Imagine moving picture of a ninety ddN fast
y third friend of the movie man tried to
sell the rights to a picture of "a wonderful
old Southern negro in the act of doing
| difficult tcats of arithmetic in his head.

In Idaho arose a wiScaCrc who had a plan
for curiching the movie man beyond imagi-
nation. Take moving pictures in summer
and hold them till winter; then show them,
ne wrote. The pictures YOU take in winter
should hC shown in summer. You can FIJI
Your houses. for when il is cold people will
come To see warm pictures. and when its
hot they want to see ice and snow.
Once in awhile a real suggestion is made.
Such a one came to the office Of a leading
manufacturer last winter at the height of
the dance craze \ dancing master in New
York offered to illustrate the new steps
free of charge All he wanted was the pub
icitv of his name ON the film. His offer was
accepted, and he gained many new pupils
from the showing he made on the screens of
Broadway.
y new religious sect had beautiful we'd
ding ceremony and a live" man As mn
lister The man offered the movie Win
the right To take the picture for mentioning
the name of the church. 1t was done. 1t
was probably the only genuine bona hdc
moving picture wedding ever taken in a
church.
WHEN Theodore Roosevelt ran for Prcsi-
w dent I'm 1912 the movies Campaigncd
for him. Il was the writer's lot to arrange
for the taking of the picture. The manu-
facturcr wanted TO get away from the con
vcutional election picture showing Colonel
Roosevelt on the stump: he wanted TO
show Colonel Roosevelt at Sycamore HILL
Finally Colonel Roosevelt consented TO pose
for the picture.
The Colonel rode horseback, fed his horse
sugar. played with his dogs. / recall that
one of them had the unusual name of Two
Dollars. wrote a letter on his porch, talked
with a reporter, cha,tcl with his sons, and
chopped down ,rcc. II was a strenuous
morning. The film was not long enough,
however: So the {, 'o1cl was asked To play
tennis, a game OF which he is very fond.
no. he replied with a broad smile
"PcoplC wightn't IAN ...~,and. You and /
know tennis Is a man game; but the pub
lie generally doesn't. ] don't want You 70

was not a mans game. ! rather fancy that

The Roosevelt pictures were shown broad
cast during the campaign. They brought
the Colonel before the ewes of millions who
would not have seen him otherwise, and
they showed him 10 his best advantage, -

Of course his sign would hc read; Of cour.,
the police would throw him ont of the line
and Of course the attention of the audience
would be drawn 10 the incident. Every
time that sign went on the screen a thousand
dollars had been placed in the movie man
pocket Some ten thousand dollars or NOR,
was thus expended.
Moving picture advertising was sought
by the directors Of the Panama-Paciilc En-.
position last winter. They received hid
from a number of American manufactures
and some io.cign, for the exclusive privilcg,
OF taking news movies on the exposition
grounds. y foreign company, the largest
in the world. got the privilege for nothing
although some OF the American companics
had bid many thousands of dollars. The big
company was in a position 10 circulate the
films all over the world; and this, the dircc-
tors thought, was preferable to thousands
of dollars and no advertising.
Later ON this big company had a change Of
heart 1t gave up the contract. Although
the pictures were popular it thought IT
should have received money for advcrtiS-
ing the exposition This was not assigned
as the reason for permitting the contract
to lapse without giving paltry iivc-thou-
Sand-dolar bond within the time limit,
for that was the loopholc the manufacturers
took in their exit from the contract, but
il was the true reason. according to what
have been told by those who ought 10 know
IKE everyone else, the movie man has
IL his limitations. When the acroplanc
first came into use he thought he would make
excellent pictures from the sky. rs a mat
ter Of fact, il is almost impossible to get
good pictures from an acroplanc. The con-
slant shifting OF the plane rocks the cam
era. and the inccSsant vibration of the en-
CINE makes the picture unsteady even when
taken on an even keel From a dirigiblc tho
results are much better; from a balloon they
are excellent. An effort was made IN 1911 t.
get an acroplanc picture of the international
polo game at WcStbury. II was unsucccSs-
full. In addition to other obstacles, the
presence of the aircraft SO terrified the
horses that the game was nearly broken mp
One of the most unusual pictures ever
made was taken from a balloon two thou
sand feet above Portland, Oregon. Tho

that Tired FEELING
Relieved by Hoods SarsaparilIa,
Which RenOvates the Blood.

That tired feeling that comes to
you in the spring, year after year. is
a sign that your blood lacks vitality,
just as pimples, boils and other erup-
tions are signs that it is impure: and
it is also a sign that your system is
in a low or rundown condition in
viting disease. 1t is a,warning, which
il is wise to heed.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This old standard, tried
and true blood medicine relieves that
tired feeling 1t cleanses the blood,
gives new life, new courage, strength
and cheerfulness. II makes the rich,
red blood that will make you feel,
look eat and sleep better.
Be sure TO get Hoods, because it is
the best. There is no other combina-
ton of roots. banks and herbs like il
no real substitute for it--no Just
as-good" medicine.
