EMPIRE

IN her new starring vehicle, Uncle
Toms Cabin" which will be shown at
the Empire theatre today and tomor-
row, Marguerite Clark, celebrated as
the sweetest girl in motion pictures"
portrays the roles of Eva apd Topsy,
two widely dissimilar characterize
tons, but which she handles with the
skill of the true artist.
This is a splendid perturbation of
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves famous
novel, the publication of which did
much to bring on the Civil War and
resulted in the emancipation of the
slaves in this country. The novel was
translated in many languages and in
point of numbers the sales of the book
exceeded that of any story ever pub
lished. The principal incidents of the
story are embraced in the photoplay
and collectively they form one of the
finest picture productions ever made
by any motion picture corporation.
Uncle Tom is a Kentucky slave who
is sold and sent to the South. When
on a steamboat on the Mississippi
river he saves the life of Eva St.
Clair, whose father purchases him as
a reward for his bravery st. Clair
purposes to set him free, but his
death, which occurs soon after Eva s
demise, prevents this and Uncle Tom
Is sold to Simon Legree, a brutal
planter, who maltreats him so Sc
verely that he dies from his injuries
Just as the son of his former owner
arrives to repurchase him and to give
him a comfortable home for the RES
Of his days.
Miss Clark portrays the roles OF
Eva and Topsy, a slave girl, two parts
that stand out distinctly above ali
others. She is admirably supported
by well known screen players of recog-
nized ability.

Share OUR SUGAR
With The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of SweetenIna
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
Bile when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
as voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and q
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
il they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,00O acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with a
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find ii.
Italy Has Estate, Sugar."
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for s.,gar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
estate Sugar." which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out Of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.

HAVE YOU SUGAR
FOR YOUR CANNING?

Owing to the present great shortage
of sugar, there is a tendency toward
a considerable decrease in canning. In
spite of this shortage, however, every
bit of produce must be saved-and
can be.
There are several substitutes which
may be used in canning fruits and ma
king jellies-chief of which are corn
syrup and sugar beet syrup. The ad-
vantage of the sugar beet syrup is
that the beets may be grown in your
own garden and the syrup made in
your kitchen.
If you want to make some of this
syrup for your home use we are ready
to help you. We have a limited sup
ply of sugar beet seed which we shall
give away as long as the supply holds
out. With each package of seed we
will send directions for growing the
beets and making the syrup.
Do you want to be one of the few
to carry out this project this year? If
so, fill out the coupon below and mail
to us, and we will gladly forward you
the seed-if you do not hesitate Sc
long that the seed is all gone before
your request comes in.

Captdm Burns Veteran Of NaUy
 And Pioneer Visits the District

Capt Thomas Burns, a pioneer of Arizona and for many years resi- dent of Bowie. was in the city Satur- day and 3 part of Sunday. He came up here from Douglas, having arrived there on Friday from Los Angeles, where he has been for more than a year in the Soldiers home at Saw telle.
 Capt. Burns has been prominent in the mining business in this county since he came to Tombstone some 30 years ago to take charge of some properties in the Tombstone district for parties who resided in Chicago and knew him there. After leaving Tomb stone he turned his attention to the Chiricahua mountains and located the copper properties which went to the Chiricahua Development company. Capt Burns is yet a large owner in these properties in which he has great faith though the development com pany failed to make a success after spending many thousands of dollars in development work.
 Besides this property, Capt. Burns is now the owner of good properties, carrying important gold values in the Dos Cabesas mining district, ten miles from Bowie. He said today that he is now on his way to Bowie to look after this property.
 Regarding his health now, he feels that he has been cured and that he will be able to attend to business and will make his headquarters at Bowie.
 Capt Burns, during the Civil war. was a captain in the navy on the Union side. He was aboard the Cairo, which was the first gunbOat in the world successfully destroyed by mine. One of the incidents of the destruction of the Cairo, is the fact that after being blown up the boat sunk within ten minutes and that no lives were lost in spite of the fact that all aboard jumped into the river and while swimming to the shore or to other gunboats they were shelled by the enemy. Rear Admiral T. O. Selfridge, who now lives in Washing ton, was commanding the Cairio at the time. Later in the war Capt Burns was commander of the Prairie Bird, which was a gunboat carrying nine guns. They were 2490 and 32 Parrot rifles. It was while Capt

Burns was in charge of the Prairie RiTd that the steamer Diovemon, was wrecked about l20 miles above Vicks- burg. The steamer Dioyernon was a passenger river boat and had aboard about 500 people. lt ran into a float ing snag, and hull and cabin parted. Of course this threw the people into the river. Capt. Burns. in his Prairie Bird, came to the rescue. He saved AGO lives. Forty were drowned, % men and oue woman. It is one Of the regrets Of Capt Burns today that he was not able to save at least the one woman of the 70 who were drowned.
 Capt Burns was compelled to leave the navy shortly after the Civil war due to the fact that he developed tuberculosis, and he came to the southwest mountains to recuperate The fact that he is hale and hearty today demonstrated the efficiency of the southwest climate.
 Several years ago Capt. Burns met Rear Admiral Milton, retired. Capt. Burns and Rear Admiral Milton were ensigns together upon the Cairo. Eur ing the visit the admiral inquired of Capt. Burns if he had received his medal. Capt. Burns was surprised. and said he did not know that he had a model coming.
 It will be remembered that con gress authorized the issuance of 1 1.500 medals for gallant service during the Civil war
 Capt. Burns, for his heroic rescue of the passengers of the Divernon had been voted one of these medals. but had never received it. Congressman Hayden, learning Of this fact later. made an investigation of the matter at the secretary of the navy's office. Here were found on record the log books showing the gallant record of Capt Burns during the Civil war, When the location of Capt Burns was discovered his service medal was issued to him. In sending him the medal the secretary of the navy took occasion to compliment Capt Burns for the service he had rendered dur ing his period of enlistment.
 This is probably the only service medal issued to a citizen of Arizona, and the people of Arizona are proud of the fact that they have a citizen who has rendered such service to the country.
