FLOCA'S CAFE IS MADE
FAMOUS BY GREAT WAR

Saloniki-Floca's has become the So
cial focus Of the entente armies in the
Balkans. Some such rendezvous comes
to be associated with almost every ex-
peditionary war. The bar Of
Shepherds hotel in Carlo was the
place through which everyone passed
sooner or later in the time of the Su-
dan campaigns; the Rand club at Jo-
hannesburg fulfilled a similar function
in South Africa. Here the same un-
expected greatness has been thrust up
on Floca's, so that it's name will al
ways remain in the memory of those
told off to spend this tedious winter
at Saloniki.
Floca's in peace times was just a
commonplace cafe, with no more than
the modest distinction of being the
best of such establishments in Saloniki.
Here on an ordinary weekday were to
be found a sprinkling of Levantine
while they discussed with fluent ges-
ture the latest political rumors from
Athens.
Its fortunate proprietor, who like so
many others here is making a small
fortune, has to thank two of the most
cherished allied institutions-the Eng
lishman's afternoon tea and the
It dIl dLlSILk1OIl dpCIllh VI dp-
petizer. From 4 o'clock in the after
noon until s o'clock, Floca's is more
densely populated than any spot in Sa-
loniki. 1t is filled with officers of the
allied armies-base officers, camp Of
ficers, embarkation officers, staff Off
GERS, flying officers, French, British,
Serbian, Greek-such a varied collec-
ton of officers of every rank and corps
that F1ocas might be the animated
fashion book Of a military tailor Of in
terpational clientele.
But Floca's would hardly be a sue
cess in fashionable London. Its inter-
Tor Is gloomy and often foggy. Its en-
trance Is beset by an importunate
horde Of ragged urchins. Its Greek
walters, Of sinister aspect, only con-
descend to serve when their attention
Is attracted by a series of sharp hand
claps. But in Salonik men count
themselves lucky to find a table free,
and for those who have lived for
months on a barren mountain side it is
a shadowy and distant reproduction of
the institutions Of home

PROPERTY MAN BECOMES
AN ACTOR IN IS MINUTES
From N. Photoplay Magazine.


Honus Smith, Of the Essanay studios,

theater property men in Chicago-or
anywhere, for that matter. He spent
just % minutes becoming a finished
moving picture character actor. Direc-
tor Hayden found himself shy" a man
to fill the important role of property
man in The Strange Case Of Mary
Page"-a property man in a road COM
pany who Is given the leading part
when the star jumps his contract and
bitches the act.
He remembered to recollect that Ho-
nus Smiths grandfather and great
grandfather were acters of note, and
without warning he ordered Smith,
property man, to become Smith, prop
erty man. 1t was the first time in his
life that Smith had attempted to act.

the eighth episode Of the play he shared
honors with Henry B. Walthall and
Edna Mayo. Now he's drawing a reg

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

By David A. WATSON, In the Outlook.
This utilitarian age has discarded all
ship fittings not absolutely necessary,
among them the gtoried fgurehead, a bit
OF nautical furniture which had outlivcd
every other.
At the present time there are only three
transatlantic steamships besides the I'M
perator that carry hgureheads into New
York-all old and foreign built. The
American liners Philadelphia and New
York wear TIE presentments OF two act
resses popular when the ships were built
The Philadelphia's is Mary Anderson,
the sweep Of the overhanging bows. The
New York's divinity Is Lily Langtry, and
she barely missed violent death when the
Hamburg American liner Pretoria rammed
the New York off Nantucket last June.
The British built Oceana, recently sold to
New York owners, Is adorned with a fig
urehead of Aphrodite.
Today among the worlds sailing YES
sells few foreigns ships and barks proud
ly wear the ancient carvings, but the bill
let head, knee or bracket under the
bowsprit, has superseded the greater part
of them. Possibly a little conventional
scrollwork framing the builders name re-
lieves the bleakness on some trim fore
and-afters, but far oftener there is moth
ing whatever. The Maine three-master
Mary B. wellington Is said to be the only
merchant windjammer on the Atlantic
coast now wearing a genuine head OF the
olden time.
Until recently warships have continued
to be the most richly garnished vessels
afloat. The grand old fighter Olympia,
which carried Admiral Dewey to triumph
at Manila, has on its sharp slicing stem
a bronze Winged Victory holding aloft an
eagle, the goddess herself poised on a
fanciful golden scroll work extending far
abaft the hawse-pipes. 1t was designed
by Saint-Gaudens and cost $4,000. 1t was
partly on this account, as we'll as for its
gallant record, that the Olympia Is one OF
the very few ships Of our navy that are
allowed to retain their fgureheads.
For these decorations on the fighters
have lately fallen into disfavor. The same

A Famous Physicians
Wonderful Discovery

After a series of careful experiments
and tests at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, covering
many years-Dr. Pierce, the medical di.
rector of that hospital, made announcement
that he could prove that medicine which
he called "ANURIC' was the best uric
acid solvent now to be had. AS a rem
edy for those easily recognized symptoms
of infammation-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly "Anuric" acts; causing
the pains and stiffness rapidly to disap-
pear. .
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the

kidneys are deranged the blood is filed
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists, or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
1t is just as necessary to keep the kid
neys acting properly as to keep the bow
els active.
The very best possible way to take care
of yourself is to take a glass of hot water
before meals and an "Anuric" tablet. In
this way it is readily dissolved with the
food, picked up by the blood and finally
reaches the kidneys, where it has a tonic
effect in rebuilding those organs.

FOR S-HOUR LAW
Yielded to Greed and Fear
Own Words Con-
denim Him.

Wilkes-Barre, Penn, Oct. l4.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, speaking here to-
night. urged the election of Charles
E. Hughes by laying bare what he
termed the vices Of the eight-hour
railroad law and the cowardice of
President Wilson in dealing with the
threatened strike.
Addressing himself TO an audience
composed largely of mine workers and
those in sympathy with them. the
Colonel emphasized the difference be-
tween his own methods Of settling the
anthracite coal strike and those Of
President Wilson in the railroad dis
pute.
Mr. Roosevelt declared that the
Adamson law was primarily an IN
crease in wages and that it had not
reduced hours. He asserted that the
President had betrayed the public

that there is something sacred about

is so. If il is applied universally, then
Mr.. Wilson is not 20 be excused for

"Of course. the simple truth is that
