The Last Word In Advertising

The ReXall people, to our minds,
have reached the limit of efficiency in
advertising They furnish to their
Rexall stores. all over the country, an
outfit for window display, with minute
directions as to its installation. These
outfits are renewed. each week. and
with every one of them comes a mag
niticent layout OF advertising for
newspaper space, which exactly tai
lies with the window display. Both
the display and the advertising are so
timed as to call attention, to goods
exactly in season The whole mat
ter is planned in manner superior to
anything that has previously come to
our attention. Bucknam's is ReXall
Headquarters for Skowhegan. 1t

WESTERN DRAMA AT
LYCEUM THEATER

One of the most interesting and
unique characterizations which J.
Warren Kerrigan, has ever portrayed
is the part into which circumstances
force him in THE Turn of a Card
which is playing at the Lyceum to-
day and tomorrow. Mr. Kerrigan, a
Westerner, according to the story, has
just come East after having accumu-
lated a fortune from his oil holdings.
The daughter of the former owner Of
his "shack", magnificent Long
Island mansion, returns from the war
zone and rather than tell her that her
father is penniless and that the beau
tifuI home is no longer hers, he dons
the chauffeur's livery and drives his
own car as a servant. The dual per-
sonality is continued and Mr.. Kerri-
gan plays chauffeur to himself,
though he has an independent for
tune in the bank, until he and the
girl meet on an equal social basis.
She is astounded-but glad. The rea-
son why, and the results of her hap
piness at the discovery, form an in
teresting part in the plot of THE
Turn of a Card" Real oil wells ac
tually gushing forth their product
from the earth, form scene which
is hard to find and which has seldom
been witnessed by motion picture pa
irons. The vaudeville bill is an ex
ceptionally good one which includes,
Goetz and Duffy in singing and
dancing act lie Roy and Cooper In
a singing and piano offering. The
Thomas Trio in a comedy bar and
rampoline novelty act. There is also
another feature. This is a story full
of interest and thrilling incidents. The
Screen Telegram completes this splen-
did bill.
Thursday brings to the Lyceum the
dainty little star, Vivian Martin, in ga
Petticoat Pilot. In this story Vivian
grows from a pit-tai1ed youngster to
q daintily gowned and stylish young
lady. A charming love story with the
son Of a defau1ting partner of the
three old sea captains, who adopted
her, runs throughout the picture.

VICTORY PROSPECTS
never So bright
But War Is Not Won, Hold Fast,
Says Lloyd George

London, Aug. 6.-"Hold fast" was
the Keynote of a message to the Brit
ish empire issued by Premier David
Lloyd George and promulgated in a.
dramatic way throughout the king
dom last night The message was
read to the audiences in all theaters.
concert rooms and other places where
people were assembled including NOV
ing picture houses.
Sealed copies of the message had
been distributed to the managers of
all these places, with the request that
they open and read it at 9 o'clock
The message follows:
THE message which I send TO the
people of the British empire on the
fourth anniversary Of their entry into
the war is:
Hold fast.
1--WE are in this war for no selfish
ends. We are in it to recover free
dom for the nations which have been
brutally attacked and despoiled. and
to prove that no people however pow
erful, can surrender itself to the law
less ambitions of miIitarism without
meeting retribution, swift certain and
disastrous, at the hands of the free
nations of the world. To stop short
OF victory for this cause would be to
compromise the future of mankind.
'I say hold fast because our pros
poets of victory have never been so
bright as they are today. Six months
ago the rulers of Germany deIiber-
ately rejected the just and reasonable
settlement proposed by the Allies.
Throwing aside the last mask of
moderation, they partitiOned Russia,
enslaved Rumania, and attempted to
the Allies in final and desperate at
tack. Thanks to the invincible BRAY
cry of all the Allied armies, it now is
evident to all that this dream Of uni
versal conquest, for the sake of which
they wantonly prolonged the war,
never can be fulfilled.
But the battle is not yet won. The
great autocracy of Prussia still will
endeavor by violence or guile, to
avoid defeat and so give militarism
new lease of life. We cannot seek to
escape the horrors of war for our
selves bv LAYING them up for our chill
6ren. Having set our hands to the
task, we must see it through till
Just and lasting settlement is
achieved.
TN no other way can we endure a
world set free from war

Of that to careful buying and plan

A Great Big Job.
Women have complained, some
times, that their job was too me-
chanical and required SO little brain
that it was not interesting. AS a
rule, the women who made these
complaints weren't the women who
were making good in the complex
duties of wife and mother and home

Never was any good movement,
any reform of one sort or another

it too far.
The Authorman feels that this has
been done with "Hooyerism."
MY wife, he says, "is always tell
ing me to eat that spoonful Of peas
or finish UP that half potato on my
plate because it isn't conservation to
leave it. Now. if I know that I've
eaten enough, why, I don't think I
should eat anything more just to save
it. 1t isn't saving it, is it, if it over
loads my system and makes me so

A Human Or Tin Crun1b Bucket.
In all of which, I think the Author
man is right. But that doesn't mean
that the potato or the peas should be
put into a tin crumb bucket instead
of a human one.

is not when you find you've got more
than you want to eat on your plate,
but when yeu fill that plate. Gauge
your appetite. Don't let yourself be

anything, than you think you will eat
