F,r.t Lecturer In Line.

"Dr. Kepford was first lecturer In
the world to devote his entire time
in an effort to exterminate tuberculo-
sis as disease of the masses. Since
entering this field he has seen de-
crease in the mortality in Iowa OF
practically 40 percent in the pulmon-
arv form Of the disease. He has trav-
eled several hundred thousand miles
in the state, delivered more than 2
600 lectures, attended hundreds OF
conferences and parlor talks, and has
spoken to over half million people
on the subject His efforts assisted
greatly in the establishment of the
state sanatorium at Oakdale, and the
esta blishment of the department OF
under the board Of con-
troll. Iowa was first among the states
to have such a department. and many
others have now followed the example.
While there has been rapidly de-
clining death rate from tuberculosis,
vet vast influence has been exerted
in other directions; the death curve
from pneumonia has also been rapidly
downward and many great Industrial,
educational and social reforms have
resulted.

Charlie Chaplin Today.

The many admirers of Charlie
Chaplin, the greatest movie comedian
Of the age, will have today another
opportunity to see him in one of his
greatest successes at the Bonita, in
"The Fatal Mallet." It is a laugh
producer of the first order.
The other feature on the Bonita's
program today is the four reel Kalem
Broadway Favorites production, "The
Pretenders", with Marguerite Courtot
and Crawford Kent. The latter,
whose success in Broadway produc-
tons caused him to be engaged by
Kalem, has probably never appeared
in a role which shows him 20 such ex-
cellent advantage as that Of Dick
Mason, the young clubman who pre-
tends to be farmer when he meets
Elsie Dunbar, a spoiled child Of So
ciety, who is summering out in the
country. Elsie, in turn, deceives Dick
| by pretending to be farmers

Phunnakers Day.

Tomorrow is Phunmakers Day, all

colians can well feel satisfied to rail-

Pensacola people means help for the

high as dollar to see this same tai

DIR. S. R. MI Kennedy as usual will

Twas Ever Thus

Elsie Janis in st'Twas Ever Thusn,
a delightful photo comedy of the art
of love making from the prehistoric
down to the present day, will be pre-
sented by Bosworth Incorporated, at
the Isis theatre today.
Elsie Janis impersonates three en-
tirely different girls, a bare limbed
belle Of the Cave Dweller epoch, re-
fined daughter of the Boston aristoc-
racy of 1865 and an up to the minute
New, York novelist Of the present
day. Her athletic vigor as the first,
her grace with the difficult crinoline
as the second, and her style and
charm as the third prove an infinite

enquiries that have been made about

first musical comedy to play Pensa-

The melodies of "High Jinks" are
real contribution to the pleasure of
the nation, for Rudolph Friml's score
has been sung from East and West
and back again since its last appear
ance here. Its music has swing
that arouses to enthusiasm the
average person, and the action is OF
the most lively order. Not only is the
music of the lifting kind, but there il
an abundance of it. Unlike some
shows, that have one or two gems OF
melody, High Jinks" has nothing but
songs that live in the memory. In
the first act, the melody with thu

which is maintained. Plentifully
sprinkled throughout are terse terp

BURNING UP MILLIONS.

Tho fire loss OF 1914 has been OK.
cceded only three times In the his.
tory OF the country. The losses OF
1914 In the aggregate we're larger than
In any other year except the three no
table confiagra.lon years--l9Ot, when
the Baltimore FIRE occurred; 1906. the
year OF San Francisco calamity. and
1908, when Chelsea, Mass, was almost
wiped on the face OF the earth.
Last years FIRE loss amounted 20
1891 .6s1, $50, which Is about si1 1,0OO,.
900 more than the loss OF 1918. Fig.
ures compiled by c. NJ Cartwright for
the Chicago Tribune show that dur.
ing the last thirty-eight years the Are
losses of this country have totaled
tb,S66.sSl ,025. The heaviest loss year
during this period was 1906, when the
insurance companies paid out such n
vast amount in San Francisco. The
year OF the Baltimore fire the losses
amounted to s252.b54.05O. The low.
est year during all this period was In
1873, when the figure was s34,315, 900.
Despite the fact that an active cam.
paign for fire prevention has been
carried on for several years the an.
nual fire loss has increased. In the
meanwhile, TO be sure. there has been
a tremendous increase in property
values. II. as is probably the case,
the fire Losses have not Increased In
the same proportion there is some.
thing TO show for g activities OF the
organizations that have been striving
to reduce the fire waste. But the
showing is not as good as IL should be,
for the lire losses In tne United States
are much larger than those In for.
eign countries. The per capita fire
loss in some OF the leading cities I'm
the old world IL insignificant when
compared with that OF American cit.
ies.
The burning OF property represents
an absolute waste OF resources. As.
suming that half the money lost in
fires last year had been saved the
country would have been better of
financially, industrially and In every
other way.

WHO Is TO BLAME FOR FIRES

Personal responsibility for the ef.

by law within the next few years In

many years in European countries, II
the efforts OF those active In fire pre-

authorities, in particular, are aiming,
as first step In this direction, to Sc
cure the enactment OF a statute i'm
posing upon the owners or occupants
Of properties In which fires originate,
after such parties have been notified
TO remove hazards existing in their
premises, the burden OF the cost OF

which this endeayor is based Is that
most fires are due to carelessness on
the part OF occupants OF the proper
