Priscilla Dean in "The
Virgin of STEAMBOAT"
Friday, Opera House

THE Virgin of Stamboul," mas
ter-feature produced by Universal
Jewel, with Priscilla Dean as the star
and directed by Tod Browning, is the
announcement for Friday and Satur-
day at the Augusta Opera house and
has aroused unusual interest among
the theatregoers of this city and vi
cinity.
1.-The Virgin of Stambour' is. her.
aided as one of the important photo
productions of the year, presented
in a big way. 1t unfolds the life of
the mysterious East and reveals the
customs Of the Turk and the Arab,
from the mosque at Constantinople
to the great Arabian desert. 1t lays
open the heart of STEAMBOAT with its
filth and Indebtedness, its sin and in.
iquity. 1t leads through the door of
the sacred temple, through the for
hidden portals of the harem, through
the vast stretches of the arid waste.
1t shows what happened when a
beautiful beggar girl, Sari, turned

there to lift her voice in supplica-
ton to a God she had never known
before. What she saw as she knelt
there, her eyes lifted to Allah, will
make the blood of the bravest man
boil, and is the beginning of a fusil-
lade of tense situations following
each other with machine gun-like
rapidity.
Whole streets and sections Of
STEAMBOAT. the wickedest city in the
East" have been reproduced for this
production, and many weeks were
spent on the desert for certain
scenes in this photodrama.

Priscilla Dean greater opportunity

and reports that the Marketing Com

been in negotiation with the Boston

the exception of H. P. Hood & Sons,
who stood out for that price for the
months of July, August and Septem-

Decrease in Deaths from Measles

Decrease in Deaths from Measles
A remarkable decrease in the num-
Der Of deaths from measles in Maine
during the past year has been
brought to light in the compiling of
vital statistics by the Maine Depart
ment Of Health. There were but four
such deaths during the past year as
compared with 102 measles deaths for
the preceding year. The death record
for the past year is further remark
able in that a decided decrease is
noted in every disease except cancer
and whooping cough. In the case of
whooping cough. jump Of "a deaths
in 1918 to 104 in 1919 is shown,
while with cancer, the number Of
deaths has increased over so.
The efforts of the State Department
of Health and of local and private
health workers is health productive
in Maine at least if vital statistics
tell the truth. To such efforts is the
| decrease in measles attributed as
particular stress is being placed upon
the education of the parents by such
workers. to a realization that measles
as well as the other so called Chill
dren's diseases" is not necessary and
must not be treated too lightly.
Thousands Of mothers are now COM
ing to understand that it is nothing
less than criminal to wilfully expose
their children to measles just ito get
it over with"
Looking back upon the statistics
for the disease during the entire pe-
riod since 1892 when Maine was ad-
mitted to the registration area, it is
seen that no such small figure for
yearly deaths has previously been at
tanned. The greatest number of mea-
sizes deaths occurred in 1917 when the
figure was 147; 1906 recorded 105
deaths; and 1918. 102. Way back in
1895 but eight deaths were credited
to measles while for the entire period
of 20 years. the average number of
such deaths has annually approx

have followed has almost reached
