Marguerite Clark in Snow White"
Marguerite Clark, having won one OF
her greatest successes on the stage In
an adaptation of the Grimm brothers
beloved fairy tale. "Snow White" has
busted off her darling little costumes
which she wore in the play and has
donned them again for the Famous
Players version of the story which is
the Paramount picture at the Empress
theater today and Friday. 1t is said
that the motion picture goes straight
to the original story for it's source and
that the adaptation is true to the
Grimm conception in every detail.
Especial attention has been given by
Director J. Searle Dawley to the mach
nations of the witch Hex and of the
wicked Queen Brangoman, which can
be depicted on the screen as readily
as the author set it upon paper, be-
cause Of the trick photography OF
which the motion picture camera per-
mits.

Eczema is not catching. You cannot
take 1t from anyone afflicted with this
disorder. 1t is sometimes known as
teter, and is not caused by any germ
of bacterial source of infection what
soever.
Eczema is an acute but more often
a chronic development OF the skin
with two main symptoms which are
always prominent. One is itching, the
other is q watery discharge. There are
all kinds of eczema. One is a type
which merely develops a severe red
ness. Another type develops tiny
grains or capsules the size of bird
clusters of water blisters that fire.
quently have pus in them. In the
chronic form OF this persistent skin
disorder large scales and thick crusts
occur on the skin. No matter what
the type of eczema, there is always an
itching and u discharge of watcry
fluid, known as serum.
What is the cause of eczema, you
may ask? So far as our studies go
we do not know more than that it is
due to some disturbance of the diges-
tive functions, or some general de-
bility of the nutrition channels of the
skin. If healthy nourishment cannot
be supplied to the skin through a
strong. vigorous network of blood
vessels the vitality of the tissue in the
affected area becomes lowered n sniff :
cient quantity of waste products like
wise cannot be carried off. 1t is the
old story of the stove which will not
thoroughly burn up or oxidiZe the
coal you place upon it because the
| ashes and the SCOT in the draught
chambers and the CRATE are not
thoroughly cleaned out.

that is to be advanced for consideration

Pantages vaudeville show at the Mis-
soula theater tonight Pauline has
been creating a great sensation wher-
ever he has been presenting his re-
markable act. He proceeds along the
lines of science and yet his efforts

Questions and Answers,

About six years ago, ! had 4 de-
cayed tooth that festered at it's root.
and I allowed it to stay in it's place so
long that the infection extended up
into the antrum of Highmore of my
upper jaw. Very offensive discharges
occurred into the nostrils. These con-
tinued after the tooth was drawn. I
went down to a dentist and he bored
a hole into the jaw and treated it a
number Of times, with the result the
discharge ceased entirely, and. the
hole in the jaw healed up. Last Win
ter the discharge began again.
went to the same dentist and he bored
a hole in the same place and treated
it as before, but it failed to heal He
bored second time and q larger hole
but still the discharge fails to stop.
Can you tell me what can be done
to effect n cure?
Answer-Your dentist Is evidently q
most competent professional man, and
Is decidedly better able to handle your
case than myself. Follow his advice
absolutely to the letter. I am sorry 1
cannot help you to a greater extent.
If had your trouble as the result of
an infected tooth l would certainly
stick to the dentist who had my per-
feet confidence.

tion Of the existing war.
In effect. this removes the neces-
sity Of annual assessment work on
mining claims during the time the
war is in progress. The plea is made
that the scarcity of labor and the
need Of all available miners in ac-
tual production of metals needed in
war work, makes 1t unwise to re-
quire that this work be done on the
thousands Of mineral claims all over
the mining west.
The Oregon delegation in con-
gress is understood to be solidly be-
hind the measure.

WE CANNOT SENSE 1T

Does one wonder why those
charged with authority and responsi.
bility at the seat Of government
chafe under the delay with which
they are granted authority to cope
with the serious situation confront
ing them and the nation. That
slowness is due to an inability to
realize what this war means. It's
figures are astonishing. We fail to
really sense 1t, situated as we are,
30 far from the scenes Of its devas-
tation.
II is one thing to glance at long
lists of casualties in the morning pa
pers, to read the description OF vii
lagos and townships ruined by artil-
lery fire. 1t is quite another thing
to sense the true inwardness Of the
vast human tragedy that is being
enacted across the sea. The silence
Of London and Paris, and OF other
great cities in France and England;
the prevalence Of black as the color
in which most women are dressed,
is mere outward symbol OF the
mourning that is In the hearts and
homes OF nearly every family in war
devastated Europe.

chief Of the imperial staff Of the Brit
