idle Wives" Comes to
Ye Liberty Theatre

"Idle Wives" the remarkable dra-
ma which has had the widest popular
ity, has done much to increase the ever
growing reputation of Lois Weber. In
all her productions there is an element
OF novelty, and this one is no exception
to the rule. There are no less than four
distinct stories running at the same
time. Yet SO mastery is the direction
that the theme is never for a moment
confused. The play is acted by an ex
ceptional east with the SmaIleys at the
head of it. They are unique in that
their reputation along the three lines
of authorship, acting and directing, is
equally great. Mr. Smalley plays the
husband who thinks that his wife
should be satisfied with an idle life,
and Lois Weber plays the wife, who
convinces him of his need of her,
when she leaves him to return to the
settlement work in which she is really
useful
1t would be unfair to ignore the work
of Mary MacLaren in this picture. AS
the headstrong girl, who, needless of
the warnings Of her family, insists upon
trusting her own judgment in the Sc
lection of her friends, she aecomplishes
some of the best work which has been
seen on the screen in years. Her story
is a sad one, a real tragedy, but the
Smalleys have known how to make the
picture so appealing, and so varied,
that there is no danger of its suffering
in popularity because one of the themes
is tragic The girl, Molly Shane, has a
terrible awakening, and suffers a heart
rendering experience, but her story
ends with the glimmcr Of hope. With
wonderful art, the characters, at the
beginning so divergent, are brought to-
gether in the end. The moment when
Molly Shane, about to become mother,
and exhausted by days of wandering,
breaks into the door Of the settlement
house, and falls at the feet of Lois
Weber, is one of the finest dramatic
moments which either the legitimate
drama or the screen has ever known. 1t
grips the most hardened picture goer
by the throat.
When the picture was shown at the
Maxine Elliott theatre in New York
the critics of the metropolitan dailies
accorded it reception seldom given to
any film. Almost without exception, the
leading papers, despite the pressing in

Greens Contain Much
Real Food Value

Leaves and stalks commonly cooked
as green's furnish much valuable miner
al matter and organic acids for use in
the body Iron is common constituent
and other minerals, such as calcium and
phosphorus, which are necessary for the
building of bone, are present. The large
amount of water present in the green's
renders them valuable for flushing out
the system. Then these bulky foods de-
crease intestinal putrefaction which
modern science has found to be one of
the causes of the anemic condition so
often found in women and growing
children. While meat and eggs always
form acids in the body, vegetables form
alkaline substance and experiments go
to show that it is essential to good
health that the diet furnish enough al
kali Or base forming elements to neu
traize the mineral acids formed in met
abolism. The chief uses Of greens are;
To add variety to the diet and stimu
late the appetite; to furnish building
material for growing children ana tonies
for all; and to prevent scurvy. A wide
variety of plants may be used in this
way, many are wild, some are cultivated
and others are byproducts.
OF Wild green's, the dandelion is very
popular. 1t is cut before the flower
bud has been expanded and the root
discarded. Mil. weed cut when less
than six inches high, before its leaves
have fairly un'foldcd from the stalk, is
considered almost equal to asparagus.
Sour sorrel may be added to soups or
salads and the cultivated varieties are

used as greens. Chicory furnishes ex-
cellcnt greens. Harsh marigold is pre-
pared like spinach, Purslane appeafs
to have cultivated in remote ages as a
pot herb and to have been brought
from the east to Europe as salad plant
1t is best just before it blossoms and
should be used without the roots Wild
plants should not be tried unless one is
sure the plant is not poisonous.
OF the cultivated plants used for
green's, spinach is a favorite. Beet tops,
when young and tender, make delicious
green's. Swiss chard makes good greeps
coming at the end of the spinach season.
Use the leaf part for green's and the
midrib like asparagus. Kale, turnips,
and mustard are also used.
Greens should be carefully looked over
to remove weeds and dead leaves. Wash
in a large quantity of water several
times to prevent all insects and sand
from remaining. After washing enough
water adheres to the leaves to furnish
sufficient moisture for cooking. Greens
should be cooked until the cellulose or
woody fibre, is tender There should
be very little liquid when they have
finished cooking. If there is more liq-
uid after cooking than necessary add it
to the soup stock as the water contains
some valuable minerals Cook green's
with salt pork or bacon to flavor. Pour
melted butter with salt and pepper over
them just before serving. Chop greens
fine and add to a sauce made of / tab
lespoon flour, tablespoons butter, IA
| cup vinegar, or some lemon juice, Hard
cooked egg may also be added. Greens
may be canned as other vegetables
