TIRED OF PEONAGE STORIES?
WELL. HEAR AUNT ANGELINA

placed there; the bricks in the CHM
ney are his bricks: the floor is the
floor he laid. And they stand there
today with a f1rmness that shoo1d
make Gibraltar blush.
Take the fireplaces for illustration
they are so big Santa Claus could
stand upright inside them with his
pack. And the center beam of Geor-
gia pine, black with the SCOT Of time,
has never yet burned THROUGH in all
the ninety-four years flames have
reared berseath it.
In other words. this cabin" of five
rooms and two porches is a better
house in many ways than yours or
mine.
The most striking thing about it,
however, is not it's age or it's en-
durance, great though they are, but
it's cleanliness. And with that Cen
eral Macintosh has nothing to do
it's in Angelina's hands.
Angelina's Philosophy
After we had walked through room
after room over the clean pine floors
inspecting the white counterpanes
and pillow slips and chair tides
worked in blue hemstitching by An
gelina; after we had viewed those
imposing enlarged photographs OF
the relatives of Angelina and Alfred
a number of them framed in gold
and a number mounted On their own
easels; after we had played jazz on
an organ meant only for good cid
Methodist hymns; after we had pried
and shifted in a vain search for a
single spot of dirt or a single odor
other than that of the piney woods
and after we had sat down in Ange-
lina's spotless kitchen and consumed
an even forty-flve pounds of crisp
nf NC oil
to Angelina and asked her how she
did it. how she kept her hotse SO
clean.
Honey" said Angelina. II meks
my paradise where 1 finds it. and
paradise amt no place fo' dirt
Angelina and Alfred and their
daughter, Help yo' nanny chile,
the lamps Pickering on their shiny
dark faces, the breeze blowing UP to
them from the piney woods. You
remember those sentimental stories
about the <''duarters" in slavery
time? Wen. it was like that; like
Uncle Toms cabin with no Simon
Legree in the picture.
Dog Named for Landlord
And we asked Angelina and Alfred
how much they paid Uncle" Sam
for rent. And they said it w"~ Xix;
most of his tenant farmers. one bal:
of cotton a year. which would bt
about $50 at current prices.
And we noted that Angelina had
christened her dog "Sam," after
uncle" Sam, and that she said "Uu-
Gle" Sam would do anything for
them because they would do any
thing for "Uncle' Sam. Or. as she
put it
Treat folks right, and dey treats
you right"
And
But really, that's all. Perhaps il
isn't much to write about. either. Blu;
that's the way with contentment anG
happiness. Scandal and evil alway IS
grab the front page.
And yet. sitting there and TALKING
to Angelina and Alfred. one coli:
hardly believe that, out there in the
| darkness only a few miles away, was
a murder farm" and a Yellow river
There was, of course. And. Of
course. it had to be written about
But it's fair, don't you think
| to write about Angelina and Alfred
| too?

DODSON WARNS
CALONEL USERS
It's Mercury! Attacks the
Bones, SaIivates and
Makes You Sick

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cali
omel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn' t
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because 1t is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful of bod
sons Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up, feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money is waiting for you.-(Advt0

PICTURESQUE Scenes
IN bring HIM IN"
Earle Williams Picture, At Opera
House Tonight, Made In Kern
River Section.

A fence made of timber sixty feet
long and three feet through at the
base Is shown in the Earle Williams
production, Bring Him In which
will be the attraction at Washington
Theater Saturday. The action was
made for the most part in the Kerl
River section of California around one
Of the most picturesque locales of the
west Log cabins, long shots showing
snow covered mountains in the dis
tance, groves Of beautiful white birch
and landscapes that would be credit
to any artist make the production a
veritable travelogue.
The story itself is filled with action,
showing the activities of the Canadian
northwest mounted police and British
Columbia. The star has the role of the
hunted man and rises to great heights
in emotional and dramatic action. He
is forced to fight his way, however, in
much Of the film and carries away
added laurels with the production.
This is the first picture which Mr.
Williams has directed himself in as
ISOLATION with Bert Ensminger, and
the star proves himself very capable
director.

ICE SCENES IN

FULL Of THRILLS
Great Griffith Picture Opens n Weeks
Engagement In Maysyille ut
The Washington The
ater Monday.

The dangers Of the scenes on the Ice
In the D. W. Griffith production Of
Way Down East" were real not
only immediate through likelihood Of
drowning in raging torrent of Icy
water, but also through the probable
ity Of colds and pneumonia. In fact a
number Of the helpers who worked so
that the rescue spectacle that will
thrill every onlooker at the Washing
ton Theater next week should be sue
cessful, acquired severe colds and sew
eral were down with pneumonia. Mr..
Griffith himself fell on the ice and cut
his cheek so badly that he had to give
up directing for several days, and
Lillian Gish, who is seen floating on
an Ice floe to destruction over fall,
was frostbitten on her cheeks through
exposure to blizzard.
1--WE worked for long time in the
snow and Ice scenes" says Miss Gish.
Most Of the time we worked alone,
for the weather was terrifically cold,
When there was something Of mild
ness in the air, the country side turn
ed out to observe us. Mr.. Griffith spur
red us on and he did not ask anyone to
do anything that he would not himself
do Mr.. Barthelmess was warm
enough in his heavy fur coat and /
think he was too warm when he had
to carry me about. My garments were
lighter, they were so of necessity be-
cause of the part. OF course that way
of laying on the ice with my hand in
the water was anything but joy. We
would get through with the scenes as
quickly as possible and there would
be some one on the bank to give me
heavy wrap and to serve hot coffee
The only way could get my hands
warm was to grasp mechanical hand
warmers and to thrust them in my
pockets.
Struggling through the blizzard
was the most exhausting part of my
work. We couldn't photograph every
day but were obliged to wait until
conditions were just right. Every
snow storm would be greeted with
delight and we bundled up at once to
20 out into the storm. We were in
New England and there weer some
truly frigid days and nights But then
the spring came and we had finished
the picture and getting those beauti-
full vernal glimpses that are so great
ly admired in the picture. We had a
great deal to do and we kept steadily
at it. No one relaxed in effort and we
could feel that Mr.. Griffith was Great

completed work after ten months OF
effort-and a real hit"
