Pure Food Battle to
Be Wdged in a
Special Film
Drama
By GARDINER MACK.

The organizations that are en-
gagged in national reform work
along such lines that require the
strong Endorsement and understand
ing of the people are slowly waking
the motion picture lends to such a
campaign. There are between tep
and twenty millions of people given
recreation ana instruction by means
of the motion pictures every day in
the year. There is no possible way
in which such an audience can be
reached by the workers for the com
mon good, except through the mo-
ton pictures.
And there is no way in which the
attention of any sort of an audience
can be so riveted on a sore spot in
the political or social organization
of the people as a whole. BY put
abuses of law or privilege that eX-
ist and the remedies that can be ap-
piled, a much more direct appeal is
made for cooperation than by pub
fishing pamphlets or citing statls-
tics This is not a statement OF
theory. but of a rather well recos-
nized fact nowadays. 1t Is interest
ing to note, therefore, how the mo-
tion picture is being slowly r.ecog-
nized by the big agencies in charge
of nationwide reform movements as
one of their greatest allies. -,
1t is for this reason that there Will
be considerable interest awakened
BY tk> announcement of the forth
coming exhibition of film play
called Poison" which has been
produced by the Ka!em company In
the interests of the Westfield Pure
Food movement. about which so
much has recently been zen printed T,loes In
Photoplay patrons will have the
opportunity to see how Prof. Lewis
r. Allyn, of the Westfield Pure Food
Movement, wages war upon the rGan-
facturers Of adulterated FOODS. rms
sturdy champion of the pure food
cause personally appears in POISON!
Prof. Allyn is one OF the foremost
men in public life. One Of the best
loved and best hated. His pure food
activities have endeared him to the
public and at the same time, made
him the target for the abuse OF un-
scrupulous men.
In Poison" Prof Allyn shows the
adulterated foods arc produced. IN
cleanliness is the rule and when
photoplay patrons see the picture 1t
Is safe to say that they will be care
ful to avoid food products OF doubt
full quality in the future.
According to the Kalem drama.
Webb, a manufacturer Of adulterated
foods. tries in vain to get his prod
ucts on the Westfeld List Of Pure
Foods. An effort to bribe Prof. Allyn
proves unavailing and Webb is in
formed that his foods will be in
dorsed without cost just as soon as
they come up to the pure food stand
ard.
"P6ison!' by the way, has been in
dorsed by pure food organizations
everywhere. In the cast supporting
Prof Allyn are Tom Moore, Margue-
rite Courtot and Robert Ellis. three
of Kalcm's most popular stars. The
picture will be released for exhibition

The great trouble with the majority
of women is that they try to remove
pimples by outside treatment, such as
greases, massage, cosmetics, electri-
city, etc. These methods will not cure
nor even temporarily remove pimples
and facial disorders.
The difficulty is generally impure
blood. The blood is a stream of waste
matter filled with poisons. Its color
is black, or blue or brownish cast. in
stead of ruby red, as it should be.
The best color always comes in
youth. of course. but all the cosmetics
in the world will not bring back the
color if your blood Is diseased or filled
with impurities which it cannot re-
move or throw off.
