STRONG PHOTOPLAY
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Startling Revelations As to White Slave Traffic Shown In Strong
 Motion Picture Drama

The photo drama, 'The Inside of the White Slave Traffic." now playing at the Jefferson theatre and continuing until Sunday. is a revelation to a large percentage of the public in its expose of commercialized vice. Few of the unsophisticated realize to what ex- tent this nefarious traffic has perme- ated the society of our country.
 The picture makes no pretense at ap- pealing as an amusing photoplay-it is realistic portrayal of the meth ods practiced by the exploiters of wom- en in every large city of our country, illustrating how they acquire the con- fidence of the innocent girl, then pro- ceed to entrap her and turn her over to some vulture whose only ambition is to live a life of ease and useless ness from her earnings as a white shaver.
 local officer said at the perform ance last night that every man and woman in Birmingham should see the picture.

Salvation Joan was filmed under the personal supervision of Albert E. Smith, and is the latest Vitagraph Blue Ribbon release. Miss May played the title role, and gained scores of new friends here by her superb act ing. She is, perhaps, better known on the legitimate stage than in the movies, for she was the star of many famous productions before forsaking the stage for the more humdrum eX- istence of married life. The lure of the movies appealed to her and the production of Salvation Joan" justi- fies the producers in securing her services. Salvation Joan" will be shown at the Strand again tonight.

ROYAL LINE IS
EXTINGUISHED BY
SORDID TRAGEDY
Last of the House of Obreno-
witch Lies in a Little Chapel,
Forgotten

Belgrade, Feb. 11.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The last of
the house of Obrenovitch, the mur-
dered Alexander, lies in little chapel
in the Belgrade cemetery. forgotten by
conqueror and conquered alike. Be-
side him rests Queen Draga, the wo-
man for whose sake he broke off re-
lations with his father and whose in
fiuence upon him undoubtedly led to
the sordid tragedy that extinguished
this royal line.
The chapel stands in the center of a
neglected graveyard. 1t is a primitive
building, a larger sample of the typi-
cal Serbian PEASANTS cottage, without
ornamentation of any kind. It is of
brick, rudely plastered on the out
side. Only a cross carved into a tablet
giving the date of erection shows that
it is not an ordinary house or even
substantial barn. Bullets have bor-
ed neat holes through two of the plain
glass windows, and have made blisters
in a half dozen places on the plain
sheet-iron doors. The street fight
ing was q nalt mile away, but the
modern infantry rife has long range,
and the chapel stands on ground ele-
waited somewhat above the scene of
the street battles.
A few Hungarian soldiers are quar-
tered in n building a hundred yards
away from the chapel. None of them
had any idea where the key to the
chapel was to be found. The Asso-
ciated Press representative finally
crawled through a small hole in the
wall which appeared to have been
made by a shell which failed to ex-
plode. Scattered bricks and mortar
lay on the floor inside.
The scene was depressing. In the
middle of the floor lay a box con-
tanning book, dust-covered and in dis
array. The high altar had been
showed back into a small anteroom.
The sacred vestments, some of them
torn and muddied, were strewn about
the floor and on the altar. A picture
of a saint, its protecting gass splinter
ed, lay face down. A bullet had found
its way into one of the crude mural
paintings. Mortar dust lay deep over
everything.

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 10
Without the twelve food minerals
wantonly destroyed by man no
vegetable or animal could exist
on this planet.
DR.. ]. Reynolds Green, Cambridge,
has demonstrated that even in the life
of the planet the minerals play many
parts and are necessary for the assimi-
lation Of the food of protoplasm.
Protoplasm is the soul and essence,
the vital, growth h-controlAng, life
maintaining material of the vegetable
and animal cell.
Pfeffer performed q number of ex-
periments in order to show the i'm
portance of mineral salts to the
growth of plants. which, unlike the
animal, possess the power to utilize
mineral food as 1t exists in the ground.
He made solution of water, cal
cium nitrate, potassium nitrate, mag
nesium sulphate, potassium acid phos-
phate. and potassium chloride. Then
he put buckwheat to grow in this
solution. He also made other solu-
tions. in which he omitted from the
mixture one or more of the minerals
of the normal solution in order to
determine what effect such omission
would have upon the development of
the plant.
Through these experiments he
proved that the plant, deprived of
any of the minerals mentioned, is af-
fected at once injuriously
He proved, for instance that in the
absence of iron the development of
chlorophyl did not take place. Chloro-
phyl is the green coloring matter of
the plant and corresponds with hemo-
globin, which is the red coloring mat
ter of the blood. With chlorophyl
and hemoglobin there could be no
vegetable or animal life.
He proved conclusively that in the
absence of iron faulty nutrition is at
once set up.
In the five jars illustrated here it
can be easily seen just how the
growth of the plant was affected by
depriving them of the food minerals
mentioned.
These food minerals OF plants can
be divided into four groups, each of
which serves a different purpose.
In the first group are found sulphur
and phosphorus. All analyses of pro-
teins. the fiber of meat, the albumen
of egg, the gluten of wheat, the
caseine of milk, show that sulphur is
an essential constituent of them. AS
proteins are Immediately utilized in
the construction of protoplasm, it can
be seen that sulphur is contained in
every living substance.
Phosphorus is found to be directly
associated with the nucleus and is al
ways present.
The second group comprises potas-
sium, magnesium, calcium, and iron,
all of which have been conclusively
demonstrated to be essential to the
development of the plant.
The third group consists of sodium,
silicon, manganese, chlorine, and
iodine.
In the fourth group is found fluor-
inc.
In plant life it has been shown that
potassium is connected with the con-
struction of carbohydrates (sugars
and starches), but in just what way
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-02-11

-, is not clearly known. 1t ocurs most
frequently in the organs in which the
formation and storage of sugars and
starches are most actively carried on,
such as In the leaves and tubers.
1t has been shown that magnesium
has distribution much like that of
potassium and that calcium Is essen
tial to the health of all green plants.
One of its functions which has been
clearly established Is that 1t is active
in neutralizing oXalic acid, n poison
elaborated in the nutritional process
of vegetables, and therefore finding its
way into animal life.
If we compare the influence of
potassium, sodium, and calcium on
the development and growth of plants
we tnd that the presence of potassium
leads to a development of stems, flow
ers, and fruits, or to what may be
regarded as the maturing of the plant,
while in the absence of sufficient
potassium and in the presence of
calcium and sodium the growth of the
leaves is more directly favored, but
the crop remains backward and inn
mature. The fruit does not develop.
1t has also been established that
the nitrogen so essential to the life of
animal and plant is combined with
the food minerals of the soil in the
form of nitric acid. The minerals are
thus taken up not only for their own
sake in the performing of other func-
tions in life's processes, but also for
the sake of the nitrogen which they
must carry to the plant. In other
words, they are nitrogen carriers as
we'll as oxygen and carbon carriers.
Oats mature less fully and COM
pletely in the absence of silica, thus
establishing evidence of it's aid in the
metabolism of that plant.
Until quite recently little was
known of manganese as a constituent
of many plants, but it has now been
determined that it exerts a powerful
influence on various oXidative pro-
cesses which are carried out by
somewhat widely spread engine
known as laccaSe.
A curious feature of these facts
stands forth when we consider that
many of the food minerals, even in
moderately diluted solutions, are ex-
tremely poisonous, yet when nature
finishes her mysterious work of ma
nipulating and combining them they
are not only not poisonous but actu-
ally benevolent in their effect upon
plant and animal.
Potassium is. in it's pure state, a
deadly poison, yet in the absence of
sufficient potassium, as we have
seen, the degree of development of
the plant is limited by such deficiency.
When the effects of such deficiency
are so we'll marked, even in the case
of the plant, is man not reckless in
the extreme when he permits the food
OF his children, through entirely un-
necessary and useless processes, to be
deprived not only of their potassium
salts but also of every one of the
other minerals which we are begin
ming to see in their true significance.
What effect upon the vigor of AM
erican childhood, considered apart
from the deaths every year of nearly
100000 children under ten years of
age, is eXerted by the removal of these
food minerals from our national diet?
We shall see.
