"Freckies."

''Freckles," which comes to the
Grand Wednesday, is certain to make
as big hit in picture form as it did
as a novel and later as a notable
stage success. With Jack Pickford
in the title role and Louise Huff as
Angel, the two leading parts could
not be in better hands. The dramatic
situations are brought out with great
dexterity. The boys fight with Black
Jack, the attempt to murder him, and
his rescue of Angel, are full of gen.
uine thrill. At certain intervals a
novel, stage play, or screen drama
is produced that is wholly satisfying.
'Freckles' is one of these.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or ealIus so 1t lifts
off with fingers. .---

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops OF freezone applied directly ON a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is Inexpensive and is said not 90
irritate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts Like charm every
time.

"Iadv Darnacle.'

The rich and colorful life of East
Indian aristocracy is reproduced IN
Lady Barnacle,' starring dainty lit
tie Viola Dana, which the Grand an
nounces as it's Sunday offering. Con-
trasted with the luxurious settings OF
a maharajah's palace are scenes IN
Puritanic and straight-laced New
England, where Lakshlma, the loVaDle
little heroine of the play, fees to wed
the man she loves. In the part OF the
high-caste Hindoo maiden MISS Dana
is Irresistible. Incidentally, she wears
some superb gowns, appearing first IN
the rich garments Of an East indian
princess, and afterward in exquisite
creations fashioned by leading Paris
ian .modistes. A cast OF photoplay
favorites supports the popular star.

"Sweetheart of the Doomed. :"

4 vindictive siren of Paris and
Monte Carlo, notorious for her evil
charm and mercenary intrigues, be-
comes the angel of the armies OF
France in Sweetheart of the Doom
ed,' which will be shown at the Gem
Sunday.
Already famous for her startling
gowns and her vampire portrayals in
"The Wolf Woman" and "Somewhere
in France" Louise Glaum surpasses
herself in the emotional role of this
drama. Her spiritual TRANSFORMED
ton from the woman seeking ven
geance against men for deception
of her youth to the woman who sacri-
fees all creature comforts to perform
humiliating service for the heroes of
Francois undoubtedly the stars finest
delineation.
Sheathed in glittering jet, her short,
curled hair bound with strands of
pearls, she is a willy adventures in
the gambling palace at the opening
of the play. By sly manipulation she
wins the affections Of Gen. Durand,
the uncle of the man who betrayed
her. She gloats over the prospect of
vengeance when the general an
nounces their engagement. But a
young soldier "a frank, lovable
enters her life, and the
veneer of cynicism that has covered
her heart and soul is broken. She
is regenerated by love. When the
youth goes to the front she DISCUSSES
in peasant garb and follows in order
to be near him. General Durand, who
has learned of her past affairs and
her falsity to him, is about to send
her back to Paris, but she pleads for
the right to serve her country.
In the great cathedral, where the
wounded soldiers are housed, she per-
forms humble acts of mercy. When
the dying men call for sisters, moth
ers, sweethearts, she responds, and in
her tender caresses they feel the
touch of their beloved ones. To them
she is an angel sent to relieve the
terror Of death.

About The Lecture Course

How did, you like the Strollers
Male Quartel9 How do you like
the Lecture Course as a whole? Do
you care to have a course in our
town another year?
The Parent Teachers Association
has worked hard to make the
Lecture Course a success. Last
year it lacked only a trifle of pay
ing out" This year the associa-
ton arranged for an extra number
in the course and sold the tickets
at the same price, yet the sale of
season tickets fell below the sale of
last year.
There is one more number for
this year. The association is out
of funds. Can you do anything to
help in the present need, and make
a lecture course for another year
possible? If you haven't a ticket
wont you engage one now? If you
have one wont you tell your neigh
Dor to buy? Wont you help make
Laclede the best town in the state?
Supporting a good lecture course
is one way to help.

Removed to BrOOkfieId

The ]. B. Patrick stock of
groceries, furniture and hardware
was removed to Brookfeld this
week where Mr.. Patrick will open
up the same lines on the south
side. In the removal Mr.. Patrick
believes he will not only have a
larger field to draw from but will
be able to get a higher per cent of
profit on his goods. For instance,
the same -four he has been selling
here at $3.50 per sack BroOkfeld
grocers are getting $2.75 for and
almost the same per cent can be
added to his other lines and then
be no higher than other Brookfeld
dealers in the same lines. While
Laclede regrets to lose Mr.. Patrick
and this big mercantile stock, the
rooms will not be vacant long as
there is already movement on
foot to fill them with new and up
to date lines.

Gen. Pershing's Uncle Dead

Capt. L. A. Thompson, brother
of the late Mrs. j. F. Pershing and
uncle of Gen. j. j. Pershing, head
of the United States army in
Mexico, died at the soldiers home
in Leavenworth last Sunday. Up
to a short time ago Capt. Thomp-
sons home was at Montgomery,
Mo-, and during the reconstruction
days he represented Montgomery
county in the Missouri legislature.
He was an ardent republican and
at one time published a paper at
Montgomery City and was widely
known as a writer and politician.
He was 80 years of age. Years
ago Capt. Thompson visited the
Pershing family in Laclede and is
we'll remembered by Judge Libby

Parent-Teachers Elect Officers

The regular monthly meeting of
the Parent Teachers Association
was held at the high school audi
torium on Tuesday of last week
with the largest attendance since IT
was organized three years ago.
The program given by the 9Th and
9th grades under the direction of
Miss Dora Coins, Judging from the
hearty applause, was highly ap-
preciated. Roll call was answered
by New Years resolutions and it
is safe to say if these resolutions
are carried out through the entire
year Laclede will be a better place
in which to live.
The lesson was taken from an
address given by W. G. Pearce at
the ninth annual child welfare
conference, showing that though a
child may be educated physically,
mentally and socially, unless he be
educated spiritually he cannot reach
the highest degree of efficiency.
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Mrs.
M. P. Benson. president; Mrs.
Harry Landree, vice president;
Miss Cassie Heath, secretary;
Mis-. L. E. Hamilton, treasurer.
Musician and press reporter are
