Revelations of a Wife

OF course! The bachelor dinner!
I laughed as I made my way to
the door through which Mrs. Lux

the anguish which sounded in
Leila's voice was in some way con-

both Dicky and Alfred had attended

word that il would be so late an
affair that he and Alfred would
spend the night at a Cedar Croft no

there, l questioned myself, few girls

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to BE Assured for the
WORLDS Greatest Scourge, the
Plague Of leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science has at last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure Of this
worlds most appalling disease. OF the
142 former lepers who have been pa
rolled from the Kalibi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
back. s - &A..r {#
It Is peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer,
should eventually be controlled by one
of the Oldest remedies ever used for
1t. To modern science is due the dis
covery OF the bacillas Of leprosy, but
Its cure Is accomplished with refined
chaulmOogra oil, the essence of an In
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers In the. East for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac-
tice not only in the oil but in its appli-
cation. II s
To world which has 100000 lep-
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili Is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers, Japan 10000. And the
United States has had a big leper rrob-
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases OF
leprOsy in the continental United
States are few-perhaps not 3OO-we
have thousands Of lepers In our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can 60 ahead there as
1t has proceeded in Hawaii. 49,. ~

"BLACK BEAUTY" AT ELKO
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW

BY, a unique combination OF two
stories, one by Anna 6ewell and the
other lby Lillian and George Ran
dolph Chester, Vitagraph produced
one Of the biggest pictures OF the
year in "Black Beauty" which will
be shown at Elko theater tonight,
also Tuesday matinee and evening.
The original story by Anna Sewell
has been the most popular work OF
fiction for over forty years. Today
it is the eighth best seller OF all
books published For years this work
was considered impossible to pictur-
lie because of the lack of connected
story in relation to the human char
acters. Only that part of the human
story that came within the vision OF
Black Beauty was related in the mar
rative. The inside story was im-
piled; but for years no author felt
equal to the task OF supplying the
missing link., 1t was thought by
many to be impossible to add an in.
side narrative and still keep Anna
Sewell's story intact. 1t remained
for Lillian and George Randolph
Chester to devise means whereby
both partied might be united and YET
have each independent Of the other
This has been tried before in pictures
but was unsatisfactory owing *

is the first film in which this unique
method of story telling has been sue
