DRINK HOT TEA
FOR a BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup OF
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.

cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.

cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

DAWSONIANS WATCHED THE
ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
The Awe-Inspiring Sight Began Near
Midnight Friday.

A number of Dawson people watch
ed the total eclipse OF the moon, which
began a few minutes after II o'clock
Friday night. The total eclipse lasted
from 2 a. m. until few minutes after
3 a. M, but the sky became overcast
with floating clouds, which from time
to time shut away from the vision OF
the watchers the awe-inspiring sight.
The luminous half circle just before
the moon was entirely obscured from
view made a wonderful picture that
cannot easily be forgotten.

Grand Tomorrow.

With Mary Miles Minter as the
star, supported by really exception
al cast, Realart will present a film
version of Sweet Lavender" by Sir
Arthur Wing Pinero tomorrow at the
Grand.
beyond all doubt the best work of
the famous English writer. "Sweet
Lavender" scored greater financial
success than any other play of its pc
Rod. 1t has played in every coun-
try in the civilized world and mill
ions OF dollars have been paid in at
the box offices by those drawn to
the theatre because of the sweet and
gentle humanity of this play.
A really remarkable cast has been
chosen to interpret the piece. Miss
Minter plays lavender, Theodore
Roberts, Phenyl; Harold Goodwin,
Glenn Hale, and Milton Stills, Hor-
ace Weatherburn. Other well-known
players are Sylvia Ashton, ]. NJ.
Dumont, Starke Patterson, Jane
Keckley and Flora HOLSTER.
Realart has spared no pains to
make Sweet Lavender" worth
while offering. Direct from "Polly-
yanna"' with Mary Pickford, Paul
Powell was chosen to stage the piece.
His nine years of experience have
brought him to high places in the
art of the cinema. Beulah Marie
Dix, author Of plays and novels by
the score, wrote the scenario.

New York, Jan. 27-Anyone who
lays claim to being a real denizon of
any part of Greater New York and
then admits to having not been pacy-
cho-analy=ed will shortly be met
with scorn and reputation. Unless
you know just exactly what little
Complex" you are carrying around
with you, your insistence upon ever
having seen the Grand Central sta
ton will be doubted. It goes right
along now with manicure and eye
brow shaping. / met one appar-
emily perfectly sane, balanced girl
the other day who told me casual
ly that she had a tragedy COM
pick" and that at was quite unfor-
tunate, because she COULDN'T let
anything in her life reach happy
ending" Love affairs, work, every
thing-this tragedy complex just
compels her "to turn them into sad
ness" And she is only one of, I
should judge, at least 100000 New
Workers. who have had some such
revelation made to them by the ex-
perts who analysed their souls for

The demand in Manchuria, China
for old newspapers is very great.
These are used principally for the first
layer of paper on interior walls and
ceilings Of houses. Chinese houses in
in Manchuria invariably include no cell

ing installed by the tenants or own

have completed their part Of the con-

framework of millet stalks, which are,

papers and then with layer of Chi

BELLS OF BUDDHA
Their Tones Vary With the
Tastes Of the People.
Continuous Symphony of TinkIinq In
Ransoon and MandaIay-Japan.
csc More Stern In Tone.

The bell is almost as characteristic
/ symbol Of Buddhism as is the seated
figure of Buddha himself. 1t varies,
In the different Buddhist countries,
with the temperament and tastes of
the people. In Burma, where even
| Buddhism turns to sunshine and to
prettiness and the towers of the tenn
pies evaporate in lace work and jewel
ry, the bells, glittering with precious
stones, hang in clusters from the UNI
brellalike top of the pagoda spire and
ring at their own sweet will. In the
temple courts of Rangoon and Manda-
lay there is continuous symphony
OF tinkling and Ginning things
dainty, casual, hayward.
But the bells of China and Korea
and those of Japan are more gran
diose and sober. Like the stained
glass windows of European cathedrals,
japanese bells are storied records of
their temples and their times. They
bear inscriptions by famous poets and
scholars; they are nodded into a
wealth of symbolism. And around
them cling, like the MOSS and flow
ers that have overgrown the woodland
Buddhas of NikkO, legends and tales
and history that live on the lips of gen
erations who have dwelt In the
shadow Of some great bell and whose
lives have been unconsciously attuned
to Its grave and somber harmony.
Yet, though the Imagination of the
people clings around it, the temple
bell seems to speak most eloquently
from lonely places, from the heart of
monastic woods, from heights to which
the contemplative may withdraw for
meditation. 1t has none of the ia
miliar and SOciable character Of the |
occidental church bell. Though Chris
tianity, like Buddhism, has under
stood the value Of the bell, the differ
ence between the bells Of East and |
West Is typical of difference In the
genius of the two faiths. In the cities
Of England and northern Europe the
bell is the first to speak out on any
occasion Of special significance to the
people. 1t announces funerals, we'd
sings, fires and wars. 1t is at its best
N the expression Of communal joy.
The very method Of ringing-ln CARL
ons, chimes and joyous changes
makes 1t seem a representation of L
many voices raised in chorus of
,ladness.
The Buddhist bell has none of these
;oclal characteristics. 1t could hard
y quicken it's deep tone to speak of
oy. 1t seems voice apart from tenn
'oral things, cognizant only of eternity
md Nirvana. Yet on any occasion
f general sorrow its accent-tranquil,
unhurried-may be immeas-
rably consOling. An American who
lved in Kobe while the epidemic of
influenza was at its worst often speaks
f the comfort he felt in the sound of
he temple bell from the hill. All day
e saw the procession Of the dead
ass his house and smoke of the Gre
latOries dimming the sky; but every
light at nine o'clock the great bell
poke Out-serene and gracious on
he evening air--and its grave voice
eemed to be saying: Fret not; for
Il this passes. 1t Is we'll Mario

One Of the admirers went to the

from one Of these trips and made
complaint Of this habit of his. 1.-THE
other girls are expecting us fellows
to do it, too" he said. 1--WE can't see

Never were New York hotels more
constantly crowded than they are
this winter. What is the answer?
Usually quiet times in business
mean plenty of room. 1t used to
be said that the price of securities
on the stock exchange would let you
know how much trouble if any, you
would have in getting good hotel
accommodations in New York on
short notice. Stocks up, no room;
stocks down, all you want. But
here it is after the Christmas sea-
son, after the motor show, with
stocks still down, and every hotel in
the city filed.
The Liner Imperator brought

Immediate method of stopping such
sales. He bought pretty nearly all
of the village of Sparta few months
ago, because it was a neighbor Of
mis- and he wanted it changed into
more desirable community. But one
man held out. Nick Selazza, who
owned a saloon which Mr.. Vanderbilt
declares was real saloon in spite
Of this day and age, refused to sell.
Finally, after making the capitalist
buy all the property he had anywhere
in the vicinity, including some land
near Sing Sing, he sold out to him
completely. And now the atmos-
,phere is entirely as per Mr.. Wander
lips instructions.
After so many queer" plays, sad,
sordid, tragic, bleak or uncanny that
New York has seen this season,
there is something exceedingly en-
joyable about a production 1ike"Dear

leading parts. It is just another
Cinderella story, obvious in its plot,
and not at all like fife. But it is
as happy and cheerful and well done
as was the Cinderella of our youth.
And the audience liked it just as we
used to that story of the slipper and

Greenwich, Conn, the most effete
of all New York's environs, is in the
throes of hidden treasure craze.

sought permission of the police chief

out that the would-be digger was an
ax-convict who had found note
from another prisoner, since then
for murder, stating that
lie had buried $4,000 in that Green
