Hawaiian Feature Tonight.

~ Hawaiia is a land of romance to
every American heart, This love for
the storied isles has been only height
ened by the love we have all acquired
for those sweet Hawaiian songs which
during the last few years have found
their way to our shores. Troupes OF
Hula Hula dancers and players on the
ukelele and the steel guitar have only
tended to make tighter the bond be-
tween US and our fellow citizens on
those far away isles.
Much of the story of Farewell to
Thee" the Grand theatre attraction
today. Is laid in the Hawaiian Islands
and some Of the Interesting customs
and i -.Is are well illustrated in the
---~ry of the play.
AS Is well known there are many
volcanoes on the islands, and the
story of the play is wound around the
legend that an eruption is due to the
wrath of the god of the volcano which
can only he appeased by the offering
of one of the maidens of the tribe as
n bride to the god of the volcano.
What happens when the daughter Of
the chief of the tribe is chosen in the
traditional manner to be the living
sacrifice to the volcano furnishes the
big thrill of the love story of the
drama and one which will find an
echo In every parents heart, But it
oil turns out happily in the end, for
hearts beat warm and true in Hawaii
Just as they do here, and everything
turns out for the best in the end
there Just as 1t does here.
Some of the tropical island scenes
IN Farewell to Thee" ore among the
most beautiful scenes ever shown on
the screen and are an entertainment
in themselves in addition to the many
other wonderful features of this great
production.

For Chapped Hands!
| Mentha-S oothaline
Try This Lovely Cream for Rough,
| Chapped Hands and Skin, It's
Wonderful! Costs few Cents.

At this time of the year especi-
ally, we are all apt to be annoyed
with chapped hands. The fact
that the hands are in and out of
water-frst hot and then ex-
tremely cold, so much of the time,
tends to dry out the natural oil of
the skin causing them to become
parched. For this very reason it
is quite necessary that they have
some extra oil supplied them.
The best way to again make the
skin lovely, smooth and beautiful
is by rubbing into it a little
MISUNDERSTANDING each night for
while. This Mentha-Soothal
is prepared by the famous DIR.
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, known by
thousands of men and women all
over the world. His great repu-
tation and favor is in itself con-
vincing evidence that this prepa-
ration is one of considerable merit.
Most any reliable druggist viii
furnish you a large jar of Mentha-
Soothaline at a trifling cost. Due
to the large demand for the prepa-
ration, should your druggist be
out of it, send Coo to DR.. Pierce's
