THE REMEDY HABIT

To many man his Wife's remedy habit is more or loss of a joke. Not so as to the physician who is called in when the remedy has had un- tors, whose business it is to know what is good for the human body are quick to express their disapprova1 of continued use of any. remedy not made mp by prescription.
 Most women have a pet headache cure that is only a local remedy and for the time being. It. is therefore more harmful than helpful. Head aches are not a real i'll in themselves. They are part of some other ill, and the cause should first be removed. never mind about the pain of the moment
 I know one girl who has the cam phor habit She fancies that because camphor once cured her of a very had cold, that a canptor and sugar mixture will cure almost any i'll un- der the sun, and she is constantly re- sorting to it.
 Another woman I know has a far worse habit than the one Juse mem tEoned. Not only she but her entire family, ranging down to a baby of six. live on duinsne pills in their house. and they take a pill almost every time they think of it.
 This family once lived in a town where malaria was prevalent. and they used quinine to counteract the dis ease. The habit was acquired in this way. but wasn't left when they left their old town Tn the past year the HenfaI bill for this family wtts over tsaree hundred dollars. and not one month during ten years has their bill for tooth treatment gone below ten dollars All the family are extremely thin, and their complexions have a. greenish hue. yet they don't admit that qufnfne is injurious.

 There's something else in that bulb beside the wire but you do not see the other thing.
 The thing you do not see is EFFICI- ENCY. Spell that word in capital let ters please, MT Printer, for it is the most important thing in an electric light bulb and one man put it there His name is Thomas Alva Edison, in ventor.
 Years ago, Edison said he was go- ing to put grand opera in every home. He did, by means of the phonograph. They laughed at the idea at first.

EMPIRE THEATRE

The big special feature at Keeney's s popular Empire theatre which is de- ] serving the of the titles "Tf1e house Of surprises,, for Friday. June 9th and Saturday. June 9th, will be The Ring and the Man., with MT. Bruce McRae, the famous and distinguished American actor in the leading role. This is the latest release of the B'a- nous Players and it is said to be the best feature picture ever turned out by this concern.
 The poise and power which won McRae his laure1s upon the stage stand him in good stead in this dra- matic finn The customary beautiful settings which have become a distin- guished feature of Famous Players films add to the interest of the story, which opens in Western mining town. where Fordyce takes upon him self the guilt of a supposed murder.
 He comes East, assuming the name of Gorm1y, and becomes extremely wealthy. The traction ring opposes his efforts to run 9, railroad through a tenement district and attempts to muIct GornnIy of two million dollars for the privilege" He fights the ring and announces himself candidate for mayor of the city.
 Meanwhile he has met Eleanor Hall dane. the daughter of the prime mover in the ring, and in deference to 
 ton of model tenements to replace those destroyed to make room for his railroad. HaIdene knew Gornly in the old days and recognizes him. The woman whom Gormly shielded in the mining town appears in the city and informs Haldane of the written con- fession which Gornnly made at the time Of the alleged murder
 HaIdane wires the sherin back in Kill Devil Creek that Fordyce has i been found, and asking him to come East with his confession, which the sherin has in his possession. Not only does the sherif bring the confession but he also brings the man whom Fordyce was supposed to have killed, and who knows that it was his own wife, the in9orEner, who did the ac- tuaI shooting.
 With his witnesses all assembled, Haldane cenfronts Gormly and threat ems him with arrest if he does not withdraw from the Mayoralty race. His house of cards is swept away when. the man with whose death GornIy is charged, walks into the room and denounces his wife as the would be murderer.
 Of course Gormly is elected Mayor and wins Ha1dane's daughter. but on- Iy a. few feet Of film have been de- voted to these necessary details, and the film holds the interest to the last minute.
 Tn addition to the big feature, s'The Ring and the Man. there will be six other big features including two spe- ciaI surprises. The prices will continue to be ana 10 cents at the matinees and ten cents all over the house at the evening performances-

 It is not more wonderful predic- ton than the two other mentioned Make coal into electricity, you say. well why .no ct 2'' Edison says he can do it and he has always made good
 He says it can be done. No one else can even approximate a method for doing it, but the man who found the way to make pictures talk and who put the ehiciency into the sealed cleo tric light bulb has the confidence of the public. He will do it.
 Talking pictures will go down in history as one of the worlds greatest inventions. When their use is fully developed, they will revolutionlze things.
 They will make it possible Tor a man to be seen and heard in thou sand places at the same moment.
 Tn years to come, presidential mes sages may be delivered in every town and hamlet of the United States oy the president himself. Great men of fu- ture generations will never die Their forms will continue to move in the sight of men long after they are gone. Their voices will go down ecnolns through century after cenury
 There will never be another Ser mon on the Mount There will never be another 'sWashington' FareSeli Address. There will never be another eIdncoln's Gettysburg Address, yet in future years there may be things as worthy of preservation. The great men of the future are sure that pos terity will judge them aright for they will be able to speak to postertty. They will be able to talk to men born long after they themselves are dead-yes, speak to them and be seen of them
 Think of the tremendous possloa1- ties Of these talking pictures that Fdison has perfected. Have you seen them? Have you heard them They are at the Lyric Theatre all this
