CARE OF THE EARS
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

the drum membrane which is an ex-
| tremely thin membranous tissue di-
viding the external from the middle
ear.
The healthy ear should never be
cleaned beyond the. surfaces that are
| plainly in view. The wax will natur-
ally accumulate and work out into
! the external ear, where 1t can be
removed without danger.
Children should be taught that 1t
is dangerous to put things in the
ears. If any little object should get
into the a it must not be dug
| after. A doctor should be consulted.
IL medical aid cannot be had, a
careful Swinging is the best method
of removing foreign Bodies.
In case animate things such as in
! sects get into the ar, it is advisable
to pour olive, c~ottonseed Or other
pure neutral oil in the auditory canal
to kill and remove them. The COM
mon use of oil for earache is bad
treatment as 1t is hard to remove
and frequently becomes gummy or
collects dirt.
The ear Is often injured by snuffing
fluids up the nostrils which may

leading from the mouth cavity to

Sprague's Journal to Help
Boom Good School Work

DR.. 4. O. Thomas, State superin-
tendent of public schools, is much
pleased with the results of local his
tory work being done in the schools
of Maine and also much pleased with
a new assistance in the work to be
given by Senator John T. Sprague of
Dover, who is always interested in
educational and historical work, par
ticularly of Maine. DR.. Thomas SAYS:
Because of the interest displayed
by many teachers and their pupils in
the study of local history from the
sources, Senator John F. Spra que OF
Toxcroft is adding n special depart
r7ent to his Journal of Maine His
tory as a sort of clearing house for
the best things done in the schools
Superintendents and teachers are. in
vited to send in for publication the
best things produced in their schools
It is expected that the history work
begun in the Centennial year will be
continued as Il definite and perma-
nent part of our course of study. I
am greatly impressed with the eX-
cellent work sent into the office from
different parts of the State. Some
of these books are written entirely by
one pupil after careful investigation
and preparation and authorization
of the data by others. Some are pro-
duced by the entire school as COM
munity affair.
in the coming issue of Sprague's
Journal of Maine History will be
found paragraphs on local history
and industry by the children and
young people. These paragraphs are
of surprising clearness and in fault
less diction which bellies the oft
heard criticism that the schools do
not teach English. Many Of these
paragraphs would do credit to an his
torian. Mr. Sprague is seeking to
extend the field of usefulness of his
journal, and 1 am especially anxious
that teachers who are interested in
history make use of it."

ADJUSTMENTS
MARY PICKFORD
IN "THE TALE
OF A SHIRT"

The name Of the play is "Suds,"
but it might Just as well be "The
Tale of q Shirt" this fascinating
United Artists photo-comedy in
which Mary Pickford will be seen
at the Colonial theatre today and to-
morrow. Further than that, with
out an exaggeration. just as Miss
Pickford is called 1.-THE Queen of the
Screen" SO could this be called THE
Queen of Photoplays." Wherever
! it has been given. at high prices too,
it has been proclaimed the finest
I thing in which Miss Pickford has
yet been seen. ~.
The story of "Suds" is all laid
. about a common, ordinary shirt
which is left to be washed in a small
! laundry in the slums of London by
! one Horace Greensmith, cheap
actor.
The role played by Mary Pickford
! is that of Amanda Afflick, the
woe-begone slavey in the laundry.
Amanda, having received the shirt
| when it was tossed over the counter
to be laundered, promptly falls in
love with its owner. 1t is some
months before the shirt is called
for but in the meantime, Amanda
memory clean,' and for the edifi-
cation of the other girls, weaves
such wonderful romances about her
self and Horace that she has the
other girls in the laundry believing
! them and practically believes them
herself. In many side splitting
scene Amanda tells the girls how her
father, the Arch Duke, has sent her
out into the world to be loved for
herself alone and not for her vast
fortune-that when Horace returns
for his shirt it will be the signal
that all is we'll and that the man has
proved his love and she can return
to her rightful station in life.
One moment Miss Pickford ha.
you rocking with laughter over her
trlbulations when she brings Law
ender. the eX-laundry wagon horse
into her little tenement room. and
in the next, crying with her when
you see her spurned by the man
about whom she has woven tho
wonderful romance concerning her
self.
The character of "Suds'' ia en-
tlreiy different from any character
ever presented by any artist on the
screen and the concensus of opinion
Is that only Mary Pickford could
nave done this Characterization.
The entire play is one of the most
ENJOYABLE entertainments ever Of
Tered to the local public and Miss
Pickford, now that she is producing
independently. has shown that she is
not stingy in the matter OF lavishine
money on her supporting cast and
sets.

Next meeting Governor councI Friday A.
Standa

When Governor Percival p. Baxter
was asked Thursday morning con-
corning an interview in Wednesday
evening paper with relation to Sea
and Shore Fisheries, he said:
my reference to the Sea and Shore
Fisheries Department quoted In
Wednesday evening paper, was not
intended as a reflection upon that de-
partment but to show that In the
present condition Of the appropriation
it would probably be unwise for the
State to assume the burden of an ad-
ditional patrol boat during the pres
ent summer. This department is one
of the most important in the State
government, for the fishing industry
is one Of Names natural resources
and several thousand fishermen are
dependant upon it for their livelihood.
Names Sea and Shore Fisheries are
almost inexhaustible and the State is
doing all within it's power to en-
courage the lobster industry in which
several million dollars are invested.
The lobster industry not only means
much to the summer resorts in Maine
but Is an ali-year-round business as
we'll. The last Legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 for the purchase of seed
Holsters and $500 for the propagation
of shell fish. e.
"This department has been sue
cesssfully built up under the admin
istration of Director Horatio d. erie
and the total appropriation made by

MORENO THRILLS
i'm HIS NEWEST
|PHOTODRAMA

Antonio Moreno in the role OF the
dashing and daring hero of thrill
ing melodrama will be the attraction
at the Colonial theatre today when
he appears as Daniel Craig in Three
Sevens," a truly sensational Vita
graph feature, a story of crooks that
is not a Crook play"
Moreno is sure to make an i'm
preston in his portrayal of the
emotions and actions of the young
lawyer falsely charged, tried and
convicted of murder and in Craigs
adventures in bringing about the re-
capture Of five desperate criminals
he had unwittingly released from the
penitentiary in effecting his own
, escape.
Before this happens, he suffers
two years of brutal treatment behind
prison walls and then, determined
that something should be done to
relieve the cases of the prisoners, he
organizes a revolt, overpowers the
warden and holds a court in the
chapel of the prison with the con-
victs as jury, lawyers and bailiffs.
The story of each of the prisoners is
heard and those who convince the
Judge and jury that they have suf-
fered enough are allowed to go.
Five make their escape without
authorization of the other prisoners
and Craig sets about the capture of
these How he accomplishes this,
as well as a number of other things,
furnishes the main theme which is
grippingly, developed to a happy
| conclusion.
