NO PASSPORTS FOR PLEASURE.
Trips to Europe Restricted TO
Those Who Have Business.

Washington, April 6.-No pass
ports will be issued by the State De-
nartment to Americans desiring to go
aboard on pleasure; the passports will
only be issued to those who have bus
mess in Europe, it has been annonn-
ced. =. s
The purpose Of the State Depart
ment in limiting passports to Europe
is to break up the traffic of curiosity
seekers who wish to visit the war
zone. The death of Leon G. Thrash
err. when the British steamer Falaba
was torpedoed by a German subma-
rine. influenced the action Of the
department.
An official of the State Department
in explaining the new passport order
declared there is Il grave danger OF
international complications if harm
comes to Americans abroad, especi-
ally in view Of the fact that the
American Government has notified
Germany that that country viii be
held strictly responsible for the
death Of citizens Of the United
States from the new war zone war.
fare 1t is feared that if many
Americans are killed it will anger
the people Of this country.

MANY TROUBLES DUE TO
 WEAK KIDNEYS


 s: Tt is no use adyer Using medicine enough to back up the claims you pleasure for druggists to sell raedi- cine when customers come in after ward and tell how much good it has dore them. And that is why drug gEists like to sell and recommends SoIvax, the great kidney remedy. Ever since we first introduced. Solvax drug clerks have been so busy selling 1t that 1t is sometimes hard to keep a sufficient stock on hand Moreover. Solvax is al- ways sold on a positive guarantee of relief to the kidney sufferer or money back. This may seem rash but users have said 50 many good words in favor of Solvax that it is not. expected that many packages will be returned" "
 This shows great faith in Solvax. It really is a most unusual medicine be- cause it overcomes the worst cases of kidney complaints by removing the cause. It goes strai ght to the seat of the trouble. It soaks right in and cleans out the kidneys. and makes them pass off all the uric acid and poisonous waste matter that lodges in the joints and muscles, causing Rheumatic pains sookhes and heals the bladder and quickly ends all such troubles.
 Nothing is more uncomfortable or hurts a persons perfect enjoyment of life more than troublesome kidneys and their attending evils. Use Solvax and begin to get your full measure of benefit out of . life. Sold by Lee & Osgopd and other leading druggists in this vicinity.

DAVIS THEATRE.
The Birth of a Nation.

The Birth of a Nation, the sensa- tional and spectacular Griffith produc- tion of the Civil war period, in 12 parts. based on the book The Clans
 man, breathes the spirit of that well known book. The two great outStand-
 ing features of it are it's controversial spirit and splendor, and the magnifi- cence of it's production. Taken as a
 whole, it is the most tremendous of ferlrg ever projected.
 The greatness of the production is in its spectacular points and the his-
 torical reproductions, yet so clearly defined is the drama and So very care fully presented that it grips the audi ence hard. The appeal is far-reaching and there probably never has been a production offered to the American public that can approach the swing of it's powerful "pull'' or sometimes al-
 most uncanny reproductions of histor- lcnl scenes. From a. technical view point. 1t may be placed upon pedestal by itself. It is magnificent pro- CucftCn, wonderful in its scope dra- matic to a degree in its construction, faithful in detail and convincing in it's argument. Those who may feel in- cllned to take offense at alleged inci- | dents of half a century ago and find 1t difficEl: to square such offenses with
 latter day conditions, should bear in mind that the traitor Arnold of the evolution was the same Arnold who. l as tEe daring rider, of the black horse'' | was the hero of the siege of Quebec.
 Beginning with the troublous times
 just preceding the Civil war, The Birth
 of a Nation takes us through that | awful struggle. cul1ninating in the as- l sassination of Lincoln, into and ! through the reconstruction period
 which has been classed by many as the darkest period of United States | history.
 The Birth of a, Nation will be given hero in it's entirety the week of Nov. 18th. with daily matinees at the Davis ] theatre. Seats on sale Thursday at 10 a. m.

ELSIE JANIS AT THE AUDITORIUM
Elsie Janis and Owen Moore Will AP- pear in Fine Paramount Production Tooey.

With three vaudeville acts and a corlSing Paramount picture feature ill five reels, the management or the Au- ditcIium think they have one Of the biggest and best shows seen here in a long time.
 Betty in Search of a Thrill. starring the gifted Elsie Janis. and released by Bosworth, Inc. is one of the most charming stories produced in years.
 Tie story brings out the lure the outside world eXerts upon the imag7 ina ton of convent-Sheltereda romanH tic girl, and anyone who has felt the turbulent longings oe youth will sym pa thize with high-spirited Betty when, on returning to her uncle's New York mansion, she finally gives buffers, maids and all the slip, and hides among the working girls of the biggest
 At the same time, one cannot but be glad that her experiences with hirta- ftious floor walkers, stage managers, an6 cabaret rounders, and finally the perilous adventures with gamblers and police, serve in the end to convince her that romance does not exist except in the imagination.
 Betty is a sensible girl for all her vivid butterfly traits, and abandons her lark in favor of a husband-to-be and Fifth avenue mansion of her own but not until her dreams of ad- venture in some of the best known haunts of New York night life has assumed the proportions of an absorb ing tale from the Arabian Nights.
 The vaudeville will consist of the following three acts: Tops, Topsy and Spot. two people and a wonderfully intelligent dog. will introduce one of the most original and unique novelty acts ever seen at this theatre.

Sapphire Discovery.

A sapphire of good quality, which was cut into a gem weighing S-S carats, was discovered in the gravel along the shore of Lake Okoboji, in Dickinson county. Iowa. in 1914. It is described as resembling a piece of blue bottle glass worn round and smooth by attrition> and is stated to be the cornhower blue variety and to have a good velvety. luster. This gem was probably transported to the Lake Okoboji region by ice during the gla- cial period along with large variety of other minerals and rocks, and its original home can only be surmised.
