CINEMA CLASSIC COMING.
Audrey Munson in Purity" Booked
for Gem Theatre, May a.

Local picture patrons will be de-
lighted by the announcement that
purity" featuring the world famous
art model, Audrey Munson, has been
booked for presentation at the Gem
Theatre, Friday, May 4. Purity
lis a picture play of rare charm, of
Exquisite beauty, and of superb en-
tertainment It unfolds a story,
based on poetic idyll, that is as pow
erful as it is startling. 1t carries one
back thousands of years to the days
when all life was in harmony with
nature itself; when all was pure and
virtuous; when human minds were I'M
tainted and bodies unadorned. Pass
ing through the period of ancient
Greek mythology, we see the unfortu-
nate Pandora release Evil upon the
earth, with all the. consequent strife
and sorrow. Again, as time goes on,
we come to modern society with all
its false morality. Powerful in its
arrangement of mawkish prudery !;
singing in it's rebuke of false social
customs, "Purity''F will strip your
mind and heart of all deceptive Ideals
and leave in their place this golden
thought: Mature, unadorned, is es-
sentially pure and beautiful
1t is fitting that this story, treating
as it does of art and artists, should
have for its leading interpreter the
most beautiful are model in all the
world, Audrey Munson, woman of
surprising perfection of form. She
appears on various occasions in ma
lures original garments; again, in the
simple diaphanous garb of ancient
Greece; and yet again, in the dress Of
modern times; and through it all she
displays a subtle artistry that is in
deed refreshing. Her winning sweet
ness, her nobility of mien, her superb
grace and finished acting are "never
to be forgotten optical delights.

A Packing Hint.

II you are contemplating a trip this
summer and wish to carry as little bag
gage as possible (and remember tho
handling Of one trunk is cheaper than
the handling of two, even though they
may both be small trunks, this may Dc
a welcome suggestion. My husband and
1 went west two years ago carrying
only one small steamer trunk, but we
carried lots Of clothes with US.
1 invested 10 cents in a few screw
eyes from hardware store and hall
way between the bottom and top OF the
trunk along each side about five inches
apart, 1 screwed these screw ,eyes-also
put couple in each end of the trunk
treating the tray in the same way
Through each screw eye I ran narrow
white tape for the purpose of tying ana
holding clothes in place.
! had plenty of tissue paper Mandy
and wherever garment was fo!ded
crushed bit of paper and tucked II
in between the folds to prevent from
wrinkling. BY the use Of these tapes
1 was able to pack clothes tighter and
space.
When we reached our destination our
clothes we're in perfect condition and
did not even need pressing and nothing
moved about. 1t would take up too
much Space to enumerate the clothing
taken by both of us on that trip. but
am sure that once you try these little
tapes when packing you will always
use them. MRS. ]. v. II.

Nerves and Extravaganza.

A noted doctor advises 4 mother to
feed her nervous daughter plenty of
healthful. body building food as an i'm
portant part. Of corrective treatment.
This young woman is to be given plen-
ty of tissue builder. which we find in
meat. eggs, cheese and fish and milk.
She must also have starch and salts
found in rice. potatoes, cooked in the
skins. cereals. fruit juices. etc.
Nervousness in the adult woman is an
expensive luxury. A great nerve spe-
cialist claims that nervous women are
great spendthrifts. They get restless
and immediately wish to work it off in
a shopping trip. They visit the shops
and because of their high strung condi-
ton spend unwisely. They buy things
that do not fit in with their general
scheme of living at all-useless lux
uries that they cannot afford. .
This is quite reasonable. for the I'M
derfed. nervous woman. as a rule. has
no definite plan of life. She is not
building for the future. but is just liv-
ing from day to day. The first correc-
tive step for that woman is in the diet.
Poise goes. hand in hand with proper

Feeding the Child Of Three.

At the beginning of the third year
the childs diet may be increased by
adding more solid food. especially
meats and vegetables. According to
the Department of Agriculture. every
healthy child of three should have at
least one food a day from each OF the
following five groups:
l. Milk and dishes made chiefly Of milk tmost
important Of this group in children's diet)
meat. fish, poultry and eggs.
=. Bread and other cereal foods.
3. Butter and other wholesome fats.
4. Vegetables and fruits.
5. Simple sweets.
The meats should be beef, boiled.
broiIed or roasted: lamb chops: the
All meat should be free from fat, girls
tie or bone and finely minced when
given to the child. G
Eggs should be very soft boiled, cod
died. poached or soft scrambled. Fried
eggs should never be given to a child,
but the grated or mashed yoke of a
very hard boiled egg may sometimes
be used.
Meat broths made from mutton, beef
or chicken have little nutriment, but
If these are thickened with arrowroot
or cornstarch, and especially il milk is
added, they become a valuable food.
Well cooked vegetables, strained and
added to warm milk, are not only good
1000, out serve TO tedcn the CHlIu "
like vegetables.
Cereals should be thoroughly cooked
and served with milk or thin cream and
a very small amount of sugar or none.
Bread for a child should be at least
two days old. Toast, Zwieback or hard
crackers may be given once or twice a
day.
Baked potatoes moistened with lit
tie butter thin cream, beef juice or
platter gravy may be given.
Asparagus tips, spinach. stewed cell
.ery squash, string beans, carrots.
young peas. we'll cooked and mashed.
or put through a PURGE sieve, are all
good for a child A small portion of
one of these vegetables may be part
of the child's dinner each day.
Fruits should be continually used. At
this age sweet oranges, baked apples
or stewed prunes are most useful. The
juice or mashed pulp of fresh ripe pears
or peaches may be given in the third
year, but there is much danger in US
ing overripe or green fruit. as well as
in giving too much. 1t Is especially
necessary to be careful in hot weather,
when fresh fruit decays rapidly. Ba
nanas should never be given to young
child.
A child under four years of age
should never have dried or sailed
meats, sausage, pork. game. liver. kid
ney goose or duck. Fried and raw
vegetables, hot fresh breads, cakes and
pastries, salads, candy, sirups, tea. COT
fee. beer. cider and soda water are al
unsuitable foods for child.

SPRING BEVERAGES.

With the coming of the spring days
every home manager will be looking TO-
the "whetting' OF the tagging appetites
of her family. With a very little planning
and labor she can add the necessary pep"
to meals by serving tempting fruit lem
onade or one of the many varied grape
now that the big national producers have
created such an extensive industry IN
making this delivious, economical and
pure drink.
Then, too, the attractively colored
and served cool drink takes the place
quite universally in warm weather Of
the customary afternoon tea, coffee or
chocolate. If these beverages are used
at all. they are served chilled and iced.
1t must be remembered that drinks
made of fruit juices have, besides their
refreshing and appetite-quenching- quall-
ties, certain amount of food value in
their mineral salts and sugar contents.
Especially is. this the case with grape
juice. Every housewife will be inter-
ested in saving the following recipes
which will save her time and trouble,
because they have been carefully tested
as to flavor and exact amounts needed
in making the mixtures.
FRUIT LEMoNADE-one cup lemon
juice. one-half cup of pineapple juice,
one-haf cup orange juice, one cup grape
juice, one cup water and one-fourth cup
sugar. Dissolve the sugar in water, add
the fruit juices and serve ice cold.
GRAPE PUNCH. No. 1-one-half cup
of juice from canned peaches, one-half
cup juice from canned pears, one-half
cup juice from canned pineapples. the
juice of three lemons, the juice Of one
grape fruit. one cup of water. two cups
of grape juice and one-fourth cup of
sugar. Dissolve sugar in the water. add
to the fruit juices. Allow to stand in
the refrigerator so that the blend may
be perfect. Serve very cold, with crack
ed ice if possible
GRAPE PUNCH, No. 2-One- fourth
cup of maraschino juice, one-half cup
of lemon juice, one-fourth cup orange
juice. one cup water. onefourth cup of
sugar and two cups of grape juice. Dis
solve sugar in water, add fruit juices.
Leave in the refrigerator several hours
to blend the f1avors. Serve very cold.
Cracked Ice in the glass adds to the
effect of the beverage.
GRAPE JUICE PUNCH WITH TEA
One cup orange pekoe tea. one cup
lemon juice, two cups grape juice. one
fourth cup of sugar. Dissolve sugar In
tea. add fruit juices. Place in refrig-
orator to cool and blend. Serve very
cold.

Joining Worsted Without Knots

AS many people are making sweaters
and other articles just now with the
soft worsteds. it may be of interest TO
them to know that knots are no longer
necessary for joining. When the end
of the yarn is almost reached the new
yarn is inserted in the eye of large
needle, and. then is stitched up the end
of the old for an inch and. half. or
more. The needle is then withdrawn,
the joined threads given a slight twist.
and it is almost impossible to- find the
Joining. This may be used successfully
with. all woods that are not hard
!. twisted.

will build the foundation for absolute
self-control. Increase the tissue-build-
ing foods in your diet.
Eliminate for the time Aal stimulants.
Tea and coffee may at first be replaced
by. a mild stimulant such as is to be
had in beef tea or bouillon. That in

various fruit juices the grape juice has
the greatest food value.
Eat heartily of foods the action Of
