Auto-intoxication can be best
ascribed to our own neglect or
car~elessness. When the organs fail
in the discharge of their duties,
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fill ones own body.
Sleepiness after meals, flushing
of the face, extreme lassitude, bill
iousness, dizziness, sick headache,
acidity of the stomach, heartburn,
offensive breath, anemia, loss of
weight and muscular power, de-
crease of vitality or lowering of
resistance to infectious diseases,
disturbance of the eye, dyspepsia,
indigestion, gastritis, many forms
of catarrh, asthma, ear affections
and allied ailments result from
auto-intoxication or elf-poisoning.
Take castor oil, or procure at
the drug store, a pleasant vege-
table laxative, called DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, composed of
May-apple, aloes and jalap.

MCCORMACK IS
 GIVEN DEGREE
 BY HOLY GLOSS

John Mccormack, the world re- nowned tenor, has the distinction of being the first singer to receive the degree of Doctor of Literature in the United States. This great honor was conferred on Mccormack by the fac uIty of the Holy Cross College, Wor- cester, Mass, on June 20th. 1917 In conferring the degree in the presence of a notable gathering which included the Governor of the State, President Dinand paid the distin guished singer the following tribute:
 ITO sing his Country's sOnge, caring naught who made her laws, was the sentiment of the seer who voiced the common feelings of his felIowmen. The soul of the nation passing through the entire gamut of change must sound the depths and at times reach to the heights of passion, hence the songs that tell this story will ever be the embodiment of the nation progress.
 ''In fullest appreciation of his deep study of Celtic and Romance Htera- ture, in hearty acknowledgment of his Cfod-giveu mission as an educator of the world in the wealth of the music and folklore of his native land and as an earnest of affection for the gifted son of Erin's soil-HoIy Cross College confers the honorary degree of Doc tor of Literature upon John NIcCor- mack
 Mccormack will sing at Polls the atre Sunday. Dec. 2l, at ? o'clock. This concert will take the place of the one unavoflably postponed by the tenor $ sore throat. Tickets bought for the Nov. 16 concert will be honored.

I'OLI'S.
Broken Blossoms.

Again has MT. Griffith proved hiF t1sht to the title of the greatest pro- ducer of motion pictures. This time he has taken one of Thomas Burke's grim tales from 'Limehouse Nights" It Is that most tragic of them all. The Chinz and the Child
 The story of Broken Blossoms" is simple and easily followed It's char acters are few but sharply drawn. Es- caping from the CrUeIties of a drunken father, a little girl of the London slums falls fainting on the doorstep of a Chinese shopkeeper. He bathes her wounds, robes her in his Costie5t Chinese silks, feeds her starved soul with flowers and a little doll that awa.kens her maternal instinct. Then he worshIps her.
 The idyI is rudely broken. The story ends with the chiId's murder by her infuriated father, and in revenge the Chink kills him, and then kills him self.
 In the course Of it's presentation Griffith gives his audience the gIamOr of the East.
 But not on this does the success .5f the picture depend; nor yet on the marvellous posing and the superb lighting.
 It is the simple, pathetic incidents of the story---incidents like that ver-to-be-forgotte smile of the gir- ---that make Broken Blossoms a great picture,
 It is interesting to find that Richard Wagner's music for the forging of the sword in "Siegfried'' has been used in MT. Griffith musical accompaniment to represent the harsh prize fighter. Have we found here the true meaning of German music?
 Miss Lillian Clish as the Girl is sweet and charming.
 Richard Barthelmess was parttcu- larly happy in the, role of the Chink. presenting the character with the re- pressiou and aIoofness which it re- quired.
 Donald Crisp as the brutal father, and Kid Mccoy as his opponent in the ring, were the other leading figures in the cast.
 The bin is completed by five acts of vaudeville.
