D. w. Grinlth,s .sThe Great Love"

d. w. GrifIith's 1.-THE Great Love"
1.-The Great Love" is story OF
women in wartime, played by an as
founding cast that includes Britain s
dowager queen. 1t bares the very
souls of women in wartime.
d. w. Griffith spent eighteen months
On the war-torn fields OF France Sc
curing scenes of a magnitude hitherto
unknown to the motion picture art.
Coming back to California, he spent
another six months completing the
story
The result of his labor is as big as
a circus, as intimate as a doughboy's
letter to his sweetheart, as wonderful
as a sunrise on the Japan Sea, as beau
tiful as a baby's laugh.
Mr.. Griffth's 1.-The Birth of a Ma
ton" and Hearts of the World were
shown in big theatres at high prices.
You remember them. You know what
"a D. w. Griffith production" means.
In order to get the mighty message
of 1.-THE Great Love" to all Of Amer
lea, Mr.. Griffith is presenting this, his
newest achievement, in the motion
picture theatres first! He wants all
Americans to see what their allied
sisters are doing to help win the war
that we may be inspired to even
greater deeds.
For this reason greatly reduced
prices prevail. Not the $500, $50 or
500 that you usually pay to see a
o. w. Griffith picture.
See it today for the last time.

MAN C0NQUERs
Pain, GIVES HIS
SECRET TO ARMY
By FREDERICK NJ. KERRY.
Staff Correspondent N. E. A.


New York, Nov. S.-Gordon Edwards,
the man who conquered pain, IS
about to place at the disposal OF our
surgeon general his remarkable an
aesthetic.
After four years work on the Brit
ish, Belgian, French and Italian fronts
he has returned to American to con-
suit the medical officials of our army.
In his first talk since landing, he
outlined for me his revolutionary
method of eliminating all pain from
wounds. He does not claim the dis
covery of any new drug or formula,
but simply the perfection of treat
ment, whose wonderful results in the
hospitals abroad gave him the name
of the man who conquered pain"
1.-The anaesthetic consists Of SIM
pie solution of quinine and urea-hy-
drochloride," he said, (which is ap-
piled by means Of a spray in fine
jet directly on the raw surface. The
nerves are deadened within 90 seconds
and the patient feels no sensation at
all when adherent gauze is removed
and the raw surface is dressed.
Worth Is Proven.
MY plan has been to go where ac-
ton was most intense, for there /
found the sort of wounds I wanted
to use in demonstration. Thus was
at Verdun, at the Chemin dies Danes,
at Gorilla, when the Austrians were
only three-quarters of a mile away,
and with the Italians through their re-
treat.
THE elimination OF pain from thu
alone has saved many lives.
Terrific pain is almost always accom-
panied by what is known as shock,
md a condition of collapse which pre-
vents the patient from eating, sleeping
)r convalescing naturally. His vital
ty is therefore lowered. sometimes
o a point from which it is impossible
'or him to rally. and SO recovery is
greatly retarded or the patient does
lot get well. Furthermore. pain pre-

Sacrifices Steadily Come.

Sacrifices incident to the war are
surely and steadily coming to our
people, those who are called upon to
give bone of their bone for the de-
fence of our country being the first
to make any real sacrifice. The home
circles that have been broken through
out the county by calls from the gov
eminent are feeling the war as no
others are feeling it.
Another way in which sacrifices
must be borne is the taking Of men
from the farms at the very height
of the cultivating season. There are
scores and scores of farms that will
bear heavy loss. 1t was with the
greatest reluctance possible that the
local board issued the call to these
men, those who are to be indicted
into service Friday and Monday. Not
a farm laborer was ordered by the
board to report for duty until expli-
cit and emphatic orders were received
to that effect. The board had no OPP
ton or alternative. It had to obey
orders or be courtmarshalled.
However, we should all take a
philosophic view of the situation as
these sacrifices are visited upon US.
We are at war and the interests of
the individual must be s~ubordinated
to the interests of u common coun-
try. In other words, to use a common
expression, everything else must be
side-tracked for the war. When we
are called upon to make sacrifices in
any way for the good of u cause
let us make it p%atriotically and brave
ly. The greatest sacrifice in a ma
terial way that our people have been
called upon to make is not one-tenth
what our Allies in Europe have had
to bear. However bad it is with US
it could be infinitely worse.

A Hard Luck Story.

His old horse died and his mule went
lame
And he lost his COW in a poker game.
A cyclone came one summer day
And blew his house and barn away;
Then an earthquake followed to
make it good
And swallowed the ground where the
house had stood;
And then the Tax Collector came
around
And charged him up for the hole in
the ground.
