The constant aching of a bad back,
The WEAKNESS, the tired feeling,

used Doan's Kidney Pills to relieve
a dull ache across my kidneys, have
always been relieved of the trouble.

PERSONAL FEELING AND ADVER-
TISING.

Some advertisers make the tremen-
dous mistake of refusing to advertise
in a paper because they have some
personal feeling against the editor.
No such attitude should be taken.
This excellent editorial along these
lines recently appeared in the Ober-
lin, Ohio, News:
"An Oberlin business man, solicited
for advertising business, stated that
he would not use the columns of the
paper which the solicitor represented
because of the fact that notice had
been made of an action brought
against the business man a few weeks
before.
"There should be but one reason
for advertising, and that because it
pays the advertiser. We would not
drive away the business of the man
who carries a space because he and
the editor are members Of the same
church or smoke the same brand of
cigars or have similar tastes in neck
ties or politics, but the fact remains
that the business of advertising is
plain business. 1t should be a digni-
fled presentation on the part of the
business man Of the reasons why the
public will find it profitable to deal
at his store.
1.-THE fact that he likes or dislikes
the editor should have nothing to do
with the question. The fact that the
paper in question prints the news
without fear or favor is strong
reason for using its columns. Char
acter-for papers have character
and circulation should be the deter
mining factors in the purchase Of
space. II the paper reaches the peo-
pie in the territory Of the advertiser
and If its policy is such as to COM
mand the espect of those with money
to spend, the business man should
use space in it, not to oblige the ed
itor, but to push his own business.
Advertising is a commodity of genu-
inc value. The advertiser should get
value received for the money he ex-
pends for space. He should patron
ize the papers which print the news,
because that is the business of a real
paper, and any other policy is unfair
to its readers"

History of Motion Picture Industry
By Beatriz SMicheiena

ment is more ludicrous than any pos
sible fiction conception of the human
mind. Boggs acted as director, scene
painter, property man, photoplay-
wright and stage carpenter. To be
sure, he had other work, but it was
of more varied and less classified
sort. AS for Persons, he also had one
of those nothing -to-do- o-until-tomorrow
jobs. Primarily he was manager OF
finances, which job at that time you
may be assured required no Alexan-
der Hamilton. He was also camera
man, business manager, bookkeeper
and wardrobe mistress" while hand
ling scenery and helping to write
scenarios came in as occasional
chores to fill those times when he
might be fretting for something to
do.
"These two men constituted the
original stock company and the regu-
lar salary list of the first picture
producing company in Los Angeles.
Nowadays it takes at least that many
men to properly attend a single cam
era, to say nothing of the assistant
directors and the assistants assist
ants and the property man and the
corps of grips" and stage carpen-
ters. without which no studio is com
plete
However, despite the handicaps,
and there were more than could pos
sibly be chronicled here, the main
fact is that they did make pictures.
How good they were need not be
mentioned, for in those days no mas
terpieces were being made under the
most favorable conditions. Securing
actors was out of the question. They
had to take anyone who was willing
to work for the wages offered. Make
up? There was no such animal. A
different suit made a different char
acter, and it required no genius to
change clothes. So the pictures were
made, some of them as long as one
reel. and some of them not"
Thus, due to the enterprise of Sc
lig and his two dauntless scouts, Cali
fornia where now 80 per cent at
least of all motion pictures are filmed,
became producing center. Thirty
five years before Muybridge had set
his string of cameras under Califor-
MAS sunshine and snapped Occident
as the horse trotted down Senator
Stanford's track. Since then the idea,
born of those snapshots and grown
ino the motion picture industry, had
practically circled the globe and
pressed its way into the most remote
corners thereof, and now, after due
season, it had come back unpreten-
tiously to the place of its birth to
finally establish its Mecca of future
expansion and growth.

NEED FOR WAR FUND

Stockholders OF large corporations
throughout the country are to be
given an opportunity to subscribe to

Henry p Davidsons National War
Council OF the Red Cross has under.
taken 10 raise Pierre S. dupont is
Ia Delaware member OF the commit
tee.
A plan. which is unique in the his
tory OF American finance. has been
approved by the War Council and
reports from New York Indicate that
1t will be put in operation at an early
date. 10 is more than likely that To-
cal corporations will be asked to ioin
In the movement. The plan provides
that the directors of large corpora
tions and financial institutions shall
declare a special Red Cross dividend
and that the stockholders to whom this
dividend is given shall turn the
amount over to the Red Cross oreani-
zation.
A large number OF representative
captains OF industries have had sew
eral meetings IN New York and have
virtually assured the War Council
that their corporations Will take the
action suggested.
II was questioned, by them, whether
IL would be proper. or even legal. for
the corporations themselves TO sub
scribe TO the Red Cross fund but each
thought that the stockholders would
welcome an opportunity 20 subscribe
in this way
One detail Of the plan provides that

holders shall receive notices OF tho
dividend with the request that they
sign a release authorizing the com
panies 10 pay directly 10 the treasury
OF the Red Cross. Where stockhold-
ers insist they Will. OF course. receive

OF this dividend TO the Red Cross IS
