I"OX'S THEATER R.

Anita Stewart in her latest produc- tion, "A Midnight Romance. Charlie Chaplin in "A Night at the ShoW' and four excellent vaudeville acts are th~ attractions at Fox's tonight.
 Mystery and romance combine in the story of "A Midnight ROmance' to give it a right to the designation of q 'WOman's picture" No matter how little or how much sentiment or TO- mantle character there may be in any individual, there is no one who does net like real mystery. And when the mystery shrouds the person of a lOVablc, beautiful girl in her natural feminine desire to win, against all odds. the man who unknoWingly has captured her heart, it becomes doubly fascinating. The story of "A Midnight Romance'' grips with the opening scene. It creates immediately the question: 'Who is Marie Alexander?" And the solution seems to be hinted at dozens of times in the subsequent ac- tion of the picture; any audience will come to the conclusion a score of times. that they have "doped it right only to have the next situation com pletely upset their convictions. Not until the final scene in the last reel of "A Midnight Romance" will they be relieved of the tension and suspense which Lois Weber, the dircctress has so masterfully laid as the background for every detail in the developments leading to the climax. "A Midnight Romance' has been described as romantic shower bath, and Marion Orth, who wrote The Price of a Good Time. has injected enough charm into it. to make it the ideal warr weather picture
 Charlie Chaplin in "A Night at the Show delighted his many admirers who roared at CharIie's antics in the English music hall, his troubles in getting suitable seat, his row with the different members of the orches- tra, and also his mixup with the sna Ike charmer. A Harold Lloyd comedy the Topics of the Day and the latest Pathe News completed an excellent film program. FOX'S vaudeville. con- SlSt1ng of Gray'S Entertainers. a quin- tet of clever fox terriers with their trainer Bert and Vera Morrisey. two Timber steppers, Mary Salisbury, a charming songster and the Randow Trio, European comedy acrobats were all we'll received.

 Sergeant Halyburton has been in the regular American army for nine years and his home is in Stony Point, N. C. His outfit, the 18th infantry. was among the first American units tos go into action. They were in the trenches in October, 1917, on the Rhine Marne front in Alsace-Lor- raine. Sergeant Halyburton and ten comrades were probably the first pris- oners taken by the Huns. They were captured on the night of November 3, 1917, in trench raid 25 kilometers- from Nancy. near a town called Bat tlemont Three Americans were kill- ed in the raid.

HAVE YOU A LITTLE SCRUBMOBILE IN YOUR HOME?
(By Biddy Bye.)

(By Biddy Bye.D
 Breathes there a woman with knees so proud
 They never to the floor have bowed in the necessary but painful duty of scrubbing?
 A few such lucky ones may exist, but for most persons of female per suasion there are times and occasions when home-making involves plain, down light floor scrubbing.
 Such will welcome with delight a simple, homemade efficiency cX- pert"--the scruhmobilo
 The Scrubmobile is a small wooden tray on wheels. and it's purpose is to save the sCrubber the energy and strength wasted in pushing and pull ing a heavy pail of water over the floor. Also besides saving the wom- an, it saves the floor as the smooth casters of wood or rubber spare the floor surface from scratches.
 Used by the worker who prefers the brush and scrub cloth to the mop, the scrubmobile is blessing, for light push with the finger will guide the heavy pail wherever desired with the minimum of effort. Scrubbing with the mop is equally aided by the scrubm obile. A long handled mop or broom set Tn the bucket pushes the scrubm obile about easily and the worker is saved the labor of stoop- ing and lifting the pail from place to place.
 The scrubmobile may be made of a few pieces of kinding or broken boxes, or it may be the proud product of tho manual training school boy who wishes to do mother a real serV- ice.
 For the bottom of the tray use a board 12 or i inches square and 1 inch thick. For the rim or sides of the tray which prevent the pail from sliding off, use two strips of wood thick Nail the strips along opposite sides and finish the two remaining sides with two ten-irch strips of the same dimensions.
 Screw four casters in at the four corners of tho tray, and the scrub mobile is complete. If rubber casters are used the expense will be a little moro but the scrubmObile will have the advantage of being noiseless and scratchless.
 The scrubmobIe is light weight, small and easily set out of the way when not in use. If the base of the tray is made slightly larger it is con- venent for carrying about the mop, brush and scrubclOth as well as the pail itself.

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

Chicken mites are a constant men
ace to the flock. They curtail egg-pro-
duction. hinder growth, reduce vitality
and sometimes cause the death Of set
ting hens.
The pou1try-keeper must maintain q
constant warfare on these pests that
reduce his profits.
They multiply very rapidly in warm
weather. Their life cycle from egg to
adult requires only about a weeks
time. Blood is essential for the de-
velopment Of the mite in all stages
Of growth. They are active at night
when the hens are on the roosts. and
chicks are in the coops, sucking blood
until they are full and then returning
to cracks and crevices during the day.
To combat them. hiding places must
be reduced to the minimum, and an
effective spray must penetrate every
crack and crevice where they may be
hiding.
There are . number Of good mix
lures that have proven effective in
controlling these insects:

To be the most effective, the solu-
tions should be forced into all badly
infested quarters; and sides, floor and
even roof must be treated.
The work should be done on pleas
ant days when the flock can be out

may be closed for a few hours after
applying the mixture so that the wood
work may dry. Keep the pests in sub
lection by frequent applications of
some mixture during the summer
months.

Grizzly Bear Is Fond of
Big Variety of Eatables

The appetite of the grizzly is one
of the few drawbacks to his domestica-
tion. His tastes are not limited, but
he deals in large quantities. In some
respects the grizzly is a dainty feeder.
He is fond, for instance. of violets, and
will eat several pounds If he can find
them. He likes rosebuds and will de-
YOUR almost any sort Of bulb. On the
other hand, he will eat meat Of any
age. Apples and turnips are perhaps
his favOrite delicacies. but he also Is
fond Of honey. Usually. he eats the
bees with it. Wasps, yellow jackets,
grasshOppers, ants and their eggs,
bugs and all sort Of grubs are also ON
his menu. Other delicacies which he
enjoys are snakes, rats, mice and rab-
bits.

A Good Kind Of Dessert.

There is no dessert more wholesome,
attractive and well liked than fruit.
Muskmelons. watermelons, berries Of
various kinds in season when grown in
ones own garden or purchased at a
reasonable price, are wonderful savers
of time in dessert making.
When one cannot afford to serve
fruit as full dessert it may be used
as a garnish, thus helping out the ap-
pearance and flavor as well as the cost
Of the dessert.
Junket is most wholesome and de-
licious dessert and when garnished
with a spoonful of sugared. fresh fruit,
is satisfying and inexpensive.
