WARS WOMEN AT
THE STAR TONIGHT

Wars Women which will be shown
at the Star Theatre tonight is a play
of pronounced emotional powers. 1t
delves deep into the seething vat of
brute passions that govern men dur
ing the time of war. 1t shows in
vivid realism how vice is permitted
to run rampant in towns that have
been captured by the enemy It shows
the brazen liberties taken by the SOL
diers who crazed with victory, have
no respect for the virtue of women,
whom they regard only as spoils of
war, and therefore their property. 1t
is upon this remarkably strong theme
that this wonderful photoplay is
based. This picture is one of the big
dramatic triumphs of the year.

is usually brought on by eating too rap

to your digestive organs. If you will
eat slowly, masticate your food thor
