HUNS TAKE PAINS
DESTROYING SUGAR
MILLS IN FRANCE

Sugar production in France has
fallen to less than 25s per cent of the
pre-war output. When German troops
retreated from occupied portions of
France they took pains to destroy
virtually all of the sugar mills that
would otherwise have assisted the
French in maintaining their sugar
stocks.
. That first wave of Teuton invasion
was stopped in France after the Ger
mans had established battle line
that cut off 203 of the 213 French
sugar mills, as we'll as much land that
had provided sugar beets. In some
of the German retreats the mills were
left in such shape as to permit their
operation. The official sugar produc-
ton figures indicate the extent of
the destruction, and emphasize the
French sugar needs which must be
filled by American aid.
The year of 1923, 213 French
mills turned out 967, 44O short tons of
sugar. For 1916-17, IS mills produc-
ed only 2O4,405 short tons. To fur
Their complicate the French sugar sit
nation the yield per acre of suar beets
decreased from 1880 short tons per
acre in 1928 to lilo short tons
per acre in 1867. Supplying
France from American stocks saved

stration has announced.

EMPIRE

Comedy holds full sway in "Amar-
lily of Clothes Line Alley" the Arr
craft picture in which stars Mary
Pickford, and which will be exhibited
at the Empire theatre today for the
last four times.
While in every picture presenting
Miss Pickford there has been more
or less comedy and the star has time
and again proven herself a come
dienne of rare ability as we'll as an
actress capable of any height of emo
tional acting, it is said that there has
never before been a Pickford photo
play wherein humor predominated to
such an extent as in this new story
of the slums.
There are many moments of gem
uine pathos and any number of thrills
in the course of the picture, but
laughter will hold sway, overcoming
momentary predisposition to tears.
Throughout the story Our Mary"
winsome, dainty withal, presents a
convincing figure of the little tene-
ment girl straying far afield into the
realms of the idle rich, lured by the
Establishments of a scion of wealth.

vironments, where she finds happi-

WHAT'S GOING ON TN THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Potash and Perlmutter" were good
at any time but in Society they are
positive scream as portrayed by the
Poll Players at the Lyric theatre. A
typical first night audience greeted
them last night, but if the success of
the production depends upon the crit
icism of the spectators a continuous
run of crowded houses will greet the
company at every performance
throughout the week. The lines in
the play are excellent and although
it is built entirely for laughing pur-
poses there is just the shadow of a
plot which holds the interest right up
to the fall of the final curtain.
Harold Kennedy as ABE Potash"
is given ar opportunity of showing
just what he can 90 with comedy
with the proper surroundings. The
part of ABE" is good at any time,
but Mr.. Kennedy adds much to the
role which makes it even better than
the original. AS 'Mawruss Perlmut-
ter Dudley Ayers again scored as he
does in all productions in which he
appears. His accent is almost perfect

points in his acting. Warda Howard,
the leading lady, has but little to do
but she does this so we'll that many
in the audience believe that she is
in their presence all the time. Miss
Carrie Lowe as Rosie" the wife of
ABE" is also at her best, which is
saying a good deal. Miss Lowe is an
ideal type for this part and accen-
tuates it in many respects.
AS usual Ainsworth Arnold is the
villain, but this time his efforts to
do Potash and Perlmutter land him
in Jail Instead of being content with
stealing Perlmutter's money he also
makes an attempt to steal his wife,
RUTH who, however, has his num-

what his scheme against her husband

EAT WHAT YOU WANT
WHEN YOU WANT IT

People who consistently deny
their appetite some particular
dish appealing especially to their
palate, because indulgence has al
ways meant subsequent suffering,
will think this strong statement.
1t is a fact, however, that most
people can, without fear of dis
tressing consequences, indulge the
appetite within reason if the bow
els are active and regular.
Heavy dinners and late suppers
can be enjoyed with impunity if,
before retiring. one will take a
spoonful of DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. a mild combination of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin that
druggists sell for SO cents a bottle.
Gentle in action and positive in eff
feet, it regulates the bowels in an
easy, natural way, without gripping
or other discomfort,and is the ideal
family laxative. Get a bottle of DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin from your
druggist and keep it in the house.
Use it occasionally and you will find
you can eat almost anything you
like without fear of consequences.
A trial bottle can be obtained free
of charge by writing to DR.. w. B.

POLI'S

Americas foremost entertainers
have been brought to the Poll bill
for the first half of this week. At the
big theatre last night the Century Re-
view drew admiration from the big
audience. Tiney Turek, dancer petite,
is as snappy as the New York
papers have credited her with being.
Throughout six scenes she capers
forth with apparent ease although her
work is most difficult. She is ably as
sisted by Eddie Loweree. In the Cen
tury Review there is an innovation
when a male dancing chorus of six
persons is brought forth. In many
respects they are similar to the Amer
lean dancers with the exception that
girls have been eliminated. Their
closing clog number is planned to
evoke patriotism in it's keenest form.
Special features of the screen show
ing are 1.-The Eagles Eye" the special
exposure of German spies in America.
In this weeks episode the activities
of Won Rintelen are made plain, and
there is a vivid scene showing the
destruction of the great stock yards
at Kansas City.
THE Moral Law" latest of the
super-features, starring Miss Gladys
Brockwell, sustained interest and
shows powerful scenes in a most dra
matte manner. Animated news fills
the want of those who read the papers
for more direct touch with the actual
happenings that are reported from
America and Europe.
Rucker and Winfred, funny Negro
and Chinaman, create roars of
laughter, on the speaking stage. De-
witt Young and Sister display clean
cut and novel feats of juggling, hoop
rolling and kindred arts. Sweeney
and Rooney, in nut comedy and dane
ing excel. The Hennings again bring
music dancing and a feast of talk
foremost to amuse and edify.
Polls theatre is assured of large
audiences while this bill runs.
