THE Scarlet Letter. is the most
pathetic story of human love and
passion ever told. For sixty years
Hawthorne's famous work in book
form and on stage, has driven home
into thousands of hearts. its terrible
tale of justice gone wrong.
In William Fox's magnificent film
version, with Stuart Holmes starring,
The Scarlet Letter" has been lifted
from the realm of a mere drama; it
has been exalted to the plane Of
Passion Play. Throughout it runs
the tense motif of the novel magni-
fled hundred-fold by picturization;
scattered here and there are delicate
comedy situations to relieve the tra-
gic strain.
Film a Masterpiece.
The Scarlet Letter. as produced
by Mr.. Fox is the best that skill and
money can produce. Realism marks

PATRIOTISM
IN CAMPAIGN
MayoraIty Election in New York
Only Month Away and Can
ddates Are Getting
Very Busy.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service. !
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-New York is
going after a record for patriotic Ut
terances today.
With the mayoralty election only d
month away, and Mayor Mitchell max
ing his campaign on a platform Of
patriotism as opposed to Hearst,
Hylan and the Hohenzollerns," cam
paign speeches on both sides were
bristling with flaglwaving utterances.
Tammany hall refuses to be classed
as unpatriStic. Chief Murphy is
pointing out the number of Tammany
boys" who have enlisted and pro-
claiming the loyalty of the tiger.
Mitchell opened his campaign last
night with bitter attack on Hylan,
Tammany hall and Hearst. He de-
clared Hearst puts the Star Spang-
led Banner on the front page and
tries to stab the country in the back
in his editorial columns.
Although Matched has been in the
campaign only two days as an indie.
pendent candidate, the fight appeared
to be centering between the mayor
and Tammany. Little is heard at
present of William NJ Bennett who
defeated Mitchell for the republican
nomination.
Mayor Mitchell coined the first
campaign phrase when he referred to
Hearst, Hylan and the Hohenzo!-
lerns," but Chief Murphy had regis
tered Tammany today with reference
to Judge Alton B. Parker as that
boob from Esopus."

w ar Dec AIRED
on Rats by u. S. Govt

The government at Washington is
preparing a campaign that should be
effective in killing the rats that are
so destructive both to lives and prop
erty. A conservative estimate places
the loss Of foodstuffs from rats at over
two hundred million dollars annually,
and in the present scarcity OF food,
this loss must be prevented. The
most efficient way to Kill the Rat"
is ~ the use of Stearns' Paste, and
thousands of dollars worth have been
bought by the government. Every
housekeeper troubled with rats, mice,
reaches or waterbugs should buy a
small box Of this reliable extermtn-
ator and stop further loss OF food in
her home.
