ability to make live character of varying emotions upon the silver sheet. In this picture, Mir Salisbury plays two distinct characters, that is the same character, but in different environment and experiences. Tony, the poor Italian modeler in clay, has nothing in common with Tony the swashbuckling, dashing cattle baron of the western plans. The situations are intense, the action rapid and the story an appealing one from the poor Italian immigrant in the Big City to the same Tony one year later, when the spirit of life and preserva- ton have awakened in him the Sleeping Lion" of bravery and cour- age. The remaining screen offerigs are many and meet with comedy and news. The vaudeville program con- tains four acts of big caliber, with variety of singing, musical and comic material from the latest and best big time attractions.

FLYLESS TOWN.
Saranac Lake, N. Y., Claims That Dis-
 tinction Among Cities.

Saranac Lake, N. Y, Sept. 29.- Health auth critics of Saranac Lake declare that this probably is the first 'f1yless town in the world. Health Officer Trembley reports that, despite unusually hot weather in June and July, there are hardly any more flies here than most places have in January and that next year there will be none at all.
 It cost the town about $1,OOO to eradicate the fly nuisance which was accom- plished by requiring that ma nure be scheened and frequently re- moved.
 Dr. Trembley regards Swat the f1y' campaigns as useless and says the only way to eliminate flies is to put a ban on all their breeding places and he adds, that this can be done

(From Joan to DOlly) Bentsville, Tuesday Evening

(ITrom Joan to Dolly)
 Bentsvlle, Tuesday Evening. My Dear Dorothy:
 After the gorgeousness of your millionaire palace car and the adVeD- ture of travel and luxury, what can I write of Bentsville that will interest you?
 Life moves quietly here. Lizzie Nash has a darling baby girl, born Sunday night. And the new Hall was opened Saturday with wonderful costume dance. Randy and I went as Queen Eliza beth and Sir Walter Raleigh and Randy sent everybody into gales of laughter by spreading his cloak at the most unexpected moments for me to walk over.
 Randy has bought little house on F'ern-av at a bargain, He thought al first he would sell it again, but has decided to keep it instead
 Oh, it's such a sweet place, Dolly! Stone and shingle. built since you were here, with the shingles stained green and a green roof and solid wood shutters, also green. There is squatty front door with a Tagged path and grass growing between the stones.
 We have a lot of joy. he and I, after work each day, building window seats, making garden and fussing with the little grounds. Randy is fixing 8 clearing in the woods back of the cottage into what he calls the Japanese tea garden He has taken lot of trouble to get bamboo rods for fencing, and a queer straw thatch for the roof of the summer house which shelters the table and bamboo stools. He is always sending away 1 for special things that can't be got in Bentsville-strange stone lanterns 1 grass mats and things that won't be 1 hurt by weather.
 ''It would be a nuisance" he says, 1 Ito have to lug all the furnishings 1 indoors every time it rains"
 I call that thoughtful for a man! But maybe l am a bit prejudiced in l favor.
 He has piped water from the lake l to make a little fishpond and a fool ish fountain that gushes at the push of a button.
 We are trying to make the place 1 a mass of harmonious color. I have planted a million nasturtiums and | sweet peas. There are loads of perennials to keep the place gay year after year.
 The windows are wide and most of hem open outward like little doors with leaded panes. The rooms are flooded with breeze and sunshine and am putting up curtains little by title as I get the ideas from the home l magazines.

Monroe Salisbury, appearing in the Sleeping Lion," his latest hit, at Foxs theater for the first three days of this week, has very striking and attractive role that is a sure winner from the very first foot of film. The fame of Salisbury as a screen star is not of recnt date, but dates back to a series of successful screen produc- tions that have been counted by movie critics as on a par with the best. Now "The Sleeping Lion" adds more glory to this stars fame. In this picture wider scope is given to his natural

 You can see the lake from the back rooms and porch. And how sweet and happily peaceful it is-like tired heart that has found what it was searching for!

BEAUTY TIPS FOR SPOOL GIRLS.

The young girls who are going away to school-and the young girls who are going to hunt and fill their first job-are looking about for ways to make themselves prettier-and more attrac ctive.
 The first essential Of all beauty is eatness-exquisite reatness and cleanliness of person and clothes
 The daily bath is absolutely nec- essary to the girl who longs for a clear fresh complexion which needs no cosmetics.
 .. Young girls have little need for the massage creams of older women. but even girls need good cleasing cream to take out dust, and to warn away chaps.
 Girls with oily sin should use daily, on bits Of absorbent cotton the following lotion: 5 and 1-2 ounces of rose water, 1-2 ounce of alcohol, and 1-2 dram of boric acid.
 A saturated solution of borc acid used night and morning with an eye cup, will keep the eyes bright and rested and the lids in healthy condi- ton. A very little vaseline rubbed into lashes and brows will make them grow.
 The neat, well-grOomed school or business girl will be sure that hooks, eyes, buttons and snappers are al- ways in place on her belts and blouses and packets so that hec clothes never gape or sag unbecomingly.
 Shoes, too, we'll polished, and with straight heels and neat faces mark the well-groomed girl, and so do the white shoes kept absolutely clean. Shoe trees for each pair owned is an excellent investment. They cost little, and save time and money keeping the shoes in good condition.
 No business girl should attempt to wear a wash shirtwaist more than one day-unless she is extremely neat and careful about her clothes. Look ing capable and prosperous invites real prosperity and the world respects the person who respects herself enough to be clean and neat.
 Remember to use one of the many toilet preparations designed to prevent excessive perspiration and it's odors. Use little perfume. Perfect clean illness is the sweetest fragranc.
 Keep the hair clean and shining by frequent shampoos and nightly brushings
 Beauty pays--in social life and business. Invest time and thought in it if you would have returns.

A Free Oatmeal Prescription Does IT.
Work Overnight.

New York: ut Is my own discovery,
and it takes just one night to get such
marvellous results" says Mae Edna
Wilder, when her friends ask her about
her wonderful complexion and the i'm
proved appearance Of her hands and
arms. You can do the same thing II
you follow my advice" she says. u
feel it my duty to tell every girl and
ton did for me. never tire Of tell
ing others Just what brought about
such remarkable results. Here Is the
identical prescription that removed
every defect from my face, neck, hands
and arms. Until you try 1t you can
fern no idea of the marvellous change
ut will make in Just one application.
The prescription which you can pre-
pare at your own home Is as follows:
Go to any grocery and get ten cents
worth Of ordinary oatmeal and from
any drug store q bottle OF derwillo.
Prepare the oatmeal as directed In
every package Of derwillo and apply
night and morning. The first appli-
cation will astonish you. It makes the
skin appear transparent, smooth and
velvety. I especially recommend II for
q sallow skin, freckles. tan sun spots,
coarse pores, rough skin, ruddiness,
wrinkles and in fact, every blemish the
face, hands and arms are, heir to. If
your neck or chest is discolored from
exposure, apply this combination there
and the Objectionable defect will dis
appear. 1t is absolutely harmless and
will not stimulate the growth Of hair
No matter how rough and ungainly
the hands, and arms, or what abuses
they have had thru hard work and ex-
posure to sun and wind, this oatmeal
derwillo combination will work won
