PROMOTES WAR LOAN.
Texas & Pacific Encourages Its EN-
ployes to Buy Liberty Bonds.

j. L. Lancaster and Pearl Wight,
receivers of the Texas & Pacific Rail
road, are urging employees of that
road to cooperate with the federal
government in disposing of the Lib
erty bonds of 1917, and in this con-
nection have issued the following ap-
peal:
SIN the present worldwide war in
which our country has become a
dominant factor, it will not be the
privilege of all of us to serve the
colors, but each Of us can and must
assist in some way. We owe it to
ourselves to face this obligation
squarely.
"Vast sums will be needed to prose
cute the war to a successful termlna-
ton and our government is offering
an opportunity to many of us to rem
der service by subscribing to the
Liberty loan of 1917. Of the COM
pany's many thousand employees, at
least half of US can and are, there
fore, obligated to subscribe to this
loan. The bonds will be issued in
denominations of S S 80 asaasssssss
: - ~ s,..ssansgements !. have been made
WITH the Whitney Central Trust q
Savings Bank of New Orleans where
by all employees of the Texas q Pacific
can subscribe for a bond by paying
en- per cent down and the balance
in nine monthly installments of ten
per cent each, the bank to credit the
accounts with interest at rate of three
per cent per annum on payments
made. -,
stAfter completion, the bonds will
be forwarded to the original purchas-
ers. As an aid, the company will
make monthly deduction in its pay
rolls for payments required as above.
/ at is urged that all employees, as
a matter of thrift, self denial. and
above all, patriotism, purchase one OF
the bonds, even though it is OF the
smaller denominations.
Besides making it easy for its en-
ployes to invest in Liberty bonds, the
Texas & Pacific has shown dlsposl,,
tion to dc it's bit in the conduct OF
the great war by offering portions OF
it's right-of-way for the use OF sec
ton men in raising vegetables, pay
ing them haf days wages each week
that this may be looked after, In
addition orders have been issued for
the prompt handling of troops, sup
plies, munitions of war, etc.

"The Crimson Dove"

In "The Crimson Dove" which
will be seen at the Grand Thursday,
Carlyle Blackwell and June Elvldge
are presented in splendid roles that
call for acting ability of the highest
order. The story tells of the infarua..
ton of a young man for woman OF
the theatre. Upon being repulsed by
the woman and>subsequently barred
from his home, the young man com
mits suicide in desperation. Later
his minister meets the woman, VINO
has resumed her real name. The
minister does not know that the Wo-
man is the one for whom his young
parishioner had such an insane m
fatuation; and in time he and the Wo-
man come to love each other. Wnen
the other parishioners discover TINS

to oust the young clergyman he Sc

where he makes good, and the young
woman becomes a school teacher and

"Princess Of the Dark

Enid Bennett, new Thomas H. Ince
star, will make her local debut at the
Gem tomorrow, in an idyllic fantasy
of the Virginia mountains, entitled
Princess of the Dark The story
has for its background the sordid
locale of a mining town, situated in
the heart of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, and it's principal figure is
beautiful blind girl, whose wonder
full imagination makes of her forlorn
surroundings a fairyland of beauty.
The eventual restoration of her sight
means happiness for her, though it
brings tragedy to a crippled boy
whom she had believed in her blind
ness to be her fairy prince.

PATRIOTIC AND SAFE.
Liberty Loan Bonds Good Invest.
ment from Various Viewpoints.

| ment from Various Viewpoints.
| The patriotic nature of an invest
ment in the Liberty loan bonds OF
1917 is something all Americans will
consider. The fact that in purchas-
ing such bond the investor is lending
his money to his governmental his
country-to prosecute a great war,
gives the investment dignity that
| the ordinary investment does not
possess. The uses to which the money
| is to be put, the noble purposes to
which it is to be devoted, all are
things which appeal more or less to
| the American heart.
But let no one be led by these con-
siderations to look on buying a Liber-
| ty loan bond as piece Of benevolence
or merely a contribution to worthy
cause. The Liberty loan bond is as
good an investment as an American
citizen can well make. The rate OF
interest it bears may seem small, but
when it's absolute safety is consider
ed and the fact that it is nontaxabIe,
and the further fact that it is to be
immune from any taxes which later
on may be levied by reason of this
war, and still another fact that In
case the United States government
should later during this war have to
borrow more money and pay higher
rate of interest, the holders of these
bonds can secure bonds bearing that
higher rate-When all these things
are considered, an investment in Lib
ertv loan bonds possesses advantages
that no other investment in the world
possesses.
There is another point which wise
and thoughtful people will give due
consideration to, and that is, an IN
yestment in Liberty loan bonds is ar
| investment in the defense and pre-,
servation Of their other property ano
| all they hold dear-the preservation
| of their liberties. We would be II
danger. if all our citizens refused te
lend their money to the government
of losing all that we have-our prop
erty. our liberties, and our natlona
honor. It has come to this, that We
must fight for these things, and tt
wage war in this day and time re

LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make this beauty lotion eheaply for
your face, neck, arms and hands.

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifer,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem
ons into bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine cloth
SO no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
tion will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freekles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try It'll Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massaae it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. It is
marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.

Irrigation Pumps on the Job.

The river is falling rapidly, and
has already dropped SO low as to
make it necessary for the rice farm
ers to pump water for the irrigation
of their rice. The fall in the river
has come unusually early this year,
due, as some believe, to the absence of
the second rise, which usually gives
us very high water during the month
of May, lasting throughout the
month of June. The early fall this
year, making it necessary for the rice
farmers to begin pumping water
much earlier than usual, will cause
material increase in the cost OF
production of their crop, since the
pumping of water must be reckoned
| very large item of expense in rice
production. But the prospects are
that the crop will command very
good price this year, and the farmers
feel that they may be fully compen-
sated for their extra item of expense
/ by the high price which they antici-
pate for their product.

"a School for Husbands"

"A School for Husbands" which
comes to the Grand Monday, is a
bright comedy. Fannie Ward is the
featured player, in the role of the
economical and plainly-garbed wife
who sees her husband slipping away
from her. When an inheritance
comes her way she begins to fuss up
in real togs-and of course she does
know how to wear them. 1t is no
mere guess that this particular phase
of the picture will have marked in
terest for the feminine portion of the
audience. Certainly there is wide
array of gowns. Jack Dean is the
husband, and Mabel Van Buren is the
dashing charmer who causes him to
dance attendance upon her. Frank
Elliott is a convincing Englishman,
the friend in need of the wife, who
coaches her in the art of training a
husband. 1t is good cast.

Eve Leslie is becoming indolent.
The fortune she has inherited has
made her unwilling to stir about any

Adam Moore, a member of the Ma

fend the country. Eve doesn't want
him to go. She doesn't see any sense
in his going to the front, especially
since he will be away from her and
will not be able to take part IN a
number of parties that have been ar
ranged; INV. sne gifs rown 70 ,rv..a.
One after the other, come before her
the exciting stories of heroines of the
past. Charlotte Walker plays each
heroine in turn.
First is visualized the story of Sally
Wells, who braved Indians and wild
animals to preserve claim for her
family. Sally Wells is followed by
Margaret Brent, whose home was
captured by pirates, bold men who
fought first against her, then for her.
Next follows the thrilling tale of
Molly Pitcher, the famous hoyden,
who manned a cannon at the battle
of Monmouth and turned the tide of
victory against the British.
Eve finishes reading the stories.
Inspired by the heroism of these great
women she conquers the sin of sloth,
cheers Adam as he leaves with his
regiment and follows him to the bat
tIefield as Red Cross nurse. There
she is tested, as We're the brave wo-
men she had read about, and she
proves as true as they had been.

WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND TOLD OPERATION WOULD
 BE HER ONLY HOPE.

CT HAVE just finished my third bot
 | tie of Tanlac and have gained twenty-seven pounds" was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs Charles Peden, residing at 55 Mill street, Huntsville, Ala.
 "When I commenced taking the medicine" she continued, II only weighed ninety-eight (9S) pounds; now I weigh 125 pounds, and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with a bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture, and I was twice examined and each time I was told that I had appendicitis and that an operation would be my only hope.
 T had made all preparations for the operation and called in my sister to tell her good-by, as I did not know whether I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try good tonic for awhile. The next day, as I returned from the consultation room, I thought of what she said, and as I had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to try 1t and got bottle.
 q never returned for the operation, but just kept taking the Tanlac. Right from the start I began to feel better. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once.
 'I was so happy over the wonder full improvement in my condition that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better felt. I sent and got another bottle of Tanlac, and have just finished taking my third bottle and feel as if I have been made all over again into new woman.
