ORPHANS DREAM
TO BE REALIZED
l.. w. HUTTON, RICH MINING MAN
TO BUILD ORPHANAGE
AT SPOKANE.
Pioneer Montana Engineer and Spo-
kane Capitalist to Provide Chill
dren Left Without Parents With
Home Such as He Longed for in
His Childhood.

AS the result of an unsatisfied
childish longing for home, orphan
children of the northwest are to
have such a home, constructed to the
memory of another orphan child. 1t
is to be erected in Spokane by the
Ladies Benevolent society and the
cost, 1000, has been presented to
that society by l.. w. Hutton, one of
the wealthiest mining men of the
northwest and one of the pioneer
railway engineers in Montana.
Employees of the Northern Pacific
in western Montana will recall him
as one of the most popular of the
men who ever sat in cab. He used
to pilot the fast freight and the old
North Coast Limited on the way to
and from Spokane and then later he
had a run on the Occur d'Alene
branch
1t was this run that was respon-
sible for his wealth for he, became
interested in the Hercules prospect at
Burke and when the vein in that now
famous property, said to be the rich
est silver-lead mine in the country,
was encountered, Hutton with a half
score other Occur d'Alene residents
became over night a captain of in
dustry.
That was less than a couple of de-
cades ago. Subsequent years have
seen his fortune grow as result of
wise investments and the develop
ment of the northwest.
Hutton was an orphan His
mother died when he was three
months old and his father a short
time afterwards. AS result very
early in life he had to take upon
himself the responsibility of doing
his own planning, something usually
done for children by their parents
He felt, as do all orphan children
the lonesomeness of being without
home and he made a resolve, which
will soon be realized, that some day
he would provide a real home for
children such as himself.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-"One glance is

physician who has studied widely both in
this country and in great European
medican institutions, in a recent dis
course. They are the ones that do and
dare. The others are in the weakling
class. sleepless nights spent worrying
over supposed ailments, constant dosing
with habit forming drugs and narcotics
for nervous weakness, stomach, liver or
kidney disease and useless attempts to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stmulants are what keep them suffer-
ing and yainly longing to be strong.
Their real trouble is lack of iron in the
blood. Without iron the blood has no
power to change food into living it's
sue and therefore, nothing you eat does
you any good; you don't get the strength
out Of it. The moment iron is supplied
the multitude of dangerous symptoms

months without any benefit.

THE Mother Instinct is an intense
drama of sacrifice and retribution
shown against background of turb.
ulent French seacoast. While the
theme of a girls assuming her sis.
ter's disgrace is not original, it is de.
veloped here so artistically and with
the suspense so we'll sustained that
the treatment puts new life into the
old situations. The entire drama is
permeated with foreign atmosphere
that is created with true artistry and
gives a series of really exquisite
Icenes in French fishing hamlet and
IN Partisan studio. There is a very
interesting study in character con-
trasts in the personalities Of the two
sisters, and each OF the minor char.
acters are drawn with a genuine quail
1ty which makes them actually live on
the screen
The heroine is young French girl
living an artists model in Paris. When
her old mother arrives Unexpectedly
to visit her, she finds her taking care
of baby whom the girl weepingly
admist is her own, and it is not until
the trial scene where a man is con.
f1cted of murder that the real mother
hf the child confesses and accepts the
responsibility that she has allowed
her sister to assume. The denoue.
ment comes as complete surprise
and is very skilfllly handled.
