AIR NITRATE PLANT
TO BE ERECTED AT MUSCLE
SHOALS IN ALABAMA. WILL
BE WORLDS GREATEST.

The air nitrate plant to be built at
Muscle Shoals in Alabama will be the
Sargest of its kind in the world. Moth
ing on earth will touch it for size or
output. Germany, with all her boasted
progress in the fiXation of nitrogen, has
nothing that will equal in immensely
the government air nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals.
President Wilson has signed the bill
which calls for the expenditure of $780,
100000 in this vast and wonderful UNI
dertaking. This is beyond the great
est dreams of those who had hopes Of
seeing the gigantic water power of the
| Tennessee river harnessed for the fiXa
, ton of nitrogen.
The fondest hopes held a few months
ago were that the government would
spend $2O,OOO.OOO in this project. At
! ter untiring work this bill was finally
PASSED. But that was before this
country entered the war Now within
few weeks time a bill is passed by
congress and signed by the president
calling for the expenditure of 100000
coo in this colossal project.
Great concrete dams will be thrown
across the Tennessee river at the Mus
/ Gle Shoals, backing up millions of tons
of water for miles and obtaining more
than 10000 horse power. No such
horse power is possible anywhere else
in America except Niagara Falls.
The air nitrate pnalt will make us
absolutely Independent of Chilean nj
trates either for ammunition or ferti-
Ilizer The new plan will furnish all the
nitrates needed for our navy and our
armies and supply millions of tons to
the farmers of America.
Not only that, but with immense de
posts of phosphate rock a little fur

CHARLES RAY AT THE
 LYCEUM THEATER

With every chance in the world for success, having inherited count less millions and a strong physique from his paternai parent, Charles Ray still insists that he is an incur able drunkard-and proceeds to dem ODstrate the fact notwithstanding that science declares him absolutely immune. It all happens in his new est Paramount picture, The Family Skeleton' in which he will be seen at the Lyceum theater for the last time today. How his dainty sweet heart succeeds in curing him in spite of himself has been humorously shown in the photoplay which was directed by Victor l.. Schertzinger under the supervision of Thomas II. Ince and which boasts a splendid cast including Sylvia Bremen, Andrew Ar buckle, Billy Elmer, Otto Hoffman and Jack Dyer.
 A prize tighter whose sole conver- sational asset is the terse phrase Let's Co.,; chorus girl; a million aires son; a domincering old valet; these and many others make up the amusing cast Sylvia Bremen plays the leading feminine role in support of Mr. Ray while clever Billy Elmer is the cN-prize fighter.
 The vaudeville is past the standard and is fully appreciated as can be seen by the crowded houses and ap- plause given. Tonight is the last chance to sec these worthy enter tainers and your favorite Charles Ray.
 AS usual Sunday night pictures will be top-notchers with two big features and comedies thrown in for good measure.
 The Lyceum orchestra is reserVing special music and to show their ap- preciation of the Lyceum's patrons, the house is going to give the music lovers of New Britain a rare treat, having secured the renowned and celebrated cello player of Boston, Ce- ella Pond, who will render various selections and also playing with the orchestra.
 Cecilia Pond has played at a num- Der of concerts and her playing will be enjoyed to the utmost by those who hear her.
 There will be continuous show today so take advantage of it and do not fail to see as good a bill as ever was seen at this theater.

Her very hnSertips expressed the loathing with which she regarded them. Indeed, mo-" I replied forcibly. T wish 1 didn't have to- she said regretfully, but I don't dare throw away this piece of evidence against her. Yet I can promise you there won't be any publicity given to it. Probably no one but myself and one other person will ever see it. She folded the sheets and put them away in her handbag. Thus endeth another chapter she said. Let's not think of the Draper article again until we fhave to- Coming to my side she bent over me and her manner held tender WiStful- ness.
 You're sure there isn't any finger ing doubt in your mind about Dicly, Madge?" she asked. I hesitated for a moment or two, sea rching my own soul to be sure that l was truthful in my answer Then with a sudden realization of the big hearted loyalty of the woman beside
 
 that was hers, SO much broader and clearer than mine, I banished every vestige of suspicion from my mind.
 "If you are satisfied, I am, dear friend" I returned. Your decision is good enough for me-
 She kissed me tenderIy.
 "Something tells me that you will be very glad, indeed, some day-and that not far away-that you have given Dicky your loyal belief in spite of this evil contrivance to deceive you"
 There was a solemn note in her voice, a look in her eyes that aWed me. I have come to have an almost superstitious belief in Lillan's psy- chic powers. She is positively clair voyant at times.
 "Change of Thought
 A little, shivery fear clutched at my heartstrings. Was Dicky in some dan ger of which I didn't know, and had Lillian's telepathic nature sensed it? I was almost ready to believe anything, so unstrung was I by the ordeal through which I had just gone.
 I fairly jumped at the light tap that sounded on the door. It was a knock I knew-that of the nurse who at tended the wounded officer down the
 
 corridor.
 Lillian glanced at me sharply.
 1T hope you're needed in the other room," she said "I think I shall send you over, anyway. You need a change of thought"
 The nursei said a few. low, hurried words to Lillian and then hastenod back down the corridor.
 "Oh, what is it?'' I asked feverishlX. las Lillian came back into the room.
 Jangled Nerves.
 ."N Nothing of any consequence" Iil- lian replied. Your officer is very restless today. and they wish to try the remedy they have found most ef- fective-your soothing presence by his side"
 I knew that Lillian was making jest of the matter in order to quiet my tangled nerves, but there was something about, her words which jared me unaccounta bly.

A letter friend accuses mo of try ing to lead my women readers astray.
 She bases her accusa ton on a little talk l wrote about the masculine idea that it Is dlsagreCablc for a woman to try to prove that she was right in an argument, but perfectly natural for a man to do the same.
 She says that I shouldn't say that women have the same right as men to say I hold you SO, because men don't like women who do that sort of thing, and if my women readers try to do it they will antagonize their husbands. And surely" She concludes, domestic harmony is worth more than always insisting on your rights
 Men Prefer Harmony to Justice.
 That, too depends, Gas I said about the matter of saying I told you so) on the point of view. Men never have any doubt that domestic harmony is much better than justice, and there fore they expect their wives to give up asking for justice and be satisfied with a harmony produced by the use of tact on their (the Woman's) part.
 Women on the other hand some times have doubts about the Su- preme value of that particular kind of harmony.
 Men Always Believe in the Use of
 Tact-By Women.
 It isn't because they don't know that they can keep peace by giving up their points of view, by never dis putting their husbands opinions, by making their pleasures his, and using tact forever and always. They know that. And many of them would be willing to do that as far as the sell fishness required goes.
 But if they did it they couldn't have q thorough respect for the man who would have no more sense of justice than to accept such acquies- cence. And they do wish they could have that respect. They do hate never to be free of a lurking sense of resentment and injustice.
 And so they som metimes do and say things that are absolutely against the code of How to keep your husband s love- And quite often they lose that love because men can always get other women who will use tact.
 Nothing for Themselves.
 And so they gain nothing, flor them selves.
 Any more than most of the people who make some sacrifice for the sake of a principle gain anything for themselves.
 And yet. since the world began, people have made such sacrifices. Queer isn't it?

And all for the love of a girl whom he has found years before-a baby in the snoW-a baby whose mother had died while seeking her husband, in that wild land. Ace High" is a story with many big, powerful scenes, a thrilling man-to-man fight in a UaFkGneO room, a O3r1nS struggle under the ice of the Yukon river, and Tom MiX's daring riding and his ter rife battle for decency and justice and for the moral life of the girl he loves. moving bar, saloon that can shift back from Canada to the United States and back at a few min utes notice, created much amusc- ment.

 "Doctor, I am not sick, but I don't feel right" That is what many say to me when they come to see me the first time. And that just expresses it. You are not sick enough to go to bed You can eat, you can sleep, you can work.
 But you don't work with the vim and zest of former days. Your sleep is not restful, and you don't enjoy your food as you once did. And your nerves get the best of you. Things bother you, ruffle you, that you never noticed before. You begin to see dif-s faculties where there really are none. Trifes worry you, and not having enough troubles of your own, you borrow some. -.a..-
 Of course, to a casual observer, you seem the same, because you are try ing to control yourself. And if you should tell d friend. or go to an in- experienced doctor, they will tell you you only imagine things; you should shake it off. You begin to doubt your self You sometimes think they are right and try to brace up and be bright and cheerful. But then your old feeling will come back with re- newed vigor. You begin to wonder if it really is your mind only. And if 1t is so, is it the first step to insan- ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor turing you; you are trying your best to fight them down, to appear happy. but in vain. You find yourself in the grip of an invisible power that seems to sap your life blood. ~
