A GREAT PLAY
EQUALIZATION" IL THE BILL AT
THE IMPERIAL THEATER
TONIGHT.

Civilization" the startling cinema
production that to the Impe-
rial theater tonight, has been pro-
claimed by press. pulpit and educat-
ors to be the most stupendous pro-
duction ever shown. Undoubtedly
the present war has given a keen in
terest TO the spectacle.
The picture is an allegorical story
of war that has laughed at the
worlds Haunting boast of a higher
progress. 1t pictures the awfulness
of a world made with the bloodlust
of conquest. 1t shows how half the
manhood Of a world may be swept,
by the terrific death dealing machin-
cry of modern war, from the peace
full valleys into the scarlet trails.
The great production that cost
$1,000. 100000 was V e a year in the
making. Forty thousand people and
whole regiments of cavalry and artil-
lery were used making the stipend
Gus n Real cities were built
and destroyed. A squadron of battle
aeroplanes were used in the highest
of areal encounters. The most thrill
ling and all inspiring naval battles
ever conceived were staged with the
aid and cooperation of the United
States navy. There is shown one
naval battle alone in which $4,000
i'm ammunition was fired at the enc
my's fleet of converted battle ships,
which took three months to construct
and prepare. Every contrivance and
death dealing device known to mo-
dern science of war are used. A pas
senger steamer loaded with wo-
men and children is sunk by a sub
marine in full view of the audience.
If the awful trail of battle stretches
wildly through the SCIENCES of the
narrative, it is in the hope that a
shocked and appalled, world may
henceforth devote itself more earn
estly to the cause of peace. Through
out and beyond the great scenes OF
conflict there is developed a wonder
full love story, for it is the story of
Gods love of humanity. The picture
is filled with cence of vivid con-
tract, and there are moments in
which the scenes are so beautiful
that one of Chicago's greatest NOV
ing picture critics was impelled to
call the production "A Picture in
Poems

Hot Water Bottle
as Big as a Wash Tub

In old Japan the weather gets very cold
at times. Houses made of rice paper, while
very nice from an artistic standpoint are not
much of a success i'm a Japanese blizzard.
Charcoal, the popular fuel of the island, can
not be used to any great extent in these air
tight houses on account of the poisonous
gasses generated. Therefore, every family
that can afford it has a large rubber water
bottle about the size of a wash tub, which is
filled with hot water at bedtime and placed
i'm the center of the room. Around this bot
tle-like the spokes of a wheel-lie the men,
bers of the family, with their feet resting on
the center of attraction. Over the whole af-
fair is an enormous circular quilt or blanket
which reminds you of the pancakes mother
used to make" Now a hot water bottle that
will withstand the kicks of the entire family
must be made of the right kind of stuff. The
material that goes into these large hot water
bottles made for the Japanese is the very
same material that goes into the smaller bot
ties sold by us, and are the only kline we show
you when you ask to see the 'best." We nave
sold a lot of rubber goods i'm our time, but the
bottles mentioned i'm this advertisement come
nearer to perfection than any we have seen
so far. If you have had trouble with rubber
goods i'm the past try one of our guaranteed
brands.
