CAN LEARN TO LIKE TASKS
Quality Once Acquired, Many Men Will Find Their Life Take on
 Brighter Hue.

It Is a remarkable fact that most men are engaged in occupations that they dislike. We know many a doc tor who would far rather be an author, and by the same token, we know some authors whom we would like to be doc tors or something else. There are statesmen who alway1 wanted to be blacksmiths, and blacksmiths who wanted to be statesmen. In many in- stances they could trade and the coun- try would be the gainer.
 But that's neither here nor there. The thing to be considered is that we can make life a whole lot easier by learning to like tasks that we now do not like. It can be done, strange as it may seem. Many a man has learn ed to like to play croquet or to eat greens. There are instances of men who actually fell in love with their wives.
 It will not do to merely assume a grin-aDd-bear-it attitude toward the unpleasant task. Eat 1t up. Go at it as though there were not half as much fun in doing anything else in the world. You will then certainly discover that you were not nearly so badly off as you thought you were.-Los Angeles Times.

POLES

One of the best bills ever presented at Polls theatre vii have it's closing performances this afternoon and to- night, so that those of the Pot pa irons who have not been fortunate in seeing either Sporting Life" the great Drury Lane drama which is the fea- gram headed by Rosalie Stewards mammoth musical comedy act What Girls Can Do'' will have opportunities left for doing so,
 The Bush Brothers, create roars of laughter with their extremely funny trampoline offering and introduce many new stunts. Marion Harris, one of the most charming singing comed- fans Is another big feature on the bill.
 Tomorrow evening at six and eight, is the first showing of the great Flor ence Reed master picture Wives of Mem, It will be supported by a program of comedies, battle pictures, news of the world and an augmented orchestra. The story of Wives of Men" is one that is full of tense situ- ations and heart interest.
 Wives of Men" will continue to head the picture bill at PolPs Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and on Thursday the headline place will be taken by D. W. Griffith's greatest and latest picture "The Greatest Thing in Life" One of the big vaudeville fea- lures in addition to the big musical comedy act will be Ed Lewis and Hank Durnell, two local boys who have made themselves famous with the Barnum and Bailey circus. They have a new act and Bridgeporters will have the honor of their debut in vaudeville.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa- tion, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy acid stom- ach you must 1oathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a we'll known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa ter with a, teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get a. quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. Ii is inexpensive and almost tasteIess Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing. sweetening and pur- flying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels Adv.

AMAZON LEGEND IS GREEK
Stories of Wonderful Feats of War. like Women Had Their Origin
 In That Country.

When Russian women, following the revolution which deposed the czar, took up arms in behalf of their coun- try, it seemed that the ancient Greek myth of the Amazons was close to realization. The legend of the Ana zons was a favorite among the Greeks, who loved to weave stories of the wonderful feats of these warlike women.
 According to the legend the Ama- zons, who were irresistible in war, lived on the shores of the Black sea. The first Amazons were women whose husbands had all been killed in war. The widows decided that marriage was a condition of servitude, and de termined to have no more of 1t. So they trained themselves in the use of arms and became the terror of their masculine neighbors, according to an article in the Peoples Home Journal.
 Three famous queens of the Ana zons are mentioned-Hippolyt who was conquered by Hercules; Penthe- silea, who was slain by Achilles while aiding the Trojans; Thelistris, who visited Alexander the Great, accom- panied by three hundred of her war riors.
 The Amazon river was so named be- cause early Spanish explorers who were floating down that great stream believed they saw a race of women warriors on the land bordering the river,

LYRIC

Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone,' isl an old saying but even those who weep will be unable to control their laughter if they take advantage of the opportunity of seeing that ex- tremely Imaginable farce comedy, Sis Hopkins" which will be presented at the Lyric theatre twice daily next week by the PoH Players. There are persons who have been heard to remark that stock companies are best fitted for dramatic production but evidently they have never seen the oli Players or that opinion would undergo a decided change. Bridge ports resident company of players comprise the most versatile aggre- gation of actors that has been got ten together and comedy, farce or drama appears all the same to them, for success has crowned their every effort.
 isis Hopkins is one of those farce comedies built for laughing purposes and before Rose Melville appeared in this famous production she was practically unknown to the theatrical world. After her first presentation of this wonderfully en- tertaining comedy she sprang into fame over night and since then her name has been heralded throughout the land as one Of the most famous of female comediennes the stage has ever known. Miss Alice Clements, the leading lady of the Poli Players, will be seen in the character of Sis Hopkins" a departure entirely new for her since she came to Bridge port, but that she will be well able to handle it creditably goes without saving. Reservations can be made now and those who intend seeing this Imaginable scream are advised to re- serve their seats at once.
 This afternoon and tonight will see the final presentation of that won derful drama, "The Woman On the Index" which has played to such success the entire week. There are still few choice seats left but the old time motto first come, first serv- ed" will prevail as usual at the box office.
 For tomorrow night the manage ment begs to announce the presenta- tion of Pauline Frederick in that fa- nous picture "LaTosca," as the lead ing feature with one of W. s, Harts wonderful western thrillers second. In addition to this the Mack Sennett funmakers, will entertain, Hearst Pathe weekly will be shown and the Lyric orchestra will give one of its famous concerts. There will be two performances as usual at 6 and o'clock.

PARK

Frank Hunter, the well known com edian ana faYorite in burlesque, will be seen at the Park theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when James E. Cooper's big first edition of '~The Best Show in Town" is to be 4he attraction there.
 This seasons vehicle for this com pany is from the pen of that great comedy writer William K. Wells, who has also composed the lyrics which have been put to tuneful melodiQF The title of tho two-act musical satire is Some Town" and it Is brimful of pretty, kissable girls, lifting melodies snappy dialogue and comedy situa- tions. It has always been MT. Coop CTS ambition to offer the patrons of burlesque an attraction which would be neargr the two dollar show than any other offering in burlesQue and, in the performance which is being of fered by ''The Best Show in Town this season, he believes that he has come nearer accomplishing this de- sire than ever before.
 The entire production has been lav- ishly staged under MT. Cooper's per eonaI direction. The ensemble num- bers are the work of Raymond B. Pe- reg who has come to this country from the Empire Theatre, London.
 In addition to the musical comedy. there will be presented during the action of the play Q number of all star vaudeville acts. These include the Davenports in a novelty posing act and others too numerous to men tion.

PLAZA

Constance Talmadge in "A Pair of Silk Stockings" will have It's last showing at the Plaza today. This picture has met with the approval of all audiences during the past two days and is considered one of the best comedy dramas ever screened. Constance Talmadge is shown in the role of Molly, 'who is married to an English man of wealth. He has wealth, but not the brains, which should accompany it and therefore with his various schemes and ideas to make his wife more affectionate he finally lands in the divorce courts. Later the couple are shown visiting the same friends and another one of the husbands schemes results in him being taken for a burglar while he was hiding in Molly's bedroom. From then on the action is quick and funny, with something happening every minute,

The Street Organ Deserts London.
 It is quite seldom that street organ Is seen or heard in London nowadays, and the very few about are not ground and trundled by an Italian or his wife. The Italians have left their organs and gone to fight their country's battles; their women folk trundled and ground the family organ in London streets un- til air raids decided them to start on country roads. In consequence, the provinces have had. and are likely again to have, more music" than they ever bRrgained for It's an i'll wind that blows nobody any good; at any rate, the children will be of that opin- Ion, but it is to be hoped that the lit tie girls of Soho will not forget how to dance.-Christian Science Monitor

The enterprise upon which you

"The enterprise upon which you have embarked is a hazardous and difficult one. This is not a war of words; this is not a scholastic strug gle It is a war of ideals, yet fought with all the devices of science and with the power of machine. To suc- ceed, you must not only be inspired by the ideals for which this country stands, but you must also be masters of the technique with which the bat tie is fought. You must not only be thrilled with zeal for the common welfare, but you must also be master of the weapons of today. There can be no doubt of the issue"
