Today and Saturday the Breed will present Pauline Frederick in picturi- zation of E. Phillips Oppenheim's cele- brated novel, The Worlds Great Snare. Some of the largest settings ever erected in a motion picture studio were built for this production which reflects great credit upon the director and all those concerned with its adap- tation.
 Perhaps one of the most striking scenes is that which shows the inter for of the Montana Cafe. in San Fran cisco, where Miss Frederick, as Myra, the dancer, does some very clever terp- sichorean work. The setting itself is a huge structure which shows both the stage. main floor and balcony of the cafe. Here are enacted some of the most thrilling scenes of the play, among them fight in which one of the contestants is hurled over the bal cony rail to the floor below. thus pre- cipitating a general riot on the part of the miners and Mexfcans in the cafe.
 A great deal of the action of the story transpires in a typical mining town where the coroner's inquest is usually held a few moments after the shooting and without the formality of moving the victims body from the scene of the tragedy.
 Myra, the forceful character which Pauline Frederick so powerfully en- acts, stumbles upon one of these shoot ing affrays and is accused of the mur- der. She is rescued from the mob by Bryan. the man with whom she is so desperately in love that she has followed him from San Francisco to the mines. Myra risks her life and her freedom for this man out of gratitude for his kindly treatment of her when she is one of the dancers at the Mon tana. For Bryan, young English Eyh r7 search of a birth certificate which will establish his claim to the Earldom of Wessemere. is the first man to look upon Myra as anything but source of amusement. ,E
 In support of the star there appear several well known players, among them Irving Cummings, Ferdinand Tidmarsh, Frank Evans. Riley Hatch and BUckley Starkey.
 The Breed also presents the Pathe Weekly and a very funny comedy en- titled Board Bitl Dodgers, completes the bill for today and Saturday.

 If you know someone whosis troubled with head noises. or catarrhal deaf ness, cut out this formula, and hand 1t means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. Recent experiments. have proved conslustvely that catarrhal deafness. head noises, etc, were the direct cause of constitu- tioral disease and that salves, sprays. ihhalers tp eto merely temPerizs e win fn feet a permanent cure. This being so, much time and money nas been spent Ing a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that would, quickly .dispen all. traces. Of the catarrhal poison from the system. The effective prescription which was eventually. formulated and which has aroused the sbelief that deafness will soon be. extinct, is given below in un- treat themselves in their own home at little expense.
 Secure from your druggist oz. Far worth; Take this home and add to # IA pint of hot water and OF. of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
 ,fhe first dose should begin to relieve dullness. cloudy thinking, etc. while tenn is invfgorated by the tonic action mucous dropping in the back Of the throat are other symptoms that show the presence Of catarrhal poison.- and which are often entirely overcome by this efficacious treatm ent. Nearly 90 per cent. of all ear trorbles are di- rectly caused by catarrh; therefore. there must be many people whose hear ing can be restored by this simple home treatment
 Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca tarrh in any form should give this pre- Scription a trial.

some eight years ago while I was

whom Christian men and Christian

around whom there gathers an ever

upon him as their Moses, who led

SceptlcIsm that took the form of

good churchman in Boston, was much
IN evidence before the movement was
launched.
The wise ones shook their heads
and said, He will never Go here in

heard and he conquered.

something of the magnitude of the
movement. The tabernacle, which is

An Old-FashiOned Blizzard

The snow and wind storm of Fri
DAY night was good d-fashioned
equlnoctial blizzard such as our
grandfathers tell about. During the
day Friday and all Friday night the
snow fell and during the night Fri
day and much of the day SATURDAY
the wind blew gale from the north
ana northwest, piling the snow into
immense drifts which blockaded the
nlghwags Saturday and delayed
tfains from one to six hours.
Coming as it did on the eleventh
hour for Christmas shopping. (the
hour when most people are prone to
shop) and at the very time the trains
were crowded with Christmas traffic
the delays and blockades caused much
discontinue. Rural Carriers White
ana Jenness were both compelled to
abandon their routes on Saturday.

receive two weeks pay. No employe
Will receive more than SITS, and no
employee of less than three months
service and no general official will in
any way share in the payments.
While in no sense a holiday pres
ent, the fact that it comes most un-
expectedly at this time in the wear
makes it a most timely evidence of
the continued concern of the COM
pany's officers for the welfare of its
employees. This distribution to the
employees OF the Passumpsic Tele-
phone company, which represents a
@'Ao1 ee'holai sum Oh money, Is In ac-
cord with the distribution made to

In connection with the announce
ment Of the payment to be made to
the employees of the New England
company, President Spalding of that
company is quoted as saying:
We shall make the payments on
December 9th. They will represent
not charity, on the one hand nor a
raise of wages, on the other, but
rather, if | can reduce the idea to a
phrase, messages of goodwill, under
standing and appreciation on the
part OF the officers of the company
for efficient and loyal employees in a
temporary time of stress"
