STRAND.

The Strands big programme for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is one of the Jest shows seen at the Strand since the Strand changed it's policy. Chief Little Elk will be seen in a spectacular revue. All special scentry is to be used Little Jerry, alias the Mite of Mirth, who is only forty-two inches tall, will also make his appearance in his latest songs and stories which will be sure to make you laugh Duncan and Albert are two very clever. entertainers who will also make their debut at the Strand with their line of talk and funny par oClieS.
 Marguerite Courtot and George Lar kin and an all star support will be shown on the screen in The Natural Law, a picture that has been adapted from the play of the same name that had a run of eight months at the Republic theatre, Ney- York city, seven. reel special production.
 France Films, Inc, has made a seven reel screen version of The Natural Law" from Howard Halls stage play of the same name. Mar guerite Coutot is featured in the film with Howard Hall and George Lar directed by Charles H. France. For 'sex play the subject is handled most de1icately and could not possibly give offense to the most prudish. To those unfamiliar with the story. the ending in the piece is in doubt until the final clinch and hence sustains it's interest right through. This picture will create a large amount of discus sion among the people who go to. see it. After emerging from the theatre tho question will arise whether the girl made the right selection between the two men, a youth with all the at tractiKeness of Tirtality; the other ma tured with fine balance between head and heart, who at all times stood will ing to sacrifice himself for the girls happiness. Miss Courtot played the Heroine with spirit and dash that might he called inspiration. and the two men. Hall and Larkin. are ex- cellent types for respective parts. The minor roles were adequately inter preted and the direction and photogra- phy up to the best standards Of ''The Natural Law can be set down as one of the feature successes of the year.

PRICES IN STATE

Interesting Reports to Me-
/, braska Food Director
Silks Jump $1.50 a
Yard Over Night.

Lincoln, Feb. "a. - Especial. y
Complaint cards are being received
by Mrs. c. G. Ryan, head of the de-
partment in charge of solving the
high cost of living, which shows that
brown sugar has wide range lin
price in some of the towns of the
state, the prices RUNNING all the
way from II to Is cents.
Milk in Lincoln appears to be sold
at a greater margin in some stores
than in others, the complaints show
ing a difference of cent quart.
The matter of weights is also a
proposition which will demand at
tention, according to Mrs. Ryan.
Cartons appear to be very deceptive
and size is mo authority for the
amount of contents, some of the
larger ones appearing to contain less
than the smaller ones.
Granulated sugar runs from IL
cents pound to % cents, accord
ing to the nerve" of the seller and
the susceptibility of the buyer.
The attention Of Mrs. Ryan has
been called by certain lady in Lin
coin who went to store and pur-
chased several yards OF silk. The
next day she found she was needing
a few yards more and on going
back discovered the price on the
same bolt had gone up $l.50 a yard.
Even the complaints have entered
the automobile field and man out
in the state complains that the auto
mobile garages in his town have en-.
tered into a combination and as a
result he has to pay SIS a montf,
