PREPARING FOR ZEPPELINS

"It's finei to havj a Saturday night without a Zeppelin raid," said Miss Ada lteovo in the, course of a recent interview in Sydney. Tho English comedienne nas been m five Zeppelin raids in England, and they all occurred on Saturday nigUfe. Ou the first occasion Miss Reeve and her company were playing "Winnie Brook, Widow." Mr. Jacobs, the singing conductor at the Tivoli, was a member ot the company, and tho warning to put out all lights was given just as he entered and said, "Hullo, Mrs. Brooke, X am glad to soo you." The lights were out by tho time ho said "Mrs. Brooke." Miss Reeve quickly turned tho situation to account, and remarked: "I should bo glad to see you. You must have second sight.' , lhe audience quickly saw the point, and applauded. Fortunately there was a Piano in tho scene, and like a flash the famous artist decided to sing the audience songs so that they would not get alarmed. Mr. Jacobs was the accompanist, and Miss Keeve sang songs'until they were assured that all danger had passed, -then tho lights went up again, and the performance was resumed. On another occasion—that of the fifth raid—the usual warning was given to the audionce that the Zeppelins were approaching, and (ho usual precautions were taken. Miss Eeeve wondered how the people would take it; but to her surprise they received the announcement with ironical cheers, and said: "Hooray! Hooray! Let them come!" Tho previous Saturday night two Zeppelins had been destroyed, and the people had faith, and felt that others were likely to share tho eamo fate. Sure onough two more Zeppolins wero destroyed' on that evening. Miss Eeove said ehe was never frightened when these raids were on, boeauso sho is a fatalist. It was a. terrible experience, however, to hear tho bombs going off, knowing that probably someone was being killed or injured. '■ BABY IS WEANED. "Mrs. S." says:—".l have weaned my little girl, and sho is thriving wonderfully. My only wish is that I had known about Wilson's Malt Extract when I was nursing my first." "Mrs. S." knows, you see, that that round-faced, crowing littlo girl of 'hers would have been fretful and hollow-choeked, like her first baby, if she had not given her Wilson's Malt Extract. Those with large experience in nursing infants know that Wileon's Malt Extract acts as a real food, and as an aid to tho digestion of all other foods. It is providential that Wilson's. Malt Extract is an economical food, for even if dear, doctors would still recommend it. Chemists, stores.—Advt.
