"The Law Decides.'

Moving picture productions of the
nualitv Of "The Law Decides" which
is booked for presentation at the
Grand next Friday, are hard to find.
Both writer and director are to ne
complimented on the wonderfully e1-
fectiye manner in which the psycho-
lopical developments have been made.
They take us to the innermost recess
es of the homes and hearts OF the
characters of the play, and do SO IN
the most delicate manner; revealing
every phase in the lives of individu-
ais. and enabling us to read their
very thoughts.
The cast chosen to interpret this
domestic drama are Donald Hall,
Dorothy Kelly, Louise Beaudet, Harry
Morey, Bobby Connolly, Adele Kelly
and Bonnie Taylor. Louise Beaudet
as Mrs. Wharton, who with her
daughter Beatrice occupies a portion
of the home of her step-son who lives
with his pretty wife and little boy in
the other half of the house, does a
marvellous piece of work. She 1t Is
who stirs the cauldron of misery
which finally reacts against herself
To her is due the separation of mar
and wife, the suicide of the man who
became her tool with a promise of IN
dividual benefit, the wrecking OF hel
own daughters happiness, and the
final overthrowing of her own hopes
for the achievement OF a selfish de
sire.

"The Heart Of a Child. /"

"The Heart of Child which will
be seen at the Grand Thursday, is a
five-reel adaptation of Frank Dan
by's celebrated novel. 1t pictures the
rise of girl from the slums of Lon
don. She becomes a famous singer
and finally wins the love Of titled
man. The intpaate pictures of En-
elish life are novel and pleasing, and
the same can be said of the scenes
from the slums and the cafes and mu-
sic halls.
o Edna Flugarth is seen at her best
in the part of "Sally Shape" She
gets the sympathy of the observer
from the first, and particularly when
on the night of her triumph, after
leaving her at the door Of the Hat ne
had furnished for her, Gilbert enters
with second latch key, of whose ex-
istence Sally is unaware. He comes
to take his reward, but again the
child heart conquers; he is repulsed
and leaves contrite, throwing away
the kew into the road. The next
morning he asks Sally to be his wife,
which causes her to face the greatest
ordeal of her life. The story in
creases steadily in interest and comes
to a very pleasieeg close: The cast is
an English one and we'll balanced.

"The Market of Vain Desire"

Marriage to obtain a title; marri-
age that is mere bargain and sale;
marriage without love, in which girl
gives herself to a man unworthy OF
her affection, merely 10 crafty selfish
ambition and pride-what subject has
been brought more prominently and
painfully before the American pubic,
in the last few years? -
The list of American girls of wealth
who have sold themselves, or have
been sold by scheming mothers, to
foreign noblemen, and who have re-
pented bitterly, is a long and noto1l-
Gus one. A girl doomed to just such
a fate. and saved only through the
daring intervention of a fearless man,
is a character. in the Triangle drama,
s.The Market of Vain Desire in
which II. B. Warner will be seen at

the Badgley millions, and to get the
beautiful young girl along with them
is prospect most pleasing to nm.
Helen's father is dominated by his
wife. The girl herself has seen SO
little of genuine affection IN the set
in which she moves that She doubts
whether there is any such thing, ana
wearily accedes to her mothers plan'
But John Armstrong, a young
CLERGYMAN who has come from coun-
trv pastorate to the city church at

of the marriage; in the second place.
he is in love with the girl himself
Asked by Badgley to announce tne
engagement Of Helen, ne instead
breaches a vitriolic sermon denounc-
ing the very sort of marriage Which
the girl contemplates.
A terrific sensation in the church

realization of her folly, breaks the
engagement. The trustees, callhg
later on the young preacher to ask
his resignation, find him lald low py. d
whack on the head from the infurlat7

WATER SUPPLY TESTED.
State Health Board Takes Important
Step in Peoples Interest.

During the trip Of the labora-
tory car Of BEaasiana State Beard
Of Health. slfyg III April, 1 O48
samples Of water from every quarter
Of the state were collected and sub
iectei to meteorological test.
The process Of discovering the
quality Of the water supply through
out the state, inaugurated by pr.
Bowling, is the first of the kind to
be started in this country, though
Kentucky some time ago made an in
vestigation of the same nature, but
by no means as far-reaching. The
laboratory car runs to every quarter
of the state and when stops are made
an automobile is unloaded and pro-
ceeds through the country, collecting
samples of water from streams, wells
and sources of communal supply.
The sampling Of the water from a
well, at first glance, affects only the
residents Of the farmstead, but the
source of the supply on the neigh
boring farms is probably the same,
and if the water be good there is d
probability that the water from the
other wells in the neighborhood is al
SO good, unless there is immediate
contamination. II the supply proves
to be bad, the neighboring farmers
are at once put on their guard and
can send in sample from their wells
for analysis.
The analysis made is bacteriologl-
cal only, every form Of organic life
being examined by careful test. The
result has not yet been announced,
bat the compilation is in progress
and will soon be published by the
state board. Some of the communal
sources of supply have been found to
be impure, and the board has notified
the local authorities and directed the
proper method of publication.
There have been cases decided in
the north in which the municipal gov
ernment has been held responsible for
the effects of impure water, and IN
some cases criminal prosecutions have
been successfully launched against the
municipal officials. Before the pres
ent investigation is concluded ex-
aminations will have been made of
from ten to thirty samples from every
parish of the state, and a good idea
will be had of the water supply OF
every family in Louisiana. Where
the water is found not to be potable
the supply will be condemned by the
state board and notices will be posted
warning the public against drinking
| and il the water is consumed the per
son drinking it win do so at his own
risk and with open eyes.-Times

d girl who was very poor. Her name
was Ella. Ella was blind and could
not see the big white clouds float
across the sky as if they We're boats,
nor could she see the green meadow.
Ella lived in a cottage that was not
so far from great composers home
and she would often sit upon his door,
step for hours and listen to him play,
She wished that she could be great
composer too.
One day when she had done all her
work, Ella went to the composers 5
house and sat upon the doorstep as
usual. She was listening to the beau
tiful notes he played. Sometimes
they were sweet and soft and other
times they were loud. Ella began to
sing. She unlocked her lips that
were clasped together and out float
ed mellow notes into the air. Then
she began to sing sweeter and more
beautiful 5han ever. The ar was
filled with glorious music. All the
neighbors stopped to listen.
But at last the composer stopped
playing and Ella stopped singing.
He walked to the door ans4 opened 1t.
"Was that you singing" he said.
ayes" ,"areplied Ella, politely.
"Can YOU play also?" asked the
composer. =
ii never have, but maybe can If
try" she answered.
"Well come in and try he said.
Ella felt her way to the piano and
sat upon the stool. She began to
play what she heard the composer
play.
Ella had never played before but
It was a gift from God that she could
play without seeing the keys OF the
piano. After this she spent one hour
every day with the composer.
Anf Chow Ella is an opera singer
and sings the opera that the com.

altogether.
"Sh-h-h-h-h," whispered five happ,

"The Primal Lure"

William S. Hart, admittedly Am
ericas premier interpreter of rugged
frontier types, has the leading role in
uThe Primal Lure" which will be
seen at the Gem Theatre today.
"The Primal Lure" is an absorbing
drama of sfe in the great Canadian
northwest. 1t recites the stirring ro-
nance of Angus Mcconnell, a young
Scotch Canadian factor, and Lois LIE
Moyne, daughter of French settler
at the post. 1t is replete with thrill
ing encounters with the Blackfeet In
dians. and seems with a love interest
riyaled in it's appeal only by the pic
turesque beauty of the story's back
ground.
Hart has the role of Mcconnell and
he has invested it with rare power.
A strong cast appears in his support.

"The EteEaal Grind"

''The Eternal Grind" a fve-part
subject featuring Mary Pickford, is
announced as the Grand Theatre of
fering for Monday. 1t is story of
the tenements-of toll and struggle
and temptation on the one side, of
avarice and worse on the other. The
characters and the situations have
been drawn without exaggeration.
Miss Plckford has the role of Mary,
one of three sisters, all employed in
sWeatshop, which is reproduced on no
small scale. Mary follows the
straight path. She tries, and for
time fails, to keep Jane from going
contrary to it, and also fights to keep
awe Amy, who has fallen a victim to
long hours and lack of ventilation.
Miss Pickford has part in which she
perfectly fits.
There is lighter phase to this
story of grind. sThat is the love of
Mary and Owen Wharton, the latter,
Of whom, settlement worker, in dis
agreement with his grasping father,
secures work in the shop where Mary
is employed. Ernest Wharton, the
elder brother, who leads Jane astray,
is let eventually to see the light
through the persuasion of the revol-
yer Mary has taken from the hand of
Jane, thereby precipitating marri-
age and preventing murder. This
is one of the sterner situations; an
other is the colloquy between Mary
and the elder Wharton, who when he
pleads with the young woman to come
to his home and save the life of his
son, is met with refusal, justified
by Wharton's previous disregard of
Mary's plea to help her invalid sister.
The employegpromises new factory
and higher Wages and Mary goes to
her lovers side.

Rough on Rats.

The population of New Orleans has
been greatly reduced by the plague
prevention work of the United States
public health service-the rat popula-
ton, we mean. Up to Aug. 10, 81o,-
1873 rodents had been captured by
the health corps force of trappers,
and the number increases at the rate
of about $500 week. OF 376,295
rats examined at the laboratory $50
were found to be infected with the
germ of the bubonic plague, the la-
test specimen having been captured
Aug. /, 1916. There has been no hui
man plague case in New Orleans
since Sept. 8, 1915. The health SER
vice campaign is rough on rats, but
mighty good for the rest Of the city's
population.
