 The pictured version has been handled by true lovers of the story and the mistake of attempting to crowd all of the incidents of the book into one film is not made. Instead, it is planned to present the story in two or more parts. This first section takes the two up to the time of the return of the three boys from their piracy adventure. closing with the ,triumphal entry after they were thought drowned. From the promise of the first picture the following one should be excellent
 The coming of Tom Sawyer" em- subjects are growing in appreciation. The picture is full of clean fun and people found themselves able to laugh at the antics of the youthful hero and his associates without even missing the absence of a custard pie smash. No enc is crowned with a bowl of soup. It is sad to be deprived of the slap stick variety of film comedy" which has so elevated the profession" but the fact remains that producers are beginning te find that the funniest thing in life is not to see a man sit in a bed Of mortar.

BALLOONS ON BOATS
Scientific Americanl

 One more danger is added to the al- ready large list which every U-boat must face in the war zone, the latest being the use of captive balloons on trawlers. These slow moving boats op- erating off the coast of France are now provided in some instances with cap tive balloon which is sent aloft with observers. At a height of thousand feet or more, the observers command a wide stretch of water, and on calm days can see even below the surface of the waves for considerable distance. Submarines in this manner may be spotted and followed.

New War Bonds Are
to Have Short Life, and
Issues Will Be Smaller
By Associated Press

Washington. Nov 20. Govern
ment war bond selling in the future
Will be along distinctly new lines.
Bonds will have short maturfties and
Secretary McAdoo explained to-day
that by this is meant from three to
seven or eight years. In addition,
issues will be smaller than in the
past, and probably will be marketed
more continuously.
War savings organizations through
out the country will assist in plac-
ing the bonds, Mr.. McAdoo said, in
more direct manner than in past
Liberty Loan campaigns. The 4A
per cent. interest rate borne by the
last two issues of Liberty Bouds
may be changed, depending on other
terms of the securities.
Amounts of future issues, interest
rates and time of marketing cannot
be determined for another month or
two, but the heavy ver-subscrip-
ton of the Fourth Liberty Loan with
total of $6.9S9. .047 900. or l6.4S per
cent. more than the six billions
sought, will enable the Treasury to
postpone the next issue longer than
otherwise. 1t still is expected by
spring.
National managers of the War Saw
ings Movement conferred to-day over
plans for further consolidating war
savings and Liberty Loan committees
in each locality in preparation for the
next issue OF bonds.

Drive the Liquor Habit
From Your Home
Can Be Done Secretly.

New YOrk.-Physicians and drug
gists unhesitatingly recommend Tes-
cum powders for the liquor habit in
any form. They quickly destroy the
craving and make whiskey and other
alcoholic beverages repugnant. Drug
glsts will tell you Tescum is selling
better than any other remedy for the
liquor habit. There is a reason for
this. 1t is because 1t gives better
satisfaction. One physician says: II
can stand in the door of my home and
throw stone into neighbor's yard
to whom L gave Tesoum powders for
drunkenness and he was completely
cured. Have also cured large NUM-
ber Of other patients" A druggist
reports: "Tescum is having an enor-
mSqs sale T. td gives reseSfS efHeisnt ptts satis
have used Tescum on my husband
secretly and he has not taken a drink
in three months" Another lady says:
~ only wish l had known of Tescum
before" Here is another who has
tried it: After taking two boxes of
Tescum I did not crave liquor" An
other writes: Il don't think it's ex-
pensive at all. Just think of the
whiskey. The few dollars | spent for
Tescum has been worth thousands"
Here is an extract from another let
ter: "I sent a box of Tescum to my
her husband. Hope she will be as Sue
cessful as l have been, as 1t is Won
derful. / will never tell my husband
what cured him." And so on it goes,
one enthusiastic report after another.
If you have a relative or friend who
drinks, just try it for a few weeks
and note the marvellous change. They
will soon complain that drink does
not taste the same, and in a short
time they will stop altogether and
never know the reason why.
NOTE-A leading druggist, when
shown the above article, said: : Yes.
Tescum is a very remarkable remedy
for the drink habit. 1t is harmless,
wonderfully effective and is having an
enormous sale. l advise everyone who
wishes to destroy the liquor habit to
give It a trial" You take no risk
with Tescum, as it is sold in this city
under a steel-bound money refund
guarantee by all druggists. including
J. Nelson Clark.

Installation of New
Crates to Save Coal
at City Filter Plant

With the installation of new CRATES
and blowers in the boilers at the city
filter plant hundreds of tons of coal
will be saved each year. according
to Commissioner S. f. Hassler, who
yesterday secured permission from
Council to make the necessary i'm
provements.
Four years ago the improved
blower system was installed at the
pumping station and has been giving
satisfactory service there ever since
DR.. Hassler said, saving many tons
of river coal each year. He said that
with the change at the filter plant a
similar savings of much coal and
hundreds of dollars will result. In
the spring both boilers were cleaned
at tke filter plant.
Commissioner Hassler explained to
the other commissioners that it will
cost about S1,S75 to make the
change, but the saving in the amount
or coal used and the fact that no
additional men will be needed when
the new CRATES are in use, will soon
pay for the cost of the improve
ments.

Snow Report Praiscd.-The Pub
lie Service Commission, which heard
argument until late yesterday on the
fire main charges of the Springfield
Consolidated Water Co. in over forty
communities in the vicinity of Phila-
delphia, will probably announce a
speedy decision in the case. The
closing arguments represented the
urgency of the case, as the boroughs

rangements to meet an unforeseen
charge, and the company has $175,-

ment William l. Schaffer, counsel for
the company, declared that the

ing, which was based upon the re-
port Of Chief Engineer f. Herbert
Snow. This report, he declared, had
not been questioned and was one OF
the best of the kind ever made in
the country. Mr.. Schaffer suggested
that the municipalities should ad-
vance assessments to meet the fire
rates, as the new arrangement gave
lower rates for the domestic con-
