PREPARED BY THE PI
kuTTlNG GUIDE b2O6

The woman's Home Companion
has started q movement for better
films. The editors are examining
hundreds of films, and each month
they will recommend the best ones
In the April issue they recommend
one hundred short-reel films and fifty
reels for children. The following ex-
tract taken from the April issue gives
some idea of the purpose of the new
movement:
First of all, 1t should be remem-
bered that no force in the world will
ever lift the motion picture business
OF any other business, one inch above
its present status, except the force of
popular demand; which means your
demand, and the demand of all the
better people of your community. The
Companions effort is toward a bet
ter-educated public demand, rather
than toward censorship.
I'm plain words, the Woman s
Home Companion does not believe in
local censorship, and urges its read
ers to try every other means of bet
tering conditions before resorting to
this artificial and usually unsatisfac-
tory method.
1.-THE motion picture deserves the
freedom that is accorded the press.
While II is an expression of dramatic
art. 1t is also a kind OF Journalism for

TINE HAIR BEAUTY
THAT BELONGS TO you

So many who have long known
that hair beauty was certain to fol-
low upon systematic hair care have
been loath to commence what they
mistakenly think too much trouble.
Proper hair care means only keep
ing the scalp and hair perfectly clean
by use of some preparation made for
shampooing, not for general cleans
Ing. You can enjoy the best that is
known for about three cents sham
poo by getting a package of Canthrox
from your druggist. Dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup Of hot water and
your shampoo is ready, After its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it will
-Lsok much heavier than it is. Its
ulster and softness will also delight
YOU. while the stimulated scalp gains
tne health which insures hair growth.

THE MOVEMENT FOR BETTER FILMS

free public discussion. Pure milk, tu-
berculosis, and the fly nuisance have
been discussed on the screen; In like
manner. big moral problems are be-
ing discussed at every film show, and
at the same time the audience ia
being entertained.
Another point to be kept in mind:
Today all motion pictures are made
for world-public comprising the
young and the old, the educated and
the ignorant. Until there arises a
specialized demand every motion pic
ture problem must be a compromise
between the demands of the child
and of the adult.
1.-The greatest competition the mo-
tion picture theater needs to fear for
the future is the public school,, said
the head of a great distributing or
ganization of films. AS soon as the
public schools begin to use motion
pictures extensively we will be COM
PEELED to change the character of our
production to q considerable extent
to meet the demand. The exhibitor
will have to make special effort for
child patronage, or he will lose
ground His purpose is commercial.
while that of the school is idealistic
I'm the meantime the exhibitor is
gathering in the children at the rate
Of million day."

This morning the mail brought to
my desk the following, written on
a postcard:
20 Lord, I implore thee to bless all
mankind and to help us to Thyself
and to bring US to dwell with Thee.
All who write this prayer will be
free from calamity, and all who pass
1t by will meet with misfortune. Copy
1t nine days and send it to nine per-
sons, and on the ninth day you will
receive some great joy. Do not
break the chain"
Now 1 have not seen this prayer
for six years, and ! had hoped the
impious folly had stopped. II our
Joy depended upon sending such mes
sages our faith would indeed be a
poor, weak, worthless thing.
This is not religion. 1t is simply
fanatacism and superstitution. By
all means let us pray sincerely for
ourselves, for our loved ones and for
all mankind, but do not let@us imag-

Opportune Suggestions

To purify sinks, pour down strong
soda water (washing soda). II musty,
wipe with kerosene. If the waste
pipe is frozen, lay a handful of ice
cream salt on the strainer and just
wet It enough to drop down the pipe.
To tougher lamp chimneys, dip the
chimney in a potful of cold water to
which a. half-cup of table salt has
been added Boil the water well ten
minutes without taking the chimney
out, then cool slowly, Any glass
treated in this way will resist sudden
change of temperature.
TO clean any kind of bottles on the
inside, cut raw potato peels in thin
strips and pack the bottle full; then
pour cold water on them and let
stand two or three hours; then rinse
clean; especially good for stained
vinegar bottles, says the Buffalo
Sunday Times.
To ventilate a room In winter, place
a pitcher of cold water ON stand and
1t will absorb all gases from respira-
tion or from cooking or sleeping in
the apartment. The colder the water
the better.
Ono pint Of tar and two quarts Of
hot water in an earthen vessel will
keep red ants away. Keep this in your
cupboard and you will never see red
ants.
To prevent rust forming In a tea
kettle keep an oyster shell in the tea
kettle and there will not be any
crust This is for copper kettles.
Put some lime In your kettle, the
size of hens egg, and however
watery your potatoes are they will
come out dry and mealy.
Colored muslins should be washed
In cold water. Never put them in
warm water, not even to rinse them

When using these antiseptic fluids
remember their use should be under
the direction of q physician or some
one else who knows. They should be
labeled "Poison" and kept out of the
reach of children Their use should
be always prefaced by a thorough
cleaning of the surface to which they
are to be applied, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Three things are of paramount i'm
portance in preserving strict quar-
antine-soap, water and q brush. A
liberal use of these Is better than the
best germicide yet discovered Be-
fore the hands are dipped into an an
tiseptic solution they should be-
scrubbed with soap and water other
wise the antiseptic Is useless, and
worse than useless, for 1t gives d
false sense of security. Before treat
ing any article of furniture with an
antiseptic it should be scrubbed with
soap and water. The kinds of an
tiseptics used for different articles,
their strength and the manner of ap-
plying them had better be left to the
physician in attendance.
1t Is important that the mother or
nurse who Is attending to the child
should take a walk in the fresh air
every day. The best way to arrange
this Is for her to keep change OF
clothing in the next room to the sick
ROOM She should battle before leav-
ing the quarantined room.
If bathroom has been set aside fol
| quarantine she can use this; If not, a
screen and a basin in the sickroom
will have to answer. Then she can
| slip into the next room and put OIL
| tho fresh clothing. She should leave
| the house by the back way prefer
ably, or, at any rate avoid coming
into contact with any of the occu-
| pants of the house. Once in the
street she should not use the street
cars nor enter any other house and
avoid touching anyone as far as pos
| sible.
After the period of quarantine is
over, the child IS bathed and his hair
treated with an antiseptic solution

Soft shell crabs have made their
appearance on the stands, and are
extremely cheap for this time of the
year. In addition, they are extra

land are also in the market. These
