THE COUNTRY HOMELESS
Conducted BIZ Mrs. w. II. FELTON,

built exclusively for the manufacture
of whisky. there is large part of
the property which can be used for per-
fectly legitimate purposes. The greater
part of that property can be used for
distilling alconol. 1t is impossible for
the manufacture of alcohol to be stop
ped at this time. Every time $4,000
she'll is made, a barrel of alcohol is
used and a 500 pound bale of cotton is
needed TO prepare the explosive that
with the glycerine and the nitric acid
that goes into IL and with other COM
pounds that chemically combine with the
cotton, makes the high-power explosive.
High explosives require alcohol. NO
one believes that the manufacture of
alcohol will cease.
In this connection l will also remark
that there will be an active market
for cotton so long as cotton is needed
In immense quantities to manufacture
these high-explosive ammunitions. Just
think of il costing three thousand DOL
lars 10 prepare the single shot from
one of the many thousand guns that
are being fired by the warning nations
in Europe.
AS 1 understand, the cotton is put
to soak in nitric acid combined with al
cohol and tranformed by sclentlIic
nrocess into gun cotton. And since al
cohol must be distilled and cotton must
he cultivated to form the basic ele-
ments of all high-explosives we may
set IT down that both will continue
In active demand so long as warning ma
tions need either of them TO destry
their opponents.
1t strikes me that Christianity Is
trampled upon ruthlessly in conduct
ing such warfare and it is paintul
Thought that our children and grand
children are to be the targets for these

declared to uphold more firmly than
ever the Triangle standard in this
regard.
The Devils Double" in addition to
telling an intensely dramatic story,
contains a succession of thrills that
are entirely new to the screen.
There will be new Keystone COM
, edy in the program and a special
attraction Will be 1.-THE Great Silk In

WAR BRIDES" SAID
TO BE BIG TRIUMPH

Probably the greatest photoplay
feature, not excepting 1.-The Birth OF
A Nation" ever secured for New
Britain is to be shown at Keeney's
all next week when War Brides"
will be given the place of distinction
on the movie" program. This SEN
sational film has been the talk of the
country since it's release. 1t
drew capacity audiences to Broad
way theaters for weeks, although the
prices usually prevailing when Caruso
sings were charged. Critics have pro-
nounced it to be the greatest spec
tacle ever staged before a camera and
the film Is in great demand through
out the east The piece Is made
doubly attractive because of the ap
pearance at the head of the cast of
ova, recognized as one of the
greatest emotional actresses in the
world.
The Keeney management has Sc
cured the film for the entire week
and it will be shown both afternoon
and evening, without the least ad-
vance in the admission prices.
The vaudeville show this week is
of particularly high order. Head
ing the bill is Lew Ward and His
oriental Follies, most entertaining
musical comedy; Muller and Muller
a pair of singers of exceptional abil-
1ty, and Young Buffalo and company
