"Ben Hur", with its lustrious Star of

scenes represent to she eye feast of multi
fsriOus beauty and variety all set to a SYM
phonic accompaniment Of graceful music
The exciting episodes, snch as the galley
scene with its horde of chained slaves, the
sea fight, the rescue in mid sea, the thrill

Looping horses; combined with the pictures
| que scenes representing the appearance OF
the Star TO the Wise Men in the desert,
the moonlit lake in the Orchard Of Psalms,
where Ben Hur and Iras make love while
drifting in the barge Of the fair Egyptian,
the palm-bearing worshipers on the Mount
OF Olives, and the Grove Of Daphne with
its nymphs dancing in the skins of beasts

and women in the throng that goes forth
from Jerusalem to meet the Saviour, there
will be three hundred. And in the char

Tilt STEAMSHIP AEON
 A HOPELESS WRECK
Steps Have Been Taken For the Re lief of the Survivors.

Victoria, B. C., Sept. 19.-Inquiries by salvage companies regarding the possibility of saving the steamer Aeon. wrecked on Christmas island, have disclosed the fact that the en- zines have broken away and that the hull is breaking up. No hope of salvage is entertained. Canadian Australia line agents say the steamer Manuka will undoubtedly call at Christmas island as instructions to that effect have been cabled from Sydney, to which port the survivors of the Aeon will be taken.
 H. M. s. Algerine. now at Esqui- mault. is preparing for a cruise to Christmas island and other islands of the South Pacific. Until a few years ago a cruise was made annually to the islands of the South Pacific to investigate the possibilities of casta- ways being found on Uninhabited is lands and to renOvate graves, etc. With the attaching of the Algerine to the Pacific station, the practice is being revived.

Beauty and
 Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a Woman May Try to Make Them.

 a Woman May Try to Make Them.
 It does not matter how beautiful a woman may be. if she is afflicted with bad breath she will be summed and pitied by men and even women will studiously avoid her.
 If any woman doubts this state ment let her make a point of asking a friend in whom she may cOnfide, a man friend or relative. If he be honest he will tell her that foul breath from the mouth of a woman will drive men from her more rapidly than any other personal afflictiOn.
 Foul breath arouses in man disgust and where this quality is brought into play no amount of self-denial or reasoning can overcome the nat ural repugnance which comes to man when he is in company with such woman.
 What is true of bad breath in wo- man is not true in so great a degree in men. Women are looked upon as the incarnation of sweetness, breed ing. virtue and refinement Foul breath will sicken man so that he can not feel for such woman a companionship necessary to make him desire to be in her company. There is absolutely no occasion for bad breath in either men or women. Charcoal, the strongest absorbent known, when taken into the stomach will prevent this repugnant tendency or affliction.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold | in tremendous quantities all over | America and Canada. They cure and have cured all forms of bad breath | A single box will convince you of this fact. One should eat some of these Iozenges after each meal and upon retiring. You might eat fifty of them without harm. They are not medicine, but pure willow char coal mixed with sweet honey to make
 them palatable and compressed. into A lozenge to preserve their peculiar and lasting strength.
 The next time you wish to go into company and don't want your foul breath to humiliate you, eat several of Stuart's eCharcoal Lozenges and
 vo1r breath will be pure and sweet

State Sunday School Convention


Minot is rapidly becoming city of
conventions. Hardly had the last of
the stalwarts and progressives left the
city limits when the delegates to the
state Sunday school convention began
to arrive and they kept coming until
there were ia in attendance. Wire
pulling was replaced by hymnsinging
and harmony reigned through the three
days of the meeting, May 1921. In
spite of the necessary absence of Prof.
H. M. Hamill, the Sunday school spec
ialist, an inspiring program was carried
out, thanks to the untiring energy of
our state secretary, Rev. John Orchard.
The reports of the secretary and the
department superintendent show a
district gain in the growth and efficiency
of the Sunday schools throughout the
state. Dickey county is not far behind
in the records of the year. Wells
county led the convention with 28O
points out of possible 700 while Dickey
came next with $50 points. Revs. E. M.
Nffth of Glendale and R. T. Fulton Of
O&es were present from this county.
". A. Caldwell of Monango, Dickey
county's president, was reelected on the
executive committee.
