ISIS PROGRAM FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

The story of 1.-THE Hero of Subma-
rine d." the five-reel Vitagraph pro-
duction to be shown at the Isis thea
ire Friday and Saturday, follows:
Lieutenant Commander Cotton, U. S.
N, is in love with Caroline Austen, the
daughter of the Hon. ]. F. Austen, a
man high in the political counsels of
the country Cotton has a rival, Jas.
Archer newspaper man, unscrupul-
Gus and secretly in the service of a
foreign country. The latter is endeav-
oring to obtain valuable government
secrets
Cotton and McMasters, superintend-
ent of the Naval academy, are called
upon to exercise undue influence in
favor of Gilman, Carolines brother,
who has neglected his studies as a
naval cadet. The young man is in
love with McMasters daughter.
Finding his political influence of lit
weight with the two naval men, Arch
er starts a row and has Cotton and
McMasters Inundated by placing them
in charge of GOLFERS.
Gilman, failing to pass his exams,
enlists in the navy as an apprentice,
starting from the foot of the ladder
and working his way up through sheer
merit.
The war game is announced, at
which the various American battle
ships will be seen in maneuvers. The
ambassador selects this opportunity to
plant mines in the path of the incom-
ing vessels in an attempt to blom
them up. Details of the plan are &C
cidentally learned from Archer by
Caroline, and with no time to be lost,
she hastens to her sweetheart. Cotton
now in command of the submarine
'flotilla and Gilman now in his COM
mand put forth all speed to reach the
| squadron and warn them. They are
too late for that, however, so Cotton,
knowing that the mines are to be ex-
ploded from a merchant ship in the
harbor, permits himself to be shot
through a torpedo tube in order to
swim to this ship. While the con-
spirators are watching the approach
ing squadron Cotton boards the YES
Sel, strikes down the man in charge of
the electric switch and himself ex-
plodes the mines before the American
.battleships reach them. The terrific
explosion attracts the attention of the
naval afficers so that when the con-
spirators try to subdue Cotton, aid
reaches him. Through his heroic work,
in saving the fleet, Gilman is reap
pointed to the academy and Cotton
gets as his reward the hand of Caro-
line.
In addition to 1.-THE Hero Of Subma-
rine d." Frank Danields comedy
will be shown Friday and Saturday.

Pjtchino . x.mo Tent.

The spot where your tent is to stand should be open. Have it as close to the woods as you wish, but so that the sun will shine on your tent. Sunlight is the healthiest thing in the world. It is the best disinfectant. If you pitch your tent under the thick trees there will always be an unhealthy dampness, and mosquitoes will flock in. Then, too, in thunderstorms there is less dan- ger in the open than under trees. The all important reason, however, for pitching your tent in the open is the matter of health.
 Do not put up the tent in a hollow. Water will lodge under 1t with the first shower. Set it on little knoll. All this holds good. whether you use an A tent, wall tent, lean to or any other sort of shelter. Once the tent is up in place dig drain around it exactly un- der the edge of the canvas, so that all the water will run off the tent into this drain and be carried away. = Peter Johnson in St. Nicholas.

Arsenic In the Hair.

New light has been thrown on the le- gal side of arsenic poisoning. It has been found that arsenic compounds are absorbed by the hair of living persons. though not absorbed after death. In the hair of man arsenic has been known to reach concentration of one to five parts in 100000. The deposit takes place in the hair after it has been ab- sorbed by the abdominal organs-liver and kidneys in particular. Therefore, in case of acute, quick poisoning, a chemical analysis. of the hair would show no arsenic, while 1t would be found in the liver and kidneys. On the other hand, if slow arsen- ic poisoning was suspected, analysis would show arsenic in the hair. but not in the liver and kidneys, and it could safely be assumed that the poi soning was not recent The legal value of such evidence is apparent-Scien- tific American.

When Editor, wer, poetor..

Keene's Bath Journal was one of the oldest weekly newspapers in the prov iuees. Known as the Bath Journal, 1t was founded in 1742 by Thomas Rod deley, whose portrait in wig and ruff fes, by Hoare, forms a picturesque re- hinder of the period. His daughter married John Keene, the journal from this union passing on to and through succession of Keenes; hence its title Keene's Bath Journal. N AS was the custom in bygone days patent medicines were sold in provin- cial newspaper offices, and the drawers in which the pills and medicines were kept at the Journal office were there until tha paper suspended. It was nothing unusual for the editor in the throes of writing his editorials to have to step down from his seat to serve box of pills.
 The pages of the Journal were for a long period largely taken up by ad yertisements of various .cure alls."- Leodon Times.

 10. Of no less importance for agri- culture and for the national develop ment is the Federal Aid Road Act. This measure will conduce to the es- tabiishment of more effective highway machinery in each State, strongly in- f1uence the development of good road building along right lines, stimulate larger production and better market ing, promote fuller and more attrac- tive rural life, add greatly to the con- venience and economic welfare of all the people and strengthen the nation al foundations. The act embodfes sound principles of road legislation and will not only safeguard the expen- allure of the funds arising under the act, but will also result in the more efficient use of the large additional sums made available by States and To- calities.
 II. The Federal Reserve Act bene- fits the farmer, as 1t does all the oth- CT people of the nation, by guarantee ing better banking, safeguarding the credit structure of the country, and preventing panics. It takes particu- lar note of the special means of the farmer by making larger, provision for loans through national banks on farm mortgages and by giving farm paper a maturity period of six months.
 12 It was essential. however, that banking machinery be devised which would reach intimately into the rural districts. that it should operate on terms suited to the farmers needs, and should be under sympathetic manage ment. The need was for machinery which would introduce business meth ods into farm finance, bring order out of chaos, reduce the cost of handling farm loans, place upon the market mortgages which would be safe in- vestment for private funds, attract in to agricultural operations a fair share of the capital of the nation, and lead to a reduction of interest. These needs and these ideals have been met by the enactment of the Federal Farm Loan act
 am glad to have had an opportun- ity to take part in the execution of this large program. which I believe will result in making agriculture more profitable and country life more com fortable and attractive, and. therefore, insure the retention in rural districts of an efficient and contented popula- ton.

Psrsian Words NaturaIized.

Regarding the Persian language, we all have few words from that source in our vocabularies, although we may not be aware of our indebtedness. There are about a dozen words in the English dictionary which trace to Per sia, the most common being perhaps orange" (although this was thought by some to be derived from the Latin "ausum'-gold). Sash" me4ping a ribbon or band (the sash of a win dow is the Latin ''capsa'D. shawl and "taffeta' are other Persian words which have become thoroughly ac- climatized, as have 'chess." caravan lilac" ''dervish" and 'lac," while emerald" and indigo" azure. bazaar" "jackal." musk" para dise' and "scimitar" have also been traced to the same source.
