1t is noticeable that two Catholic
priests have recently been lured from
their homes on claimed sick calls, and
murdered-the first in California a
few weeks ago and the other last week
at Leads, South Dakota. The Cali
fornia murderer was convicted, the
one in s. d. still at large-and down
at Birmingham the M. Z. Preacher,
who shot and killed Father Coyle, was
acquitted by jury-but a preacher
who has taken the life of fellow
man will have troubles from which a
jury can not save him.

RUTH is RIGHT ABOUT 1T.

Ruth Cameron in her "Side Talks"

said: Nothing in the world will make

having to do anything one doesn't like

HOW NOT TO TAKE COLD.

Some persons are subject to fire.
quent colds, while others seldom if
ever, have cold. You will find that
the latter take good care of them
selves. They take shower or sponge
bath every day in warm room,
avoid over heated rooms, sleep with
a window open or partly open, avoid
excuses, over eating, becoming over
heated and then chilled and getting
the feet wet. Then, when they feel
the first indication of cold, they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
without delay and it is soon over.
All druggists.

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
AND THE WOMEN VOTERS
(From The Ham -5nfre Review

Information. correct Or otherwise
comes from Charleston that serious
consideration is being given to the
repeal of the primary law and the
enactment of statute returning to
the convention system of nominal

1t can not be claimed that the
primary system Is perfect. Nor can
it be argued that it is the success

prophesied. That it is not conduc
tive. always, to the selection of the
best qualified persons as candidates
is unquestionably true. Nor does II
guarantee party harmony. In short
it has failed in many particulars, is
expensive and eXhausting to candt
dates. Nevertheless the legislature
should think carefully before its re.
peals the primary law.
But. there is this fact to its cred
it, Every voter has the right to go
to the primary election and cast his
or her vote for the nomination of
candidates, while few go to conven

much toward securing the nOmina-

NEW SELZNICK STAR,
PLAYS A DUAL ROLE

The newest addition to the ever

most distinguished actors of the
English-speaking stage, who makes
his appearance in 1.-THE Man Who
Lost Himself" the first of a series
of Selznick pictures featuring this
famous player.
1.-THE Man Who Lost Himself"
from a book by H. de We're STAG
poole, will be shown at the "B'

day.
1t is described as a mystery
comedy drama with setting in Lon
don. 1t concerns the adventures Of
an American who goes to sleep one
night as plain Victor Jones, of
Philadelphia, and awakes the next
morning as the Earl of Rochester,
with houseful of ornate servants
and disagreeable relatives, a beau
tiful wife from whom he is sup
posed to be estranged, and a repu-
tation that makes him one of the
most Stunned men In English polite
society.
Poor Jones has an equally hard
time living up to the title or trying
to get away from IT, and his numer-
