COLONIAL THEATRE.
HNeal of the Navy" Greatest Serial Yet-Secretary Daniels Approval.

What is without doubt the biggest serial ever attempted, is the feature on today's program at the Coion1al. It is entitled Neal of the Navy, ana the two reels beginning the story form the incident, which in turn IS entitled The Survivors. It is distinctly a drama of the U. S. navy. taken under and with the approval of Secretary Daniels Full use was made of our navy, and every scene is complete with wonderful scenes aboard the mighty batfleships. The squadrons, as well as separate specimens of the dread noughts figure consricuously in every incident. The photography is bewil- dering in it's beauty, being taken by the famous Balboa studios. The story begins today with Neal. the son Of a captain of a tramp steamer, who in the midst of the great eruption of Mt. Pelee, St. Pierre, Martinique, endeavors to save the countless people who rush nladly to the water for safety. Among those saved is the daughter of an American, who has the aid of two rascaIs in the effort to exploit a mine on an isolated island. The girls father is unable to get aboard the tramp steamer. but pinning the oiled packet to his daughters clothing, containing the map of the siland, clings to a ieaky. boat and eventually is thrown upon an island. The daughter, Neal. and his mother, are thrown into one boat as the first steamer. the tramp steamer, takes fire, and all are picked up by a U. s. scruiser. and the seed of a great naval career is sown in the mind of young Neal. Everyone must see him. as he is a most lovable character and you will enjoy every scene in every chapter of Neal of the Navy. Also tomorrow is Hazards of Helen, with big railroad smashup and other big films.

REGULATING AGAINST s RINDERPEsT
Missionary Doctor in China Discovers
 Method of Cattle Protection.

Dr. eE. L. Bliss, of the American Boards medical Staff at Shaowu, China. has been greatly hampered in caring for the many native sick folks, babies and delicate foreigners under his charge because so little milk could be had at his station. The native cows yield only about a pint of milk a day and not that If the the calf is taken away. The Chinese mothers nurse their children only in part, feed- ing them various other things after the first month or two. so that about two out of three babies die. Malaria. malarial fever, nephritis, early tuber culosis, dysentery-these with chronic indigestion form the bulk of the 25,000 medical caRes treated in a year at Shaowu and in all these cases milk Is most necessary as food. So Dr. Bliss. in a letter just in. reports to his home office what he has been doing. He says, Tt has been impressed up on me that the thing most needful to increase the value of the medical work is to provide milk for the sick, this at the same time will prove to the Chin ese our interest and sympathy with them
 Having cows meant close oversight as the ordinary cowman cannot be trusted to take proper care, so de- termined that if I must take my time for this. I would get something of permanent value. I sent to Chilli Pro- vince and bought an American Ayr shire bull to cross with native cows and so breed up grade cows which would give a profitable quantity of milk. At the same time we bought an Ayrshire COW for present supply.
 That was about two years ago. Last winter an epidemic of rinder- pest swept the country, taking most of our cows and half breeds and finally our bull. The rfnderpest prevails ey- cry. year or two but I had hoped by strict precautions. to escape it..
 tThe set back was very discourag- ing but led me to study the disease and I have learned a method of inocu- lating calves which protects them against it for life. l, have bought an- other bull which has been thus inoc- ulated and have learned to make the inoculating serum so we can protect our own herd in the future.
 Tt would be a fine thing to iuocu- late the cattle for the farmers and so save them the great loss they suffer every year or two. Cattle are the bas- is of agriculture, being depended on for ploughing, pumping for irrigation and for grinding the grain. This year they are so scarce farmers have diffi- culty in hiring them for necessary ploughing. Now that the preventative for rinderpeSt has been discovered it seems a great chance to help the peo- pie and prove that the missionaries come to bring them good in all ways

OPPOSITION TO GERMAN
 NAMES OF STREETS IN PARIS
Are Remaining Them in commemora-
 ton of Heroic Dead.

Paris. October 18-The disappear ance of Berlin and Germany" as street names in Paris has not satis- { fed patriots. They continue insist ent demands that all street names of Germanic origin, even those of Wag give way to- names commemorating heroes or heroic deeds of the war.
 Every. proposition for the changing of a street name is referred to com n1fttee of the municipal council. Mon sieur Ernest Gay, secretary of the committee, explains that the delay in action on different protestations is not altogether due to resistance to pro- posed changes, but to the necessity of deliberation :n the choice of new names. Numerous as are the names that must be changed they are far outnumbered by the heroes that must be shonored.
 Heroes and celebrities of other days like Turenne and Hugo, whose names are given to streets, avenues, bouIe- wards and squares may also find their honors encroached upon after the war in order to give place to those who have distinguished themselves in the great European conflict.
 French law and custom both are opposed to the choice of the name of celebrity living or to recently dead, for a street or a public place Con- sequentiy the war will have been several years a thing of the past be- for the new. nomenclature has been finished. It occasionally happens that municipality allows the enthusiast of the better of custom in this respect. Quite recently parliamentary com mission making a tour of the forti- fled towns of Eastern France were as tonished to see the name of Aristide Briand at the corner of village street. Monsieur Briand being very much alive, the parliamentarians made inquiries. It appeared that the town had rated the distinction to Monsieur Briand to honor his action in proposing a return to the three year military service and 1fMs; strengthening the French army
