Way Down East . A Masterpiece Production

When D. w. Griffith arranged Way Down East for the screen, he not
 only created a masterpiece in moving
 pictures, but brought out those things
 that portray real life. While the
 comedy element is ever present this
 as- far overshadowed by the tragic
 noments which shares laughter with
 fears. In all respects Way Down East" is a. marvellous creation full of
 Thrills and comprehends practically 6kll that is possible in moving picture Reproduction.
 G The first scene is laid in a quaint 9httle New England village showing vthe home of an old fashioned mother sMho Gives with her daughter. Pow
 &rty strikes the home, and the daugh- 5iter leaves for Boston, to seek assist Gance from wealthy relatives. There !.the story begins depicting how real Hove finds it's way through pretentious love.
 "A Two of the most stirring scenes are sthe realistic snow storm, and the ice sJam on the river which actually oc- {. .curred on the Connecticut river, not l. far from here.
 8s Lillian Gish achieved the greatest euccess of her career in the role of Anna Moore the heroine. Especially was her acting in the THcene where she baptiZeS her own H6ying child.

He z Is an old favorite here among theatre Soers where he once played leading man in stock. Richard Bathelmess 9ras the hero, was delightful in his role tas the Squire's son.
 'fs The entire cast displayed superior skill in the manner of handling their @respected parts. The New England country characters furnished ample

THIS WEEK IS
 BREAD WEEK

Bread is the staff of life and no matter the race, age or creed, we do not hear of its elimination from it's list, of foods. The savages made it in the crudest of instruments under most adverse conditions, knowing in their savage shrewdness the value of its ingredients as a sustainer of life.
 But we of the civilized world hard ly give a thought to bread other than a pleasant food to eat with the rest of our meals. Today we have men who devote their entire time to the invention of method in baking that will give you a loaf of bread that is baked to a proper degree. Each ingredient scientifically measur- ed under most sanitary conditions, making it a most delicious eatable. Always obtainable at your neighbor- hood store fresh and clean.
 Do you appreciate the fact that to- day you do not have to stand over a hot stove and bake your own bread with the chance of it coming out poor? If you do appreciate this fact, show it by helping to make bread week a big success.

ADVICE TO THE

 N Dear Miss Ftairfax; Won't you
 please settle n little discussion? Some umo ago a group of girls, 19 and 20 went to tho theatre- Soon nfter Somebody made a remark to the ef-
 feet that mo respectable girls go out to Q play unescorted.E r Naturally this
 Remark was debated, and we have do- scidod to leave 1t to your good judg-

 t@ Bless your hearts, there's no rea-
 son In the world why a group of girls 6hOuldn't 20 to the theatre together Fl shouldn't like to see 16 year olds there unescorted. But the girl of 19 or 20 ought to be able to witness a
 fine play or a good moving picture
 without endangering her reputation
 or her moral fibre. Of course, I'm
 taking 1t for granted that no conspic-
 nous actions or loud voices marred the dignity of the group.

Bore EffectuaIly Cured.

They tell the story In one of the
local mills of man who used to
rather bore his fellow employees by
the tales of his experiences in other
factories. Finally the men decided
that they were going to "cure" him
and for week one of them asked him
about his former positions. He would
say at the end of an account, "WeIl,
how long did you work there, Jack?'
Jack, glad to find sympathetic audi
ence, explained and talked at length.
In the meantime his inquisitor kept a
strict account of the positions and the
length of time which he said that he
stayed at each. At the end of the
week he was confronted with a note
book in which were recorded his state
ments. They totaled long list Of
places and IS years of service. As the
man was not yet so the absurdity OF
1t struck everyone and they say that
he took it with good grace and mended
his ways orthwith.-Lawrence Tele-

There Is No Escape.

Dartmoor, the great English prison,
is so situated that escape is almost i'm
possible, indeed, no man has ever fin
ally got away. For miles around
stretches an expanse of wild moor
land. The plight of an ordinary per-
son. lost on the moor, is sad enough,
but how much more pitiable must be
that of an escaped convict who, like
a hunted animal, finds himself assail-
ed alike by the fury of the elements
and by the united enmity of his fell
low creatures. Often man has slip
ped away during a fog, wandered
about all night and at daybreak found
himself within a stones throw Of the
prison walls. There are many ways
into Dartmoor prison, but only one
way out-the broad highway which
the discharged convicts tread when
they leave the prison gate behind
them.

We Taste With the Nose, Really.

The sensation Of taste, while of COM
mon and constant experience, is highly
complicated in it's nature. What ID
commonly called taste is not a simple
sensation at all, but rather complex.
In addition to the actual functioning
Of the apparatus properly pertaining
to the sense of taste, the tongue re-
ceives impressions of various other
sorts, all of which go to make up this
completeness. As finally recorded in the
consciousness, the taste of any sub
stance has to do with its heat or cool
ness, perhaps with mild amount Of
pain, certainly with astringency or
acidity-which are in themselves fur
ther complexities of thermic and tac-
tile sensations-and above all with
smell. The reader will probably agree
that ice cream and coffee are entirely
different from their true selves when
served at inappropriate temperatures;
and it is matter of record that
person of the keenest taste may make
the most ludicrous errors If asked,
and with his nose stopped,
to identify substances placed in the
Post.

Brewing Tea In Tibet.

1t Is In Tibet that the art Of making
tea is really understood. To begin
with. the tea comes in bricks, fetched
by caravan from China. Mixed with
the tea leaves are usually few small
twigs, which help to prove that it is
genuine stuff. A piece is broken from
brick, ground to fine powder In a
mortar and boiled in water for FIVE
minutes, little salt is added, says the
Kansas City Star. The fluid then Is
poured through bamboo strainer into
wooden churn. A piece of butter
and some parched barley meal are con-
tributed, and the mixture is churned
for minute or so. The tea now Is
poured into a teapot and is ready to
be drunk. Each partaker draws from
the bosom of his gown wooden bowl
to serve as cup.

EnaIish Judges' Robes.

There is as much difference in the
gowns worn by British legal lights as
there is In their wigs. The robes of a
high court judge are gorgeous and i'm
posing. They are made Of rich silk and
trimmed with ermine. Then, too, high
court judges carry, but never wear,
large three-cornered hats. Judges who
preside over lower courts wear much
less gorgeous robes, and do not carry
three-cornered hats. A barrister's gown
Is made Of black alpaca or some SIM
liar material known as "stuff' in
the legal profession. 1t is only
when a barrister has become X. C.
that he may don gown of silk. For
this reason a kings counsel is often
referred to as "silk."
