New York Herald:
Wednesday was the day--of finish
for several persons whose attitude
upon questions vital to this war has
aroused resentment on the part of
Americans of the one. hundred per
cent brand. Peeping through the snow
of ballots that cover the rest of their
bodies are the toes, turned upward
of big Bill' Thompson and tom
billy" Hardwick while somewhere
further down will be found the mortal
remains of Georgia's pet Bolshevikist.
Tom Watson. Wednesday was a fine
day for this country.

"I thought you would never get here," he said. and there was feverish impatience in his manner. T came as soon as I could," I re- turned gently.

MADGE KENNEDY
 AT THE LYCEUM

Those who saw Madge Kennedy yesterday were well pleased with her latest success, "The Fair Pretender".
 In this picture New Britain's favorite, Tom Moore, is seen as Miss Kennedy's leading man. The Fair Pretender' is a play of action and it's plot is diff
 ferent from any in which Madge Ken
 nedy has hitherto been involved. Her
 role is that of a stenographer with
 aspirations for a stage career. h.
 spired by play she resolves to break
 into society. She assumes the name
 of Mrs. Brown, a fascinating widow.
 She meets a young man who falls in
 love with her. Then her supposed
 husbands come on the scene. From this startling complication develops a chain of exciting adventures which include the theft of government pa
 pers from the home she is visiting. How she retrieves them and brings the spy to justice; and is taken to the hearts of the very people she hood winked, and how she wins a real hus- band-th1s is the end brought about in highly dram attic manner. All in all. Madge Kennedy Is seen at her best in this production, and the pub lie will confirm all over again the predictions made for this piquant lit tie star by Americas foremost crit ics. The same program includes g. very amusing and enjoyable vaude- vile bill. Hinkel and May, certainly are clever comedians, and Billy Sheath, the Barefoot Boy, is cer- tainly an extraordinary good enter tainer, also kale and Coyne are good comedy jugglers. The latest one of the famous series, "The Son of De- mocracy' is also one of the attrac- tions at the Lyceum. Douglas Fair banks, the athletic and acrobatic star will appear in one of his new pie lures Thursday. Friday and Satur- day. This is the greatest he has ever

A FOOL THERE WAS'
 AT FOX'S TOMORROW

Gladys Hulette and Creighton Hale co-stars ill For Sale" together with other short subjects are the attrac- tions at F'ox's theater today
 Why cant science evolve some scheme, some sure shot way by which a trusting maiden may know before- hand if the object of her affections is worthy? If there was g way, For Sale", the gripping Pathe photoplay. would have never been written Fred Jackson, who has a score of screen success to his credit, wrote For Sale, with Gladys Hullette and Creighton Hale, as co-stars. The whole trouble lies in the fact that the man with whom the heroine believes herself in love is e1 pretty gay sort of a deceiVer. And the girl makes the supreme sacrifice of marrying d man she doesn't love 8 bit--or thinks she doesm' ito obtain money to send her deceptive lover to a climate where he may regain his health. For Sale' presents very interesting problem, with the justification for the girls action coming with a punch at the end. It is distinctly worth sec ing.
 Tomorrow Theda Bara, the greatest
  version of her best vampire produce ton, "A Fool There Was. It was this stirring screen drama, one of the greatest dramas ever screened, by the way, that brought Miss Bara to tho forefront of screen artists and 1t was her sterling acting of the role of Sa- tan's ally that started the vampire craze in motion pictures. The story is an intensely human one, and the staging of it is superior to many of the present day productions. This sensational play, "A Fool There Was is one of the most successful of the century, and for years was a starring vehicle for Robert Hilliard. Edward Joe, the former leading man with Sarah Bernhardt, masterly portrays the ''Fool' who forSakeS family and friends for a soulless, sensual creature in the guise of a beautiful woman. Theda Bara, of course, is cast as the "Vampire", one of the most fascinating, though reVolt1ng female characters ever created.
 Miss Bara's interpretation is re- markable for intense dramatic real ism, while her wonderfully seductive beauty serves to enhance the illusion created by her art. Her gowns in this production were designed by the leading cOStumcrS of her native Paris. "A Fool There Was will only be shown at Fox's for one day, so patrons should avail themselves of this opportunity to sec what Ashton Stevens of the Chicago Examiner pro- nounced the most intensely dramatic and blood-stirring photodrama ever presented"

package has been reduced so that it really has gone up in price more than some which actually have changed the price but kept the size of the package the same.
 One Should Take Advantage Of Quan-
 tity Buying.
 Having the net quantity thus clear ly printed on the outside of all pack ages, is an advantage which I do not think we make full use of. Not only should it be used in comparing val ues, but in deciding what size jar or package to buy. Usually. the larger quantity is sold for a worth while saving.
 Value Difficult to Measure.
 The matter of quality is, of course, a good deal harder to determine There are no scales or measures by which to weigh and measure it, eX- cept the measures of experience and the scales of judgment. But no just and thrifty buyer will hastily and thoughtlessly compare prices without at the same time trying to consider the matter of values.

An acquaintance of mine was boasting about a set of dishes which she said she had gotten at a great bargain.
 She told, proudly, how another shop was advertising a set of the same dishes at five dollars more the set.
 Someone asked how many dishes her set included. She told the num- Der. But the set they are adVertis- ing at Ms has eight of everything in it," he pointed out. T happened to notice, because my wife wants some dishes for her summer cottage" The bargain gettcr's set had only six of each article The difference in num- Der just about cancelled the differ encc in price.
 The incident interested me greatly because it was typical of the careless way in which we compare prices without being careful to compare values and quantities at the same time.
