Know Your Business,

In the American Magazine James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation, says:
 "Any one wishing to acquire compre- hensive knowledge of his business or of any specific subject must not try to store his mind with endless details about other things. For example, have tried to learn all could about the steel business in it's mining, manufac- turing, selling and transportation branches, but to enable me to carry business information in my head have not attempted to retain in my mind minute detailed data about poll tics or baseball.
 Absorb what to you is essential that is, rything pertaining to your field of endeavor Abolish from your mind nonessentia1, extraneous sub- jects. No human brain has cells enough to store up all the facts about all sub- jects under the sun. Don't clog your brain cells with impedimenta. Feed them only with vital material, with things that will enhance your useful ness in your sphere of activity by in- creasing and improving your stock of needful information"

Before that time the government sane tioned the sale of certain specimens. but when it was discovered how many of all the different varieties were in the possession of coin collectors an at tempt was made to conf1scate them wherever found, but this resulted in failure.
 A twenty dollar brass trial piece struck from dies of a twenty dollar gold piece at Denver mint was the first coin of any denomination to be made there. It was presented to the State Histor- ical Society of Colorado and at once took it's place among the many rare trial pieces and pattern coins which are nowadays highly prized by coin collectors.-Magazine of American His tory

The Tobacco Habit.

If man who uses tobacco will give it up for one day each week he will keep himself from becoming tobacco fend." This is the advice of well known doctor, who says that quite q number of men, including himself, have adopted this plan.
 By leaving off tobacco for one. day a week you give your system time to get rid of the effects of the drug" he said.
 You will then enjoy your tobacco far more, too, because you have become unaccustomed to the flavor, and 1t is therefore more enjoyable when you re- suThe smoking.
 The effect of tobacco is a general sedative action on the nervous system, which diminishes the power of taste and smell. That is why tea tasters sell dom or never smoke.
 Leave it off for day and the sense of taste recovers. Not only that, but leaving off tobacco for one day volunta. rily breaks the tobacco habit, exercises the self control and prevents one from becoming slave to the habit"

Again the British forces fighting in France have attacked German posi- tions at several points and been re- warded for their efforts by an aggre- gate gain of more than 1,150 yards. ae- cording to the latest British official communication.
 South of Armentieres the German line was penetrated deeply on a front of about $50 yards and southeast of Ypres on a front of about 800 yards. Numerous casualties were inflicted on the Germans at both places and pri- soners and guns were taken. The British casualties are said to have been slight Near Guedecourt in the Somme rector, the British also seized section of German trenches. and took prisoners.

THE JUNGLE CHILD"
 AT 0RPHEUM TONIGHT
Triangle Feature, Starring Dorothy Dalton, Plays
 One Night in Bisbee.

A myriad insects flying industrious ly about a gathering of explorers con stitute one of the unusual scenes in "The Jungle Child" which appears at the Orpheum today only, the Trian- gle drama by Monte NJ. Katterjohn in which Thomas H. Ince presents Dor othy Dalton and Howard Hickman as co-stars.
 The scene depicts Hickman and a company of fellow-explorers resting at their camp in the dense forests of Brazil. where the early part of the action is laid, and is said to be re- markable- for its realism. It was film ed in a thick growth far into Topan- go Canyon, adjacent to Inceville.
 What the insects are Director Wal ter Edwards does not know. He stout ly maintains they are neither flies nor mosquitoes, but ayers they bear a close resemblance to the deadly Tse- tse fly, which so-e scientists declare infest the jungles of South America as well as those of Africa.
 Edwards learned of their existence through a rancher who has been trav- ersing the road through Topango for years. So he took his company and went to the location" The insects, apparently frightened, hastily disap- peared. but returned when Hickman started to smoke his pipe Then Ed wards shot the scene.

.BLUEBIRD FEATURE
 TONIGHT AT EAGLE

T"ere is a simple and direct story told in The Measure of a Man" the Bluebird photoplay to be exhibited at the Eagle Theatre on today only, with J Warren Kerrigan and Louise lovely Dlaying the pricipal roles.
 A young man has been expelled from divinity school because of his evident unfittness to wear the cloth. He goes to a western lumber camp, and because of his clerical appear ance. is installed as the spiritually ad- visor of the rugged woodsmen. In- terest in the ensuing episodes will center in the forcefulness of the young mans administration of the Gospel-the physical punch" he put into his dailv transactions meant more than the oral points he made in his sermons. And the easiest job of all was to win the trusting heart who helDed him to conquer his own had habits and lead his neighbOrs in- to the better way This respectful and reverent treatment of the subject of religion will be one of the pleasing features of the story.

MINISTRIES READY
 FOR PARADE AND Z
 BIG PERFORMANCES
Best Amateur Show l Have Ever Seen," Says Al Detloff at Conclusion of Stage Re hearsal Yesterday.

"The hest amateur show I have ev- CT seen"
 This was the opinion expressed by
 Manager Al Detloff of the Orpheum theatre, after he had witnessed the stage rehearsal of the Y. NJ. C. A. minstrel jubilee in his theatre yester- day afternoon. The same opinion was voiced by every other person that was present and will undoubtedly be voiced by every one who goes to see
 the performance either Friday or Tuesday night. Only a few seats are
 left for the opening night and, from present indications. the second house will be sold out before Saturday night Reserved seat tickets for the jubilee can be secured at the Orpheum box office.
 Particular pains were taken in pre- pairing the performance to localiZe it as much as possible, and all of the gags" have some sort of local as pect In the minstrel part there will be about twelve song numbers, solos, trios, quartette and choruses, and each one has been rehearsed until  man missing a single note. The jokes, dances, marching and every thing else have been rehearsed with equal care.
 Several free features will be pre- sented by the minstrel men. The first, a regular old-time minstrel par ade will be staged on the streets Fri day. In full costume and with band at their head, the minstrel men and. in fact, every member of the olio acts will march around town to. show the public just what kind of a show they may expect. The free thriller. how ever, will be staged on top of the Or pheum theatre either Friday after moo nor evening by Physical Director Mac MacLaughlin. Mac will pile up an array of tables. chairs and bottles on the very edge of the Orpheum and do some daredevil feats on top of the pile. The event will be free attrac- tion of the kind that should draw a big crowd. Announcement of the time the stunt will be staged will be made in the Review tomorrow morn ing.
