adult picture audiences Is trained.
Taste is cultivated for the drama
and for good reading through cnll'

young people. Why should not the
same consideration be given 10 the
subjects Of motion pictures? the
photoplay occupies very large place
among our social institutions. Indeed
the motion picture is now recognized
as being the category Of SUBJECTS

should consider.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

Congressman Byrues of South Carolina was resisting the con scription bill. He exclaimed:
 "You cannot tell me why people changed overnight. I know it is because the news papers say: You are not stand ing by the President 5
 There, in a few words, is the substance of the relation of the people the president and con gress. Congress did not like the conscription bill. Congress vot- ed for it because the president not liking the conscription, were often conscious of trying to rep resent the feelings of their con stituents. But the feeling of the people is also that whatever the legislation the president asks for he should have. The people have perfect confidence in the president. If there had been a popular vote on cOnscriptiOn, and if the president had given no hint of his wish and of the nations need, conscription would have been overwhelmingly de- feated. But if the president had asked the people to give him conScriptiOn, and if there had then been popular vote, not on the merits of conscrip tion, but on whether he should be given what he asked, the result would have been over whelmingly in favor of the pres ident. Ali that is being done at Washington rests upon this foundation the confidence of the people in the Presidents lead ership. Collier

 Seventy years of successful use has made Thedford's Black-Draugnt a standard, household remedy. Every member, of every family, at times, need the help that Black-Draught can give in cleansing the system and re- lieving the troubles that come from constipation, indigestion, lazy liver. etc. You cannot keep well unless your stomach, liver and bowels are ia good working order. Keep them that way. Try Black-Draught. It acts promptly, gently and in natural way. If you feel sluggish, take a dose tonight. You will feel fresh tomorrow.

good qualities, the parents are esteemed
o weak kneed creatures who are
spelling their offspring and failing to
realize the awful responsibility OF faith
ers and mothers.
Yet common experience shows us that
praise is a mightier weapon than blame
and that there is a general instructive
desire that ever children share to live
up to our blue china and be asfine and
good hammered and intelligent as those
about us expect us 10 be.
One Of the main reasons that virtue
is not more popular is because it i, as
ISOLATED in our minds with everything
that is disagreeable. Perhaps il we
would try to realize that what is good
and true and right is far more beauti-
full than any lie or wrong can be, we
would not find it 10 hard to persuade
the young that the straight and narrow
path is really more attractive than the
primrose one.

At a meeting of farmers wives in
Kiowa county, County Woman Agen,
Mrs. Ida Gregory discussed the efficacy
Of canning soy beans, One woman sug-
gested that the beans were hard to rails,
owing to the raids OF rabbits. Thn ob,
