THE play opens in the supper room
of the Tornaquinci, friend of
n Lorenzo the Magnificent, where

young Giannetto Malespini (John
Barrymore has been ordered by Lorenzo
to give feast to his enemies, the Chiara-
mentesi, two brothers, who from his
youth have tormented him.
The Chiaramentesi are mercenaries in
the Florentine army, and the elder, Neri
(Lionel Barrymore), is a huge figure
of man, whose towering strength has
first intimidated and then embittered
Giannetto, the young painter of
Madonnas.
When Giannetto comes to the banquet
hall, the Tornaquinci, his host, asks him
who are to be his guests, since the ban
quet has been so arranged by Lorenzo
that Giannetto shall be host But first
he asks to hear the latest outrage of the
Chiaramentesi.

What People Say
and someside Remarks

The wearing of masks to prevent
taking influenza is bosh, according q
DR.. ]. II. Robinette of Huntington who
spoke on The Recent Influenza B2i'
demic" at state meeting of osteopaths
held at Parkersburg.
II have but little confidence in
the use OF the gauze mask to pre-
vent the germs of influenza and
pneumonia entering the nasophar-
ypx. Stopping germs with gauze
mask is about as successful as
catching flies with a seine. A few
may lodge in the meshes and
watch the procession go by. The
only insurance against the germs
of influenza or eny other infection
is to keep the system at high
state of resistance"

In May, 1919, Secretary Red6eld declares that

America has learned many lessons from
the great war. She has, for example, found
that cheapness and economy are not always
identical, as for instance when we did not ere
ate dyestuf industry Of our own because II
was cheaper to buy the German product, or did
not develop our own supplies of potash because
the German product could be for time bought
for less. There is such a thing, you see, as
looking too closely at the figures on an irnme-
date order and not considering sufficiently
what will happen to the orders that are to fol-
low in the coming days"

the Democratic party believes that the policy
OF a tariff for revenue only is not only a policy
free from the logical absurdity Of tariff based
upon the alleged cost of production, but that
it is a policy which opens to our industries
the way to development on normal and perma-
nent lines where brains, character and energy
may work out their natural results to the pro-
fit of the manufacturer, to the advantage of
the worker, and to the gain of the consumer"
