European War Pictures

Tonight, at the Majestic Theatre,
there will be presented the most SEN
sational moving picture that has, as
yet, been shown to the public. The
most vital topic of the day is the Euro
pean war and through the special per-
mission of the Belgian government, the
Popular Motion Picture Company has
been able to secure four reels depicting
the actual warfare on hattlehelds of
Belgium. These are absolutely the
first and only authentic moving pictures
that have been made of this tremen.

win F. Weigle, staff photographer Of
the Chicago "Tribune,' under con-
tract which was made with the condi-
tion that SO per cent. of the sale of
the pictures beg iven to the Belgian
Red Cross.
There are pictures of infantry in ac-
ton; of the artillery fire; of soldiers
falling and comrades pulling them from
the trenches; and of Red Cross workers
helping the wounded, Belgian and Ger
man alike, after the battle. Also there
are refugees, thousands of them, ever
present, hurrying from the advancing
Germans, and then miles of ruined
cities and villages and shell furrowed
roads. Burning cities, broken and
ruined bridges, soldiers and citizens ly-
ing dead, side by side, also have been
caught on Mr.. Weigle's film. There
are 4,500 feet of film, divided into
four reels. The pictures show the Bat
ties of Alost, of Lerre, of Aerschot,
of Malines, and the fall of Antwerp.

At the Orpheum

Such an unusually varied assortment

week hasn't been seen there for some
time. Merit is the word that applies
to the show from beginning to end. Va

fun and tuneful singing, there is Bart
McHugh s juvenile production called
son the School Fairgrounds that is

it Bl Brendel, the loosely connected
dancing comedian, injects no. end of
hearty laughter. Another comedy nov

Fern and company.
Comedy and pathos are happily in
termingled and the acting of both
comedians and dramatic players, is of
the first water. AS the fruit dealer,
barber, ETC., just outside the soldiers ;
"hcme' Harry Fern hands out no end
of good laughs. ClaWlius and Scarlet,
the pleasing couple with the banjos, are
also another of the pleasing turns this
week. After playing some of the latest
hits, this duo goes in for some of the
old time melodies and as they play the
piece the words Of the song are thrown
on the picture screen. The result is
that the audience becomes q chorus and
everybody is singing or humming the

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take
Salts

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water
Rheumatism is direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which Is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and east it out In
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and faii
to eliminate the uric acid which Keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system. eventually settling IN the

BRONCHIAL Coughs

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inhamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Enul-
sion. 1t 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 Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.

Maat off the Fntnre

The following is taken from an edl-
torial in the current issue of "Farm
and Fireside:"
"We have learned to speak OF the
breeding of rabbits with some con-
tempt. But in Germany rabbit-grow'
ing is an increasing business, and the
demand for rabbit meat has tripled the
price in FIVE years.
doctor Raebinger, an eminent sci
enlist associated with the German Agri-
cultural Association, has published an
analysis which shows the flesh of the
rabbit to be the most nourishing of all
meats. The rabbit resembles the sheep
in the fact that his coat is a consider
able element in his value. Rabbit fur
is very extensively used as a substitute
for the rarer wild furs, and is sold un-
der such names as ermine.. cony, and
the like.
"It took the Angora goat several
years to acquire an economic status as
to both flesh and fell, but it has now
become established We may expect
the rabbit to do likewise in time.'
