EMPIRE

Down on Cape Cod, close to the sea,
there once lived two old sea captains,
zoeth and Shad. Joseph C. Lindoln,
author of many a wholesome, whim-
steal Cape Cod story, first brought the
old captains and their adopted niece,
Mary 'Gusta," to life between the
covers of a bciok, but recently the
Paramount director, Roland Sturgeon,
has given them being in screenland
and all three may be seen at the En-
pire theatre in the Paramount pro-
duction, "A Petticoat Pilot today.
Mary 'G'usta is a fanciful young lady
of some u summers when the story
opens, who, on being left an orphan,
is adopted by the two gruff old cap
tains, She promptly takes them and
| all their affairs in hand and there
after rules them with a rod of iron
and a particularly winsoTne, smile
which she knows how 10 use with
most disastrous consequences to vaunt
the will power of her guardians"
Fast growing to young ladyhood,
Mary 'GuSta at lost loses her heart to
a young Harvard man spending a
isummer at the little Cape Cod town.
This is Crawford Smith, son of the
Icaptain's old partner, who ran away
with the FIRMS money and the wife OF
one of his partners, Captain Zoeth,
who was also the sister of Captain
Shad.

plan Credit FOR
FARMERS THROUGH
FEDERAL RESERVE
Connecticut Men to Get Ben
eft of Plan Worked Out
in Western State.

Connecticut is receiving considera-
BILE attention nationally as the result
of the work on farm credit which
Prof. Guy C. Smith of the Connect
cut Agricultural College has done
during the past few months in CO.
operation with the committee of food
supply, Connecticut State Council of
Defense.
The plan which is now actively in
operation and which has been the
means of securing credit for a num-
Der of Connecticut farmers has been
taken up by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Cleveland, Ohio, and will be
put in operation III the several mid
die western states which this bank
covers. The Iowa State Bankers
a association has also taken up the
credit plan devised by Professor
Smith and is asking the other state
colleges to adopt it and conduct an
educational campaign similar to that
which the food committee and the
state college is carrying on in this
state.
Professor Smiths plan for increas-
ed farm credit is based upon an &C
curate statement of the farm business
as a basis for negotiating loans with
the banks. Although it has been in
operation somewhat less than six
months, it has already found much
favor both with the farmers and
with the bankers of Connecticut
Massa chusetts and other surround
ing states are liable to pick up all
the available garden supervisors this
year before Connecticut gets around
to hire any according to Director H.
J. Baker of the Extension service,
Connecticut Agricultural college, who
discussed the matter with a member
of the Home Gardens Department of
the committee of food supply, State
Council of Defense, today. "Other
states are asking the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural college to recommend men
to act as supervisors said Mr..
Baker, "and if our own people are to
secure enough to do the work in this
state, they must take action very
soon"

Everyone Should

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-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood
while the bowel pc res do, says a we'll
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, glass Of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the

is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C
cumulation of body poisoHs, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it I'D!
