ANOTHER GOOD FILM
 IS SHOWN AT FOX'S

"The Ghost" which is being shown at Foxs, tells this story:
 Peter Whitten was the boldest buc- cancer of his time, which was early in the nineteenth century. But the pain that Peters pursuits caused old Ezra Whitten, a wealthy mariner, was lessened by the sterling character of his younger son, Gabriel; and sec iEg that there was no hope of reform ing Peter, the old gentleman centered all his love and hope in Gabriel. Gabriel is in love With Joan Moore, daughter of the keeper of Ye Lion Inne. In conversation with her lover one day, Joan confesses that her father is in dire financial difficulties. Gabriel suggests visit to his father. Ezra Whitten willingly supplies the money Rufus needs and Moore, in turn, gives a note promising to re- turn the money in ninety days A month later Whitten, the elder, dies. By the terms of his will Whitten cuts off his son Peter and leaves Gabriel his entire fortune, consisting of some uncollected accounts and chest of gold, buried on a distant island
 To prove his fairness Gabriel agrees to divide the buried treasure if Peter will help him locate it. Peter con- sents and together the brothers set out as directed in a crude map left by their father They find the treas ure with little difficulty, but on the return to the boat Gabriel is caught i1s quicksand and though he pleads for help, Peter leaves him to his fate. Returning to the village with the chest of gold and jewels, Peter an- nounces that Gabriel was lost in the quicksands, despite his efforts to save him. Peter demands payment of the note. Moore begs for time and Peter grants day of grace. The next night, despite a fearful. electrical storm, Peter journeys to the Inne for his money. ...s
 Moore pays the debt and Peter is about to leave, when Joan invites him to pass the night at the tavern and thus avoid the terrible storm. Peter accepts and Joan shows him to his room above the bar. When Peter is safely in the room, Joan turns the key from the hall and locks him in. Peter prepares to retire, but does not feel at ease. He glances at the bed and is startled. He smiles and rubs his eyes, looks again and rear over powers him, for he recognizes the head on the pillow as Gabrieps. Gabriel removes the white sheet that covers his street apparel and quickly explains how he was saved from the quicksands by passing fishermen, how he told Joan when he reached the ! Inne and how Joan hit upon the idea of awakening Peters conscience. Had they followed Peter they would have seen him in the storeroom of his home guarding the treasure from an imaginary apparition. Also they would have seen him upset a box that allowed the cases stored high against the walls to tumble upon him. They might have saved his life, but they did not find him until the next day.

or individual-but I don't want crit
 icism to stop at ridicule I want the
 new theory to be understood, to be weighed in the balance, to be retained
 as to those parts of 1t which are worth While .r. '"The public wants something that 1t can depend on for truth and clean thinking, and, believe me, 1t is sick and tired of reading from day to day it's own paltry and unnourished opin- ions reflected in the newspapers. A healthy community, like a healthy in- dividual, wants new standards all the time, and, the range of individual ex- perience being so limited, it depends upon those whose range of life is greater to furnish it with the newest standards"
 There were no facts of life, she said, no matter how startling, that the pub lie would shrink from, if presented sincerely and with high degree of artistry.
 II look upon the press" she went on, "as one of the most valuable, if not sacred, of all human institutions, more powerful even than the drama in the matter of education and just as powerful nowadays as the movies , will be in the future. It seems to me then that in the discharge of this educational function it must make use of a more than average intelli- gence, more than average conscien- tiousness, more than average amount of sympathy and enlightenment Upon it thousands upon thousands of indi- viduals depend for education and ac- quaintance with life in all it's phases

Mrs Inez Milholland Boissevain, with her husband at her side, was heckled for more than an hour at the Press club Wednesday in New York without losing her temper or her smile, although she began to roll tip her sleeves once, when some one sug- gested that Colorado had gone back ward since the vote was given to women.
 Some one wanted to know if the ballot had not made women coarser. Another wanted to know if it had not tended to break up the home, while an elderly man with side whiskers. solemnly asked why the women of California had abused the ballot by voting for Roosevelt. Mrs. Boisse- vain stood her ground firmly, her hus- band every once in a while smilingly whispering suggestions.
 About the only question Mrs. Bois- sevain really sidetracked was the sub ject of her talk: Have the Press Treated the Suffrage Question Fairly?" After bit of coaxing, she said the American press had, if contrasted with the newspapers of England. Mrs. Boissevain, however, objected to what she said was the conventionalism of the press, asserting that the news papers should get a working acquain- tance with new questions of life.
 At present" she said, ''the incli- nation when it is not to vilify a new theory, is to ridicule it. Now, I have no objection to ridicule-in fact, I think it is the healthiest test possible as to the worthwhileness of any idea

Drink More Water if Kid.
 neys Bother.
Eat less meat and take Salts for Backache or Bladder N
 trouble.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid- neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two OF three times during the night When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be real sick person shortly At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from back ache, sick headache, dizziness, sto- mach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water,,' also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts; take table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lith;a, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal actiy- ity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source o<' irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot ip- lure: makes delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

are easily equal to our necessities,

Some of the rich are slOthful and

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN.

BY N. D. COCHRAN.
Judge Neff a Human Being.-I
don't feelIike giving three cheers for
a judge, but there's one down in
Cleveland, Ohio, who happens to be
human being as well as a good judge
and my hats off to him.
20 His name is William B. Neff, and
he found way to make the law pro-
tect human beings as well as prop
erty rights.
Here's the story. Several hundred
school teachers in Cleveland decided
to affiliate with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The school board
adopted rule that no teachers who
were members of a labor union could
teach in the Cleveland schools. Judge
Neff issued an Injunction restraining
the superintendent, ]. M. H. Fred
erick, from carrying out the rule.
Frederick tried to get around the in
junction by failing to reappOint GER
tain teachers, some of the best in the
schools. He gave other reasons than
the fact that they voted in favor of
the union.
Judge Neff yanked Frederick up
for contempt of court. After a II
days trial Judge Neff found Frederick
guilty of contempt and withheld SEN
tence to give Frederick a chance to
put the teachers back on the pay
roll, telling the superintendent that
if the court had the power it would
reinstate the teachers, and advising
Neff to right the great wrong by re-
Installing them himself.
Judge Neff gave Frederick a lee
ture from the bench he will never for
get. He said the board had no right
to pass the rule; that the teachers
had a right to organize; that.the prin-
ciple of the rule was Un-American,
unpatriotic and unjust.
Labor unions are lawful organiza-
TONS, he said. cit is grossly unjust
