In that laughable comic opera, "The Beggar Prince," perhaps the most inter­ esting characters are the Beggar Prince, the Man of Misfortune," his grand chamberlaiu, Roccy, and Betty, who also has trouble of her own in the shape of a lover whom the Begger Prince cordially bates. With the aid of Roccy, he succeeds in separating the two, and Betty, thinking her lover has deserted her finally promises to become the wife of the Beggar Prince who has long been scheming for her hand. Roccy, how­ ever, has the same end in veiw and sue ceeds in making havoc for all concerned. Misunderstandings and complications follow in delightful fashion. One could not have the heart to see the mer ry characters in this entertaining play come to a Bad ending, so the finale rounds out to as pleasing and delicious a comic opera as one could desire. Sup­ plemented with catchy musical num­ bers, costumes and elegant scenery. "TheBeggar Prince" will appear at Cen­ tral opera house on Thursday evening, March 9, 1905.

This process Is exceedingly simple, and offers the advantages of requiring no complicated Or expensive apparatus and no lamp or other heat which might be a source of danger from fire. In fact, the method consists simply of the pouring of the formaldehyde solu­ tion or permanganate of potash, any open vessel serving satisfactorily as a container, and the only requirement being that the formaldehyde solution be of good and reliable quality and Remedy. I took two doses that after- used in proper proportion to ttfe per-mo^p and could not believe my senses TO MAKE TESTS. Health Board is Preparing to Make Series of Investigations. is to secure from the cities and villages of the state a reliable and inexpensive method of disinfection which will per­ mit health officers to secure satisfactory results without the expenditure of con­ siderable sums for complicated appa­ ratus and without the destructive effects of sulphur disinfection.

" The stage of the Central opera house will swarm the night of March 9 with pretty girls, funny comedians and all the necessary characters that figufe in the cast of "The Beggar Prince," a comic opera which, according, to things told of it in other cities, has become a great success judging from a musical standpoint, The play is exeellently staged and presented by a company that has won the admiration and ap­ plause of the theatre goers for 14 con­ secutive seasons. This fact combined with the beautiful costumes, pretty music and the bright and clever dia­ logue should make th£ coming presenta­ tion an altogether notable event. Incredible Brutality. It would hava been incredible brutal­ ity if Chas. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse, N. Y., had not done the best he could for his suffering son.

The Maine board reported excellent results fr»»m its ex|>et imehts. The btate board of health has never fully commended disinfection with formaldehyde, for, while this method offered many advantages over sulphur, it was found from investigations that the results were most variable, and that formaldehyde frequently failed to destroy disease producing germs even when used under what were re­ garded the most favorable conditions. Formaldehyde was not used for dis­ infection until 1890, and as early as 1896 Secretary James A. Egan, then a medical officer in the Chicago health department, undertook a series of in­ vestigations of the disinfectant power of gas, using practically all of the much'" lauded generators and apparatus then offered on the market. With none of these were the results satisfactory. Since that time practically all have disappeared from the market, although they were then highly praised not only by their makers but by many physicirns and healeh officers. In-1898, 1899 and 1900 $e state board of health tested many devices placed on the market which promised to do away with the objectionable features of older methods and which were ad­ vertised as most certain and unvarying in their action. Among the methods subjected to tests was the sheet method used by the health department, of the city of Chicago and many health officers: A process consisting of spraying for maldehyde solution , on sheets in the rooms to be disinfected. In the teststhis method proved ineffect ive and its adoption was advised against. Another method which was pronounced entirely unsatisfactory was the use of an apparatus generating formaldehyde gas under pressure and passing the gas into the room through a keyhole, a method still used by the health depart raent of the city of Springfield and by many other cities throughout the state. The results of formaldehyde disinfec­ tion have not been invariably bad. In fact, at time)s. under conditions \^hich seemed most - favorable, disinfection was complete and satisfactory, but on the other hand, failure to destroy dis­ ease germs was noted in many instances where every condition seemed most auspicious. During some tests, germs exposed to the gas on plates of nutrient gelatine grew as rapidly as did those which were kept in another room away from the action of the gas. The state boards of health of Maine and of Illinois have done more in the investigation of disinfection l»y formal dehyde than any other state boards in the country, and both boards have sought for a means of utilizing the gas which would be inexpensive, simple, but more important than all, absolutely and invariably reliable. Up to this time the Illinois board has been compelled to recommend the use of sulphur as the most reliable disin fectant, and while it has spoken favor ably of one method of formaldehyde disinfection, known as the Breslau method, which consists in the evapora­ tion of a solution of formaldehyde by means of heat in a specially devised kettle, it has constantly modified its recommendations by warnings of pos­ sible failure to seenre results. The Breslau method has been used exten­ sively by the city of St. Louis and has proven the best "of various processes so far advocated. According to the results obtained by the investigators of the Maine board, the generation of formaldehyde gas from the combination of formaldehyde solution and permanganate of potash is thoroughly reliable and the appa­ ratus required is available in any home. In very few cases did bacteria con­ tinue to live after the disinfection and those which did were of a comparative­ ly .harmless character. One explana­ tion of the superior germicidal power of this method is that the combination of the solution and permanganate re­ sults in the total amount of gas, the full strength being directed in a very short time as a disinfecting agent. In the more complicated generators the gas is liberated slowly with the re­ sult that it does not have the oppor­ tunity to act in concentrated form. This would seem to- verify the belief hel&by many that formaldehyde is an effective disinfectant and that only the methods of the past have been at fault The object of the state board of 1* waking fcbess.i»«*tigafck»§ when I found the next morning the inflammation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my seat injhe Council." This remedy is for sale by all druggists.
