FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Week September 18th,
"CHRISTUS,'

SiAIs1o ~ ~
the story of Christ; the greatest drama
in human history, wonderful pictorial
revelation, two years to produce, at fab
ulous expense.
"Christus" remains another week at
Ford's. This great spectacular picture
has been accorded the distinction of be-
ing the most wonderful ever presented
of biblical history. Its production took
over two years of earnest work, and the
result fully justifies the time, over half
a million dollars spent in its accurate and
elaborate presentation.
Its absorbing interest to the thousands
of theatregoers and lovers of biblical
lore is not surprising, in its many re-
markable pictures, scenes, events, and
characterizations so perfectly reproduc-
ed in dramatic action and historical ac-
curacy.
This stupendous production made en-
tirely in Egypt and the Holy Land per-
haps the most noteworthy event connect
ed with the production of "Christus'
took place In Egypt when Lord Kitchen
er, then in command of the British
Egyptian forces, undertook the direction
of several of the huge scenes in which
hundreds of men and camels appear.
"Christus" opens with the journey of
Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem for the
census ordered throughout the Roman
world shows the journey of the Magi and
so on, including the trip to calvary. The
flight into Egypt and many other of the
Incidents depicted give an opportunity
for its exceptionally inspiring and dra-
matte presentation.

Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty. That
is because they neglect the liver and
bowels. Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and you will not only
feel younger but look younger. When
troubled with constipation or biliousness
take Chamberlain Tablets. They are
intended especially for these ailments
and are excellent. Easy to take and
most agreeable in effect Obtainable

Leave For Anniston, Ala.
Big Movement OF Troops To
Training CamD.

After weeks of waiting at the Armory
at Frederick, Company A, First Mary
land Infantry, U. S. Army, under com
mand of Capt. Elmer F. Munshour, left
Frederick at o'clock Monday evening
for Admission, Alabama, at which place
they will 60 in training for just how long
it is safe to say nobody now knows.
The boys were given great goodbye
thousands of people lining the streets
from the armory to the B. & o. depot.
The Moose band played patriotic airs
during the entire march.
At the depot while many persons were
cheering and wishing the boys well,
others were bidding their sons farewell
perhaps the last, but we hope not
before departing for the southern cline.
A reporter tells of an amusing incident
at the train. One of the boys giving a
young lady goodbye at the close asked
her to be sure to write, and she made the
same request. A few minutes later the
lad called the lady and asked her what
her first name was. OF course it would
be poor corresponding not knowing the
entire name.
What route Company A boys travel to
Admission has not been learned.
Frederick city was not the only place
where such demonstrations occurred on
Monday. Monday evening three heavy
trains carrying troops and equipment
passed west over the Western Maryland
railroad. Two of the trains stopped here
for orders. They went to Hagerstown
and there transferred to southern road.
1t is thought some of these soldiers were
from the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
According to reports from Camp Nc
Clellan, Admission, which is six miles
away, is unable to handle the crowds of
soldiers going there Saturday nights and
Sunday.
Its transportation and mercantile re-
sources can adequately supply its own
population and but little more, despite
the towns opportunities for knowing its
future. Last Saturday and Sunday au-
tomobles were commandeered by the
military police in order to get the soldiers
back to camp, trouble having been ex-
perienced because of the price asked for
hauling. Two taxicab companies left
town and went back to Birmingham.
Restaurants had to lock their doors be-
cause the soldiers bought everything they
had, and others were blacklisted because
of charging exorbitant prices. Armed
guards at their doors prevented soldiers
entering.
Admission has had no red light district,
and it is stated that the city's morals
have been beyond reproach.
An important profile within the camp
that of sanitation and health, has been
the subject of investigation by Major J.
H. Urich, of Baltimore, division sanitary
and he has some recommends
tions ready. They are understood to in
clude complete underground sewerage
system to replace in part the aystem of
incinerators now in use. They also in
clude a recommendation that the artific-
ial lake near the Maryland camp, called
chesapeake Lake" by the boys, be
drained, lined with concrete and retilled
to serve as a healthful swimming pool.

a. IMPROVING THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

DEFORMERS who have hoped that the day would come
ginning to believe that their dreams are TO come true. Yet
the perfect oificeholdcr is no more possible than any other
perfect person. However, the signs OF the times are en-
couraging, and recent events prove that the people are
forcing an improvement Of the public service.
The mayor of Fort Smith has been removed from office
charge seems somewhat insignificant, The executive has
been suspended from office for having made a pre-. election
promise, Whether the promise was TO appoint, some politi.
cal worker to a minor job, or whether the promise con
sisted Of a guarantee to protect certain persons in violat-
ing liquor and other laws is not known to the public But
evidently there was a well grounded opinion in the Arkan-
sas town that the mayor was not giving the kind Of service
desired by the people,
Texas recently removed its governor. the legislature
having decided that the executives financial transactions
were Of a nature that could no, he Endorsed by the public
In our own state the legislature removed one official
Others resigned on the eve OF impeachment. At present
the attorney general is acting to remove a sheriff who is
charged with failing to stop the sale Of liquor in Oklahoma
All these activities indicate that the people have finally
tired of the sentimcn held by some officials that A public
office is a private snap. Public service has been placed
on a higher plane, The o%fiiccholdcr who has not learned
the temper OF the public is due for a fall True. the public
was patient so long that some officials thought that tax
seeing the light, and we're going to get better public service
all over the land. The incompetent and grating Official
has been told to stand aside.
