Broadway Jones" at the Coliseum Is a Knockout.

George M. Conan. whose reputa ation preceded him to Juneau. proved a real knockout at the Coliseum last night in Broadway Jones'" AS a stage pro- duction Broadway Jones' moved with speed and great doings. As a film production nothing is lost. George M. Conan and his great ability is seen in every foot of the five reels and this great comedy made them laugh a. plenty last night and the titles forced the laughing if the comedy didn't.
 Conan moves all the time. His lively action is refreshing and every char acter is right up to the minute. Mar garet Snow. well liked here, is in the cast. The various cabaret scenes take well and the rances are certainly novelty acts.
 Broadway Jones" is on tonight and tomorrow.

Pauline Frederick Is q Hit at the Dream.

''The Woman in the Case" presented at the Dream yesterday and on for two more nights, is play that draws out every bit of versatility in Pauline Frederick. It probably is her ideal for it enables her to use her highly de- veloped power of what is technically called transition of expression. From laughter to anguish, her beautifully molded features faithfully photograph her moods in the maelstrom of cha otic tragedy.
 The principals with Miss Frederick are all good and the cleverest bits of intoxication acting yet seen here on the screen is that of Marie Chambers. This photoplay tells the story of the frenzied roads wife takes to defend her husband from prosecution for mur der.

Actor to Advise Screen Aspirants.

William Farnum. who Is starring in William Fox pictures. is going to write a book, to be called My Friends Little Daughter and the reason for it is that the actor must do something to stop people from pestering him with requests for motion picture ca- reers.
 According to Farnum. those who ask seldom ask for themselves. It Is all ways that they wish to recommend their friends little daughter. who looks like Mary Pickford and acts like Bern hardt. And it usually turns out that they wear curis and want to start in with leading parts. Then there are also those who have made a failure of everything else. and feel that their real vocation is before the camera.
 Although most of these people are quite without funds. Farnum finds that they are never grateful for extra parts. which would furnish them with bread. but expect immediate recognition of their wonderful talents. At any rate. My Friends Little Daughter will con- tain some sound advice to screen as- pirants.

A woman has been arrested in Lon
don charged with living luxuriously
by looting funds she collected, under
the guise of lady of rank and for
tune, for the suffering soldiers of the
war. Such grafters belong in the class
of ghouls, and no punishment seems
too severe for them. Yet those willing
to profit by the sufferings of others,
even to the extent of increasing or
prolonging those sufferings, are, un-
happily, found always in every great
misfortune which can happen to the
race.

No Fihh-Mo Flies!

Flies and filth 90 together. No filth,
no flies! About the only good thing
you can say about the fly is that his
presence should stimulate you to hunt
up the place where he was born and
destroy It 80 that 1t may breed no
more of his kind
Fly swatting may be a popular pas
time. 1t has been talked about much.
So Tar, It has proved ineffective. The
well-meaning person, applying the
swatter at every opportunity, kills one
fly at time. The removal of the con.
tents OF single manure box will swat
millions Of them at a blow.
Screens and swatters are good
thing, but clean neighborhood is the
best. Get busy!

HOUsEFLY NESTS IN

KILL HIM
4 Fss11E~ 'lsa;s,'

The housefy is foul and dangerous
little pest. The female lays her eggs
ID manure, in human excrement or u
the flesh Of dead and rotting animals
meyer Anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggQls and the maggots feed on
the filth until they sbrout wings and
becofiie flies. The flies swarm into
our homes, bringing with them the
germs of many diseases-especially
typhoid, CONSUMPTION and ayss4tery
which they deposit on our food. -
Many Of our homes were saddened
las. yesI by death resulting from dis.
eases Spread BY fiies. Thefefofe the
-housefy Is our deadly enemy and we
ought & HI. him 2g % far as possible
before warm weather comes. To DO
this effectually will require the coop
Grafton of the whole community.
Cleanliness, generally speaking, is the
fy's greatest enemy, but if one man
cleans up his place-removing all
barnyard fifth, keeping garbage cans
covered, etc.-and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit, the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease. --.'''-ee''ss"'''-- = '-'-------.
This war on flies is a job for the
whole town, and it Is big one. It is
suggested that our local authorities or
some OF our active citizens call meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination.
Let us enlist the aid of the health Of
ficers, the physicians, the merchants,
the lawyers, the mechanics, the womi
en- and the boys and girls. NeS - ~.
1t will be necessary to have a mum.
ber of committees to look after the
many angles of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
the fly is ineffective-you only kill
one fly at a swat. But If you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents Of outhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime, 80
that fly eggs will not hatch in these
masses, you prevent the birth of mil.
lions of flies.
The state board OF health will be
glad to send US all kinds of informa-
tion helpful In carrying on fly war,
II our local doctors have none on hand.
After the campaign organization is
formed, about the first thing to do is
to get reliable information and put It
in the hands Of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?

The establishment of an American

the attention of the department of COM
merce by the officers of the company,

has been occupied heretofore by for
eign camphor. American consumers
have been depending upon importa-

ended June, 1915, amounted to 1885,
1873 pounds, valued at $l,421,122. The
possibility of developing American
manufacture to large proportions is
emphasized in communications from
the American Camphor corporation,
which is operating factory ip Phila-

Wandering to and fro,
Moves the moonflowers, like q ghost

A remembered face;
Every sill and panel wears
A familiar grace.
Let the windows smile again
To the morning light
And the door stand open wide
When the moon Is bright.
Let the breeze Of twilight blow
Through the silent hall
And the dreaming rafters hear
How the thrushes call.
Oh, be merciful and fond
To the house that gave
All its best to shelter love,
Built when love was brave.
Here we came when love was young.
Now that love is old
Never let its day be lone
Nor its heart a-cold
