CARMEN" TONIGHT.

In this photoplay Miss Farrar is
seen as a cigarette girl, wild, pro-
miscuous in the bestowal of her af-
fections, absolutely without soul, and
whose stock-in trade is her devilish
beauty and her enhancing charm.
This celebrated story by Prosper
Merimee pictures Carmen as a cigar
cite girl, who, after ensnaring Don
Jose, a young military officer. in her
tolls, laughs at and mocks him when
he kills another officer in her de-
Tense. Still believing In her faith
fulness, Don Jose is unconvinced of
her lack Of love for him until he real
Lies that she the confidant Of Esca-
milo, a toreador, and in revenge for
her perfidy he Stays her in a scene of
remarkable power at the bull ring.
The picture is one filled with thrills
and unusual heart appeal. Miss
Farrar is admirably supported
throughout by an excellent staff of
players, chief among whom are Wal
lace Reid, Pedro de Cordoba and
others. Carmen" is showing at the

"A FIGHT FOR LOVE-"

Harry Carey in "A Fight for
Love" is the attraction at the Rex
theatre tomorrow. In this photoplay
he takes the part of Cheyenne Harry.
In this play he may, have been in
nocent of cattle-rustling but he
surely exhibited world Of speed for
an innocent when he beat the sheriff's
posse to the Canadian border by two
feet. Once over the border the posse
was powerless, SO Harry sat in the
shade of the international monument
and rolled cirgarette. When the
sheriff failed to catch him in d
cleverly twirled rope, he led his men
back into the cattle-country and left
Cheyenne Harry to- play hide-and-
seek with the famous Canadian
Northwest Mounted Police.

AT THE

Paul M. Potter's greatest success
since "Trilby," "A Woman's Expert
ence," in which the beautiful star,
Mary Boland, appears. was given its
premiere yesterday at the Rex theatre
where it will be shown again today
TO say that the large audiences at
yesterdays performances we're de-
lighted with this unusual production
would, indeed, be putting it mildly
they were simply enthralled; and as
many left the theatre they took &C.
casion to stop by the box office and
tell Manager Brinkman that "A
Woman's Experience" Is the best pic
ture that has ever been offered in
Bemidji. Unsolicited commentator
like this from patrons Of theatre
speaks more for the merit of a pro-
duction than anything else in the
world. 49, ~.

diaper are really all that are needed
The thick flannel bands, the wooden
skirt, stockings and cap can all be
omitted. Naturally the mother should
use judgment and see that baby is
kept sufficiently warm when the air
becomes cooler.
Several tepid baths a day during
the hot spell will do much to keep
the baby in good health.
But adults, too, should learn how
to keep cool in summer. Suitable
light clothing is important. The de-
crees of fashion should give way to
the DEGREES Of good sense. Men would
do well to copy the women and not
hesitate to appear in shirt waists.
Light colored clothing is, of course,
cooler than dark colored, and cotton
or linen cooler than wooden.
The question of diet is very i'm
portant. Just as an engineer keeps
his fire low when there Is no call for
heat, so a sensible person will reduce
the amount of food in his daily diet
This is a simple thing to do in sum-
mer, for an abundance of fresh fruits
and vegetables are available from
which to make excellent, tasty meals
Moreover, the use of such foods is
decidedly beneficial, for they supply
important elements such as mineral

salts and vitamines required by the
body. SO far as protein is concerned,
crackers and milk are excellent
sources of this important element OF
food.
A word of caution regarding drink
ing. The drinking Of large amounts
of fluids throws extra work on the
body, especially on the kidneys and
the skin. II Is just as easy to quench
the thirst with smaller amounts OF
fluid, provided one does not take
large gulps. Alcoholic beverages
should be avoided, as they only in
crease the discomfort. While much
has been said about the danger OF
putting ice directly into drinking
water, the danger has been much ex-
aggerated. If the Ice has been washed
off before being placed in the water
little harm need be feared. While
approving, therefore, of the use OF
iced water, still caution should be ex-
ercised against the drinking of ex-
cessive quantities.
For those fortunate enough to have
an electric fan available the plan may
be suggested OF having this placed Sc
that II blows current of air under the
bed. This appears to be decidedly
helpful in making for comfortable
sleep.
When possible do your strenuous
work in the early morning and late
evening when 1t is cooler.
If you have much walking to DO
take it quietly and find the shady side
of the street. Keep the mind as well
as the body cool. Don't worry. Don't
fuss. Keep serene.
Bath frequently in tepid water. An
excellent shower bath may be manu-
featured in the home with a pulley
and five gallon can to which should
be affixed some device for spraying.

MARMALADE TO
THE RESCUE

So many little ways to use familiar
side dishes. Take marmalade, for in
stance-and orange marmalade In par
ticular.
Did you ever know that it is a de-
lghtful thing with which to favor tea?
When you have prepared tea in the
usual way. say with three teaspoonfuls
OF tea to two cupfuls of boiling water.
put into each cupful Of tea which you
pour, a teaspoonful OF orange MARINA
lade, in lieu of cream and sugar.
If you want the next salad you serve
to have new, enticing flavor, combine
orange marmalade with the salad dress
ing. The proportions should be about
a quarter of a cupful of the MARINA
lade to four teaspoonfuls OF lemon Juice.
another quarter cupful OF salad oil. a
half teaspoonful OF paprika, half that
amount OF salt. and a bit of mustard.
Another accessory in the class with
salad dressing, is a sauce prepared
with marshmallows and marmalade, to
be used chiefly with buildings. Add
three tablespoonfuls OF rich milk heated
over water in a double boiler. to three
and one half tablespoonfuls OF marsh
mallow cream. When this has been
beaten until smooth, beat in an amount
of marmalade equal to that OF milk.
Marmalade Roll--To turn to some
thing a trifle more solid than sauces

is rolled out to thickness of one-half
inch, put on 1t a generous layer OF
orange marmalade, roll 1t up, closing
the ends by pinching them together,
and put in a baking dish. The top
should be sprinkled with sugar, and
the edges moistened with water. Let

ALL LOANS GUARANTEED

Government Fully Protected for All
Loans Made to Foreign Countries.
Washington, July 26.-The United
States has made no loans and assumed
no obligations to foreign governments
for which it has not taken ample Sc
curity to insure payment, Assistant
Secretary OF the Treasury Leffingwell
today told the house committee inves-
tigating expenditures in the state de-
partment No official representation
has been made by any foreign country
to the United States that these loans
or any part of them, or any obligations
of the foreign governments to the Unit
ed States should be cancelled and not
repaid. and specific denial OF such in
tended request has been made by
France, Leffingwell said.
There still exists a controversy be-
tween Great Britain and some Ameri-
can contractors over a settlement of
claims OF the latter. and between the
treasurer OF Great Britain and the Unit
ed States regarding pre-war contracts,
he added.
