sGOOD WOMEN" ASKS HOW
 FAR SHOULD A WOMAN GO

Changing times and the freedom Of modern women present conventional problem truly difficult of solution The author of Good Women" believes that it is of the same importance to- day for a woman to carefully pre- serve Her reputation as it has been in the past.
 This production, which is the Alca- gar attraction for the week goes into the problem of just how far women should go in disregarding modern con ventions.
 Katherine Brinkley, played by Rose mary Theby, believes that slavishly following the conventions of modern society is unworthy of the freedom which is woman's birthright. Following a series of adventures in New Ycrk's gay Bohemia, she eventually runs away with Nicolai Brouevitch, a Russian pianist, under the impression that she has at last met her soul mate. Broue- witch Is married man.

PUT ON WEIGHT
 IN FEW DAYS
Scientists Discover That Vita mines in Yeast Build Up Run down People-Can Now Be Taken in Tablet Form.

Scores of people who eat plenty of food, and seem to have good appetites, remain thin, anaemic and rundown, and only recently the real cause has been discovered It is Jack of vitamines. Vitamines are tiny vegetable elements. now known to exert mysterious power on the bodily cells, and thus produce en- ergy. strength and glowing health in human beings. Yet they are almost wholly lacking in the average modern diet. because our methods of food prep aration seem to kill the effect of vita-- mines in food. And now scientists have learned that ordinary yeast is wonder fully rich in vitamines. little yeast added to the meals has so helped run down people that they have put on flesh in few days. It renews the youth of prematurely old people and makes children grow more sturdy.
 Numberless experiments in the great est medical institutions have proved these facts conclusively. But the com mon yeast cake, containing only 20 per cent yeast and so per cent starch and water is ineffective. After thorough investigation authorities agree that the ideal yeast is brewers yeast, and this form of yeast has now been prepared in highly concentrated tablets. contain ing great vitamine strength and com bined with tonics, such as iron, which makes yeast more effective.
 These tablets are called IRONIzED YEAST. They are sold by all druggists and are the approved vitamine tonic treatm ent. IRONIZED YEAST tablets are convenient to carry and pleasant to take--they never nauseate. IRON FEED YEAST costs only a little more to the dose, than the common yeast cake (only 10 cents a day), and Is far more beneficial. Get a package today. Before you have finished the first box you will know they are helping you and building you up. IRONIZED YEAST also quickly removes boils, pimples, facial blemisihes, etc. Special direc- tions for children in each package.

power of the Almighty God and the
bravery Of our men we won.
Always the llth OF November will

Many a mother looked forward to
sec and welcome her son back home.
How the mother watched and waited
for him to march back home no one
will ever know but God and the little
mother.
And as the sister kisses her
brother goodbye with tears stream
ing from her eyes. but is comforted
by his fearless spirit Four long
years they wait. or perhaps longer,

brother or son marching home, they
receive Il little casket drapcd In the
American nag. ana all the memory
of him comes back in their hearts
again.
As for the unknown soldier, name
less. except that he is an American.
Perhaps he left home leaving his dear
mother to wait until his return. Per-
haps during the time OF waiting tho
little mother dropped and died just
as IA flower would wither and fade.
And he was left alone without any
one TO think OF or love him or TO
pray for his return. Hut we do not

without relatives. home or friends.
Ills heart may have longed for some
one who cared, AZ he watched the
parting Of sons. husbands. brothers
and friends.
But az we will never know We will
only leave him To rest III pence and
eternal rest until that happy day
when he will meet the loved ones
