angle-Ince production of Vingie e.
ROe's celebrated novel of the same
name, adapted for the screen by J.
G. Hawks, of the Ince staff.
"The Primal Lure" is an absorbing
drama of life in the great Canadian
Northwest. It recites the stirring ro-
nance of Angus Mcconnell, young
Scotch Canadian factor, and LOIS LIE
Moyne, daughter Of a French settler
at the post 1t is replete with thrill
ing encounters with the Blackfeet
Indians, and teens with love inter-
est rivaled in it's appeal only by the
picturesque beauty of the story's
background. -
Hart has the role of Mcconnell and
he has invested it, it is declared, with
rare power. i While the part is un-
like that of "Blaze" Tracy in "Hell's
Hinges" or Steve Denton in "The
Aryan," it has provided che noted
actor with the same opportunities for
forceful characterization.

pears in support of Hart. 1t in

] BEST THEATRE.

Today-Lou-Telleg has the lead
ing role in the latest Paramount fea-
ture, "The Victory of Conscience"
Powerful and compelling is "The
Victory of Conscience" written by
Margaret Turnbull from stories by
Alexandra De Janelli, and released
by the Lasky ompany. Frank Reich
ert has directed this tale of modern
France, with Wilfred auckland as
art director. 1t is a satisfying pro-
duction in all departments.
Lou-Tellegen has the role of Louis
Count de Tavannes, a sinner who
turns saint. 1t is part that splea-
didly fits the player-the young
spender who turns priest after be-
traying a simple hearted dancer.
"The Victory of Conscience" is 8
picture of which we should hear
much. Censors to the contrary, it is
a wholesome story for men and wo.
men. 1t holds and it moves-and as
to the latter there is no stronger mo.
ment in the play than that when the
Mary Magdalen comes to the side Of
the priest as under great stress hi
breaches to the outcasts of the Cafe
OF the Little Toads.

CALOMEL TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose Of Nasty Calomel Makes You
Sick and You Lose q Days Work.


Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. when calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get 50-cent bot
tie Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which Is
a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomeL Take a spoonful
and If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without MAX
ing you sick, you just 60 back and
get your money.
II you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, 1t may salivate you, while if
YOU take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full of ambi-
ton and ready for work or, play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to give to
children; they like it.

STEADILY GROWING.

1t was a considerable source of sat
| for the betterment have taken place in
brewster since our last visit to that
Iplace, upwards of ten years ago.
Changes within that long period could
| be expected for a town that is not
wholly a dead one is bound to show
some Improvement in that many years,
or the people thereof had better fold
| their tents like the Arabs and silently
steal away. The changes should have
been greater, considering the admira-
Ible location of the town on the Column
| bia river, but from the fact that con-
siderable growth has been made under
adverse circumstances there is every
reason to anticipate still more mark
ed and rapid increase in size in the
next few years to come as the sur
rounding country develops and the
south half of the Colville reservation,
near at hand, settles up, as it will do
rapidly. The place has had it's back
| sets, too, for fire has gouged large
sections out of the business district
during the past few years, and a small
town is slow recovering from such
jolts. Yet for all these calamities, and
the backwardness of the country in
settling up, the town is gradually
spreading over the fiat upon which it
| is located.
The greatest noticeable Improvement
is in the number and character of the
church buildings. For years the town
die not run to churches, and an edifice
| OF that kind was not to be found. Today
Brewster has two or three of the
handsomest church buildings in the
county, one of Them the stone Episco-
pal church, being perfect gem.
When we first visited the country
Brewster was known as Virginia City
and the sum and substance of the place
with such high sounding name was
confined to one or two buildings
AS the country behind it set
tied up, travel and freighting
| by boat from Wenatchee, increased
Brewster became the entrepot and dis
tributing point for all of this upper
country Naturally town grew up to
meet the growing demands of the bust
mess. When the railroad was built
| through the northern part of the coun-
