Julian E'ting in his second screen appearance may be said to be even more successful than he was in the first--and "The Countess Charming was good picture. "The Clever Mrs. CarfaX" has a clever plot and lot of real interest. This Lasky subject w9s written by Hector Turn bull and Gardner Hunting, the latter being respons;ble for the scenaro. They are rescrving of praise for their work. It is rare example of story being written around certain player and being cut to fit his measure
 The writers have put pep into their subtitles.

Monlay morning and penetrated the
German lines for about two-thirds Of
a mile on a 6OO-yard front in the Bel

The Germans in the center Of theiI

the villages Of Merry. Bclloy and st
Maure and also pressed forward and
gained a footing in the village o.
Marqueglise, the last named place
representing the deepest point Of pen

The battle is described by CORE

Bridging the Gap
From Steer to Steak
Live stock is raised ON tho
farms and ranches of the West.
Meat is eaten in the large cities
of the East, and by our boys in
France - thousands Of miles
away.
The day of transporting live
animals from ranch to seaboard
and overseas has passed. There
was too much waste. The mod
ern packer locates his large and
specialized plants in the produc-
ing regions. He ships the dressed
beef in refrigerator cars, and
holds it i'm his own refrigerated
branch warehouses until deliv-
cred to the retailer. For ship
ment to foreign ports, he
transfersthe meat to refrigerated
ships.
BY means of his nationwide organ
ization the modern packer maintains a
continuous flow of meats to all parts
of the country, 50 that each retailer
gets Just the quantity and quality of
meat his trade demands, and at the
time he wants It.
Swift & Company recently shipped
1000 carloads Of meat products in one
week to our Armies and to the Allies.
Bridging the gap from ranch to con-
sumner can be done successfully
at low unit costs and profits only by
large business organizations.
Swift & Company's profit on meat,
always so small as to have practically
no effect on prices, is now limited BY
tho Government to about z cents on
each dollar Of sales.

PHTH|S|S FIGHTERS
!. OPPOSE RAW MILK
Association Calls for Ordinance Re-
quiring Pasteurization Of
Supply.

: In drive against the use Of ordi-
nary commercial raw milk and cream
because of health dangers, the direc-
ftors of the association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis Of the District
of Columbia at their meeting last
i night. adopted resolutions urging the
Commissioners of the District to issue
a regulation for the classification of
all milk and cream sold in the District
in accordance with standards APP
proved by sanitarians and experts Of
the Department of Agriculture.
Protests were likewise made against
the practice. which is said to exist, OF
using raw milk and cream as food for
infants and invalids in certain hos
pitfalls naWashington. The association
directors hold that sthe danger from
uncertified raw milk and cream Is
greatly increased when the ordinary
commercial product is given to the
sick, whose vitality is low, and to
young children, who are known to be
particularly susceptible to infection"
Both protests are embodied in one
resolution. 1t says that "epidemlcs
of diseases have been traced directly
to the use of raw milk and cream as
food" and that 1t has been definitely
proved that the proper pasteurization
of milk makes 1t a safe article of food
without reducing its digestibility or
nutritive value"
The use Of raw milk and cream for
patients in certain hospitals is depre-
Gated and the resolutions on the sub
ject of hospital milk indorsed by the
ASSOCIATE May 1. 1913, are reaffirmed.
The resolutions close with an indorse-
ment of the efforts of Emil Berliner
to have an ordinance issued by the
Commissioners providing for the clas-
siflcation of milk and cream sold in
Washington.
