Odol is uniqued as a mouth-elsansing proparation, for it exerts its antiseptic and refreshing influence not only whilst using it, but for hours afterwards.
Being liquid it penetrates all cavities and interstices in and between the testh, and impregnates the gums and the whole lining morabne of the mouth, pro- viding safeguard and preservative for the teeth such as no other dentifrice can possibly do.

-WOMAN AND MODERN STAGE.
"STAGE YACE" BETTER THAN BEAUTY,
Those of us who go much to the theatre are often struck by the apparently un- limited supply of beautiful young women, writes "M, O. K." in the Pall Mall, when the stage-managor seems to have at his command for each and every pro- duction he chooses to present to a willing or unwilling public. But looking a little farther, and soarching the names which , command big salaries, we find that most of those who are at the top of the tree do not possess the monotonous, complacent, and often irritating immobile classical features of the young ladies who, attired in the dernier eri of the Parisian dress- maker, fill minor parts; on the contrary, they rarely have regular features, and are by no means beautifat in the choco- late-box sense of the word, and they are no longer young. And yet, while we are listening to them and seeing thom act, we take note of none of these things, though on the way home we may com- ment on them.
In a spirit of inquiry to know how far beauty is help and how far hindrance to the young wonian who hopes to earn a livelihood on the stage. Mr. Konneth Barnes, the administrator of the Académy of Dramatic Art, Gower-strect, and the brother of two of the most gifted women on the modern stage, Miss Irene and Misa Violet Vanbrugh, was questioned. With the disappearance of the stock company, the stage aspirant of to-day is drifting steadily towards the dramatic schools, and it says much for the judgment of those at the head of affairs that a weed- ing-out process is carefully indulged in,

She will begin by having small parts or walking on-and The this is the pretty girl's chance. manager is not asking for great talent, but for young women who, having little to do while they are on the stage, will at loast please his public by being decora tive.' She will not be called upon to express great emotions to interpret com- plex situations-merely to look pretty. It may happen that she will never get a part at all, or when she does it will be that of an ingente-and her particular kind of beauty may keep her an ingenuer
e for years or walking on for years-that if she has nothing beyond her beauty to commend her. So you see though the pretty girl may get the first chance, her beauty in the long run may not be the asset she or her friends may think it."
THE GOOD STAGE FACE.
"Then if positive and undeniable beauty is not what either managers or public want in the ladies who will become loads, what do they want?"
"Real talent and a good stage face. There are three kinds of faces, from the manager's point of view the ugly face, which may do for character parts; the beautiful face, which is nearly always sure of a walking-on part or a decorative part; and the good stage-face, which is capable of great play of expression, and at the will of the owner can express humour or emotion when the occasion re quires it
papers
The girl with this type of face might strike you in the street, if you glanced at ber at all, as being quite ordinary, with- out the correct features which the society extol in the beauty of the season. But when she is made up she will look quite different. The manager, when he wants ability to interpret an important part, looks for the woman with the good stage-face who bas something vital in her, and the sense of the theatre who will give hin something that mere beauty She way took phain in the manager's room, but she will not on the stage.

Yet ninety-nine out of every hundred are impressed with the idea that aviation, which had killed less than half a dozen individuals four years ago, has grown into something terribly dangerous, when, as a matter of fact, aviation commenced as something very hazardous and has developed already into something fully 99 per cent, less risky, until now a flight in an aeroplane is far safer than a ride in a racing automobile, and is only about as bazardous as participation in a foot- ball game, which, for numbers and time of individuals engaged, rolls up suh- stantially an equal fatality list.

Seigels Syrup
Mother Seigel's Syrup, the ideal remedy
for Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, and other complaints arising from disorders of the stomach, liver, and bowels, has a grand record of uninterrupted success. In thousands and thousands of cases it has cured even after other medicines had failed. If you have any digestive trouble; if you are liable to bilious attacks; if you rise in the morning un- refreshed by sleep; if you have a poor appetite, and are liable to headaches, nervousness and insomnia, take a
•few doses of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and you will be delighted with its wonderful curative and tonic effects on the stomach, liver, and bowels.
Mrs. J. Scott, of 10. Alice Street, Durban, Natal, writes on September 9th, 1912: "I have tested Mother Seigel's Syrup for many years back, and I feel quite certain that if sufferers from stomach and liver troubles would take it they would derive real and lasting benefit,"
