Is to be Shown Here

Dustin Farnum, one of the most
favored of picture stars, will be seen
at the Colonial theatre today in the
Fox production, THE Devil Within"
the second photoplay Of the season
the success of his first, THE Primal
Law" The popularity of the star
and the reputation of Bernard Durn-
ing. his director, should ensure full
house at the opening.
Dustin Farnum is seen in "The
Devil Within" as ship master who
absolutely disregards human life and
feeling He ruthlessly confiscates
from a savage tribe a sacred idol,
and from that time bears a curse
hurled at him by a native witch.
After trying to settle down to nor
NAL life he finds one misfortune after
another Detailing him. His ultimate
happiness is won by the payment Of
a heavy penalty in grief and remorse.
The moral OF the story is selfevi-
dent.
The star has ample room in which
to display his heroic strength and his
deep emotional powers. and this at
traction should prove even bigger
than The Primal Law"
Virginia Nalli plays opposite the
star. The story is from the pen of
George Allen England.

tinuance of any business or definite

, tee is issued to indemnify purchasers
OF such products against the death of
| animals as the result of contagious
| diseases contracted after three
months of continuous feeding of the
conditioner or food products thus
sold.
The insurance department. follow
ing an opinion rendered by Attorney
General Ransford W. Shaw. finds
such methods as employed by the
products company at variance with
the laws OF this state and that form
of insurance is involved which
would require certain qualifications.
Accordingly the company was nod-
led to cancel all contracts made by

tracts as set forth in its certificates

department.
Commissioner Smith. in addition to
this direct notice to the company,

such stock as it happened to be. pro-
vided that the user had fed the
product continuously for three
months. Commissioner Smith ruled
that while the product was sold as a
conditioner the indemnity was in

Promises to Bring Good Results

the meeting, he having been the
representative of the State:
! Meeting held in Lecture room OF
the New England Bird Banding AS
ISOLATION.
The meeting was attended by about
$50 men and women. many OF them
the leading ornithologists OF New
England. The aims of the assocla-
! ton are conservation of our WHO
birds and better understanding OF
their migratory movements as well
as their breeding habits. believing
this data can be obtained only by
methodical banding of both the adult
as we'll as the young birds. In the
mast scientific study has been carried
on only by the killing of birds by
collectors holding permits from state
and Federal authorities, and many
thousands of birds have been sacrl-
feed for this purpose. but we nave
come to believe that more saus-
factory information can be obtained
Nv trapping and banding, thereby
preserving the birds for future breed
ing.
