The Love That Lives, as presented
in the photoplay by Pauline FIR derrick

will not be soon forgotten. 1t is a
wonderful narrative of bother de-
votion and sacrifice for the son to
whom she wishes to give all the ad-
vantages of education and a fair start
on life's highway. Pauline Freder-

we'll known. but never before. how
ever gorgeous settings and gowns OF
her former productions have been. has
she shone with such power as in the
present picture, in which she doffs
her finery to become merely Molly the
scrubwoman.

THEATRICAL
CABARET PATRONS:
MUST PAY TAXES.

Announcing decision as to the
amount of tax to be levied against re-
freshments purchased at cabaret
where no regular admission fee is
charged, cable received by Acting
Collector OF Revenue Ralph s.. John
stone clears up a number Of questions
that have arisen On this Meter
Twenty per cent Of the amount paid
for refreshments at such places will
hereafter be computed as the cost of
admission in fixing the amount to be
paid. OF the admission price thus
fixed 10 per cent will be taken as the
tax to be collected from patrons.
For example, if bill for refresh
ments amounted to two dollars 20 per
cent of this or 40 cents would be re-
garded as the admission price. Ten
PEI cent of 40 cents or four cents
would then be levied as the tax to be
paid by the patron.
The ruling has made the tax effect
i've Dec. 5. 1t reads as follows:
EFFECTIVE fifth instant admission to
cabarets will be twenty per cent paid
for refreshments, service, etc. Tax Of
one cent on each ten cents or fraction
thereof of such percentage must be
collected"

Everyone should drink hot water

To feel as fine as the proverbial fid

comes rancid. it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver unc1eanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know it's function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent ca1omel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
1t accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or we'll.
should drink each morning before
breakfast, glass OF hot water with
a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons. sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
cannot salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
Is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
and any pharmacist will sell you a
quarter pound. which is sufficient for
a demonstration Of how hot water and
limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates
and freshens the liver, keeping YOU

phases of the life of an American wom-
an. In the first Miss Talmadge is seen
as a happy young girl, first in a board
ing school, and then as the only child
of a wealthy and devoted father. Her
mother she cannot remember. The
next phase is the young married wom-
an, in which Miss TalmadSe portrays
a distinct development of character as
a young wife and mother, to whom
comes the frequently encountered spir-
it of restlessness which often brings
domestic tragedies to women who feel
that their outlook upon life is too
cramped. Then comes the third, and
most powerful episode. This is in
troduced in the form of a story told to
the young woman by her father, who
fears she is about to take a foolish
step. He tells her the story of her
mother, and in this Miss Talmadge
plays the part of the mature woman,
whose unhappy history she was in
grave danger of repeating in her own
life. Thus the popular young star is
given the opportunity of depicting
carefree youth. the romance of young
womanhood, and the tagedy of an un-
fortunate, older woman.

WATCH STRAW STACKS
This Is New Kansas Slogan Adopted
ny Secretary Mohler.

An appeal to the farmers and har-
vest crews of the state to eliminate
waste in harvesting, threshiHg and
handling the wheat crop this summer
has been issued by j. c. Mohler. secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture.
Watch the straw stacks is a slogan
which he suggests for harvest time.
Secretary Mothers appeal follows:
practically everything that man
can do with respect to maturing
wheat crop in the United States this
year has been done. Spring wheat
has been sown and the winter wheat is
being harvested in the south The
only thing that man can do yet to in
crease the wheat supply of this year is
to eliminate waste in harvesting and
threshing and handling. With wheat
at present. prices it will take no urging
to induce the farmers to save everv
kernel of wheat possible.
1T is important, however, to watch
the source of loss. One of these is in
threshing Last year many straw
stacks were Refreshed on a $3.50
basis wit1 big profit. One instance
that has come to attention was where
the Refreshed straw from a quarter
section Of wheat yielded so bushels
OF grain that sold for s1.3S a bushel.
1T is estimated that the loss of
wheat passing thru the separator to
the straw stack averages a bushel and
a half to the acre. This year the
percentage is likely to be higher un-
less the utmost care is exercised owing
to the larger proportion of weedy
wheat. One cause for considerable of
the loss n threshing is the high speed
with wheel. many operators insist on
running their separators. This is
against clean separation. Even tho it
might be necessary to pay more in
order that threshing outfits may make
the same wage running at reduced
speed, it should be done to secure the
maximum of wheat at n time when it
is so badly needed. The increased
wheat should more than pay the in
creased cost.
In an ordinary season there is
enough waste in threshing to feed the
state. THis year with our short acre
age to harvest, approximating 4,O0O,-
600 acres, at the usual rate of loss the
waste would amount to 100000 bush
els-a q',2ntity that would provide
bread for an army.
"A slogan at threshing time, sug~
gested by d. ]. Fair, a prominent
wheat grower of Rice county. and IL
member OF the council of defense.
that should be kept prominently in
mind, is Watch the straw stack "
