 Woven into the web of the tale is the romance of the hot countries with the intrigue and plotting of a man of no principle and the happy ending of the affair after one of the most exciting and gripping plays ever made by any concern.
 Miss Pearson plays the part of this unhappy girl wife who is wrecked by the thought that the tale that has been poured into her ears is true and when the denouement comes it finds her al most on the verge of doing away with herself.
 The Liar" is a big story done as only William Fox knows how to dc them when they are worth while. The picture will remain at the Lamara Monday as well as today.

 To those who have followed her sincc her "Hypocrite" flashed meteor ically across the movie sky and re- mains today as a record of cinema achievement. it is known that the stamp of this gifted woman means per- lection in the product.
 Opening today at the Hip for a run of three days comes For Husbands Only" with that beautiful, unspoiled rirl Of the screen Mildred Harris, in the leading part.
 For Husbands Only" is merely a title. not a restriction. and it is the story of a girl who awoke after her frst love affair to find that she had been the dupe of one of the cleverest male uirts in the world. It hurt, oh SO badly. for a time and Toni Wylde. that was the girls name. took it so to heart that she determined to be re- venEed on all mankind that came with in her reach and to make sure of the means she married man of money whom she did not even think of pre- ending to love.

1.-THE HOPPER" WILL
 THRILL COLUMBIA

Columbia Screen Telegram, showing official war pictures, William Mong in "The Hopper" and two-reel Mack Sennett comedy titled Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts" gives the Sunday and Monday program at the Columbia theater considerable strength and even balance. It is a program that main- tains the Columbia standard in every way.
 'The Hopper" holds the place as the feature. It is a clever crook drama, adapted from Meredith Nicholson's story in Golfers Weekly. "The Hop per" a reformed criminal. innocently commits abduction and tries to restore the stolen child to his parents. He is cornered as a burglar by Muriel Will ton whose father is an enemy of Tal- bot. rival curio collector who lives next door to him. The Hopper se- cures his freedom on condition that he rob each of the rivals of antiques. He enters Talbot's home, finds Wilton robbing it. a melee ensues which is followed by reconciliation. It is both an amusing and a gripping story.
 The Columbia Screen Telegram comes direct from the French battle fields and shows countless war scenes that are of paramount interest to Phoenicians.
 Views of the worlds largest aviation school are of especial interest at this time in view of the recent accomplish ments of Lieut.. Frank Luke,- Jr., Of Phoenix. who has scored nine victims against Hun observation balloons dur ing the past week. It gives the Phoe- nix public an excellent opportunity to see just what Lieut.. Luke was obliged to accomplish before gaining victory over his adversaries.
 Another portion of the film is de- voted to the front line trenches held by Americans and shows an American patrol just returning from trip across No Mans Land Other in teresting war scenes are also included. If you don't nail yourself to your seat and put paddock on your breath

from within. In the vast majority of cases it
has really nothing to do with the skin at all,
but is an irritation autographed" out to the
surface from the stomach.
= The curious thing about this form Of indi-
gestion is that quite frequently the patient
feels little or no sense Of discomfort in the
stomach itself. In fact, often the first thing
that warns him that anything has gone wrong
is the sudden appearance Of the rash and the
abomlnable itching. Then he will begin to
look into the matter and discover that his
stomach feels little full or heavy, or that
he IS threatened with diarrhoeal attack
In some cases there will be cramping pains
and severe bowel disturbances, but the at
tack does not come on like an inflammation,
or gastritis, nor Is it usually caused, like
most digestive attacks, by eating bad, or
spoiled, or infected food.

in which individual initiative or response
bility plays but little part
Considering what our skin has to put up
with, we get surprisingly little "back talk
from it. Soft as velvet, smooth as satin,
tinted and delicate as the petal of flower
sometimes is at the same time one of the
toughest most resistent and patient tissues
known. Despite the "slings and arrows Of
outrageous fortune" which it has to endure
In the form of chafes and scratches, insects
and germs, Winter underwear and Summer
heat, it comparatively seldom blazes out in
revolt.
When, however; it does finally conclude
that forbearance has ceased to be a virtue,
the commonest retort which it makes to the
insults heaped upon it takes the form Of what
we call eczema.
This annoying condition is far and away
the commOnest of all forms of skin diseases,
probably accounting for some two-thirds Of
all cases. It attacks every age from the
cradle to the grave, and has its special pc
culiarities in each.
Not that which cometh from within but
''that which cometh from without" is the
principal cause of eczema Lack Of the
stFictest and most intelligent cleanliness,
letting the baby's skin and hands become
soiled by its own excretions, leaving its crib
unsereened from flies, mosquitoes and gnats,
all of which are perfect joy-riders for germs.
The use of too strong soaps or of busting
powders which make sticky rolls in the
creases; the handling of the baby by adults
or other children who have pimples or erup-
tons on the face or hands. These are the
bad habits which cause eczema in childhood
and whose diseontinuance will cure it far
more frequently than any errors in diet or
so-called conditions of the blood.

NE reason why skin diseases have an
unsavory repute is the curious popu-
lar notion that there is apt to be
something discreditable about their origin.
This is a most deplorable idea and should be
attacked and got rid of by all possible
means, both because it is almost totally
unfounded and because this feeling of
disgrace or humiliation in admitting the ex-
istenee of troublesome cutaneous disease is
a serious hindranee to its cure.
People of perfectly blameless life viii often
hesitate for weeks and even months before
consulting a competent physician about a
troublesome skin condition, Just from sheer
shrinking from the humiliation of admitting
that they have such malady
In the meantime, they have usually been
trying every imaginable or recommended
quack and patent remedy, often with such
dangerous and aggravating effects that the
dermatolOgist has difficulty In deciding what
was the real nature Of the original disease,
on account Of the violent irritation produced
by the various so-called cures Sometimes, in
deed, the original disease has disappeared en-
tirely IN the excitement, and the whole pain

tent is suffering is due to the furiously irri-
tating remedies which he has been rubbing
into his unfortunate hide
All that is needed to cure is to discontinue
the application Of the remedies, at the same
time appeasing the righteous resentment of
the tortured skin by soothing powders or
lotions.
There is not the slightest real basis for the
idea that skin disease is any more disgraceful
in origin than any other form of malady,
the only possible exception being IN so far as
skin diseases are caused by parasites and ag-
gravated by insanitary and careless habits
of living and clothing. But this is matter
