LYCEUM THEATER.

Today the Lyceum will show for,
the last time the big double feature
bill with Jack Pickford in Sandy,
the story of which is as clean as a
hounds tooth and from literary
standpoint, delightful. 1t is a tale
of Kentucky, blue grass bellies of
grace and beauty, thoroughbred
horses and gentlemen of the old
school of Southern chivalry which is
fast dying away. The heart interest
centers about a young Scotch lad, a
stowaway, who is befriended by a
Kentucky maid when he is hailed
from his place of concealmen aboard
q liner, and whose kindly sympathy
and solicitude aWakens an abiding love
for her III his heart. The story is
charming one and the multitudinous
details are skillfully presented the
result being a perturbation of most
unusual excellence.
The other feature is with HOOPS
of Steel, starring the clever star,
Henry B. Walthall. 1t breathes with
virle action and romance, a story of
the great outdoors which has been
staged on the borderlands of Texas
The vaudeville bill is one of excep-
tionally fine quality, including the
great Acrobatic Review of 1913,
Johnny Woods and the Dancing Mil
Iers.
Thursday brings q new show and it
will please all to know that the great
est of all favorites, Douglas Fair
banks, is to appear on the program in
his famous play. Say, Young Eel
low This is a picture which all
must see for the story is brought out
just as Doug brings out all his
stories, with plenty of action and
miles of laughs. There will also be a
splendid new vaudeville program on
| Thursday.

Do Mothers Err?

When we hear of so many school
girls and girls in stores and offices
who are often totally unfit to perform
their daily duties because Of some de-
rangement peculiar to their sex, might
this not have been prevented by the
mother who, perhaps through neglect
or carelessness, failed to get for that
daughter the one great root and herb
remedy for such ailments. Lydia e,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?
This old-fashioned medicine is said
to have alleviated more suffering of
womanknd than any other remedy
known to medicine.-advt

way can the organization be of as
sistance.
The local chapters responsibility
begins when the label is brought to
its Office. Then it will give out a
carton. After the carton has been
filled and returned, it will inspect
the container and see that it is
wrapped correctly. The organization
will then forward the package to the
transportation point for shipment
overseas, the sender paying the post
age.
The Red Cross has announced that
it is following War Department and
post office regulations in handling the
Christmas packages. The rules must
be obeyed to the letter. No infringe
ment, however trivial, can be per-
mitted, and infringement of the rules
will probably lead to the sacrifice of
the parcel itself.
The Red Cross also announces that
it has no jurisdiction concerning
packages for the Navy department.
These packages are not to be in
spected by the Red Cross. All ex-
press parcels for the navy should be
addressed to the Supply Base,

OF her chosen profession. The public
knows how well she accomplishes her
purpose. He name in electric lights
has been a familiar sight before the
big vaudeville houses.
A few months ago Miss Nesbit was
offered a contract by William Fox and
now she has completed The Woman
Who Gave, which will be the attrac-
ton at Fox's for three days COM
mencing tomorrow. THE Woman
Who Gave" is the story of an artists
model who grew to hate her own
! beauty. From personal experience
Miss Nesbit should be able to portray
such q role with the greatest realism.
While a mere child she gained fame
as one Of the most beautiful models in
America. She was employed by the

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Hundreds of persons who misunder-
stand the regulations concerning the
mailing of Christmas packages to
soldiers overseas have been calling
daily at Red Cross Headquarters in
curing about the Christmas labels
distributed to the men in the Elk
peditionary forces.
In order to make the situation clear
to everyone, the Atlantic Division OF
the American Red Cross, today is
sued a statement setting forth that
the Red Cross has no part in the
issuance of these labels.
The War Department has arranged
the system for distributing the
labels. They are supplied to the
soldiers in France and in no other
them to the men. The soldiers are
ordered to address them to them
selves and then mail them to tho
one person in this country from whom
they wish to receive gifts.
In no other way is it possible to
get labels Contrary to the SEEM
ingly general idea, the Red Cross
has no supply of them and will re-
ceiVe none.
If a person has received no label,
but wishes to forward a gift to a
possessor of the label sent to this
country by that man. 1t is possible
that the local chapter can aid in the
| search if the label was sent to q
/ person in this city, but in no Other

What the Stubs Revealed.


What the Stubs Revealed.
Il don't know-yet' I responded
duly. And Of course [ cant ask
Dicky. No matter what comes ne
must not be bothered. So-as I've
already meddIed, [ might as we'll find
out what / can about it. Perhaps
q sudden CLEAN of hope leaped from
my brain to my voice-"Derhaps some
of the magazines haven't paid him yet
I know about the sizes of the checks
due him in a general way, and can
easily tell from his stubs if he has had
them"
My mother-in-law silently handed
me the envelope containing the used
Stubs, and for the next half hoU" I
patiently traced Dickys receipts and
expenditures.
Fortunately for my purpose, Dicky,
usually the most careless of mortals,
is as methodical as the traditional old
maid about his check books. For years
he would not bother with one. and
when he did finally achieve one he
confessed that he enjoyed it as a small
boy would a new pair of boots. Every
entry on his stub of amount deposit
ed" showed the source of the amount,
and most of his entries of checks is
sued bore beneath the names in mic
roscopic writing the reason for theil
issuance.
So when I had searched through all
the stubs, I realized that every pos
sible source of Diclly's income had
been drained. All his assets We're
comprised in the paltry sum of less
than So. 1 had $3.50. And our bills

I turned faint at the very thought OF
what the total must be-
But l must put a brave face on the
matter before my mother-in- law. The
poor old woman was positively sha6-
ing as if she had the palsy, and [ did
her the justice to realize that no iOta
of her emotion was caused-by fear for
her own future. Her boy was bank
rupt, i'll, facing hardship. That was
| the reason for her pallor.
! Never mind, mother" [ said as
! cheerfully as I could. There's a mis-
| take somewhere. There are checks
which haven't yet been given to Dicky,
I am sure. And when he gets a little
stronger I'll ask him about them"
| She looked at me with doubling
eyes, eyes that held also a question
| which she hadn't put to me- that l
| knew before she spoke what it was.
| saw that she hesitated to put. And 1
I also had seen something odd about
! the stubs of Dicky's check book.

A FAIR WARNING
One That Should Be Needed BY New
Britain Residents.

Frequently the first sign Of kidney
trouble is a slight ache or pain in
the loins. Neglect of this warning
makes the way easy for more
serious troubIes-dropsy, gravel,
Bright's disease. IT'S well to pay at
tention to the first sign. Weak kid
neys generally grow weaker and de-
lay is often dangerous. Residents OF
this community place reliance in
Doan's Kidney Pills. This tested
remedy has been used in kidney
trouble over SO years-is recommend
ed all over the civilized world. Read
the following New Britain proof of
their merit.
Oliver Foulds, 374 Arch street,
New Britain, says: "a cold settled on
my kidneys. causing a dull ache
across the small of my back. Pains
caught me when I bent over and
when I sat down, my back seemed
to stiffen UP and I had to take hold
OF something to help myself up.
Mornings my back felt especially
lame and sore. I took two boxes OF
poan's Kidney Pills and they en-
tirely cured me-
soc, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn

Who Is f.. Stern, Whose Name Appears
So Frequently in Dicky's Dwin-
ding Check Book?

l drew back protestingly from my
rnother-in- laws outstretched hand
which held Dicky's personal check

sSpected my husbands letters and per-
Asonal belongings. Indeed, [ have
never seen the inside of his personal
check book, although he is perpetual
2ly losing it and l am as often finding

This is no time for Puritanical
Scruples, Margaret" my mother in
law said sharply. L have never been

Z piles check-books myself, but Rich
ard is distinctly not himself, and when
#he carelessly left this book on the
4 table tonight, I seized the chance to
examine it and the envelope of back
stubs which lay with it. What [ found

haps he had turned over money to
you that didn't show in the record.

Dicky's balance to be low, but per

Low! Look at that" she inter

that Dicky must be reduced to straits
