Hidden Dangers"

Mt.ion picture producers freely state that the tastes of the average film fan are as changeable and shift ing as the winds. There was q time when romance-huge gobs of twas necessary to put a picture over. Then when they were glutted with that, they demanded pictures with adven- ture spread over them thick from the first reel to the last And so on. Lately the taste, and an almost in- satiable one. has been demonstrated for mystery stories.
 The Vitagraph Company evidently was well aware of that when they made their latest serial, Hidden Dangers" starring Joe Ryan and Jean Paige, for that chapter play pro duction is one big startling story of mystery and uncanny doings from be ginning to end One hit of the mys- tery action in this serial stands out very clearly from the rest Of the story in the eighth episode, which will be shown at the Lyric theatre today In this episode Joe Ryan plays the role or Dr. BruteH. a strange creature with good and evil personality.
 The pr. BruteN of the story is a scientist who has disccvered the SC cret of the double X-ray' and other strange powers ot nature and electri city. These he uses when in his bad moods to carry out his evil designs During the mentioned scene in the seventh episode he performs the startling feat of disso!ving Jear Paige, the heroine of the story through a wall just as if she was { cloud or spirit of some kind.

The world possesses no specific remedies against scarlet Never.
 The disease once contracted must run it's course. The chief efforts for its control, therefore, must be direct ed toward its prevention.
 The most important means for pre- venting scarlet fever consists first in the early recognition of tile cases as they occur. and second, in a thor ough isolation of those sick.
 It is most important to remember that d child sick with scarlet fever who is properly isolated does not transmit the disease.
 This isolation must be carried out for a minimum period of six weeks or longer if the mucous membranes of the nose and throat are not thor Cughly healed by that time
 Sale and thorough isolation in th; home, however, is rather difficult tC accomplish in oyercrowded city dis tricts. For this reason much atten tion must be paid to transmission O the disease.

"why Chance Your Wife"

The most talked oL picture of the year, the one which has made the largest cities gasp at the daring and truth of it's theme, Cecil B. DeMilles production. Why Change Your Wife?" is the attraction at the Central theater this afternoon and tonight and at the. Eagle Sunday and Monday.
 The story is frankly sensational for all that its theme is one which will interest everyone of mature years pre- senting the problem of now to live happily though married" Thomas Meighan as the hero married woman who had different ideas than he had He is divorced and marries again to find that his second wife pleaseS him less than the first. Then comes men tai fight between tile two women for posscssion of the husband, wife num- ber one having learned many things about the world and happiness and finds that, sine loves the man she has so willingly allowed to depart from her
 Gloria Swanson is one wife and Bebe Daniels is the other. Womans charms as we'll as woman's wits enter into the battle. All learn Il lesson before the picture is over, not the least being the man.
 It is one of the most interesting pic lures of the year. Everyone will not agree that it is the correct way to solve domestic problems such as con fronted the characters in MT De Miles story but all will agree that 1t argues well for this particular way and that it's theme is not only unusual but bold in its development. Prepare yourself for q picture sensation. Sui h gowns. such magnificence, such inter- estine incident even if it be a bit risaue. has never been made into a picture.

 Johnny was studying his lesson. Nav" he said this problem says if eggs are worth 26 cents a dozen, how much would be left out of a dollar bill if you bought a dozen at the store?"
 Huh" exclaimed Johnnie's moth CT, the eggs may be worth 26 cents, but you'd have about IS cents left out of dollar bill if you tried buy ing dozen these days"
 That didn't help Johnnie a whale of lot getting the answer teacher wanted. So He tackled his father, who often has told what a shark he was at arithmetic when he was a boy.
 Dad" Johnnie began, "the prob lem says a man goes into the store and gets pair of shoes worth S3 and suit worth SIS and gives the storekeeper a $20 bill how much does he get?'

Tt may sound unreasonable, but when l began taking Tanlac only weighed IA pounds and had not been ablt to work for over three, months. Today I have as much strength and energy as l ever had and have actu- ally gained 30 pounds in weight. In fact, I have never felt better in my life and l owe the remarkable change in my condition to Tanlac and Tan lac alone
 ITO tell you the truth, don't knew what would have become of me if it hadn't peen for this medicine, for l had just about lost my health com pletely and the treatment l was talk ing was doing me no good. In fact, I hardly had strength enough at times to, walk across the room.
 My principal trouble was indiges. tion, and I also suffered from catarrh and nervousness. My stomach was in such a weakened condition that rarely ate any breakfast and had to live on a very restricted diet.
 After reading about Tanlac I de cided one day to give it trial. and 1 t seemed to suit my case perfectly ] for in only q short time l was able l to go back to work. l just want to be eating all the time now, and everything-even onions and pork l agrees with me perfectly.

"Treasure lslanG."

In Treasure Island" Maurice Tour neur has preserved all the thrills of the romantic tale of fierce pirates, mutiny, sea battles and buried treas urc. Lovers of Stevenson will not be shocked by the directors treatment o. one of the authors most popuiar stories. MT. Tourneur is to be complimented for not trying to out Stevenson Stevenson" and for repro ducing on the screen the most exciting and picturesque parts of the story. The cave scenes and all the battle scenes were done with realism Which sent chills down thr spine and gasps through the darkcued audience
 Treasure Island is well worth sce- ing. Extract ot the criticism Of the New York Tribune for the bi" picture showing at the Eagle today and at the Central Sunday and Monday.

 Q. What is the cause of one or both eyelids to swell and present pu--y appearance in the morning, and gen. erally at other times to be full of fine wrinkles, when the lady is not old enough to have such wrinkles? It IS always the kidneys that cause 1t? Would eczema of the scalp effect the skin Of the upper eyelids and cause the puffiness and sometimes a red nessy
 The Answer.
 The "puffiness" under the eyes is often an early symptom of kidney trouble, and l would suggest that the patient go at once to qualified physl- clan and have thorough eXamina- tion made, including an analysis of the urine It is possible that the trouble is purely local, but that could only be determined as result of a medical examination

Whether Los Angeles or San An tonic is best suited to his particular chilu is a question to be decided by the doctor who has studied the case. Your friend is doIng the best thing for her little boy in seeking a suitable climate for him, but it will be necessary for her to remain in that climate long enough to break up the tendency to re- currence, and this may require several years.
