the pleasure of seeing them dig into

allowance was one slice per man. The
late ones received very small slices.
AS each Tommy got his share he inn

Pretty soon about fifteen of them made

a huge slice of bread. These slices
they dipped into the bacon grease

sandbagged parapet. I reached for it,
and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered
Don't fire" He challenged in low
voice. The reply came back instantly
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot; do you want us to click
it from the Boches?"
Later we learned that the word, mo

A few months later met this sentry

"crucified," he had never failed to pass

that falling to pass the word down

BEST THEATRE.

Ethel Barrymore in "An American Widow will be shown at the Best thea tre today. In "An American Widow, Metro presents Ethel Barrymore in a comedy drama of unusual merit. The role of the rich Mrs. Carter is one well bcfitting the talents of this actress, and, combined with an interesting story, it is as good photoplay as has been offered patrons for long time Ie runs along in an amusing vein and registers with telling effect. Irving Cummings. Charles Dickson, Alfred Kapple, Ernest Stallahrd, Dudley Hawley and Pear Brown are members of the cast. The direction is by Frank Reicher.
 The story: Mrs. Carter, known as the American Widow, plans to mar ny the Earl of Detminster, when she learns that in order to retain her in- heritance her second husband must be of American birth. She decides to marry an American, divorce him and then marry an earl, and Jasper Nal lory is called upon to be the second husband. During the divorce pro- ceedings. Mallory and Mrs. Carter both seek seclusion and happen to sell ect the bungalow of friend. Thrown together constantly. they learn to love each other, and when the decree is granted, Mrs. Carter decides she would rather marry Mallory than the earl, The picture was shown at the Boston theatre, Chicago last week.

WHAT WILL SOLDIERS
 AT ARMY CAMPS SEE?
"Smileage' Will Satisfy Mems Desire for Comedy, Vaudeville and
 Concerts,

The men in the camps have a particular craving. They want to see shows" In the evening they are tired; they are sometimes very lonely; they want to laugh; and they want regular" performances. If there are to be any amateur per formances they want to be in them, not merely looking at them.
 Four comedy companies are al ready assigned to this new field. They are Broadway organizations, presenting accepted Broadway suc- cesses-"Turn to the Right" Cheat ing Cheaters::" Here Comes the Bride," and Inside the Lines
 Four vaudeville bills have been as sembled by General Manager E. F. Albee of the Keith circuit. Their routings will be arranged, of course, so as to prevent an unvaried sue cession in any camp of any one kind of entertainment.
 In the regiments are scores of pro fessional actors and vaudeville per formers. The men manifest special interest in seeing their own com rades on the stage. So there are to be regular amateur productions, be- tween the professional offerings, that the men may have part in the enterprise and-of much more inn portance-that when they have gone to the front they may be able to pro- vide suitable programs for them selves.
 It is for this that "Smileage" books will be sold in Pine Bluff and throughout the country next week. The books are to be sent to soldiers in the camps, the coupons paying the admission fee of from 10 to 25 cents for the attractions that cost civilians 50 cents to $5.

Dandruff Surely
 Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful. glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. ss You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.
