GUN MAN HART AT
 LYCEUM TODAY

Everybody's favorite, William S. Hart, will be the attraction at the Lyceum today and tomorrow. To handle a gun, and do so without being melodramatic is an art, and William Excels in this particular line. But this feature is more than a typical Hart picture. It deals with the ar rogance of gold miner in the western territory, and is said to be the most elaborately staged western ever at- tempted.
 There will be another O. Henry story on the same program, which is a feature in itself. A Triangle comedy and the latest Pathe Weekly will com plete the program.
 Do not make any appointments for Monday or Tuesday. Bessie Barris- cale will be seen at the Lyceum in a feature dealing with the Poor Whites", entitled "Baubs of Blue Ridge."

patrons. Blackwell has a dual role in the production, and both of the character he portrays will appeal to all lovers of the unusual. In one of the characters he appears as an east erner who goes west to make his for tune. In the other he portrays the customers half brother, a bold bad westerner who holds up trains and relieves men and women of their watches, coin and jewelry. While pursuing this vocation, the westerner holds up and robs the train on which the easterner's sweetheart is coming west As the half brothers look exactly alike, the young girl naturally thinks that the robber is her lover and from this situation ensues num- Der of original complications which are finally unravelled in a surprising, smashing climax that will lift any audience from the seats in enthusi- astic appreciation. It is picture of thrilling surprises and splendidly staged.
 The fifth episode of the most thrill ing and compelling serial, The Fatal Ring," which will also be shown to- day and tomorrow, out-classes any of the previous installments for excite ment and speed.
 A funny Vftagraph comedy, and the latest Pathe News will also be on the program.

FEMALE WIRE WALKER BORN IN CIRCUS TENT

Born in a circus dressing tent on the Continent just 19 summers ago, Miss Rose Eldridge who will be seen here Monday August IS, with R. T. Richards Supreme Show of the World, has lived her life among the people of the white tops. Her sensa- tinal wire walking act declared by critics throughout Europe and Ameri- ca to be the most daring exhibition of it's kind, is added proof that hered- ity plays a paramount part in the development of circus performers. Miss Eldridge's father, Richard Eldrige was the most famous con- tinental rider of his day and her mother, who had been schood teacher in a small English town had eloped with him and was travelling with the circus as. a wardrobe mis- tress when Rose was born. From infancy she was trained as a wire walker, and when she reached her tenth year she appeared with her father in an act that made all Europe gasp. Six years later her fame had spread to the United States and the European agents of the big circuses here made offers of large sums of money to induce her to cross the At lantic and exhibit with them. Noth- ing could induce her to leave Europe until war conditions closed all of the big circuses. The she was booked by R. T. Richards who was travelling abroad in search of acts for the Su- preme Show of the World. This is positively her first appearance in America.
 There will be a free street parade starting from the grounds at 10 o'clock in the morning, followed by an afternoon performance of the big show at 2 o'clock and an evening performance at 8 o'clock. The en- frances will be opened one hour earlier to permit of a visit to the mana gerie.

PRICE OF PRIDE"

"The Price of Pride," the big, virile World picture which heads the Fox program for today and tomorrow, is a thriller from the word "go." There are intense situations in the midst of high society, train robberies by western bandits, and the most excit- ing and original courtroom scene ever conceived, in which a father IS called upon to settle judgment for murder upon one of his twin sons, against both of whom only circum

 We walked briskly down the road to the house we had finally bought after much discussion and not little heartburning on my part because of the utter indifference to my wishes concerning the home which Dicky had displayed. Robert Savarin grew en- Enthusiastically admiring, as I knew he would, over the artistic possibilities of the old place, but after a little he fell strangely reticent again.

 Tt isn't the place." he answered.
 Then what Is it?" I persisted.
 T don't think you will like my an- sswer." he said with a covert rebuke of my insistence. Y did not mean to speak of it at all, but you seem really to wish my opinion. Tell me, is your purchase irrevocably made?"
 "Yes. Why?''
 "Only that in my opinion 1t Is very unwise to buy property just now when we are so near war;"
 You really think we shall be dragged into it?"
 T am sure of it," he returned with a decision curious in a man so gentle. Sometimes you know a person out of the world sees things more clearly than do those close to the heart of things. Now this Is March, am sure that Inside of a month we too shall be involved in this awful war;

Whose Mysterious Voice on the
 ~- Telephone?
 A chill like the grasp of cold fingers clutched my heart when Robert Sav- arin said solemny there was but one thing he could do for Mrs. Underwood. What he meant, I did not know, did not dare to ask, did not want to ask.
 Indeed, pushed away from me the veriest breath of suspicion as to his meaning which lay beneath my con- sciousness. It was too terrible for me even to contemplate and I scored my self roundly for indulging in such a far fetched conclusion.
 MT. Savarin himself changed his de- meanor completely after his utterance of his VOW, for such was the nature of the solemn words he had said con- corning Lillian.
 Come" he said. holding out his hand to help me down from the bridge where I had sat during his recital of his early love for Lillian Underwood, you must be nearly frozen. Now, it is your turn to talk about yourself. have discussed my troubles long enough.

 saw that any further talk about Lillian would be painful to him, and caught his cue promptly.
 Our new home," I said enthusios- tically, and then at his puzzler look, "didn't Dicky tell you that we have bought a new home. but not a new house by any means? AS soon as 1t has been redecorated we're going to | move. Don't you want to go down and look at 1t? It isn't so very far from here."

4. Avoid cleaning powders on the

are invisible to the naked eye but do
nevertheless make the roughness
sufficient to catch grease. Wipe off
the enamel every day with a clean rag

MAKE USE OF OUR CORN MEAL.

Nh. Hoover Points Out That There is
-Four Times as Much Corn as Wheat
Grown in This Country, and That is
is Cheaper.
At the present time IL pounds Of
corn meal sells for Is cents and an
equal weight of wheat for 80 cents.
One pound of corn meal has 1,72S cal
Dries of digestible nutrients, and
wheat flour has 1908 calories, accord
Ing to our Government figures.
Thus for one dollar one car buy
7,64S calories in corn meal, and
a6,040 calories in wheat-a difference
of 9,608 calories.
Considering the fact that the ma
Sority of Southern farmers buy their
flour and raise their corn, it would
seem that to use the corn is decidedly
better business.
when 1 can sell corn at 1920 a
bushel it pays me to buy white
-four" remarked a farmer lately.
There are Sc pounds of corn in q
bushel. He therefore sells his corn
for a little less than four cents a
pound. and pays sever and a half
cents a pound for wheat. Corn meal
runs 4S pounds to a bushe1, and at So
for IS pounds of meal it is bought
back at six and a fourth cents,-a dis
tinct loss.
More than this, there is the pa
triotism of the thing; this leaving the
wheat to be sent to our boys in the
trenches. Even if there are those
who do not like corn meal, there is
surely compensation in eating IL
anyway and feeling like a heroine

still doing her bit in helping to wiz

HOW TO AVOID DISEASES
OF THE KIDNEYS.

Naturally, the kidneys working all
the time and pouring out. as they do
every day, from three to four points of
liquid waste called urine, are sub
jected to numerous diseases and dis
turbances. One of the common
causes of these is failure to keep the
skin thoroughly clean and healthy, as
perspiration is of somewhat the same
character as the urine; and if it be
checked. it throws on extra amount
OF work upon the kidneys.
Another most important thing to
keep the kidneys working well is to
drink plenty of water, at least six or
eight glasses a day ar we'll as to eat
plenty Of fresh green vegetables and
fresh fruits, which are 80 per cent
water. Remember, We 7 a walking
