Then there comes a wreck and John Graham, the engineer. is sentenced to serve in prison. The Denby child is returned to it's parents but later proves to have been John Graham's child.

POLES

One of the most sensational pro grams ever presented the theatre going public of this or any other city will be offered today at Polls the atre Heading a wonderful photoplay program will be Private Peat in which the soldier. lecturer and writer stars. Private Harold Peat himself, not an actor made lIp like him---enacts all the adventures that he experienced with incredible hardship and perma- nent disability.
 The entire picture is real. When you see an incident on the screen you know that the very man acting in it went through the same thing in real life, and only a short time ago. The picture Is spectacu1arly staged and wonderful as to photoplay. Night and day scenes in the front line trenches are shown with the clearness and vividness that only actual expe- rience can produce:
 A Hun invasion of a city is shown in detail. The scenes concerned with this are among the most gripping in the entire production. They are done with a realism which amounts to the point of being sensational.
 There are scenes in the picture which show every phase of army life. Soldiers are shown training in camp, eating, drilling. playing. on trans ports. in trenches, base hospitals and in fact every phase of the world con fltct is touched upon in a masterly manner and in such truthful detail that 1t has been praised by military authorities everywhere it has been shown.
 The big vaudeville bill will include such big attractions as Herbert Den ton and Florence Hackett, in the ! sketch made famous by Charles Grapewin "Poughkeepsie.' This sketch is now being presented by Herbert Denton and Florence Hackett in g manner that calls for the highest praise and will be hailed in Bridge port as 8 winner.

It is, fact that red blooded men and women are at the top in every walk of life. Men and women with the driving force of red blood, rich in Iron and Phosphates do things, they get results.
 Red blooded women are the heads of the happiest and most contented homes, they have the will and the desire to be real companions and Ihelpmates.
 Leadership and happiness is only for the men and women who are I willing to keep theri blood and nerves strengthened and nourished with Iron and Phosphates.
 prominent doctor says, Tt is a crime that so many men and women lack the rich, red blood and strong steady nerve to achieve their ambi- tions It Is all the more so because thin, watery blood is unnecessary, as rich, red blood and strong nerves are within the grasp of everyone, Phosphated Iron makes pure blood by making new blood. It gives strength, brings color to the cheeks increases the weight and appetite drives away the blues and those sfeepless nights, steadies and renews your nervous energy, makes you fee like a live one once again."

The recent food regulations as
to the amount of wheat flour al
lowed to each person is one that
every individual should strictly
observe. No such action would
be taken by the government if
it were not actually necessary.
The troops in the field must have
a full supply of bread and wheat
bread is the only kind that will
answer that purpose. While the
other substitute cereals can take
its place in homes. they cannot
be prepared to keep as rations
for soldiers, who must often be
supplied with several days ra-
tions ahead. Nor have the war
kitchens the facilities for pre-
pairing them in a palatable form.
It may be sometimes inconven-
lent to do without our flour, but
it is no hardship. In fact, the
wholesale use of flour is more a
habit than anything else. Let
US all put up with the little in
convenience and help do our part.

JUMP INTO THE FIGHT WITH
SPADE AND HOE

Make your own garden fight, "
is the operation order issued by
the Md. Food Administration
in launching the big thrift plot
drive which is expected to cap
ture five million dollars worth of
extra food from the back yards
and wide acres of this State. For
the Soldiers of the soil, amateur
and professional, urban and rural,
who bring in the most booty and
thus win the County Champion
ship high honors have been an
nounced by Food Marshal Baet-
jer, and their total value is over
$25, 600.
To use military lingo, the ad-
vance must be in open order, as
the nature of the terrain will not
permit an attack in close forma-
ton. The success Of this drive
on Mother Earth's store house
depends on the individual initia-
tive and resource of the combat
ant forces. To make sure of
attaining the detectives in this
drive. it would be we'll to consult
the numerous text books and
guides to be found in the public
reading rooms or else get the ad-
vice of some veteran who, armed
with spade and hoe, has earned
his spurs in truck-garden war
fare. Never mind if you have
scored one failure. Try again
and profit by your mistakes. If
you havn't tried yet, profit by
your neighbours mistakes. Most
important is it to get good top
soil. Show that even if you can't
fight in the front line trench, you
have the grit to start something
on behalf of your family and our
Uncle Sam. When you are ask
ed what you did in the Great
War, don't have to confess that
you were too lazy to WELD a
spade or too proud to handle a
hoe at a time when Democracy
was clamoring for the last ounce
of food production to help it win
its fight.
The ideal spot for your garden
is facing the south or southeast
with some shelter on the opposite
side. Let it also be near your
house and in view of your neigh
bors, so that they may see your
good work and get busy and do
likewise.
