MARY PICKFORD AT PALACE.

America's screen ldol, Mary Pick ford, is playing in her second very own photoplay. The HOodlum," at the Palace. Critics have agreed that this is her best production. Miss Pick ford is supported by an a1l-star cast, and playing opposite her in the lead ing male role is Kenneth Harlan, who was quite popular in this city some time back. as a local stock star.
 As Amy Burke. overburdened with money and luxury as a granddaush- ter of the millionaire Alexander Gu thrie, Miss Pic>ford's station in life suddenly switches to that of the ten enents where she is temporarily To- cated with her father while he writes a book on sociology.
 Acquiring the knack of becoming d rowdy comes easy for Miss Pickford In a. few weeks she has developed a BowerJ walk of acute swa cger, an as sortnent of clothing which makes all the nifty Creighen street girls wild with envy, and t knowledge of slang that would make her Fifth Avenue tutor weep.

 The star carries his audience breathlessly throush the swiftly nov ing scenes. The many various phases of New York life. of high and low degree are depicted in five reels of gripping melodrama.

A cold is simply an inharnna- ton of some part of the air pas sages-throat, larynx or bronchial tubes-just like a sore is an in f1ammation of the skin. A long continued cold means constant inflammation and this constant Inflammation frequently weakens the air passages so that they become an easy point of attack for invading germs of more serious diseases. A "cold that hangs on,"' therefore, is simply natures red lag" indicating that there is trouble below" and this warning should never be neglected.
 Nightly applications of Vick's VapoRub will aid nature to clear up that inflammation. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood : away from the congested spots

and relieve the cough. In addi- ton, the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inhamed areas. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red-then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth ing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying, swallow a small bit of Vicks the size of a pea.

  the tone did more to compose Alfrel Durl<ee than anything else could have done. Alfred loves his mother dearly. and I saw that this seizure of hers had done something months of active campaigning had not achieved--made him panic stricken as a nervous schoolgirl:
 The hand chafing and the cold water kept up minute or two longer and brought back my little friend to consciousness. She moaned with pain as she opened her eyes, and then in the next second shivered.
 ''So cold" she murmured, and I saw that something must be done i'm mediately about the soaked night dress.

 ''Oh. I can't" she said plaintively.

 ''Oh. What are you going to do?" she asked as he hurried to the bedside with the articles for which I had asked.
 I'll make Dicky buy you a new one.'' I said cheerfulIy. "because he soaked this one throwing water on you. But I've got to get this wet night dress off you, and this is the only way to do it.''
 I had the scissors at the neck of the gown when she pushed my hand away with unexpected strength.
 ''Why. Madge Graham." she said indignantly. This is one of my best gowns. couldn't buy one like it again in these shoddy times. You Shan't touch it.
 I felt like shaking her. but I saw that carrying my point would only mean a scene which would agitate her: therefore. with a ,shrug of my shoulders, I turned to Alfred.
