 The very next thing to being in an actual battle is to watch the motion pictures of the battle pictures taken by an expert at the business on the battlefield itself while the infuriated combatants were busy with their work of death. These pictures make one fully understand and realize what the suferings of mothers, sisters, fathers and. brothers is and why they suffer. These excellent feature war pictures will grip, thrill, bring tears and hold the undivided attention of all those that witness them You see the burn ing of Antwerp, the Battle of Malienes. the destruction of Termonde, the bar- tie of AIost, the flight of Iierre and the flight of the refugees to Holland

Thousands Of people suffer from badness and falling hair who, hay ing tried nearly every advertised hair-tonic and hair-grower without results, have resigned themseIves~to badness and it's attendant discom- fort. Yet their case is not hope less; the following simple home pre- scriptton has made hair grow after years of badness, and is also un- equa1led for restoring gray hair to it's original color. stopping hair from falling out and destroying the dan druff germ. It will not make the hair greasy, and can be put up by any druggist: Bay Rum, s ounces: Lavona da Composee, 2 ounces; Men tfloI Crystals, one half drachm If you wish it perfumed, add 1 drachm of your favorite perfume This pre- paration is highly recommended by physicians and specialists, and isS ab- soluteiy harmless, as it contains none of the poisonous wood alcohol so ire quentIy found in hair tonics

 all beautiful singers and the harmony dispensed in a repertoire of old time tunes makes you wish the end was but the beginning. The violin, cello and piano are employed with more than pleasing effect and an old fash toned classic dance that is superbly executed strikes a popular chord at every performance. The scenic end of the production is novel and in fact 1 the entire act could no be Improved upon.
 Billy Gordon makes a funny en- trance, keeps up very funny line of chatter for fifteen minutes and then i tors have half recovered from the ef- fects of the laugh storm he has swept over them. Billy is a weH-known l and well liked German comedian and he has an inin1itable way of getting ] over his nnonoIogue that never fails to impress his auditors from the start.
 The Dog Cabaret is unquestionably the cleverest little animal offering that has ever appeared here. The ldogs are remarkably trained and go through their stunts without the us ual coaxing on the part of the mas 1 ter. John and Jessie Powers offer 8 comedy singing, talking and danc- 1 ing slxit that scores heavily at every I appearance.
 The Parofs, two pretty and shape l Iy young women have one of the most Jsensationa1 aerial novelties vaudeville I has ever offered and they are prov l ing popular favorites.
