To Avoid the Grip.

The grippe is pronounced germ all
ment but the germ only gets in his
work in a serious way when the sys-
tenn is run down and the general phys
ical condition weakened.
The preventive is much more import
ant than the remedy First of all keep
the feet dry, dress warmly and eat
enough good food and take proper ex-
ercise. Ventilate your room well, but
don't be "a fresh air fiend" TO the eX-
tent of chilling yourself and every one
around you. The fresh air fiend" is
Just as bad as the person who shuts
himself in a room and keeps out all
the fresh air in fear of draught An
other precaution is to spray the throat
and nostrils daily Win an antiseptic
solution.

PALACE BOOKS FAMOUS
TRIANGLE" PICTURES

When the Palace theatre opened its
doors to the public in November, the
management adopted the slogan, mo
thing is too good for Palace patrons
Since the opening of this house
there has come into the film world
the climax of motion picturedCm. An
organization composed of the three
greatest producers of motion pictures
the world has ever known, have form
themselves into a company and have
adopted the name THE Triangle" for
their brand of films. These mon are
David W. Griffith of "The Birth of .
Nation" fame, Mack Sennett of Key
stone comedy fame, and Thomas II.
Ince. who directed "The Wrath OF
the Gods" It is the plan Of each
producer to make his pictures live
up to the reputation established pre-
viously by each of them. Thus far
they have lived up to their reputation,
as all Triangle pictures shown have
been very well received and in sew
eral instances are playing return en-
gagements.
Previous to this organization. these
three producers made the pictures
for a full programme, consisting Of
some thirty reels week. but in order
to concentrate their talent, they will
make only two pictures per week and
no time or expense is being spared
in their production
The Majestic at Tulsa, the Hippo
drome at Dallas, and the New Thea
tire in Oklahoma City have contracts
for the Triangle pictures, and it is
specified in each contract that they
are to be shown for no less than 20
cents. They will be shown at the
Palace at the same admission price
of and 10 cents. Ardmore is the
second town in Oklahoma to show
Triangle pictures.
These pictures. added to an already
strong program at this house. makes
it positively the strongest program Of
any moving picture theatre in the
United States.
These pictures are to be shown on
Wednesday and Saturday of each
week, beginning January &c.

Famous MinstreIs Coming.

Honest endeavor will always be
crowned with success. No doubt this
is the reason why Richards e Prin-
gle's Famous Georgia Minstrels have
been so long before the public. To
make this season better than last, to
give the public a better show than
last, has always been the watchword
of the management. Worn-out ideas,
shabby wardrobe and questionable
acts have never found a place in their
program. These methods may sue
ceed for time, but the American
people are too intelligent to tolerate
it for long. Not a questionable word,
act or song can find place in the
performance given by this company.
Heads of families often hesitate to
take their mothers, sisters, wives or
children to minstrel show for this
reason but they need have no fear
to take them to performance given
by this company. The program is
absolutely clean and refined. This
company, which numbers nearly thir-
ty people, will be seen at the Robi-
son Opera House Friday, Jan. II.
Bring the children out to see the
big free street parade at noon.

Mary Fuller at Theatorium.

Novelty? Well, you may think as
you like about that, but when we tell
you that Mary is the mermaid, tail
ard all, swimming about as if the
ocean was her native element, and
summing herself on the rocks in true
Lorelei fashion, perhaps you'll admit
that it's different from any of the
thousand and one different things she
has done. Mary Mermaid is captured
and brought aboard yacht and her
disregard of the ways of folks with
two legs and proper feet shocks the
ladies' aboard, and will set the fans
wild with laughter. Fortunately she
is able to discard the fish tail until
she gets tired of humans, when she
returns to the ocean. leaving an ach-
ing-hearted lover behind her, and then
he wakes up. It's a pippin, and
Mary-well Mary is Mary.
This very interesting picture, with
the lovable Mary Fuller, is at the
Theatorium today.

GIRL DIES AS PREDICTED
Fortune Teller Told Pennsylvania Girl
to Avoid Trips on the
Water.

Phoenixville, Pa.-The body Of Doro-
thy Barr, the seventeen-year-old girl
of this place, who drowned In the
Schuylkill river. was found about one
mile from the spot where she lost her
life when her canoe upset. Lock Ten
der Hennessy, at the Pawling locks,
saw the body floating in the river and
recovered II from boat.
The drowning of Miss Barr and the
finding Of her body followed the pre-
diction made a week before the girls
death by fortune teller whom she
and girl friend consulted In spirit
of fun. The seer then told Miss Barr
to avoid all trips or voyages upon the
water, and said she would take such
a trip and would drown. The fortune
teller also predicted that after four
days her body would be recovered.
The girl laughed at the clairvOyant,
but the prophesy was vividly recalled
TO the mind of her companion when
the body was recovered.

Well may Bonfort's for May 25 have
In black-face type through Its pages
the statement that July will be the
biggest whisky producing month Ken
lucky has seen in years, but when the
editor tries to establish any relation
between this and the actual whisky
consumption Of the country, he Is dis
torting facts. There Is no relation
whatever. Shipping and distilling con-
ditions abroad are so upset as to affect
the statistics Of the whole world.
In addition to this there enters an
other important factor into the situa-
tion which explains increased tax pay
ments, but does not show increased
consumption. We refer to the state
ment issued by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo In commenting upon Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue Os-
born's report, which report shows an
Increased tax payment Of S1O,013. 40
over the corresponding period of year
ago. Ii must be remembered that there
was tremendous slump In the rev.
enue collections on whisky for the fis-
cal year which ended June 80. 1915.
Here Is Secretary McAdoo's statement:
Notwithstanding the spread of Pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first 10 months Of the fiscal
year increased $1o,o13,14o over the COR
responding period Of . year ago. This
is due in great measure to the effective
enforcement Of the internal revenue
tax on distilled spirits. IL 10 estirna ated
that through the campaign of the
Treasury Department against under
gauging, equalizing and blookadina in
distilleries, the revenue Of tho govern
ment has been increased by probably
$4,000, 900 annually.
Tho only article Of taxation showing
a decrease 10 beer. Because Of the rel
atively low tax on fsrmsnted liquors
and the difficulty Of getting the un-tax-
paid beer on the market, the Commits
sioner says that the loss In tax on
beer, on account Of fraud has been neg
principally to the increase In the Pro-
hibition laws.
In other words the pious distillers
have been defrauding the government
They have not been paying their full
tax, and now under a stricter law en-
forcement regime, the whisky paid tax
shows an increase and the pro-liquor
papers are working overtime to make
1t appear that this means an increased
consumption.
The revenue reports show the in
crease In tax payments on whisky, but
there is absolutely no evidence from
any source to show that there has been
an increased consumption.
Secretary McAdoo's explanation Of
the increased whisky revenue does not
bear out the contentious Of the pro-
liquor journals.

"CR0SSlNG THE BAR"
What the Drink Traffic Costs the
American Consumers.

The retail cost Of alcoholic liquors
consumed by the people OF the United
States during 1915 has just been esti-
mated by Mr.. william p. F. Ferguson,
The statistican, at $2,151 POI, ,765. Mr..
Ferguson's estimate In 1914 was 81
436,919,537.
II these figures are correst, the
drink bill was $285, TIT, 772 less in
1915 than in 1914, which does not ac-
cord with the theory that consumption
Is unaffected by prohibition
Mr. Ferguson arrives at his figures
by allowing 1925 a gallon for domestic
spirits, $500 for imported spirits,
$500 for domestic wines. s4.00 for i'm
ported wines. $0.64h for domestic
beer, and s1.oO for imported beer.
The totals are S76,40s,S46 for
spirits, s76,776,266 for wine; and ST..
l9S,O15, ,663 for beer.
The total expenditure for alcoholic
liquors for the past seven years IL
estimated at s16,105, ,271, ,o79. The re-
ceipts from internal revenue (19OS-15J
and duties QgOS-14) for the past
seven years amount to 642,463, ,428,
leaving q net fiscal loss by reason Of
the internal revenue system for seven
years of S14,462, ,S07,6 ,651.

The cornea of a rabbit will be graft

ract removed from the other.
In charge of Mrs. Corinne Call, a

Increased Tax Payment of Whisky
Does Not Mean Increased CONSUMPTION
NERTAIN newspapers of the coun-

HERTAIN newspapers Of the coun-
u try unfriendly to the Prohibition
cause are expressing qualification
over what they profess to believe to be
proof that Prohibition has failed. They
refer to the fact that since the first of
July last seven states have adopted the
Prohibition policy, and yet during the
first 10 months OF the present fiscal
year the United States Government
shows an increase In tax payments on
whisky (our pro-liquor friends call 1t
increased "consumption'O amounting
decrease In the production of beer,
amounting to 100000 barrels.
These figures seem to it In With the
theory advanced by these newspapers
that increased Prohibition territory
means the shifting of drink consump-
ton from beer to distilled spirits But
In reality 1t proves nothing Of the sort
In the first place, tax payments on
whisky do not represent "consump-
ton" under some circumstances. Given
regular importing conditions and tax
payments and consumption-meani
by consumption all the uses to which
whisky and all distilled spirits are put
have an approximate relationship.
When either or both Of the above
tax payments can have no relation
whatever to consumption. There may
even be an increased tax payment and
decreased consumption at the same
time. The war has greatly disturbed
the liquor business, so that for months
foreign liquors have not been imported
as they formerly were. Many distillers
Of special foreign brands, such as Cor
don's Dry Gin Co. Ltd, Of England,
have opened branch dlstilleries In the
United States. What these firms for
merly sent over as importations now
register as tax paid distillery products
in the United States. Other purely
American brands are being produced In
increased quantities to take the place
Of other foreign brands both here and
abroad because OF the unsettled dis
tilling and shipping conditions abroad.
Boston rum Of itself represents a dis
tilling and tax-paying revival, which
has no relation whatever to American
consumption" 1t goes to debauch
the negroes of Africa, in place Of the
now impossible British product. Ships
are being chartered from Boston In this
trade at figures which bring more mon
ey for one trip than it costs to build
the individual vessels. Eighty thou
sand dollars was, paid on May Is for
one rum trip to Africa by ship 1t cost
but 81, 900 to build II years ago.

KING DRINKS AFTER HORSE

"It had been a hot day, and King
Albert, who had not left the trenches
for hours, was suffering from thirst.
He asked for something to drink, but
not a soldier had anything left. Back
of the trenches q man saw a horse
drinking and went over and started to
pull the bucket away.
Don't do that said the king. Let
