In a plentitude of advice there is al
ways more or less a great diversity of
opinion. When some public enterprise
is being proposed and meetings are
called to discuss the question and free
dom Of expression is encouraged, the
general result is that there are as
many different opinions expressed as
there are individuals taking part in the
discussion. II takes a long time to
crystalize public opinion even in the
matter of the location and construction
of a new high school building. AS a
result the school board will have to
determine the matter and take the con-
sequences till some new enterprise IN
cages the attention of the public and
old differences of opinion are forgotten.

PUBLIC OPINION" IS
 THEME FOR SCREEN
Blanche Sweet Plays Leading Role in Good Photoplay
 at the Royal Today.

Public Opinion" which appears at the Royal today, Blanche Sweets new est photoplay for the Jesse l.. Lasky Feature Play Company, opens for the screen an entirely new theme. In this mendrama of social conflict, Miss Sweet appears as young woman nurse wrongfully accused of murder The hand of justice, unseen in the very day world but visible in filn, stalks through the drama to the eli max, finally pointing the way for the freedom of the accused and the convic- tion of the guilty.
 In characters of this sort Miss Sweet already occupies in the memo ries of motion picture enthusiasts a unique place. Her remarkable per formance in the dual personality in "The Secret Sin" and again in the Lasky-Belasco production 'The Case of Becky" mark her as one specially suited for the portrayal of the occult.
 Not the least distinguished feature about Public Opinion" is the manner in which the story keeps entirely away from the sordid.

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good for Congestion and Colds
 as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard-plaster burned and blistered while 1t acted. You can now get the relief and help that mustard plasters gave. without the plas- ter and without the blister.
 Musterole does it. It is clean, white ointment, made with oil of mustard. It is scientifically prepared, so that it works wonders, and yet does not blister the tenderest skin.
 Just massage Musterole in with the finger tips gently. See how quickly it brings relief how speedily the pain disappears.
 Use Musterole for sore throat, bron- chitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges- ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil- plains, frosted feet, colds of the chess (it often prevents pneumonia).
