What Women Admire.

What women most admire in a
man is self control, to be the master
of himself and incidentally of the
situation. In consequence the ill
tempered, hectoring husband is de-
tested. The bully, who is cruel to
his wife and children, outrages his
own dignity more than he hurts
them, and this is the one offense
for which a woman will never for
BILE as men to flattery, and the spite
full man who INDUCES in sighting
remarks about the sex in general is
usually no favorite with it, which
may account for his failing.

VOWels VS. Bowels.

A Kansas exchange says that one
of the high school students there
handed in the following among the
answers to her examination ques-
tions. The class in physiology was
taking written examination, and
among other questions was the fol-
lowing: State into how many
parts the human body is divided"
The girl student answered as fol-
lows:-"The human body is divid-
ed into three parts, the head, the
chest and the stummick. The head
contains the eyes and brains, if any.
The chest contains the lungs and
part of the liver. The stummick is
devoted to the bowels, of which
there is five, a, e, |, O, u and some

MERCHANTS AND DRUGS.
General Merchants of Iowa Must
Comply With State Law Which
Went Into Effect July list.

Time is up for the general mer-
chants of Iowa to clear their shelves
of all drugs the sale of which is le-
gally monopolized by the pharma-
cists of the state. The state pharma-
cy board gave them until August 1
to dispose of old stocks and conform
to the law. At a meeting held last
January, at which were representa-
tives of the merchants and drug
gists and the legal department of
the state, it was agreed that a GER
tain list of materials or chemicals
should be regarded as the so-called
domestic drugs" of the statute
which general merchants may sell.
All others must be handled only by
registered pharmacists. So, if any
dealer sells anything other than in
the designated list, he is open to
prosecution since the first day of
this month. The domestic drug list
is:
Olive oil, castor oil, household
alum, carbonate of ammo
mia (bakersD, borax, boraxo, but
ter color, glycerin, peroxide (only
and not for medicinal use), plain
vaseline, saltpeter, glauber salts,
Sassafras bark, commercial sulphur,
extract of peppermint (flavoring on
ly), sulphate of iron or copperas,
moth balls, bayrum, camphorated
oil, witch hazel.

MONEY IN MOVIES.
Five Million People See Them Daily.
And Over $5O,OOO,OOO Are In
vested in the Business.

When you shove your dime
through the boXloffice window of
your favorite movie theatre, it joins
a current of coin that registers a
total daily admission fee-in the
United States alone-of $1,000,000:
The theatre you enter is bank in
chain of picture houses that
placed side by side, would stretch
from New York to Hartford. The
film that flashes it's thrill and ro-
nance on the screen before you is
part of farfung belt of animated
Icelluloid that in the course of a year
would girdle the globe nearly three
times over.
Five million of people, more than
all the residents of Paris and Chica-
so combined, see the movies every
day in the week and over $5O,0OO,-
600, or we'll nigh twice the amount
of 'greenbacks" in circulation, are
invested in the business; a rorce of
men and women equal to the popula-
ton of Kansas City is engaged in
creating and exploiting it. Such is
the extent and scope of the motion
picture which in decade has risen
from toy to amusement necessity
So quickly and naturally has the
photoplay entered into the pursuit
of diversion that we have scarcely
paused to measure it's amazing fl
nancial side. We have been told al
good deal about the picturesqueness
of its production; how it has be-
come the economic life saver of the
legitimate actor; the vivid historian
of progress; the first aid to educa-
ton; how time, literature and his
tory from the crucifixion down
through Lies Miserables" to the fall
of Torreon have been ransacked to
feed the mighty reel of $4,000 miles
of film that comprises our annual
output.
But these are the obvious and ex-
ternal features. Behind all the tu-
multi and clash of this sensational
advance, which vies with the growth
of the automobile in swiftness of ev-
olution, and where the historian of
motion-pictures progress seldom
delves, is the real bulwark of it's
now recognized stability-the do
main of it's dollars.
1t is impossible to get at the ex-
act motion-picture gross and net in
come figures for the United States.
1t is estimated, however, that there
are 10S film releases in this
country every week. By release"
is meant a film play let loose for
examination. This piles up a week
ly film literature of 10S negatives
from each Of which thirty to eigh-
ty positives are printed and sold
Each production has it's own scale
of price cost; it's own particular
expense of distribution. Hence the
difficulty in hazarding a statement
about returns.
But competent and conservative
producers will tell you that the to-
tai gross revenue to the American
film producers is not less than
$50, 100000 year. Since we cal
culated the outlay to be $4,000
900, the profit would be in the
of $30,000,000. To
this must be added the profit that
comes to the producers who own,
control or have some sort of inter
est in the various exchanges.

Near the place where she had been
ironing Mrs. Blumenberg was lying on
the floor. still conscious and moaning
from the pain of her wound.
Officers carried Mrs. Blumenberg
into the front room where she gave a
woman friend the address of her son
by former marriage, Ambrose Lash
ley, Tacoma. Wash, and requested
that he be notified Then she gave her
friend purse containing her savings.
While awaiting the arrival of the
ambulance Mrs. Blumenberg said moth
ing about the tragedy nor made any in
qulrles concerning the condition of her
husband, who was painfully gasping
away his life in the next room. Within
twenty minutes after Mrs. Blumenberg
had been removed to the hos pital her
husband died, his body resting in a
pool of blood.
Drinks in Saloons.
Blumenberg's family live at Wells

was at Wheeling, where they were
married about six years ago. They

and had resided most Of the time in

While here Blumenberg was employed
as bartender at saloons owned by
George Muey. Ed Muey and Henry
Schell, and for a time worked at

while working in saloons and for that
reason was not able to hold a position
in them for any length of time. While
employed at the factory he was de-
pendable and hard working mechanic.
