FIRES OF FAITH" AN
INSPIRING PICTURE
Work of Salvation Army on the
Front Finely Shown

An inspiring photoplay is the SUI
perb Paramount picture Fires of
Faith" is the verdict of all who have
seen that splendid production at the
Strand Theatre where it is on view
Tuesday. Incidental to the develop
ment of an unusually appealing love
story, Salvation Army scenes at home
and on the fighting line vest the sub
ject with an added interest and serve
to make the presentation perhaps the
most notable seen here in many years.
The story deals with young wo-
man of the slums who is reclaimed
through the Salvation Army and who
goes to the front as Salvation Army
doughnut girl. The photoplay~ never
lags an instant, for there is plenty Of
action in every scene.
The principal players are Catherine
Calvert, Eugene O'Brien, Ruby de
Remer, Theodore Roberts, Herbert
Standing, Edythe Chapman and 9TH
ers.
The story was written by Charles
E. Whitaker, and directed by Edward
Jose, one of the ablest producers in
the country.

that prohibition came to US because
most of us Americans do not know

That is wrong. To stand is tiresome.
It made men drink quickly and far
more than they would were they sit

were the bottles with their varicolored
contents, that was mystery. What
was really in those bottles? Why
the colors? Why did men like cock
tails, fizzes, rickeys, julips, highballs,
punches, toddys, cordials, wine, whis-
ky, beer?
Frankly, 1 liked the bottles behind
the bar-not all of them, for shall
tell you, too, how men were cheated.
1 liked to choose, from a large num-
Der of bottles, certain bottles which
my experience told me to take. l
enjoyed pouring from these bottles

cannot accept and properly attend to
his business. The mixing of drinks
requires an accurate eye, a very
steady hand. Of course, everybody
knows that after a man has had
few drinks, he becomes slightly mac

to drink with a customer, the man
became offended and went to some
other bar.
have heard lot about what booze
does to men. Get one thing straight.
There is one reason, and only one,
why men drink. have seen them de-
mand of me a certain brand of whis-
Ky and show pettishness when we were
out of it. I have seen them call for
a particular make OF gin. have
seen wine drinkers-who, in Ameri-
ca are rare-hold up glass to the
light and go into delights about its
color and odor. / have heard men
speculate upon the shadings OF color
and GREATNESS" Of beer. have
heard the virtues Of .sjuleps" argued
against those of "rickeys." But don't
fool yourself that man drank whis-
ky or gin because a certain brand
offered some mysterious piquancy OF
flavor Don't fool yourself that men
drank wine because of the color or
the bouquet; that men drank beer
for its color or GREATNESS; that men
drank "juleps" for the mint, or "rick-
eys" for the lime-juice. Men drank
for the alcohol in the drink and for
no other reason. Believe me, know.
The sole reason for the existence OF
these various drinks was to induce the
body to accept them. Were man
to mix alcohol with water and drink
it, the palate, the stomach, would re-
bel. So it became profession for the
makers of booze and for US bartend-
ers to disguise the alcohol with odors
and favors so that men could more
readily accept it. Also, different
drinks provided men with different
quantities of alcohol, as they wanted.
1t was for the alcohol alone, what 1t
did to them, that men drank.

dance hall he would write just six
words. "This is the door to hell. :"
Continuing DR.. Holderby said, From
all we can learn the present day dance
is indecent, immodest and, as can be
proved, frequently leads to evil. The
dance halls of the present day are
said to be veritable dens of vice and

t lature will be called upon to ar

Against Tax Dodoino

AS result of the victory of Mayor
Lee, of Beverly, in forcing the Public
Service Corporation to pay taxes on an
assessment in that city that has been
more than tripled, the Burlington
County Board of Taxation is planning
county wide campaign against tax
lodging by corporations. A superficial
survey is said to have shown the board
that public utility corporations have
moderated their valuations in state
ments to the assessors more than
100000, while private taxpayers
throughout the county are paying the
highest tax on record.
At the hearing before the county
board Solicitor Smith wrung from the
Public Service representatives an adj
mission that the corporation always
figures out special taking value"
usually less than one third of the
actual value, in submitting it's state
ment to assessors. This statement is
said to have caused the county board
to decide on immediate action to force
a reaSSeSSment. 4
