means ruin to the Individual and to
the. community. Amidst the accumu-
satipn OF the ordinary cares of life and
Its pleasures and the frequent extra

overwhelmed that he does not appear

aud 1t seems as if man everywhere in
/ thssse awful times is thus troubled and
deserves our kindest consideration.
Why Think of God7
a'he first suggestion is that God is
Wiist he Is. In the text he is represent
IA as having purpose and that it is i'm
possible change that purpose; every

e,ii God himself claims that his coun-
sci shall stand, and he is the first and
he Is the last, and besides him there is
aaeJtiler God. He asks of men that
they be still and know that he is God,
and he will be exalted in the earth. He
taxes up the islands of the sea as
4 very little thing. All nations before
him are as nothing and vanity, and he
stitch upon the circle of the earth
and the inhabitants thereof are as
grasshoppers. Paul chided the intel
Ikctual Athenians because they seemed
ID think God like unto gold and silver,
and Job said in ancient times that
luan is foolish who strives against God,

The proper thought of God will take
Away the despair that often comes to
men as they contemplate the world
about them. Never in the history Of
tH race were the affairs of men in
salch ruin as today. The world seems
alfame. Material things seem to be
a ssolying and higher things held dear
I'd man seem to be going down in a
Universal crash. Millions of men are
dying or are mangled in battle. Mil
gsens of women and children are starry
ing. and there is chaos everywhere, but
aver it all God rules In the dark mo-
fHents when President Lincoln was
stricken down by the assassin's bullet,
Congressman Garfield, afterwards pres
itient, said in New York, Clouds and
darkness are round about him, right

der was issued by Judge Hand in the
federal court today putting into
effect an injunction against Hearst's
International News Service, forbid
ding it to pirate Associated Press dis
: Watches prior to publication. On the
plea of the Associated Press to pre-

to issue an injunction. He withheld
action on the latter point upon agree
ment of counsel for Hearst to facili-
tate appeal to the United States cir

the Hearst attorneys Immediately
appealed from the first point on
which the injunction was issued. An
effort will be made to bring the ap-
peal to trial in May.

 The snowstorm was preceded by the coldest weather for 1917. the minimum temperature Sunday morn ing being 15 degrees above zero.

EMPIRE

Some famous folk tell few jokes -on themselves and others: Happen ings at the Paramount studios during the filming of Molly Entangled," an Irish photoplay starring Vivian Mar tin.
 Some time ago, before the Public" which is you and and Tom and Dick and Harry, began to get acquainted with the great folk of filmland and their ways, it used to be current opin- ion that they led lives of luxury and idleness, interspersed with signing checks and clipping coupons. Later, when it became known that they spend countless hours and energy up- on the making of each smallest scene, the contrary opinion was held.
 The truth of tie matter is how ever, that these great folk enjoy them selves quite as much and work just as hard as the ordinary man or woman. They have, though, the peculiar facul- ty of bringing poy to their work by making play of + For instance, during the filming of Molly Entang- led,' Vivian Martins latest Paramount photoplay which is featured today and tomorrow at the Empire theatre, they thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Even Harrison Ford, leading man for Miss Martin in this picture, was stricken with the Irish epidemic as he called it, and told one about an Irish farmer, a novice, who asked of Mike his neighbor "how long cows should be milked." Mike replied: 'The same as the short ones, be- gorra.' And later, during the senti- mental scenes, MT. Ford murmured, Sure 'tis great comfort to be alone, 1 specially when your sweet hearts wid ye."

WEST END.

The old and very wise proverb about Satan, and his habit of finding mischief for idle hands to do, is the basis for Madame Petrova's most re- cent Paramount picture, Exile" in which she will appear at the West End theatre tonight. The production was especially arranged for her by Charles B. Whitaker from the book off Wolf Wlyyards.
 Dealing with a little band of ex- patriated Americans in an Asiatic colony, and including besides it's thrilling and very dramatic love theme, an up-to-date romance of pol itics and romance, Exile" has fur nished Madame Petrova with one of the cleverest vehicles of her entire career. This is a Paramount photo play and was directed by Maurice Tourneur, the famous French di- rector.

ETIQUETTE

Never chew food with the mouth open, nor make any noises when eat ing.
 Mrs. K.-There are few general rules to follow in clearing the table between courses, if one wishes to have correct service. Do not remove the knives, forks and spoons from the dish before carrying them away, nev- CT set one dish upon another, but re- move them separately; take the pra,- ter or principal dish first and then then smaller serving dishes, two of the larger ones may be carried at a time-one in each hand-and the smaller ones can be collected on a tray. Before the dessert is served everything that does not belong to it should be removed from the table, and the crumbs should be brushed off. A brush is never used for this purpose; but folded napkin or sil- yer crumb knife may be used, and the crumbs are brushed into plate or small tray.
