get the rest. It is & sure sign of high intelligence to pick as many flaws as possible.
 Crisieise the acting as much as possible, and speak in a loud tone of voice. This will also convince your neighbors that you know Q lot.
 If the pictures are so good that you can't find fault, say mean things about the music and if the music is all right. roast the seats or the ventilation. Remember, If you look sharply you can always find something to kick about.
 Always make it point to tell how much better the other theaters tn other towns are and don't fail to key your voice so that it car ries far. The management will hear of it eventually and it will teacs them 8 thing or two.
 
 Announce whenever you get a chance that you think motion pie lures are only it for common peo- pie and low-brows and that you only see them to prove your Buperi- ority.
 Be sure and read aloud the print ed legends as they appear on the screen. Probably most of the poor dubs rear you can't read and will appreciate your help. And, besides, it shows them that you can.
 Of course you could enjoy your self a great deal more and. the other spectartos would have a much better time if you were quiet and well behaved, but you would miss attracting attention, and one might as well be dead as do that.

SHIPMENTS
 IN BAGGAGE NOT EASY

PoEtland, March 22-Composed oi passenger representatives and bag gage agents, the North Coast Passen- ger association's baggage commit tee is having meeting at VanccuVe1 B. C., today to further standardize rules and regulations relating to handling baggage on all lines on the coast and in the interior.
 Attending the meeting IS E., B. Carson, general baggage agent of the Southern Pacific, who stopped over in Portland yesterday. One. of the sources of aggravation to the railways has been the shipment of liquor as baggage into prohibition states, but this practice is rapidly disappearing, says MT. Carson, be- cause the offenders invariably get caught or lose the contraband liquor through the contents of trunks breaking and leaking.

HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELF
 PROPERLY AT THE MOVIES

On entering a motion picture theater make as much noise as pos sible. This will advise those al ready seated that you have really arrived.
 On taking a seat, push your el- bows cut as far as possible. When they come in contact with those on each side, it will serve to teach you uetgbhOIs to make way when you ar rive. These lessons cannot be taught too vigorously.
 After you get comfortably seated iu yCu- chair, cross your legs and then bump your knee against the back of the seat in front of you,, keeping time with the music. This will be greatly appreciated by the person whose chair back is being use as a bass drum.
 In pssing in front of others, take all the time you want and step on foot now and then. The others need stirring up occasionally.
 When the comedies are shown don't laugh at anything you see. Hearty laughter is so vulgar.
 If you have seen the pictures be- fcre, watch carefully and shout out the plot before it comes into view on the screen-this will prove you are a pretty smart fellow.
 In passing down the aisle to se- euro a seat, don't waste time, and if possible, run at full speed Those you knock down in the rush will learn to get out Of your way next time.
 If you are @ good guesser, tell your neighbor what's coming next. Ther will be grateful for the ad- vance information.
 If a fine picture has a few flaws ia it, always remember them and for

 KIDNEYS SICKl
Many Alaska People Have Kept Well By Keeping Their Kid
 neys Well.

The first symptoms of kidney trouble may be only a slight pain ill the back, feeling of stiffness or soreness in the loins, or some an noying irregularity of the urinary Dassages. Urine is often discolor- ed and perhaps sediment gathers upon standing. Next may come a dull, throbbing, backache, sharp, knife-like pains, headaches, dig ziness and in many cases, lameness when arising in the moTnng. No one can alfred to delay until these troubles become serious. Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills, the tried and tested kidney remedy that has won the praise of thousands. Alaskan readers should find con y1ncing proof of merit in the fol- lowing statement.
 G. H. Behnke, S2S Lincoln St., Portland, Ore, says: Kidney trou- ble clung to me for six months. l had a dull, steady ache and at time, sharp pains in my kidneys. l had soreness over my kidneys and I found it hard to turn in bed.

Guilty in securing this picture during

A feature of this special presenta-

one-half of the gross proceeds is to
be divided among the four Winnie

i've organizations. "The Life of Our
Savious" was made in France and
consists of seven reels in natural
colors. Concerning this latest Gold

The events of Jesus life, from the

lied a company of the best actors and
produced "The Life of Our Saviour"
an accurate. superbly acted, dramatic
INSTALLATION of Jesus journey on
earth. The compilation of this chro-
nology of Jesus is truly an achieve
ment worthy of the highest praise,
as it truthfully and geographically
portrays with grace and dignity his
sufferings and final achievement. The
work represents lifetime of careful,
study and an immense financial out
lay. and because of its tremendous
subject is the worlds greatest drama.
The picture is colored and exquisitely
arranged so as to bring to the vision
graphic realization of the infinite
simplicity. yet monumental strength
of Jesus"
