At the Ditmas

What happened at THE Zero

extract money from one of his VIC
Tins is Interestingly and entertaining
ly told in the World picture of that
name, in which June Elvidge is the
star. This production will be shown
at the Ditmas today and tomorrow.
Miss Elvidge appears in the role of
Fanny Craig and her twin sister,
Evelyn Craig. One of the sisters is
frankly willing to help her stepfather
in his business of working money out
of people by his fake "mediumistic"
business, while the other sister hates
and detests the whole business.
Extracts from a diary written in
Greek form an odd feature in the
forthcoming Metro play, THE Test

tiful May Allison, which will be
shown also today and tomorrow.
The translating of these Greek
characters by the young professor
forms one of the vital threads woven
into the intricate plot of this unusual
play, and Director Wilfred Lucas,
who insists on accuracy in the slight
est detail pertaining to his produc-
lions, decided that nothing but the
real thing would appear in his pic

''NOw tell me-" said the countess the
instant they entered the Courtney
apartment. She gripped both of his
arms with her firm little hands and
looked straight into his eyes, eagerly,
hopefully. She had forgotten Mrs.
Courtney's presence, she had not
taken the time to remove her hat or
jacket.

Barnes was pacing the floor nerv-
ously when his sister returned after
conducting her new guest to the room
prepared for her. The countess was
at the telephone before the door
closed behind her hostess.

in her way. "Stop walking like that

NeutraIized Poison Gas.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed in an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks issued to our troops. The
mask, with it's contained chemicals
for neutralizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in is familiar. But one So
called gas is liquid and because of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given it the name of mustard gas"
When an area is drenched with the
stuff the menace may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, as well as on
face and hands, to prepare the sol
der when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.

lier for anything in the world.
She was strangely white and sub
dued when she rejoined them later on.
She had removed her hat. The other
woman saw nothing but the wealth
of sun-hssed hair that rippled. Barnes
went forward to meet her, filled with
sudden apprehension.

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART;
IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-
sons. A majority of the ills affecting
people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the fl
terers of your blood. If the poisons
which are swept from the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys. disease of one form or another
will claim you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache,s stomach trou-
ole, pain in loins and lower abdomen,
gall stones, gravel, rheumatism, sciatica
and lumbago.
All these arrangements are natures

COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE
Hostess Saw Reason for ThankfuIness
in View Set Forth by Her
Young Visitor.

Out on the east side the other aft
ernoon a group of women were having
porch party. Now, all except one
were married, and the married ones
constantly talked to the one young
spinster on the subject of getting mar
ried. They even went so far as to
suggest some candidate for her hand.
And of one the young woman said,
"Oh, he wouldn't do. He's been mar
ried, and I've not yet reached that
stage where / have to take a widower"
Absolute silence followed that re-
mark. With wild start the girl real
lied that three of the women present,
including the hostess, were second
wives. She was just beginning to
reach the most painful stage Of en-
barrassment, when the hostess laughed
easily, and tried to utter remark that
would put everybody at ease. THANK
goodness you haven't" she said.

An Unexpected
Christmas Present

NNE Christmas day some years
" ago Almas temple of the Shrin-
ers of Washington gave it's
annual dinner to the poor. 1t was a
well-planned affair. generously contrib
uted to, and turned out a big success.
But the most notable thing about it
was not on the program and made the
hit of the occasion. Whenever mem
bers of the temple think of the celebra
ton they chuclzle over their unexpected
Christmas gift.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one of his Sto-
rieS there entered another big, fat
Santa Claus, carrying a colossal baS-
ket full of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent a gift of bread to
be distributed and signed receipt for
the $50 loaves. In a few minutes they
were handed around to the heads Of
families, and an additional smile of
Christmas joy went around everywhere
with them
When the festivities were nearly over
and the crowd had begun to dispense
81 man came running In and asked the
committeeman:
did you get $50 loaves of bread?"
1--WE did," was the reply.

"WeIl, that was an order for the
Carroll institute. 1t came here by
mistake. But it is all right. We are
glad you gave it away, and If you need
more let us know" And the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with the
incident.-New York Times.
