Don't Let a Cold

The way to check cold is TO fight
it from the first. Even the worst
maladies often are easily conquered
if attacked early enough. Colds may
lead to asthma. bronchial troubles
and pulmonary affections. In the
treatment of these one of the first
needs is to build up body resistance.

CONFESSIONS
MoLLlE'S FINERY \
Mollie came over this morning in
the most raYishing white gown. It
had Paris stamped all over it, yet it
was one of the simplest little frOcks
I have seen in many days-one Of
those sweetly simple affairs that a
man who is always finding fault with
the dressmaker's bill calls to the. at
tentiOn of his wife by asking her why
is it not possible for her to wear
something like it.
She, poor thing, knows that the
gown cost more than her entire sea-
sons wardrobe, but she also knows
how futile it would>be to tell him
that. He would not believe it, unless
he saw the itemized statement.
What joy that frock must be to
you, MOllie, u said.
Yes, isn't it a dear! 1 got it at
Jenny's. l think she makes the pref
test wash frocks l have ever seen.
Chad says it's a good looking
dress, but he wishes l would wear
something that was more elaborate y
continued MoIlie, with a laugh. Il
wish you could have seen his face
when told him what 1 paid for it. "
"She is a robberw he exclaimed
f1ercely.
mo, she isn't, Chad. The money
is there. Every stitch put into it is
done by hand. All that embroidery is
the work of patient fingers.
Seems to me, Margie, honey, you
are looking pretty foxy yourself. That
embroidered nightgOwn with its ex-
quisite lace and pink ribbons and
your paIeybIue bed coat and the blue
satin cOverlid and the wide blue rib
bon tied about your hair make you a
picture. Margie, you are far from
hopeless yet No woman could be
who had spent so much time on her
self and looked so well as you do. You
still have some interest in life.

pOrtant role in my life just now"
looked at the two girls as they
stood there together; MOllie in her
white embroidered gown that cost
hundreds Of dollars and Alice in her
immaculate white uniform that five
dollar bill would buy. / wondered,
little book, what Fate it was that
moulded the lives Of these two young
women.
They are very much alike, Mollie
and Alice
Pm glad lam saying this to you,
little book, and not to some of the
old fashioned, conventional women
have known, women like MOlie's
mother for instance. That kind of
woman would think l was insane to
compare the two. However, l must
repeat that they are very much alike.
Enthusiastic, impulsive, generous,
even in the giving of themselves, and
yet poor Alice has suffered everything
because she loved much, and MOIlie,
loving just as much, has had every
thing made easy for her.
Fate put every obstacle in the way
of Alice, and when she stumbled over
them all and into her lovers embrace,
it was with hurts and bruises from
which she will never recover.
Fate brushed aside every obstacle
so that Mollie might walk down the
fiower-decked aisle Of the church,
where amid soft music and the good
wishes of loving friends she proudly
gave herself to her lover.
What is it that shapes our lives.

THE CHRISTIAN"
A GREAT PLAY
Wonderful Story Thrown on the
Screen in Bismarck and
Orpheum Theatres.

Glory, the little actress heroine who
appeared in Hall Gaines masterpiece,
1.-The Christian" at the Bismarck an.
Orpheum theatres, Monday and Tues.
day evenings, exemplifed the name,
and from start to finish, she glorified
the part given her.
The Theme.
"The Christian" satire on formal.
ism, and an appeal to the simple. in
Christian life, as given in the picture
play at the theaters last night, show
ed plainly@the difference between the
church of the classes and the church
Of the masses. Glory, girl of the
masses, rose from the bottom and
reached the height of fame in her
part as an; actress Through all her
life her simpleness of soul and purity
of living exempltied the innate Chris
tianity the author attempted to paint
in his strong word pictures. John
Sturm, man of the classes, giving
up all to enter a monastery and later
devote his life to the lifting Of the
fallen and holding aloft the Masters
service, is the hero of the play. He,
the lover of Glory, is so strongly
contrasted with the wickedness of the
others of his station that the beauty
of his service stands forth and finally
wins over to the Christian standard,
Glory. Her life also has radiated it's
good influences and the man who in
the beginning endeavored to encom-
pass her downfall steps forward and
aids her in the new life she is about
to enter, the uplifting of the fallen
and the strengthening of the feeble
spark Of Christianity in the weak
