TO HELP SUFFERERS.

New York, Feb. 4.-Announcement was made last night that officers of various Jewish societies in America and Christian missionary organizations have formed a committee to appeal for funds for the relief of the desti- tute inhabitants of Palestine, Syria and adjacent regions. The committee, known as the Palestine-Syria relief committee, says that an appalling measure of misery and threatened starvation exists -over a region larger in area than Belgium, and among people equal in numbers-Christian Jews and Mohammedans. The com mittee appeals for help irrespective of faith and race.

ROBERT EDISON NEXT,
 BIG ACTOR AT FOX'S

double offering catering to the boards at F>ox's for today in the screen presentation of the sixth and latest chapter of the great Hearst-Pathe serial motion picture story, Exploits of Elaine,' and Thomas Jefferson, son of the immortal Joseph, in Rip Van Winkle.' The remarkable story of "Elaine,'' written by Arthur Reeves in collaboration with Charles God dard, the author of '"The ,Perils of Pauline," has taken an immense hold on all of the motion picture deVotees, both in this town and elsewhere and while the story is of the most fas- cinating kind. it possesses that taint of mystery and thrills running the gamut of all human emotions, that is satisfying in the extreme. Today's chapter deals with The Vampire" and shows the very latest methods resorted to by ''The Clutching Hand," the master criminal, in bringing about what he may desire criminally done.
 The adaptation of Rip Van Wink1e'' from the original manuscript used by the immortal Joseph Jefer- son, is certa intly a most magnificent production. and the appearance of Thomas in the leading role adds much to the artistic side of the Washing ton Irving classic that has been read by every man, woman and child. Parents will do we'll to have their kiddies see this classic in film art. Besides the above two mentioned at fractions today's Pathe weekly will also be shown, having in it's thousand feet much interesting news from the theater of war as we'll as the most re- cent happenings our own country over.
 For tomorrow and Saturday, Will liam Fox announces Robert Edeson and an all star cast of screen favor ties in David Belasco's spectacular drama, "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" as produced by Charles Frohman at the Empire theater, New York. Rob- ert Edeson is universally known to the theater- going public as the star of many Broadway successes.

Neither is it a war play: there are no battles in It, and no suggestion of the grim or horrible. The scene is laid at the Rock of Gibraltar, probably the most famous fortress in the world, and the action is furnished by trio of daring spies who get "inside the lines of the Notifications and seek to aid their country by a coup as dangerous as it is striking

GAS ON THE STOMACH

When colicky pains accompany the presence of gas on the stomach the need of gentle laxative to clear away the offending food residue is imperative. If the condition of constipation is not quickly corrected a coated tongue, erup- tions on the skin, headaches and back aches soon show that the poisons have found their way into the circulation.
 The use of the gentle, laxative pills, Pinklets, will not only banish these un- pleasant symptoms quickly but, if used regularly for a reasonable time, will really correct chronic constipation.
 Pinklets contain no poisons or harm ful drugs.

Shrove Tuesday Ushers in Its
 Traditional and Tasty Pancakes Have Expert Cooks at Work and Serve Pancakes With Soft Butter Bowl of Whipped Cream and Hot
 Maple Syrup and Honey.

Shrove Tuesday this year falls on Ash Wednesday the sombre Lenten weeks begin.
 The traditional pancakes sacred to SnroVe Tuesday night were supposed to strengt hen those who ate them for the ordeal of confession, but in latter days the night is taken as an excuse to admit the common pancakes into the festive repast. At midnight it is banishCd and sinks into oblivion for another year.
 Pancake parties are celebrated in different fashions. One of the jOllieSt is to have the guests seated, at small ta ables, with large table in the cen tre, where three expert pancake cooks are at work, cooking over the solid lcohol grills, keeping the covered dishes filled with the hot cakes as fast as they arc emptied. Each table is supplied with a dish of soft butter. a bowl of whipped cream and a pitcher of hot maple syrup or honey. Coffee is served with the cakes, and later in the evening. during dancing, waters are severed with the punch.
 To those who prefer the more formal dinncr before the dance. the French pancake with jelly. or the German pancake with lemon juice and sugar may form the desert, but when the pancakes are served in the evening it must be alone, or the feast is not tp- rical of the day.
 Aluminium GriddIe Preferable
 If alminum griddles or grills are used, they require no greasing, but a small am Ount of butter is added to the ake batter instead which prevents hem sticking This the smoke which has always been objectionable from the greasy griddle is avoided.
 The raised griddle cake made with yeast has almost entirely lost favor, since modern baking powder or W hipped eggs seem to have rising powers superior to the yeast and are
