EOX'S THElATER.

Anita Stewart in "A Midnight Ro- nance" and Charlie Chaplin in "A Night at the Show' will be shown at Fox's for the last time.
 Every lover of camp life and the great outdoors will be thrilled to the core over Harry Carey's latest picture, "A Fight for Love- which will be the attraction at FOX's for the remainder of the week, commencing tomorrow. This picture is quite a change from the general run of Harry Carey pict- ures. It is big, ompelling drama with a very simple setting and few characters. There are no cowboys. but there is illicit whisl1ey trading and a ripping fight between a white man and a half breed and a strong thread of love runs through 1c all. "A Fight for Love" is rcd and white drama lice, Indians, whiskey, love and fight ing, and there are glorious bits of Canadian scenery that will command your instant admiration. You will almost smell the giant pines and hear the weird note of the horned owl and the crackle of the camp fires. Harry Carey as Cheyenne Harry the chopped rind of 1 large orange.

The dress rehear- sal last evening went off splendidly and augurs the best of success for the initial performance. The entire pro- duction promises to be most amusing and with the manner in which it will be presented tonight and tomorrow night at the Y. W. c. A. will undoubt- edly prove most interesting.
 'Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop is a play which will appeal to both young and old. It furnishes a variety of enter talnment which contains clements to please those of all ages and tastes. It is a musical fantasy which embodies clever comedy, catchy music and excel lent dance numbers. The cast of 200 includes all the creations of the toy shop, jumping jacks, paper dolls, china dolls, Noah's ark animals and letter blocks. The principals have been we'll chosen for the parts assigned to them, and the musical numbers are exceptionally well rendered. Among them are eff I Should Say l Love You" Nursery Rhymes, ?

 I was not certain how much she knew or guessed concerning Ni]1v Stockbridge's insane and absurd jealousy of me, which had so nearly proved a tragedy upon the night of the reception to Dicky at the prin- cipars home. Nor did I care par ticularly except for my fear that through some inadvertent look or gesture Dicky might suspect the truth. He had bent. toward Miss Dean as she spoke, and I saw a look of surprise flash ino his face

 She was dinpling adorably as she talked, and Dicky laughed heartily at what he evidently accepted as auda- cious nonsense. But I took advan- tage of his absorption to murmur a worried question in the ear of Alice Holcombe on the other side of me.
 "Do you think we ought to get out of here?''
 We can't" she responded prompt ly, without attracting attention both from Milly and the public, which we don't want. You see, we've already ordered, and the waiter will be here in 8 minute or two with our, food. No, there's nothing to do but to sit tight. There's one consolation, her people are all with her. With them all around her they can repress her if she goes beyond bounds. Just listen to her.

 From the other table came, the con- firmation of her words. Milly Stock bridges voice was raised shrilly.

mands in the Way of Enfranchisement
 Paris, June 6.-Women in France have hitherto been slow to make any move in politics, but a movement on their part in favor of the vote has taken recently a great step forward as is shown by a manifesto placarded opx the walls of Paris. The document sets out the claims of women to the right to vote and adds:
 "Women vote in Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Bohemia, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand"
 The manifesto is signed by the Na- ton Council of French Women, the French League for the Rights of Wo- men, the Society for the Improvement of the Condition of Women, the So- ciety for the Rights of Mankind, tie Fraternal Union of Women, and the French Women's Suffrage Union.

England's Peace Expenditure

Great Britain in the seven
weeks after the ArmiStice had a
total expenditure of over $40
million pounds sterling, whereas
the expenditures for the seven
weeks before the Armistice, at a
time when hostilities were at
their height, was just over $50
million. This indicates that
other great nations as we'll as
the United States, are finding
that they will require more
funds to get through the year
following the great war than
they did to carry on the war for
a year. This also explains the
necessity for the continued sale
of GOvernNent pcads and War

tuberculosis in Mississippi

During the year 1918, there
were reported by the physicians
of Mississippi $3.50 new cases OF
tuberculosis. About 600 men
were sent back from the Army
and Navy, because of Tuberculo-
sis. And based upon the find
ings of other states there were
approximately $500 men rejected
by the local Draft Boards on &C.
count of this disease.
During the same period there
were between 1000 and 5000
deaths in the State.
The above represents a ire
menduous and economic and fl
nancial loss to say nothing of the
sorrow and distress; and yet, it
is wholly preventable.
For further information as to
prevention and care of this most
dreaded disease, write The Ex-
