live entirely on boiled milk, toast and
soft boiled eggs, and even that didn't

one kind of medicine after anoth er
until our house was almost filed
with empty bottles, but instead of
time. Finally they took me to the
hospital for treatment, and I lay
there for five long months, but even
that didn't make me well. 1t was
taking nearly every cent Of my hus-
bands wages to pay my doctor and
drug bills-our drug bill alone
amounted to STA or SIS month, and
one doctor bill amounted to $l08.
1T looked like everything had

given up all hope wheI, one cay my

home with him and asked me to take
it. He said he had been reaGIng and

MOVING PICTURES.
m1he unpardonable Sin"

What is proving to be one or the
most popular motion pictures ever
produced is the screen version OF
Rupert Hughes daring story, the
objectionable Sin" which is now
being shown at the Grand.
In almost every city in which this
master film has been shown all pre-
vious attendance records have been
broken. Critics have also been
unanimous in terming it one OF the
really great pictures Of the screen.
Extracts from reviews in each OF the
more important cities in which it has
appeared, follows:
What is the objectionable sin?
The objectionable sin is the greatest
crime known to all history--a crime
preached and carried out by master
criminal and ardently practiced by
his numerous disciples. This and
this only is the tremendous theme of
the photoplay that has been made
from Rupert Hughes novel, and
made so wonderfully, SO consumately
well that it remains ore OF the most
notable productions in photoplays-
so gripping, so terrible in its truth
to facts and at the same time artiJ-
tically fine in it's telling that its
cumulative pictures are almost more
than the human heart can endure,
says Anthony Anderson In the Los
Angeles Times.

BITTER ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT

ate Fight over johnson
Peace Treaty Amend.
ment

iIUnited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA bitter
attack upon President Wilson by
Senator Reed, Missouri, marked the
opening oil the senate fight over the
Johnson peace treaty amendment to-
day.
The amendment would equalize the
vote of the United States and Great
Britain in the league Of nations
assembly.
Reed, in a speech to the senate,
declared the presidents statement at
San Francisco that this country with
its one vote to Great Britains six
cannot be outvoted, is erroneous to
the last degree"
"The president disregards the fact
that when the United States is a
party in interest, 1t is denied the
right to vote at, all. In dispute be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain where neither are permitted
to sit in Judgment, the five British
colonies and dominions are, as indie
pendent self governing bodies, per.
mitted to cast their votes"
Reed said that President Wilson
was mistaken when he says that the
assembly of the league is largely an
international debating society" with
no real power.
Reed delivered bitter attack upon
President Wilson, in the course of
which he declared:
"trhe man who is willing to give
to any nation or assemblage of ma.
lions the right to mind the business
of the American people, ought to dis
clami American citizenship aid emf

Harry Carey, star of the Universal

will be seen at the Colonial theatre
Tuesday and Wednesday, probably
receives more letters from children,
both boys and girls, than any other
star in FINLAND.
1t is not because Harry is dare
devil in the saddle or quick on the
trigger, but because he is human. His
whimsical and unaffected ways are so
human that the youngsters do not
seem to realize he is merely acting.
They tell him so and he is never too
busy to overlook their letters.
On his recent tour of the country,
Carey told how his photoplays are
made and related the dangers and
sport that are combined in making
thrills for the celluloid reels.
