Victoria Gauran, the prima donna of the com pany, has the most wonderful soprano in musical comedy and the balance of the company cannot be excelled.

All of the above was told me in the strictest confidence by the advance agent, who has promised me a seat in the first row. At Loew's Bijou
 Variety is the spice of the popular bill at Loew's Bijou for today, a new bill taking it's place tomorrow. There is enough to please any one on the pro- gramme and all the acts are new and up to date.
 The feature of the show was Bill Fruit. the Caruso of the plains, in a review of popular melodies. He appears in the costume of a cowboy. and his singing is easily the feature of the show. He received many encores. The photoplay is Madame Travers 1 in 'The Danger Zone,"< wonderful, gripping and intensely Interesting so- ciety photodrama.

State and City Laws.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ii.--Food manu-
facturers in all parts OF the country
as well as various organizations and
Individuals interested in helping TO solve
the high cost Of living problems. are ex-
pressing great interest in The food bill
which has just been introduced in the
United states Senate by senator VIII
liam NJ Calder. from New York.
The Calder bin provides that no law

laling 90 the adulleralion or misbrand-
ing OF foods, drugs or medicines or
regulating Tie branding thereof, shall
apply 10 or Interfere with the sale Of
any foods. drugs or medicine in pack
age form which have been transported
in Interstate commerce and thereby have
become subject TO the provisions Of the
FcderaD Food and Drug Act Of June
3. 1906"
Advocates OF this bill claim that u
would do more toward bringing about
a uniformity Of food laws than any
other measure that has ever been pro-
posed. At the annual meeting Of the
food and drug officials OF the various
States recently held in New York, the
necessity OF standardizing food laws
was made the subject OF special dis
cussion and a resolution advocating
Standardization was passed.
A survey Of the food laws OF tho va
rious States shows that while all food
shipped Interstate must conform TO The
federal food laws they also are subject

states, many OF which are contradictory |

YANKEES FINDING
MANY VALUABLES
Turn Up Numerous Articles
In the Shell-torn
BattlefieldS

Paris, May 10.-American troops
who have been working in the shell
torn areas of France have been re-
covering many valuables of various
sorts buried in the ruins. All these
finds are turned over to the French
Ministry of Finance which is en-
deavoring to discover the original
owners of their heirs. All unclaim-
ed treasures go to the state.
Members of the American Second
Army Corps recently unearthed al
Avoucourt large number of French
and Russian railway bonds which
had lain in the cellar of a demolish-
ed home since the Germans first
invaded the sector. The bonds were
all in good condition and bore cou-
pons which had not been clipped
since July, 1914. Whether the own
er is dead or alive will be deter
mined by the Ministry of Finance.
Among the valuables recovered
are many belonging to ruined
churches. Not infrequently when
several churches in a town have
been destroyed and each of them
has lost similar treasures it is i'm.
possible to say who is the owner OF
the wealth recovered. In this case
it is divided among them.
