MOVIE
Theater With
MOVING
Roof

Try MEANS Of motor-operated roof
n leaves, the Princess Theater, Merid-
ian, Miss, can be quickly con-
verted into an open-air auditorium. or at
the approach Of a sudden shower the COW
ering can be almost instantly rolled back
into place while the performance goes on
uninterrupted, says the Electrical World.
The opening in the roof is equipped with
movable leaves which travel on small rails
and are operated by cables passing over
a double drum gear-driven by a three
horsepower motor. The two closed cable
loops are wrapped on the drum in opposite
directions and each operates one leaf.
The control rope, which moves stimuli
taneously with the main leaves, has dogs
mounted at the limits Of its travel These
dogs operate a reversing switch which
stops the motor and connects il ready for
starting in the opposite direction. About
one minute is required to open or close
the roof, moving both leaves through their
entire travel. The construction of the
joints about the opening is such that the
roof is thoroughly weatherproof. Motor.
gears and switches are housed in roof
boxes. The proprietor of the show
house is we'll pleased with the innovation
which affords him all the advantages OF an
outdoor open-air theater with full protec-
ton during Indictment weather.

manure cannot be used afterward
This effect has been explained as be-
ing due to the sterilization produced by
the steam, which kills the phagocytes
or protocol which in ordinary circum-
stances keep down the number of BAG
terra in the soil whose operations are
beneficent in turning organic nitrogen
into form suitable for plant food.
May it not be, however, that the large
amount of steam-destroyed life has con-
tributed its own store of nitrogen?

FERTILIZE the SOIL by STEAM

- OR some time certain growers Of
tomatoes. cucumbers and similar
vegetables for the London market
have been injecting steam into the soil
with a view to destroying certain insects
and slugs.
1t is reported that the plan works very
we'll for that purpose, but the operation
brought to light an unexpected fact;
namely, that the soil thus treated in
creased greatly in fertility; so greatly,
in fact, that the ordinary amount OF

Contraction
OF SUN

A DOPING the well-known hypothe-
n sis of Helmholtz, which attributes
the production of the heat emitted
by the sun to its contraction, an idea
can be formed of the suns duration.
II one gives to the sun a coeficient OF
expansion intermediate between that of
mercury and that Of gas one arrives at
the conclusion that 1t has taken 1,000,-
900 to 1000, 900 of years for the sun to
contract to its present radius; in partic-

to contract from ininity to a radius

MRS. HOLLAND

The subject of this sketch, Mrs.
Vannie Holland, was born in Sumter
county, FLORIDA, October 18th, 1913,
and departed this life in Martel,
Florida, September 18th, 1914.
Mrs. Hollands maiden name was
Ndobley. She was married to j. j.
Holland, March 5th, 1870. OF their
union there were seven children,
three boys and four girls, five of
whom, two boys and three girls, sur
vive. All of these save one son, are
married. These, with their families,
and the aged husband and father, re-
main to mourn the loss of the depart
ed loved one But in their sorrow
they are comforted. for they know
where wife and mother has gone.
Sister Holland became a Christian
| in early life and continued steadfast-
lIy to the end. Her children say they
do not remember when she was not
Christian, and her husband says,
There are none better than She"
She was a peacemaker. She loved
peace and promoted peace-in the
home and elsewhere. The last pas
sage of scripture she ever quoted in
church-just A few weeks before her
death was: Blessed are the peace
makers for they shall be called the
children of Cod
Believing in this passage literally
she lived up to it.
Her children rise up and call her
blessed.
Her influence was all for good. and
she will be missed.

CIubwomen possess a fine spirit to-

One Of the weakest features in
women's club work is our tendency
to omit to make a thorough study of
question before undertaking prac-
teal work along the chosen line Of
reform improvement. Goethe has
well said, Nothing is more danger
Gus than ignorance at work. and
every little while havoc and distress
are wrought for no better reason
than wen-meaning people undertake
work in itself good, but bound TO
suffer unless it be undertaken with q
proper understanding of the basic
truths involved in it. | am some
times rather keenly struck with the
| fact that when a woman discovers q
need that is new to her she assumes
that the need is likewise new to the
world; whereas, a careful study Of
the question would show her thai
the very steps in reform she wishes
to take have already been taken and
been found to lead nowhere.

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"

VINO Arc just cNeauy TO OIop.
When you are "just ready to DROP"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: II was in bad
Iy rundown condition for several
weeks but two bottles Of Vinol put
me ON my feet again and made me
strong and well Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medt
cines I ever took"
II the careworn, rundown women,
the pale, sickly children and feeble
old folks around here would follow
Miss Dumas example, they, too. would
soon be able to say that Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron remedy,
had built them up and made them
strong.
1t is a wonderful, strength creator
and body-builder, and we sell it I'M
der a guarantee OF satisfaction. You
get your money back If Vinol does
not help you.

For inexpensive green, sprinkle
canary seed upon wet moss or a

few flowers a charming effect can

When tired and hungry take a
cup of hot soup for quick refresh
ment rather than tea or coffee.

Toned pork cake: Take one pound

dark-brown sugar, one of New Or
leans .molasses, one teaspoonful Of
soda stirred into molasses, one
pound of raisins, one pound of
dates chopped, one-fourth pound

Less Dyspepsia Now
Here's the Reason

The fact that there is less dys-
pepsia and indigestion in this COM
munity than there used to be is
largely, we believe due to the ex-
tensive use of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, hundreds of packages of
which we have sold. No wonder
we have faith in them. No wonder
we are willing to offer them to you
for trial entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medical science. They soothed the
inflamed stomach, allay pain, check
heartburn and distress, help to di
gest the food. and tend to quickly
restore the stomach to its natural.
comfortable, healthy state.
There is no red tape about our
guarantee. 1t means just what it
says. Well ask you no questions.
Your word is enough for us. If Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets don't restore
your stomach to health and make
your digestion easy and comforta-
Bile, we want you to come back for
your money. They are sold only at
the 1000 Rexall Stores, and in this
town only by US. Three sizes. Csc,

When a splinter gets under fin
ger nail it is often very hard to

top of the finger and then kept wet
and cold it will in time both draw
out the splinter and keep the finger
