THE ISIS

The importance of being true to
ones self is the great lesson taught in
The Soul of a Magdalen, the Metro
Popular Play and Players production
starring Nine. Petrova, which will be
seen at the Isis theater today and
Thursday. Because she was not true
to her own highest nature Heloise
Broulette brought suffering and in
finite pain to those she loved and was
baffled in her efforts to aid them
In a remarkable way the story
shows that human beings are bound
to each other by an indissoluble tie
and that an injury to one is an in
jury to ALL 1t illustrates the force of
Shakespeare's immortal words,
This above ALL to thine own self be
true,
And it shall follow as the night the
day,
Thou canst not then be false to any
man..
Because Heloise Broulette was false
to herself in accepting the bounty Of
Leland Merton for the purpose of aid
ing those she loved, her sacrifice was
of no avail, breaking her mothers
heart and failing to save the life OF
her invalid brother

Bury Your Cabbage
And Help Win War,
Defense Board Says

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 2s.-
II you want to help the United
States win the war, here Is to-
days tip from the Ohio defense
council on how you can do it.
Its the old-fashioned method
OF 'burying' vegetables and other
oodstuffs-common enough ten
and fifteen years ago. but almost
forgotten now.
Here's how to store cabbage:
"DiE a trench about a foot
deep. Select sound plants and
lay them in, heads down. Then
dig a narrower and deeper trench
on each side of your cabbage row.
This provides drainage. Cover the
cabbage with thin layer of
straw and about twelve inches Of
dirt.
"A little freezing won't hurt
the cabbages, il they are allowed
to thaw out gradually. Cabbage
also can be kept nice and crisp
for winter use by trimming on
stubs and outer leaves, wrapping
closely in paper. packing in boxes
or barrels, and storing in cool
place cellar, for instance, that
has no furnace or is partitioned
on"

GERMAN DRIVE ON RIGA
coLLAPSES AS RUSSIANS
; MAKE BRILLIANT DEFENSE

PETRoGRAD. Aug. 26.-The Ger

on the Oginsky canal, about eleven
miles from Pinsk. has collapsed under
the brilliant defense OF the Russian
troops Terrific artillery lombard
ineut, which preceded the attack en-
abled the Germans to occupy some
OF the Russian advanced trenches,
but they were driven out again by
furious counter attacks.
Renewed activity on the Caucasian
front is indicated by the Russian Of
fetal statement. which continues silent
on the situation at Riga. The Turks
were routed at several points and
substantial advances gained. -..
The German offensive on the Riga
is regarded in Petrograd as having a
triple object-namely. the Influence
on the Finnish social democrats, short
ening Of the battle line, and, of
course. the moral effect Of the cap
ture OF Riga itself.
In spite Of the fact that fresh Ger
man divisions have been placed on
this front, there are no signs that
any OF these objectives will be attain
ed. The points where the Germans
have made gains were only lightly
held, and so far these advances are
rIerely due to voluntary retirement
OF the Russians to positions further
