SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"

Gaskill & MaoVitty announce the return at the E'ks theatre today, mat- inee and night, of Harold Bel Wright's dramatization of his very popular novel, "The Shepherd of the Hills," presented by great company with special scenery, mechanical and electrical effects for the production in it's entirety. In making the dram- atization, MT. Wright has collaborat- ed with Elsbery W. Reynolds.
 The Shepherd of the Hills is a story of humor and pathos told in a simple, direct manner of love, mys- tery and herioism, with it's scenes all in the Ozark mountains, Southern Missouri, where the author lived and preached for some years. There are several exciting incidents, including the night ride of the splendid heroine over the hills through a storm
 attack upon the shepherd, and tAe moral victory of a man when par ther is about to spring upon his rival but there is no melodramatic touch | the play.

THE CITY
CIVIC ESTABLISHMENT
 NECESSARY FOR CITIES.
Streets Should Be Given Proper At-
 tention In Every Detail.

However well city may be planned, it's avenues laid out and it's parks pro- vided in liberality, it will fail of realiz- ing it's full advantages unless it's streets are properly embellished, kept clear of nuisances and given proper at tention in every detail.
 Such embellishment consists, among other features, of boulevards, esplan- ades, bridge and park approaches, wa ter gates, quays, plazas, squares, bay fronts, terraces. monuments, statuary, fountains, trees, grass plots, artistically designed electroliers, trolley poles and other structures and details.
 The combination of such features makes up the impression given by the streets, and just at this point careless ness, neglect or inadequacy in the treatment of small structures or other objects is likely to destroy the whole effect and spoil what has been accom- plished at the cost of much time, skill. labor and expense.
 A rigid policy of exclusion of all un- necessary objects and the ornamenta- tiOn or concealment of those that must remain should be followed. The most careful attention must be given to each

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af- tected with that weakening, tickling cough, they need immediate and sen- sible treatment. The breath seems shorter because of mucous obstruc- lions; usually fever is present and your head jars with every cough. Your chest aches and the inhamma- tion often spreads to the lungs.
 The food-tonic that has proven it's worth for forty years-is Scott's Emul- sion. It drives out the cold, which is the root of the trouble, and checks the cough by aiding the healing process of the enfeebled membranes.
 If you are troubled with bronchitis or know an afflicted friend, always re- member that Scotts Emulsion builds strength while relieving the trouble

BEST THEATRE TO-DAY.

"The New Magdalen" is an eXcep tionally fine Biograph feature in two reels; it is an adoption of Wilkie Collins well-known novel and is pre- sented by strong cast, including Vivian Prescott and Charles Malies. The story deals with the fall of Mercy Merrick, who, when exhausted, is given wine by a stranger, and who is later arrested for shoplifting; she is sent to prison, though innocent. and upon her release attempts to lead different life; the circumstances that lead her to impersonate wom- an whom she thinks dead that she. Mercy, may have a new chance in life and the tremendous drama that fol- lows with her past always rising up to accuse her, make this picture. as acted by the Biograph players. a headliner.
 "Helen's Sacrifice is the first of a new series of thrilling railroad pic. lures by the Kalem company: this series is entitled "The Hazards ot Helen," and each photoplay is com plete in itself; Helen Holmes has in, leading role in this series.

 4 CIVIC ENTERPRISE.
Young Folks of NorwaIk, Conn, Cen.
 duct Vegetable Displays.

A children's market is the latest in- novation in the civic enterprise of Nor walk, Conn. This market is conducted Saturday mornings from to 10 o'clock on the main street in front of the Nor walk hotel by the garden committee of the Norwalk Civic league. On display are ali sorts of garden truck grown by the youngsters of Norwalk ill their own gardens. For several years the committee has awarded prizes for the best six children's gardens in town. A few weeks ago the chairman, Miss D. S. Pinneo, hit upon this additional in- ducement to juvenile industry
 Prices are fixed by a representative of the Civic league after inspecting the wares offered and consulting with nearby tradesmen. Account is kept of each child's sales, and at the end of the season a prize will be given to the youngster with the best record.
 "The market is part of our plan to beautify Norwalk," said Miss Pinneo, chairman of the garden committee "We encourage the children to plant gardens, supplying the seeds free as an inducement. Our inspectors make sure that the children are doing the work themselves. So far. so good. But then our small farmers had the fruits of their labors and no outlet. So we planned this market. and we are de- lighted with the results. There has been a decided incfease in trade since the Cpeninc day q few weeks ago."

Rapid Growth of Amusement that Less
 ems Juvenile Disease and Crime.
 A report given out recently by the Playground and Recreation Association of America includes the following in teresting statements:
 Thirty years ago playgrounds were almost unthought of. Today it has been proved that almost any city. with the help of the association's expert enced field men. can secure not one playground. but municipal recreation system side by side with the school system.
 Jane AddamS and Dr. Charles W. Eliot. in q letter regarding the ;.sSocia- tion. have said:
 ''There are few opportunities for con- tributing more effectively to the less ening of juvenile disease and crime. producing social and industrial etfi ciency and increasing the joy of life"
 Birmingham. Ala: Dayton. O.: Ish. peming. Mich: Kansas City. Mo; I.ynchburg. Va: Montreal. Canada: Red Bank. N J.; Scranton. Pa.: Sioux City. Ia.: Tampa. Fla. and Wheeling. w. Va. have all established year round recreation systems during the past twelve months. and Indianapolis. Ind. and Rochester. N. Y.. have had assist nnce in trying to develop more cotnpre- hensive municipal recreation.
 Eighty-three American cities have now what all communities need-play leaders employed throughout the year. Twenty-four million of the country's 3OOOO.OOO children live in communities where playgrounds or other organized recreational activities are not available throughout the year. For over 21 .OO0 OOO of these ,childen there are not even summer playgrOunds.

Statues For Juveniles.

Superintendents of public parks the country over are beginning to follow she English idea of setting aside tracts for the sports of young people, and those having such matters in charge are urging that the statuary gracing public playgrounds should be of the sort to appeal to boys and girls.
 Chicago. for example. has long had a statue in Lincoln park before which many little one has paused. well nigh in reverence. It is that of Hans Christian Andersen. the famous writer of tales for children, The statue not only interprets the personality of the children.s favorite author. but leads young and old to hunt up his biography and his stories and read them anew

JAPANESE CITIES BACKWARD.
Do Not Compare With American Mu-

Do Not Compare With American Mu-
 nicipaIities In Civic Improvements.
 Following is an extract from q con- sular report from Consul George N. Wish, stationed at Kobe. Japan:
 Japanese cities are very backward with respect to municipal improve ments as compared with American cities. There will be a large field in this direction some of these days. how ever, for American enterprise. There is no city in Japan with q sewage sys- tenn and none that know of in which the streets are lighted or paved. Just BOW the city of Kobe is engaged in two large works. the harbor works and waterworks. which have been tagging considerably for lack of funds. No city can undertake anything of this kind without the permission of the central government at Tokyo.
 The incidence of taxation in Japan is very high while the wealth per capita is very low, and the government at Tokyo has been making strenuous eff forts at retrenchment in order to re lieve the strain and adjust the finances. There are in this consular district one city of 1,250,OOO inhabitants. three of about 45O,0OO and numerous smaller ones. so that when the time is judged favorable there will be very large amount of this kind of work under taken. I should advise Americans who are interested in these various lines to keep in touch with the general tinan clal situation in Japan.
 With regard to city roads, there are no curbs outside of the foreign conccs- sion, and they are only repaired with shingle from the seashore. This an swers the purpose, after fashion. as there is no heavy wheeled traffic, and consequently the need for pavement is not very pressing. One firm in Kobe laid down at it's own expense a short strip of asphalt paving as an experi ment. which induced the city to pave in this way the principal shopping street for short way. and the tram way company has put down granite blocks in one particularly busy street
