Here is the very best press agent
story we have received this year
and it is all about Irene Rich, the
Buffalo girl who upset all movie"
presidents by becoming a leading
woman over night. She was an or
phan and a clerk in a department
store until she took her courage
and determination in both hands
and made her way to Los Angeles.
Camoufiaging the dreadful truth of
her screen inexperience almost re-
suited in her swift dismissal from
the studio when it was found she
knew nothing of makeup and had
never been before a movie camera
in all her young life. Luck in the
shape of Kitty Gordon, however,
came to her rescue Miss Gordon
kindly taught her the mysteries of
the grease paint and in adele" she
did so well and photographed so
wonderfully that Miss Rich was
given the job of leading lady in
Dustin Farnum's next picture, "A
Man In the Open"
There is no girlish romance
about my going into pictures" says
Miss Rich. Il deliberately decided
to see what I could do. I admit luck
was with me-and OF course luck
might not be with the next girl who
tries it"
OF course, we expect to get many
more such yarns before the next
New Years eve, but this is pretty
good for a starter Maybe the next
star will spring from a munitions
plant or something like that

"A1I the world loves a lover"
For this reason, if for no other, the
beautiful love story by Z. Lloyd

everybody. 1t deals with the trials
and triumphs of true love battling
emnity and cavil. The part

Aerial Spying Of Great
Value and Use to Troops
In Country Of the Enemy

In Flanders an airplane goes over
the lines, and from 5000 to 5000 feet
photographs the enemy's country,
trench system, lines Of communication
or a battery area. These photographs
tell the truth accurately, asserts a
writer in Century Magazine. They
are the ultimate spies and are CORE
spondingly valuable. From such
photograph lantern slide is made,
and the image, enlarged to any desired
scale, is projected upon screen.
where it is painted in colors, thus
furnishing an exact picture of the area
as seen from the airplane. The pic
ture is then stretched upon frame,
underneath which tiny electric bulbs
are placed. Around it, perched on
platform ten feet high, cadets are
seated with maps of the district, also
drawn from the actual photograph. Be
side each cadet is wireless dispatch
ing key. BY a simple system Of squares
and subdivisions, marked on the maps
and lettered and numbered, any point
on the picture may be designated ex-
actly in very brief message. The
cadets orientate their. maps and keep
sharp outlook on the picture below.
Suddenly a flash appears among some
buildings, in q field or behind wood.
Immediately it's location is noted on,
the key-maps Of the cadets, and the
corresponding code message is buzzed
down to the hypothetical British bat
terry below. In a few seconds this
battery is seen to fire in succession
Of: tiny flashes, and, after the time Of
the shells flight has passed, another
flash indicates it's burst near the hos
tile target. This target is the center
Of an maginary clock dial, twelve
O'clock being considered due north,
and the other figures representing cor
responding directions. A series Of
concentric lettered circles indicate sue
cessive distances. Thus the shells
burst is instantly located and buzzed
down to the battery, telling the gun
ners just how far wrong the shots are
falling. These make the proper cor
rections, and shots continue to fall
closer about the target until the holy
task of silencing another Hun battery
is finished. The actual work at the
front toward which the training is di-
rected constitutes one Of the prime
factors in the present warfare. One
has only to recall Hindenburg's Off
cial statements as to the number Of
guns destroyed in a single month on
the western front; to comprehend it's
Importance.

Sulphur and Nobody
Will know.

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages Of youthful appear
ance. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just few applications Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
hundred-fo1d.
n Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store bottle of,
.'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients. Thousands Of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepara-
ton, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, BESIDES no one can possibly
tell, as It darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, its natural color is restored
and It becomes thick, glossy and lus-
trous. and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite.

OBITUARY.
MRS. JOHN GOLLN.AST. 3

Mrs. John Gollnast, nee Lena Timm,
who was in the prime Of her life being
only IS years of age, died quite unexpect-
edly1ast Thursday morning at o'clock.
She had been brought to the Union
hospital about week previous to that
day suffering from a .hemorrhage.
Another hem orrhage at the hospital broke

Peanut Not a Nut; Be,ongs
to Same Family Of Plants
As the Pea and the Bean

We have known so little about the
humble peanut of years past that most
Of us did not know. it was not a
nut at all, states a writer in Cincin-
natl Times-Star. AS matter of fact
it belongs to the same family of plants
as the pea and the bean.
This once unappreciated article is
very rare vegetables which contain
what is known in the chemical world
as complete protein"
This discovery is of very great i'm
portance to the human race, for the
peanut may be grown over very large
part of the warmer areas Of the earth.
There are millions of square miles
in the United States admirably adapt
ed to the raising of the valuable food
product.
The peanut has come very slowly
into it's full estate. For generations
1t was looked upon merely as pleas
ant tidbit for children. The peanut
long has been associated with the
amenities of the monkey house and
the three-ringed circus, but the dis
covery that it is a prime and almost
perfect article of food will lift
the peanut out of its former .1owly
place. It is definitely stated that one
pound of peanuts is equivalent in
nutritive value to three pounds Of
meat. Let's save more meat for our
allies and give the peanut a place Of
honor at our dinner tables. There are
numerous ways in which it may be
eaten. Give it its place in the sun.
