Men are realizing that they have

For many years the best rubber was
that which came from the banks Of
the Amazon. The people of that coun-
try enjoyed a practical monopoly and
determined to keep it. Not rubber
seed would they let get out Of the
country, under heavy penalties. But
In 1876, by means OF generous pres
ents here and there, a venturesome
Englishman sailed out Of the Amazon
with 10000 rubber seeds, and that
was the start Of the great rubber
plantations Of Ceylon and the Malay
peninsula. It was 20 years after these
seeds left the Amazon before the first
plantation rubber was ready for the
market, and then the total was only
I45 tons. That was IN 1905. Last
year it was close to n 100000 tons.

Palace Today.

William S. Hart will be seen at the
Palace Theatre today in the long
awaited Triangle Aztec story, "The
Captive God" This play is from the
pen of Monte NJ. Katterjohn, and Of
fers Hart in a role that is totally
unlike anything he has ever attempt
ed since his desertion of the foot
lights for the film studio. The part
is that of a stalwart Spaniard, who,
shipwrecked in the early part of the
sixteenth century, Is adopted by the
people of Tehuan, in ancient Mexico,
and made their leader because Of his
superior wisdom.
Never since he first entered the
motion picture fold has Thomas II.
Ince bent his effort toward the pro-
duction of drama like THE Cap
tive God" lie has preferred to let
pass untouched that period of the
worlds history which contains some
of the most interesting and unusual
romances ever written. But when
Katterjohn wrote The Captive God"
Ince saw in 1t the possibilities Of
remarkable motion picture play.
With his customary care, Ince has
incorporated a great amount Of de-
tail into this subject, and the result
is a magnificent spectacle-romance.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation
of the mucous membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove a
lifes burden. Many persons who have
this loathesome disease will remem-
