"The Destroying Angel" an Edison
five-reel photodrama, will be offered
at the Majestic theatre today. AS
its title would indicate, there is trag
edy in this story, but so thoroughly
blended with romance that its grue
someness is lost, and only fleeing inn
pressions of it remain. Love is the
predominating keynote in this strong
photoplay. True, love invites trag
edy in "The Destroying Angel but
the sentimental strain throughout the
five reels of film is so marked that
a spectator loses sight of tragedy un
til it is brought to the fore. The eli
max, too, does much to efface mem
ory of the misery and human blood
trail that mark the life of beautiful

FRECKLEF FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with
the guarantee of a reliable dealer
that it will not cost you a penny
unless it removes the freckles; while
if it does give you a clear complex,
ion the expense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beau
tiful complexion. Rarely is more
than one ounce needed for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double strength othine as this is
the prescription sold under guaran-
tee of money back if it fails to re-
move freckles.

time make the building the last word

formation obtainable 1t was found that
the original estimate is somewhat I'm.
der the actual cost An effort will be
made to hold down the cost to the
limit without sacrificing convenience
and style Of the building. There were
no large unexpected additions to the
cost. The discovery OF quicksand in
the basement was one of the factors
that made unavoidable increase in
cost over the estimate.
Refrigeration and boilers will exceed
the estimated cost somewhat although
the elevators cost will be no greater
than expected. 1t is hoped by the ex-
ecutive committee that the whole cost
will not be materially increased but
it is sure to be somewhat In excess
of original estimates.
Change Some Rooms.
1t was recommended by Messrs. War
den and Proudfoot to change eighteen
of the rooms with lavatories to include
toilets and tile floors. This will make
an added expenditure of some $4,000 but
will give added character to the hotel.
Many rooms that were to have cement
floors will be tiled.
