STOP BOOSTING THE KAISER!

Are the American women going to
continue to help the kaiser or will
they help his opponents?
This is the question thoughtful
people are anxiously asking. And
well they may, for on the side that
the American women throw their en-
ergies-on that side will the scales
in all probability tip toward victory.
But" you exclaim, "of course the
American women will help the Allies.
1t is preposterOus to think that they
would send husbands, sons and broth.
ers to fight against the Germans. and
then they, themselves, turn around
and help the enemy"
Yes, we admit, this does sound pre-
posterous. Nevertheless, 1t is the
grim truth. The American women
are helping the Germans very mater
tally. Last August, for instance,
about twenty-one million of our sup
posedly good American women-the
very women who were sending their
loved mes bravely out to face the
German guns, summarized and sank
four cargoes of food needed by
France.
What, you don. believe US?
Listen, then. to the facts.
The approximate total garbage col
lection last August from twenty-one
million people living in our largest
cities was 193.357 tons. Now, of
course, part of this garbage was leait-
innate waste. But, say one-tenth (and
food experts tell US this is "A very on
servative estimate) was good food
thrown away.
This means that American food
handlers and chiefly American house
wives, threw away 1885 tons approx
imately of good food, or about four
%shiploads. In other words, last Aug
ust they summarized and sank four
ship loads of food. For what do the
Germans care whether the food goes
into our garbage cans or is sunk to
the bottom of the ocean so long as it
does not help feed our W soldiers
in France and those lighting along
side them.
So, if We continue TO throw away
good food at this rate, we might as
well admit we are helping to boost
the KAISER uber Allies"
Shall we continue to do this?
The world is waiting for our an

AT THE COLONIAL TOMORROW

Only 16 years old, Lila Lee, widely
known as "Cuddles," child phe-
nomenon in vaudeville, makes her
debut in motion pictures as the star in
The Cruise of the Make Believes" a
Paramount picture, based upon the IA
nous novel of the same name. by Tom
Gallon.
The toy wonder child of yester-
day has suddenly dawned upon the
motion picture world a star of the
first magnitude Her artistry, so often
manifested in vaudeville, backed by
her youth, beauty, and magnetic charm
will find its finest expression, perhaps
in her new environment. She was
first discovered by Gus Edwards, when
she was seven years old, playing in
the streets of Union Hill, n. J. He
instantly recognized the girls genius,
and with the consent of her mother,
engaged her for vaudeville work, in
which she scored enormous success.
Then Jesse l.. Lasky, vice president
of the Famous Players, Lasky Cor
poration, who was searching for a
new girl star, saw her, with the re-
suit that her engagement followed.
So it happens that Lila Lee is Par
amount star, and If her work in her
initial picture is criterion, the mil
lions of admirers of the best the field
of the silent drama has to offer, will
welcome her entrance therein with
open arms. 1.-THE Cruise of the Make
Believes" is a beautiful story in
which dainty Lila Lee is seen in de-
lightfully pleasing role. Harrison
Ford heads the exceptionally fine sup
porting cast. Lila Lee in THE Cruise

EFFICIENT ELECTRIC FAN

Pull that abandoned electric fan out
of the attic or away from its pet win
ter hiding place, wherever it may be.
Put it to work for the winter. Get
twelve months service where only six
grew before.
An electric fan, according to the
pages of the Electrical Experimenter,
can be made to lend a hand, or prefer
ably a wing or so, to the daily task
of dishwashing in the kitchen. Just
put the dishes nicely washed into a
pan and turn on the fan and there you
are.
It's all very simple and it is but
one of the many winter jobs that the
electric fan can be made to do in it's
off time, so to speak. Take the neces-
sary job of drying vegetables. There
isn't any finer ally than that same
electric fan. Make it help out Hoover
by drying the vegetables and provoke
another Hunnish groan.
BY no means let that fan rest. This
is the age of efficiency, and even a
fan must be made useful at all times.
It's days of winter leisure are over
and past. The poor old fan is now
going on an all-the-year round sched-
ule. And it's going to stay on it.

DEPENDS ON ONES THOUGHTS
BY NO Means Always the Part OF Real
Wisdom for Persons to Say
What They Think.

Whether we are to say what we
think, or not, depends entirely on what
our thoughts are and how they will
affect others. There are some thoughts
1t Is a nn to hide. The people who
smother o good thought because they
are afraid of being misunderstood or
laughed Mt, take upon themselves a
dangerous responsibility. To conceal
q kind thought is something for which
there is no excuse.
There are other thoughts which 1t is
q pity to allow to get beyond your owp
brain. 1t is unfortunate indeed to have
them, but at least you can resolve that
they shall never get outside of their
birthplace. If you think this world is
q dreary. dismal place. what is the
good Of saying so? If morbid, angry
thoughts have taken possession of you,
stamp them out as you would breed
Of snakes.
Be brave enough to speak the
thought which should be spoken, no
matter whether 1t is likely to be pop
ular or not. And be strong enough to
hold in a leash the thought which, If
1t should escape, would work harm to
bthers.-Selected.
