or incident from the text Of the orig
insl novel.
There are many well meaning critics
who disregard the fact that La Dame
aux Camelias' was written by Dumas as
a novel in twenty seven chapters four
years before it was produced as a play
at the Vaudeville in Paris. And as the
motion picture version I am using was
made from the original story. and not
from the play which followed, | am ad-
herring absolutely to the text in the in
depreciation Of the final scene
Nazimova here refers to the original
text in the Dumas novel published by
the Lotus library and distributed by
Breutapo The death of Camille Is de-
scribe ed TO her lover, Armand in a letter
from the nurse who. under date OF ''Z2nd
February, O'Clock p. IN" Quoting from
the text on page $50 chapter 26) writes :
IAN is over. 1t became evident about
? o'clock this afternoon that Marguerite
was dying-two OF three times she
breathed your name"
at is further made clear" says Nazi-
nova, that Armand WAS nowhere near
Camille at the time OF her Death, when.
in the next chamter, Armand explains
his absence by saying My father con
frmed 1t in a letter."
In view Of the facts above set forth,
ii would seem that Nazimoya is justified
in placing herself right before her pub
lie.

Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Cure-AlI-1.


A girl of nineteen has just been
tried for the murder of a man with
whom she played about and had what
she called "a big time The girl justi-
fled herself by saying that she was a
baby vamp, and just couldn't help
vamping men"
''Humph," commented a middle
aged woman, IT could cure her of
vamping. I'd give her six months of
scrubbing floors, six months of the
cook-stove, three months of dish
washing. and three months of inten
sive sock darning. She wouldn't be
vamp after this course"
She wouldn't, and there wouldn't be
so many baby vamps roaming about,
seeking whom they may devour, If
every mother saw to it that her daugh-
tiers took e good precautionary dose of
homework every day. For there is
nothing more salutary for the mortal
as well as the physical system, than
making beds and sweeping floors and
cooking. There is no more altruistic
thing in the world than making a
home. 1t sobers and enobles one. No
body ever heard of a light-minded
cook, or the girl who did the family
darning not being able to make her
eyes behave. The maiden who keeps
her room spick and span, and spotless,
is in no danger of bespattering her
spiritual garments with the mud of
the streets.
There is no doubt that what we
used to call "woman's work" is fine
remedy for all that ails the modern
girl, and it is great pity that mothers
have not enough sense to see this,
and enough backbone to apply it. If
they had, they would save themselves
many bitter tears, and many a way
ward girl from going to destruction
The trouble with mothers is that
their love and tenderness crowd out
11nir mr. ind ant
They are so anxious to save their girls
from all the cares and burdens of life,
that they fail to realize that a girls
mind and hands must be employed
some way, and that if they are not
filled with worthy employment they
will find an unworthy one.
Every one of US could name a hun
dred cases in which a poor mother
slaves morning, noon and night in the
kitchen, while her daughters CAD the
streets; where mothers toll at the sew
ing machine making their daughter S
pretty clothes, while the girls keep
dates at the drug stores, or make eyes
at strange men on the street; where
mothers are literal slaves in order
that their daughters may be free to
go to the movies and dance halls.
1t would save these girls if they
had to take turns with mother at the
cook stove, and the washtub, and the
sewing machine. If Mamie knew she
had to go home and get dinner for
father and the boys, she wouldn't have
so much time to engage in persiflage
with the soda fountain clerk, or pick
up some good-looking strange man
with a rowing eye for just such little,
idle purposeless flappers as she is
All young people are full of energy,
they are restless, they must have
something to do and to think about,
and it passes comprehension why
mothers do not face this fact, and see
that if the children are not given the
right thing to do, they will will do
the wrong thing.

TAXING OUR SAVINGS.

''why should spending rather than
saving be taxed?" is asked by oppo-
nents of a sales tax. j. Frederick
TaIcott, chairman taxation committee,
New York board of trade and trans
portation, in a letter to business men,
says regarding this question;
Savings, except in few and very
rare instances, represent what is left
10 the average man and woman from
his income, after he or she has ex-
pended for the necessaries of life! as a
general rule, only so much as is abso-
lutely unavoidable. Savings are the
fruits of self denial, economy and pru-
dence, all of which tend to character
building and substantial citizenship.
This should not be discouraged by i'm
posing a direct tax upon it, while
profligacy, extravaganza and all un-
necessary spending go scot free. AS a
matter of fact a sales tax would take
only very small portion OF the money
that is spent by the average man and
woman. y tax upon spending is als5
a tax on saving, because. to just the
amount of the tax is the power to save
spending it is not so seriously felt nor
so discouraging. as to see the fruits OF
self denial taken away. Spending IS
done from aggregate resources. The
tax on saving is taken from treasured
resources. and therefore, more dis
tressing. The tax on spending is from
the abundance, and in most cases. not
felt at ALL"
But worse form of taxation ever
than a tax on savings is the one popu-
lar among state governments, which
levies on the peoples debts. This ii
seen in it's most Objectionable form II
the tax on mortgages. Recently there
has appeared a movement in favor o.
taxing municipal and government
bonds.
No more equitable form of taxation
than the sales tax ever has been pro
posed.

view says: Opposition to the sale.

JUST FOLKS

STRENGTH.


A little mirth, little care
burden now and then to bear.
A passing smile, a fleeing tear.
These mark the days of every year,
And life is good or life is bad.
According to the faith we've had
Blue skies and sunshine come and 60
The cherries winds of winter blow
Across the path of life, and then
The spring tine blossoms bud agar,
And all must carry sorrows cross,
For who would gain must suffer loss.
Life rests US that we may endure;
There is no door that is secure
Against despair and hurt and woe,
All these the richest man must know,
And at the last his worth is known
According to the strength he's shown.
Nor gold nor fame can keep away
The tempest when the clouds grow gray,
All that can live unto the last
Are memories Of the happier past:
Thus life is good or life Is bad.
According 10 the faith we've had.

Those who are engaged in making
war on tuberculosis may be able to
derive encouragement from the sue
cess which has attended the fight
against typhoid fever. This disease
is rapidly disappearing from the rec
ords of American mortality, according
TO evidence offered by the Journal OF
the American Medical association In
it's ninth annual survey of typhoid fe-
yer The survey relates to the sixty
eight cities of the United States with
population of more than 1OO,Oeo.
These cities in 1920 had population
of twenty-seven and one-third millions
and there occurred in that year total
of 1907 deaths from typhoid fever
This is equivalent to rate or 81
deaths per 10000 OF population. For
fiftv-seVen of these sixty eight cities,
figures are available for the full eleven
wears. 1910 to 1920. In 1910, the
typhoid fever rate was 1875 per 1OO,-
900; in 1920, the same group OF cities
had a rate of 3.5, or about one-s1xth
as high. This shows how rapidly TINS
disease has declined during the dec
sde. The picture is even more en-
cou aging if we concentrate upon the
largest cities, namely. those having
1000 and more of population.
There are twelve such cities, and their
death rate for typhoid in 1920 was
only 2.s per 100000. The city of
New York, with it's nearly six millions
of population, had rate of "a; and
Chicago. one of IL per 100000.
