YES-IT IS POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is a tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail in other cases.
The darting pains, lame muscles or
stifened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and so
many thousands have been relieved by
the blood-enriching oil.food in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give it a
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion acts as
apoweful blood-puriher by increasing
the red corpuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry off the acids which
cause the trouble.
Try SCOTS Emulsion. II cannot harm.
II has helped thousands and may be ex-
actly what you need. No Alcohol.

Films to Show Actual Condition
OF Army and Navy and Coast
Fortifications.
NO DRAMA FEATURE USED
Prominent Men and Women to
Cooperate With organiza-
ton Throughout Country.

The American Defense League has
adopted the motion n'cture as It's
principal form OF publicity. AMI Is
now engsged upon the production Of
n Am. America Unprepared. which
Is to be pure propaganda.
No attempt is to be made TO weave
story into the production. The
idea Is to give comprehensive view
OF the resources of the United States
with regard to the army and navy.
The total unpreparedness of this
country Tor defense of any kind Is
shown. and a. series OF subttfles ex-
plain the pictures.
1t Is the intention of the league 10
send the pictures throughout the
country. with lecturers to further
explain the need of preparedness.
The league members state that they
have the funds and the enthusiasm
to conduct a nationwide campaign
on their own account. and that they
will take up the matter Irrespective
of what else Is being done.
They announce. however. that they
will cooperate with organizations
and individuals in the various cities
of the corntTy wherever such CO.
operation will benefit the prepared
ness campaign.
The first showing of the films took
place recently In New York. at a
meeting Of the league. Several
changes were suggested. and these
will be made before the pictures are
sent out. The officers and commit
tee of the league In charge of the
motion picture part of the campaign
include:
David Jayne Hill. ex-ambassador
to Germany: Perry Belmont. OF the
Navy League; Charles J. Bonaparte.
former Attornev General: John Grier

versity Henry Il. JOY. president
Packard Motor Car COMPANY. Hud-
son Maxim. member naval advisory
board; William r., McCombS. OF Nc
Combs & Ryan: Truman II. New
berry. and Theodore Roosevelt.
Sometimes there IL quite a bit of
solid food for thought IN a joke,
and Franklin p. Adams. the joke
smith of the New York Tribune,
appears to have printed morsel for
film men In two paragraphs telling
the real name Of Theda Bara.
When Miss Bara first appeared In
film announcement was grandilo-
quently made that she was direct
from the Comedie Francaise, and
was n native OF Egypt. In the an
swers to queries columns of the New
York Times recently the announce
ment to this effect was repeated.
Mr.. Adams uses that In his column
of humor. and beside II prints par
agraph from recent issue OF the
Delineator which states:
"A fabulous story to the effect that
her parents were a French actress
and a Spanish sculptor, and that she
was born In "A glorious Arabian night,
has been woven to spread the illus
ion OF an erotic temperament.
Yet actually she comes from Gin
