Week of February 25th, the distin-

his brilliant success.
"BLIND YOUTH"
Four Sensational months at the metro

Lou Tellegen, the romantic actor who
has taken New York by storm, is coming
to Ford's week of February 25th direct
from four crowded months at the Repub-
lie and 39th St. Theatre, and with him
comes the original company.
The play, creating as much sensation
as the star, is dramatic masterpiece.
the joint work of Willard Mack and Lou
Tellegen. Both authors are actors of
note, Mr.. Mack having appeared hither-
to in many successful American plays,
notably his own famous one, ''The Tiger
Rose," which is now in its second year
of success. Mr.. Tellegen will be remem-
bered as CO star with Sarah Bernhardt
few years ago, afterwards winning dis
tinction and sharing honors with Dorothy
Donnelly in "Maria Rosa," then as star
in the popular Mcpherson play, "A King
of Nowhere"
The vogue of this young actor in New
York has become nothing short of mas
vellous. The matinee performances were
thronged to see this new idol.
In the role of Maurice Minnier, the
Bohemian who made good, Mr.. Tellegen' s
art is inimitable and his success has
proved among the greatest individual
hits the metropolis has known for many
years. The performance, ideal in every
particular. is the came seen during the
metropolitan engagement under the d.
rection of Charles Emerson Cook.

Messrs Stull, Root and Rouzer, all OF

cold last winter that settled on his lungs
and he had terrible coughing spells. We
were greatly worried about him as the
medicine we gave him did not help him
in the least. A neighbor spoke so highly
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that
got him a bottle of it. The first dose
benefited him 80 much that | continued

|Hon,e Bows Lead Regiment $75o,ooo Service Fund.-
Lutheran Church Looking
After Her Boys In Camps.

A big drive to raise $3.50, 900 is being
made by the Lutheran churches in this
country this week for war time service.
The campaign opened in all Lutheran
churches last Sunday, Rev. w. c. Walt
myer of St. Johns Lutheran church, this
place, preaching on the subject Sunday
evening. An effort will be made by this
congregation to raise at least 5000.
The budget of the National Lutheran
Commission for one years wartime SER
vice is higher than that of most Protest
ant denominations. 1t is higher because
the Commission is laying greater empha-
sis on personal service and ministration.
Where the men are, the chuoch must be;
especially amid the complexities of camp
life and the rapid shifting Of troops.
The emphasis on personal service Is
brought out very clearly by glancing at
the detailed budget. 1t is made up as
follows:
Equipment for Chaplains.. $4,000
Secretaries Salaries and Exp's, $4,000
Camp Pastors Salaries and Ex-
penses, ....... .............. =. 40o, 200
Camps. ............. ........ 10000
Interned Aliens, s,........ 10000
Work in France, $4,000
Buildings, 125, 900
Literature. $4,000
Office Expenses, s,........ $4,000
Emergency Expenses, ........... $4,000
$75O.0O0
The items "chaplains," "camp pas
TORS" assistance to churches, "work in
France" totalling more than two-thirds
of the entire budget, are distinctly per-
sonal service.
Millions have been spent to provide
buildings and equipment for social, rec
reational and religious activities in the
camps. Every camp has its Y. M. c. A.
huts, "the touch of home that goes with
the men," In nearly 10 camps there are
the halls of the Knights of Columbus.
The Fosdick Commission is vigorously
pushing the erection of soldiers clubs,
camp theatres and community halls.
Many camps have Protestant chapels.
Camp Dodge, Iowa, has Lutheran Bro
therhood Building.
The conviction is rising to the fore
front among well informed men that the
building and equipment facilities are am
pie, that the great need at present is
consecrated man power of the highest
type to inspire the men with their SER
vice.
The National Lutheran Commission has
aimed to add to the man-power in camps
that is working to maintain the spiritua
values.
