I W O UNUSUALLY ' ATTRACTIVE FILMS FOR MOVIE PATRONS
Norma Talmage in "The Secret'-Warren Kerra- gin and Lois Wilson
 in Turn of Card"

Two extraordinary screen attract tions, Norma Talmage, in "The Secret" the approximation at the Trianon the atre, beginning Monday to continue all week, and Warren Kerrigan and Lois Wilson. in "The Turn of Card,' the ultra attraction at the Rialto the atre for one week, beginning today, will be presented to local theatre goers.
 These two attractions are regarded as the best recently seen in Birming ham. In '"The Secret" Norma Talmage herself declares this is her screen tri : umph, and it is a production that pleases old and young, rich and poor, and inCfact everyone.
 In this picture Norma Talmage por- trays a role in which mother love is the supreme issue. With her depth of feeling her extraordinary mobility and the ease with which she can ster, from pathos to fun she makes of Tessibel, the squatter's girl one of the most compelling figures in fiction. The action in this picture hinges on the ancient feud between squatter and landlord. It is human and absorbing in the intensity of it's appeal against class prejudice and throws the search light of cold justice full on the nar- row. unprincipled tactics of the self righteous capitalist The sanctity of

Diseases Blamed on Beasts

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Although animals are not affected by the sicknesses and communicable dis eases of man, yet, for some unexplain- able reason, the scientists and physic- ians declare that a whole host of oft times fatal ailments of mankind are traceable to the beasts. The horse is blamed for spreading glanders, rabies, lockjaw and other diseases of five or more syllables. Dogs and cats are branded as the circulators of rabies. parasitic worms of different kinds, fleas and ticks. The COW is the worst offender. The list of diseases laid at her barn door is headed with tuberculosis and grows constantly more blood curdling, untilswe wonder why physicians and scientists consent to the use of milk, butter and cheese which still lead the dietetians' list of nutritives.
 Rats, squirrels and fleas spread the bubonic plague. We are prepared to believe that lice and hedbugs, flies and mosquitoes are the rapid transit lines for yellow fever and malaria. We are willing to forego the luscious oyster all the year round, if need be, to avoid ty phod fever. It will go hard with many of us, though, if the fish-day diet must be cut out on account of the possibility Of tapeworm which the scientists say fish food carries.

 Tl use of your calling me your

You can't expect me to lie here quiet in this bed and never say a word when my heart Is breaking, can you, sir? Alas, MT. Caudle, I suppose you will rejoice when my poor, tired body is laid under the ground and that Tattletale mink has the field! Don't lie to me, sir; you'd marry her in weeks time' knowing as you do that she doesn't care rap about you and that you are old enough to be her father.'

Can. you stay quietly there, sir, and ask such as asin- inc question? You know perfectly well what I'm alluding to. You ought to be a very rich man, MT.

vicarious Courtship in Russia

Nevin o. Winter, in The Christian Her
 aid.
 Marriage usually takes place at com- paratively early age among Russian peas ants. Courtship occurs in the spring and marriage follows in the fall. A man, a woman and a horse make a household The man can purchase the horse If he has the mercenary wherewithal, but ob- taining wife is little different. Gen. erally a matchmaker, who may be an aunt or other relative, is employed, who looks over the eligible young women of the village. When an eligible girl is found. her relatives are invited to come to the young mans house and see for themselves his family and home. Then. if they are satisfied, the groom -to-be' s family are invited to return the call.

The groom will pay a certain sum to buy the brides trouseau, but her dowry may be only health and pair of strong arms to do her share of the work. The weddings are comparativel simple, but the wedding feast often lasts for two or three days. if money and eatahles are in sufficient quantities. The newly married couple are showered with hops, instead of the rice of the Anglo-Saxon.
 The Russia of the future will be . great country. For the present, 1t does not hold out much prospect at a time when a cohesive government Is needed When the United States and her western allies are centering power in the central government, Russia is disentegrating and becoming impotent But the peasant will develop and come to his own at some time in the future.
