the proclamations which Germany posted In
Belgium and France during the early period
OF her occupancy of those countries that
particular interest attaches 20 the pamphlet
which the George H. DOran Company. of
New York, has just issued under the title
of scraps Of Paper: German Proclama-
tions in Belgium and France" 1t contains
fac-simile reproductions OF sixteen posters
in which the Germans laid down the condi-

they occupied might live and IN which they
made announcements Of what they intended

among them IL the proclamation signed by
General Won Kissing announcing the execu-
tIon Of Edith Cavel The pamphlet is in
valuable as historical document and

ONE OF THE FUNNY FORTY.

We've all heard of the clown who reads Chaucer or Shakespeare or Browning during moments of leisure in the dressing room of the circus.
 Mostly, though, clowns are fairly ordinary chaps, some of them well educated, some just so-so; but all of them are very good to have for friends all of them with Sells-Floto Circus anyway, which comes to Pine Bluff tc exhibit Thursday, October 25.
 They make good friends, you know because they understand children pret, ty we'll, and, understanding children they understand human nature, and understanding human nature, they un- derstand you and me. Now, when we understand a chap we like him, as { rule, don't we? Hence, clowns like most people and are good friends naturally.
 But the clowns are human, very hu man and every day folks. Some o1 them do vaudeville in the winter. Two of them own cigar stores in cities One is druggist. Four manage pie ture show houses in the winter ant three go in advance of theatrical com panies. There are two who own "hon est-to- goodness" farms in the Middle West and there are three who live of flat rentals in Chicago. Oh, yes; clown ing is business, but it a human busi ness and clowns make good friends Adv.

BEST THEATRE.

Today-One of the most impress i've scenes ever produced on tho screen is the visualization of Hoff. Magdalene Brought Before Christi which will be shown in the Metro wonderplay starring Ethel Barry more, "he Lifted Veil,' which will be seen at the Best theatre today.
 The figures of the painting are seen to move and the whole inn ,pressive scene when the mob drags Mary iMagdalene before Christ, is acted before the spectator up to the moment when Christ shames the wo- mans captors with the words: Let him that is without sin among you cast the first stone"
 Gradually the mob IS seer to sllnk away, leaving the two principal fig ures together and then these dis solve again on the stained glass win dow.
 The experience has profound ef- feet on the life and thoughts of C1o- rinda Gildersleeve, the heroine. lnci- dentally, the scene furnishes an op- nDortunity for remarkable photogra- phy.

SAGE TEA DANDY

It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and Lustre to
 Hair.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau tifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get bottle of "Wyeth' s Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improv- ed by the addition of other ingredi- ents, are sold annually, says we'll known druggist here, because it dark ems the hair so naturally and evently that no one can tell it has been ap- plied
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have surprise await ing them, because after one or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks became luXuriantly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired. unattractive folks aren't wanted around. so get busy with Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound to night and you'll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youth ful appearance within few days.

The Associated Charities come to the rescue of George Taylor, whose home burned Thursday night
 George Taylor, negro, who lived at Fifteenth and Missouri streets was compelled to walk from his home leaving it in flames, managing only to save an old trunk of very little value.
 Taylor is known as very hard working negro, having worked for some time for the Standard Lumber company of this city. Several months ago Taylor was compelled to lay off working on account of rheumatism which confined him to his home for some time. He then resumed work at the Standard mill
 Before Taylor took sick he carried insurance on his household goods to the amount of $3O0.0O which would easily have replaced his loss, but during his sickness he got behind and let his insurance drop thus caus- ing him to call upon the Associated Charities for assistance, which was very gladly given.
 Taylor stated that if he was ever sick again, he would under no cir cumstances let his insurance get be- hind. Just think, for the small sum per year this would have saved this negro from humiliation, and many others as we'll.
