BARA IN HEART

What is without question the hg-
 gest and most spectacular feature in
 which the ever-popular Theda Bara
 has yet been presented, is Heart and
 Sour", the picturization of Sir Rider
 IIaggard's well-known and justly
 famous novel of the Hawaiin Islands,
 Jess. This vehicle which heads the
 Fox bill today and tomorrow presents
 Miss Bara in aNtype of picture to
 which she has hitherto been a strang-

 lures that relied solely on dramatic value for effect. In Heart and Soul', however, she is supported, in addition to the powerful heartinterest plot of the piece. by Q stupendous and elabor- ate production, upon which money was lavished with absolutely no re- strictions. The resulting feature is magnificent dramatic, spectacular doubted orisis of her career. And it ia Q splendid tribute to the versatility of this talented artiste, that in this, her greatest triumph, she entirely for sakes the vampire character that has made her famous and poatrayss g sympthetic role, that of the efder sis- ter to whom Is entrusted by the dying mother, tho lifelong oare and protec- ton of her other daughter.

Sex antagonism Is an interesting phrase recently come into use. It means of course. the peculiar antag- onism which, because of their diffec- .ent viewpoints and interests and in- Atincts, exist between the two sexes, even simultaneously with love.
 As a mate to this phrase suggest "maid antagonism, ,'-the peculiar an- ta gonism which subsists between women and their domestic helpers.
 Surely you have noticed how many women seem almost to hate their girls and live in what is close to state of petty warfare with them. Their conversations with each other about them is usually one long string of fault finding.
 They Are As Critical As They Dare Be.
 Towards the maids themselves their manner is a combination of the for bearance imposed by the fear that if they lose one they will get something worse. plus as much criticism as they dare to give.
 Some women nag their maids just as they do their husbands--only . lit- tie more circumspectly because maid can ire up her job.
 Of course with the average maid there is plenty of room for improve ment but this fretful habit of picking on them is not the way to inspire it..

SHOULD CANDLE YOUR EGGS
An Agricultural College Expert Says
Those Intended for Private
Trade Should Be Tested.

That eggs intended for private trade
should be tested or candled for quail.
ity is the assertion of w. A. Lippin.
cott, professor of poultry husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural Col.
lege.
with this in mind some sort of in
expensive Gambling device should be
had," said Professor Lippincott. 1.-The
simplest kind Of tester is made from
piece of wrapping paper IL by "a
inches, rolled to form a tube IL inches
long, To inspect the egg the tube is
placed to the eye and then the egg
with the large end uppermost is so
placed that the sunlight will strike it.
Many times a dark room can be
had but not the sunlight An ordinary
shoe box and bedroom lamp will be
just the thing. A hole is made in the
top of the box and one at the bottom
for the free circulation Of air about
the lamp. In front of the lamp flame
hole the size of a quarter is made.
This Gambling device is efficient and
will in most cases meet the needs on
the farm.
when electric lighting service is
available and a great many eggs are
to be candled, a round cylinder eight
inches high and four inches in diam
eter, with two holes in front and one
small one in the bottom, is attached
to a large "T" extending about 18
inches from the wall. The lamp cord
is dropped down the perpendicular
pipe to which the cylinder is at
tached. A 60-candlepower lamp is
used to give the best results. With
this device four eggs may be handled
at time by an experienced GAMBLER
"a fresh egg has pinkish tinge,
An egg that has dark spot the size
of dime on the yollI, shows that in
cubation has taken place and the egg
is no longer fit for food under ordi-
nary circumstances. In fact any eggs
that do not show a normal color
should be withheld from the market
basket. The best way to get acquaint-
ed with the various kinds of egg con-
tents is to break them out into dish
and study the abnormal conditions"

The Peoples Physique.

Some consideration should be given
to the effect that the change In loco
motion will make upon the physique OF
the people; for even the farmers are
now using the automobile, and the
horse is used for little but draft pur-
poses. VIII not the race become lax

Do Not Lend Your keys.

If you happen to be walking along
the street and someone asks you to
let him have your bunch of keys for
moment, don't do 1t. They will tell
you that they have forgotten their own
keys and they want to try your key
to get into their home. 1t is fraud.
Someone we know did 1t the other
day. The thief actually took the i'm
preston in wax of the key. Then he
got key made. Then he robbed the
apartment. 1t sounds strange, but, like
all things that are true, 1t Is strange.

WOULD HELP THE LITIGANTS
Judge RuppenthaI of Russell County
Urges More Flexible System
of Court Procedure.

]. c. Ruppenthal, Judge of the dis
trict court of Russell county, would
abolish all the probate courts and JUS
tees of the peace, giving all of this
work to the district courts and then
would change the district courts so
judges could be transferred from one
to the other and equalize the work
He also would permit court to be held
any place in county where it would
save time and expense to litigants in
the county
at should be sufficient if every liti-
CANT could find one court of general
jurisdiction open always for the pro-
lection and enforcement of rights, the
prevention and redress of wrongs and
the punishment of public offenses,"
wrote Judge Ruppenthal. Instead,
we have one supreme court with seven
justices, "a district courts with 38
judges, los probate and juvenile
courts, 5000 or more justices Of the
peace, hundreds of police courts, and
also quite a number of city courts
with one judge each. The supreme
court unquestionably is needed in its
present size and form for appeals.
But no one can contemplate seri-
ously without dismay if he wants JUS

THE SPIRITOF OUR
FIRST WARTIME
CHRISTMAS

Next come the packages for the men who
are still in this country, in camps or on ships.
Needles are flying and sewing machines are
whizzing from the Atlantic to the Pacific so
that not one man will be without a Christmas
remembrance. Santa Claus will leave no
stocking empty if the women Of this country
can help it.
Ones own boys come first, of course, and
never in all their civilian years dd those spoiled
darlings ever have one-half the thought and
care given to their Christmas gifts which are
being given to those which they will receive
on this their first War Christmas
The various war relief societies have or
ganized for Christmas giving, each looking
after so many companies in such or such
camp. The Stage Womens War Relief will
take good care of its own men, the actors who
are with the coors-and there are good
many; the Militia of Mercy is taking care of
its own; the Rainbow Division is looking out
for Camp Mills, and so it goes.
But this is only very small part of the
Christmas activities. The home entertaining
that has been planned is the most astonishing
of all. 1t will be difficult to find home where
circumstances permit in which some soldier
or sailor will not be entertained on Christmas
Day. This seems to be one of the most popu-
lar forms Of Christmas giving, and it certain
" is one that will be most sincerely appre-
cated by boys who are far from their own
homes. In some homes the boys will be in
vited only for dinner and the Christmas tree
which follows, but in others the house will be
open all day to any man in uniform.

oders and sailors and flying men, in camps
nd training ships here and in camps and
trenches "over there"
The Christmas gifts for overseas were sent
r several weeks ago, hundreds Of big pack
NJ cases crammed to their lids with the sort
Gifts that the men really want-knitted
-ings, comfort kits, books, gum, games and
on.
And how everybody worked to get them
oady in time for the official date Of ship
ent! Can you imagine the thought and the
ye that went into those packages? There
ere hundreds of little things that appar-
.ntly meant no special thought or labor,
which, if you inquired about them, you would
find were contributed by some one who had
not the money to spend for other gifts and
so had put an amazing amount of care and
time into the making Of these,
An instance of this were the one thousand
little mirrors, one of which went into each Of
the thousand comfort kits which were sent to
the hospitals on the other side by the British
War Relief Association. Those thousand little
mirrors were the contribution of young girl
whose brother works in o mirror factOrys
Every night he brought home bits Of glass
which had been cut from the mirrors in the

partout as her Christmas gift to the wounded
soldiers. And this is only one case that hap
pened to come under my notice. If some one
could write the history of the various articles

would be mighty interesting reading.
Well, the overseas gifts are off, and we hope
and pray that they will reach their destination
safely. Don't let's entertain the thought for a

What We Think of "Ow Boys
Bv NANCY FITZHIJCu RIcury

THEY were driving up Eighth Avenue in
a hacka rickety old hack drawn by
an even more rickety old horse Even
the ancient driver, whose ruddy face was
scanned with tiny, crooked wrinkles, had seen
better days. But there was an air about the
little old lady and the erect old man in the back
seat that demanded the close attention of the
girl on the corner waiting for her car. 1t was
an air of pride, and the girl suddenly thought
that this ride was something rare with them
an event in their lives.
Immediately she saw why. Sitting opposite
them in the middle of the seat facing them.
was boy in khaki. He was the only occupant
Of the carriage who was taking the ride in a
matter-of-fact way. He was gazing interested
ly at the tawdry little shops on the opposite
side of the street, which explained why the
girl had not noticed him at all at first.
Suddenly the little old woman turned and
caught the eye of the girl. Her eyes GIFTED
with pride, and she held her head a tiny bit
higher. With a swift look at the khaki-clad
figure facing her, to make sure that he did not
see, she delved into the depths of little hand
bag she carried and drew out something
crumped up inside her closed hand. She
reached her hand out back Of her and opened
it, letting the crumpled thing futter out in the
breeze. Ii was a service flag, in whose white
centre a single big blue star stood forth.
And the little old lady turned her mead
proudly TO make sure that the girl had seen
before the carriage turned and rolled out Of
sight around the corner.

Some are on torn bits of paper some on heavy
