AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

When an American inventor of a
ray rifle" which his government has
accepted discovers that his plans have
been stolen by German spies when he
is on his honeymoon, something is
bound to happen, as is abundantly
proved by Dorothy Dalton, the popular
Thomas H. Ince star, in her latest
Paramount picture, THE Kaiser's
Shadow" which will be displayed for
the first time in this city at the Col
onial Theatre tonight.
The story of this thrilling photo
play deals with the operations of Ger
man spies in large American city and
with United States Secret Service
agents who are committed to the ar
duous task of stamping out the men,
ace of German propaganda in this coun-
try. The picture is based upon the
story by Octavus Roy Cohen and j. u.
Giesy which was published as a serial
in All Story Weekly some time ago.
The picture was directed by r. Will
liam Neil, under the supervision of
Thomas II. Ince.
The photoplay is deeply mysterious
in its development and the puzzle is
not unravelled until the final scene.
1t is because of this that only a frag-
ment of the plot should in justice be
divulged, as a full knowledge of the
denouement of the story might tend to
lessen interest in the subject 1t is
sufficient to say that the various situa-
tions are thrilling and that the final

WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY
II There May Be Said to Be Recipe
for Long and Happy Life,
Why, There II Is.

America is anxiously scanning the
casualty lists these days poignantly
sensitive TO the dread possibilities Of
war. Yet, If we paused TO think, we
should find. as the Equitable Life As
surance society has deducted from its
vast experience in mortality data, that
s'worry kills more men than war and
disease put together" We read of those
killed in action, dead of wounds, ac-
cidents or disease at the front, and
our hearts are wrung for the loss of
these brave boys. but day by day a
larger company falls out of our own
ranks here at home to answer the last
call, the Pittsburgh Dispatch observes.
Some are spoken of as victims
of hard work, of oyerexertion, but If
the truth were known, il would be
found il was worry that fastened their
end. Hard work never killed anyone.
II is worry that kills.
A young man, for instance. rises to
the head of a good business or to some
other responsible position. Perhaps
he begins TO slaeken, to ease up a lit
tie, and leaves the details to his sub
ordinates. Things do not move as
smoothly, and. when he wakes up, he
finds he has lost his grip of affairs and
begins to worry. His friends think
hard work killed him, but it was worry
that shortened his years. While he
was fighting his way upward his work
engrossed him, as 1t will any man
capable of career. Work left him no
time for worry. Keep pegging away.
Worry is the grain Of dust that up
sets the fine balance of the human
mechanism, brings loss of power, Slow
ing down the engine and ultimately
racking it TO pieces.
Bear in mind that worry kills more
men than war and disease put togeth-
err" and so shape your life and hab-
ituate your mind that you cannot be

ton is already reduced to minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
fair distribution OF sugar TO the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
sailed.
Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
pins shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as well as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half |:
some viii receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef-
fort 10 preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.

UTILIZE COMBINES OF DOGS
English Women Making Articles for
the Red Cross Service From
Somewhat Odd Materials.

The. picturesque spinning wheel is
coming into its own again in Eng
land, but in certain instances an I'M
usual material is employed to work
upon. The tiny pet dogs, so very
numerous in dog-loving England, are
''doing their bit" Watch the spinner
at the wheel and guess what her soft
and fluffy raw material is? Just
simply the combings of Fido and Fiji,
and host of similar pets. The soft
ness of these combings suggests be-
fore-the-war Shetland, and the wool
produced provides for jerseys, muf-
flers, bed-socks, and operation stock
ings, of which the Red Cross say they
can never have too many. OF course
these doggie combings receive special
treatment before they reach the spin
ming wheel. 1t seems that the use of
dogs hair for wool manufacture is not
new, as a lady In England tells of her
mother having a frieze suit years ago,
the material for which was contrib
uted by a favorite Chow. Gossip has
It in London that only the fear of
looking absurd prevented the wom-
ems branch of the ministry of national
service from instituting scheme for
collecting dogs hair. Perhaps the lit
tie dogs are trying to justify their tiny
lives, in the face of suggestions that
their food is more needed in England
now than their presence.

STAMP OUT THE
SUGAR HOARDERS

Sugar boarding is a thing which
can not be too severely condemned, es-
pecially at a time when assurance is
given that it is not necessary. 1t is a
patriotic duty on the part of any citi-
zen who knows when boarding is being
practiced to report it Immediately to
the nearest local Food Administrator
Since sugar can be so easily hidden
away, good citizens are all the more
duty bound to stamp out. this PERM
cious practice. Local administrators
should secure from merchants their
heartiest cooperation in attaining an
equitable distribution of sugar, both
for the protection of the merchant and
the general public.

HOUSEWIVES RELEASED
FROM WHEAT PLEDGE

Housewives throughout the country
who periodically put thier homes on a
wheatless basis last spring have been
released from their pledges to the
Food Administration to go absolutely
without wheat. This release was
merely from the voluntary pledge to
go entirely without wheat until the
new harvest. Housewives will con-
tinue to purchase the required amount
Of wheat substitute with their wheat
flour. Bakers are still obliged to make
Victory bread, which must contain at
least 25 per cent wheat substitute.
This release of housewives follows

Coming in of the new wheat crop
has made IL possible for the Nation to
go back partially to it's old habits of
eating. But the uncertainties OF war
and the necessity for building up a
food reserve are incentives TO caution,
even in the face of good crop.
The response OF the American house
wife last spring, when the country's
wheat reserves were exhausted and
only the wheat saved by abstinence
could be sent abroad in response TO the
life-and-death appeals of the allies, is
regarded by the Food Administration
as one of the finest manifestations of
patriotic spirit since America entered
the war. Hundreds OF thousands OF
homes went partially or wholly on a
wheatless basis.
