which is to be shown Thursday at the
Grand. The story is laid in an ar
lists colony and the principal char
acters are jacques Revilly and Mar

Revilly, because Of his disagreeable
character and his disreputable ap,.
pearance, is called "The Beast. !"
Marguerite is an innocent, unsophis-
ticated girl who finds it impossible to
make a living for herself when her
parents die. Revilly, one winters
night, finds her freezing to death on
a cold stairway. He takes her to his
home and with the aid of his land
lady and man who is his best friend
he saves her life Revilly and the
girl come to love each other, but a
young high-liver in the colony has de-
signs upon Marguerite and these he
carries out through diabolical plot.
But Revilly's love is too big to be ex-
tinguished because of this and he and
Marguerite are finally reunited. The

"The Mysterious Miss Terry

Billv Burke, the darling of the
stage and more recently of the screen,
will appear at the Grand Sunday IN
the first of her Paramount pictures,
"The MYSTERIOUS Miss Terry" where
in the heroine cleverly demonstrates
a novel method Of finding both hap
niness-and a husband. The latter
she does by a process of elimination.
That is she goes incognito to a near
hv boarding-house, where she takes up
the life of an ordinary working girl
although she is in reality an heiress.
Here she meets three young men VINO
promptly fall in love with her.
Each of them is poor and struggling
for a living, although far superior to
the types of idle young men she has
known in her former sphere. FINDING
out the secret ambitions OF each she
Is able to crafty them and thus DIS
cover which is really worth while and
in earnest.
In accomplishing this purpose, the
"Mvsterious Miss Terry" involves her
self in many thrilling and humorous
situations, such as narrow escape
from being arrested for robblng her
own house, and later for giving away
some of her gorgeous gowns. HUI
n,orous episodes and thrilling ad-
venture follow in rapid succession up
on the heels Of each other until a
Fascinating and unexpected denoue-
ment takes place which clears the at
mosphere and gives just the rlght

WEDNESDAY .WHEATLEss DAY"
Restricted Use of Flour Urged by
State Council OF Defense.

The people of Louisiana are asked
by the State Council of Defense in a
bulletin issued this week to observe
every Wednesday as wheatless day,
and to conserve as much foodstuffs as
possible, to the end that Americas ex-
ports to her allies may be increased.
"Let Us Remember" is the perti-
nent caption to the bulletin, which
notes these points to be remembered: !:
"That part of the problem of
those who stay at home is to help feed
our allies this winter by sending them
as much food as we can of the most
concentrated .nutritive value in the
least shipping space.
"Our exports must be increased.
The foods they will need are wheat,
beef, pork, mutton, dairy products
and sugar. Observe wheatless day on
Wednesday.
"Use corn, oats, rye, barley, or
mixed cereal rolls, mullins, and breads
in place of white bread on Wednes-
days, and on other days if possible.
Eat less cake and pastry. On days
when you eat white bread, if you buy
from a baker, order day in advance:
The baker then will not bake beyond
his needs.
"Cut the loaf on the table. and only
as desired. Use stale bread for toast
and cooking"

FINE EXAMPLE OF PATRIOTISM.
Eugene Constantine, Jr., Millionaire,

The Constantin family is well
known along Bayou Lafourche, as
several years ago, when Bayou La
fourche was one of the important
links of the lower Mississippi river,
the Constantin Brothers were plo-
neers in the passenger service by
means of steamboats,, and made it a
paying business. They operated the
steamers Helena and Louisiana for
many years, and in those days, when
there were no trains and no gravel
roads, nearly all passenger traffic was
by means of steamboats,.
Just about three years ago, Eu-
gene, one of the Constantin brothers,
who had invested in the oil business
in the state of Oklahoma, struck an
exceptionally good proposition, and
with the rapid rise of fuel oil during
the past two years, his holdings have
made him a millionaire

"Her Country's Call" which will

it and is proclaimed to be one OF the
best pictures in which the dainty Lou

yet appeared. Miss Minter at odd
moments in this play shows what she
has had little opportunity to do here
tofore: that she is able to express
something more than girlish sweet
