattered antl-
Arnerban demonstrations ami cries
of Drive out the Gri agues' were
heard at Intervals.
Troops All on Parade.
The feature of the day here, as well
hn in the other larger cities through
out the republic, whs the military
turnout. War Minister Blanquet, at
the Instance of Huerta, had c harged
every Military Governor to get as
many men as possible under arms for
"patriotic demonstrations ”
President Huerta staked much on
this day’s events throughout the re
public. He hoped and expected that
the patriotic exercises would inspire
a feeling of loyalty to the Govern
ment, consequently to th** President,
throughout the republic
For this reason the President
planned to remain 1n public through
out most of the day, showing
himself to the residents of the capital
and the thousands of visitors who
came here from neighboring districts.
Americans Given Warning.
The principal space on the balcony
of the National Palace was reserved
for him when the parade was to be
re' lowed
The popping of firearms kept up
through the nigh* and at dawn the
explosions of gunpowder grew louder
and more frequent
The American residents had been
warned to keep Indoors so that their
presence might not inflame Mexicans
whose brains 'ad been slightly dis
ordered along patriotic lines by lib

refugees coming from Vera Cruz.
Press dispatches from abroad to the
effect that the Dias team was re
hearsing an act of this kind were
given credence by the arrivals Dr.
F. E. Rchlottman, dentist. from
Guadalajara, said ■'Felix will be the
field leader Porfirio would not dare
return to Mexico at this time, but his
bruin will be behind the whole thing
His life In Mexico now wouldn’t fie
worth two cents.”
Wilson’s warning to Americans to
flee Mexico Is. in their opinion, a pre
liminary to Intervention
"We take it that Wilson meant
business when he sent out that warn
Ing.’’ said J O Gable, wno was a mer
chant In Aguas c'alientes and is en
route to Paris. "He knows that if
there Im an American left in Mexico
when United Sates soldier* do inter
vene none of the Insurance - ompanies
would care to take chances on his
life.”
M V. McDonnell, who was a min
ing man at Tunala and is going back
to El Pas*', declared Wilson and
Bryan made monkevs out of Atnerl
cans in connection with the Lind af
fair
“It is a joke all over Mexico,” he
said. “The Mexicans now think
they've ‘rot our goat’ \n Amerl*
cans down there condemn the atti
tude Bryan and Wilson took on the
affair.”

Problem Playette, Character Turn
and Miniature Opera Hold
Interest of Audience.
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Pret#*ntk»us indeed the week’s bill
at the Forsyth becomes, with three
one-act sket< hes that are rather ex
acting in their demands on the au
dience and the players. If they were
not so well done the result would be
amentable. As it is. however, played
in each instance by artists, they win
applause.
There is variety enough In the
three. One l s a tiny opera, with a
book and lyrics and music all Its own.
and with right pleasant voices to in
terpret it ail. another the ambitious
dramatic offering of Mme Beeson
and Charles Dodeworth; the third a
pure comedy, in which true German
types revel In the opportunity which
Is presented to manufacture laughs
Os them all the audience seemed to
like best the third, a comedy sketch '
written by Rupert Hughes. And those I
who have seen his "Excuse Me" and
who have read his stories know that
tie is master of the popular farce. In
his “How Hoffmeister IMd It,” the
sketch at the Forsyth, he puts a 10l
of character tn his lines

He draws the picture of a German- I
American family, the older folks fat. !

tn “The Woman Who Knew,*’ Mme.
Beeson and Charles Dodsworth re
veal themselves as clever actors,
showing th** struggle of wits between
a shrewd lawyer and an adventuress
who seeks happiness at the expense
«»F another woman.
The other sketch Is “The Singing
Countess," billed as an opera-bouffe
in one act. Miss Ida Brooks Hunt,
the principal figure in this singing
act. takes advantage of her opportu
nity to please the audience by sing
ing the “My Hero” song that won for
her lasting recognition on the stage
Her supporting company—George 1
Poflltney. Henry Vincent and Miss Al
ice Hutchings—meets the demands of I
the score.
Quartet Takes Well.
A number of considerable excel
lence is that of the Big City Four,
the male quartet. There are singers
a-plenty in the world, to be heard at
t very movie-house. And yet it seems .
that, after all, these things are the |
best, so far as showgoers are eon-’I
cerned, particularly when singers '
c.ur\ present such harmony as did the
Rig City Four in their adaptation of
"The Rosary.” This was a worthy
feature
The Marvelous Grahams are four
well-developed gymnasts, the most
remarkable and pleasing of whom are
two small boys. Martin Kennedy is a
black-face ocmedian whose dancing i
won a hand
The bill closes with a squad of |
dancers who supplement the singing i
and (lancing act of Ward and Davis.
The ballet dances well, and the two
principals are captivating.
Miss Williams Scores L
Triumph at Lyric.
A page out of the story of life is

Williams alone would make the per

Rut the story is* overlooked, the

In the play she is an abandoned,
dissolute woman, who returns after
fifteen years of depraved life, con
srienceiess, bruitsh, to the husband
w horn she had deserted.
Fifteen years before he was poor,
and her luxury-loving soul sickened
*>f the life *»f poverty. She left him,
and left also their little girl.
The man goes out into the West,
and becomes rich and politically

his daughter and of the woman who
rear* d her, is < onfmneed suddenly by
th** woman who is still his
wife. There is the baste of the play
The “man’s game” is th* fight a man
must make for the happiness of the
woman he loves.
Estha Williams makes the most of
her opportunities. Somehow she
catches well the psychology of the
role she plays, and the result is a
startling realism. Miss Williams will
long be known for her work with the
character of Nance May©.
Her supporting company supple
ments well her work. Edwin Walter,
as her husband, depicts the type, of
the successful American business
man and politician in th* rougher,
harder plac**f away from the big ren
ters of culture He is no stage West
erner of slouch hat and boots, but a
virile person.
Seal West Depicted.
Harry L. Dunklnson makes a good
Sheriff and political boss of the same
Western setting. Again there is no
hint of the sombrero and t|ie lasso
of the popular imagination, but a
very real presenation of the West
erner. rs
The play has something of the tone
of a melodrama, without the grating
essence of unreality and too-great
heroism. As to technical "construc
tion it may be a little crude if you
look closely to the mathematical ac
curacies of technique. But all that
is overlooked or not observed at all,
in the general impression that here
is a play out of life, and a play with
real characters and real emotions to
be drawn.
“A Man’s Game” will be at the
Lyric all the week, with matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Movies Add Interest
To Thaw’s Adventures.
Atlanta is attaining much more of
a personal interest in the enthralling
affairs of Harry Kendall Thaw since
the pictures from Sherbrooke first
were shown at the Grand Theater
Monday. There in the movies the
noted fugitive sits and smiles and
frowns and looks bored, just as
everybody Imagined he would. It is
a very real Harry Thaw’ that At
lanta people are seeing at the Grand,
and they go from the theater to their
newspapers with a new interest.
In the pictures Thaw is seen in his
cell, reading, or writing, or idling,
and altogether looking not in the
least like the lunatic that the New-
York State authorities are trying to
make him out. In fact, he seems to
be a nither human person.
Moving pictures, such as the Thaw
series at the Grand this week, fulfill
the serious function of the celluloid
films, giving to actual events a hu
man interest that makes them ap
pealing and Instructive.
