The Innocent.

Support Her.
In the new one-reel play featuring
King Baggot, leading man of the Uni
versaI company, as a detective, in the
series that he is putting out for the Imp
brand, there is plot that is unusually
novel and big. It concerns the mystic
rious death of man that defes sOlu-
ton from every one until BaggOt is put
on the case. The story in brief is as
follows:
Cecil Disney, a noted chemist, is ex-
perimenting to discover how to manu-
facture artificial rubber. During one Of
his experiments he accidentally mixes
two toxins, the combustion of which
creates a deadly fume In order not to be
overcome by the lethal gas he throws
it in the laboratory sink and slams the
hood down. At that moment his wife,

sink, inhales the chemical fumes and is
instantly killed. The chemist is arrested
and is about to be convicted for murder
when the great detective, King, is put on
the case and succeeds in solving the
mystery.
Mr.. Baggot plays a double role-that
of the detective and the chemist. Jane
Gail and Frank Smith play important
parts.

GALL TO THE CLERGY
FOR SILENT SERMONS
TO THE MANY MILLIONS
The Lubn Company Offers the Screen as Medium Through
Which Morality May be Taught Without Words
to World Wide CONGREGATIONS

The Lubin Manufacturing Company
has boldly made appeal to the clergy of
America to supply it with scenarios of
photO-plays that will bring home to
millions of people the lessons they are
now endeavoring to teach to scores or
hundreds.
And, Furthermore, the Lubin Company
will pay such clergymen as listen to its
appeal for all acceptable scenarios.
The appeal begins with reference to
a thought that must be ever present to
preachers Of the Word-how few, after
all, are those to whom he can deliver
by his voice the Masters message of
love, of charity, of humbleness, of high

trust, been the means of Strengthening
some failing souls, of reviving the eour-
age Of some who were faint-hearted, of
bringing hope to some who were de-
spairing.
I'VE invite the submission of scenarios,

the theatre, which compel an artificial
setting with painted scenery, no longer
exist when the outdoor scenes are taken
in natures studio, as in this picture.
Many scenes referred to only i'm words
on the stage are actually seen in the pic
ture version, thus enhancing the color
and interest of the story and permitting
of more artistry in the INSTALLATION of
the spiritUelle character of Juliet. the
sightless child, which role is interpreted
by Mary PickfOrd with a wealth of
pathos which appeals straight to the
heart Of even the most seasoned re-
viewer.
The picture is unusually full of ac-
ton, and every gesture has a meaning
all its own. Special mention should
be made of the wording and arrange
ment of the titles, which do not insult
the intelligence by the obviousness Of
the message they convey, as so many
titles nowadays do, but rather lend
charm by their poetic conception and
aptness in selection. They are clearly
the work of that genius, Bonnie Schulz
berg, whose versatile gifts are fast carv-
ing out for him an enviable niche in the
hall of fame.
The wicked old aunt is played by a
man on broad comedy lines. and at first
seems incOngruOUs amidst setting
wherein the other roles are acted in all

TOAD A VALUABLE SERVANT
Its Uses in the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition It
Has Long Deserved.

Few well-meaning creatures have,
been more thoroughly misunderstood
than the homely, meditative and re-
firing toad
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile, but in our day it's
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and its great value TO the
promologist and gardener has been
fully established on account of its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should. therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance Of the in
sectivorous reptiles, including the
striped snake, as well as that of
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear Of these
and would be found more desirable
than a cat, as they are wholly free
from trespassing on the rights of man
as does the cat The toad is pos
sessed of a timid and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many instances might be cited OF
pet toads remaining several years in
Il family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu-
ton.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep in check the null
tiplication of the insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc.

GRADE Seed Oil.

Oil from grape seeds has become a
byproduct of the wine industry in por-
tons of France, Italy and Wuertem-
berg. The Bulletin of the American
Association of Commerce and Trade,
published in Berlin, says that the first
pressing, obtained cold, is of edible
oil; that extracted by pressing and
heating is dark and bitter, and is used
for lighting purposes and in the max
ing of soap. 1t is described as a good
substitute for the expensive oils used
in the textile industry. About 90
pounds of oil may be expressed from
the seeds of grapes yielding 2642 gal
Ions of wine.

Young goslings long battle conjecture

Newman says that when six or
seven months OF age, or at maturity,
the ganders can be told from the
geese by observation. In most cases
the male grows somewhat larger than
the female,

ganders will lower and stretch out

Gilbert refers to the same method,

heads down at the dog and hiss, while
the geese will keep their heads up and
try to avoid the intruder.
