"RAINRoWv A GREAT PICTURE

An ideal story enacted by clever
star and a capable cast under the di-
rection of Edward Jose. A produc-
ton for the whole family, will please
young and old alike.
Alice Calhoun realizes long cher
ished ambition in Rainbow" Since
she became a star more than two
years ago. Miss Calhoun has por-
trayed a variety of characters, from
a farmhouse help" to society deb
utante, but never until now has she
appeared as q little girl.
In the picture, written especially
for her by Harry Dittmar, the earlier
scenes show her as care-free
youngster, short -skirted and some
times bare legged. And then she
goes East to be young but not en-
tlrely conventional girl of society.
The picture affords Miss Calhoun
greater opportunities than she has
previously obtained, and she rises to
great heights in the most exacting
scenes.
The production is well worth see
ing, with many human interest
touches and intense dramatic situa-
tions.
The surrounding program consists
of a rattling good comedy, entitled,
"Around Corners,"i which Is n sure
fire laugh getter. Topics of The Day
and the International News will COM

Worthwhile Rules for
D0dging Influenza

The State Department Of Health
has been watching with some mis-
givings the reports of outbreaks ~
inhpepza IN -some Of cur American
cities as well as in those abroad and,
while not apprehending another epi-
demic calamity approaching that of
the latter part of 1918 and
the early months of the fol-
lowing year, when, in the six months
from September to February, influ-
enza and its accomplice, pneumonia.
slew l,713 persons in Maine. Inf1u-
enza does not come to us by telluric
influences. nor is it chargeable to the
climate OF Maine. It is not brought
to us by the air of the outdoors. 1t is
house disease coming to US through
our association with other persons
and due, in a considerable degree, to
some habits or customs which if
modified little would help us much
In guarding against influenza.
The infection of this disease may
come from persons who have infiuen-
"a or from persons who have received
the injection and develop only slight
symptoms not recognized as influen-
"a.
The rules that are the most worth
while for avoiding the give and take
game when influenza and colds are
around are indicated in the following:
!. Avoid nearness to persons who
shoot infectious droplets directly to-
ward your face with unmufled
cough, or with laughter or shouting
or other forcible expiration.
2. Teach. SO far as you can, the
fine art Of coughing-over your
shoulder. IL no one is astern, or still
better exercise repressive influence
over the spasmodic impulse to cough.
Or cover the cough with handker-
chief or hand. See 4.
8. Avoid those communistic ten
dencies which our hygienic education
10 leading US to distrust,-the reuse
Of eating and drinking utensils used
by others and not sterilized with boil
ing water before they are passed on
to other lips. This should be the
rule whether in the home or in pub
lie places.
4. Finger borne infection is a real
danger. Fingers unwashed after
touching mouth or nose may transfer
infection to food to be taken by the
owner of the fingers or to be taken by
others. Let the rule be the careful
washing of hands that may have be-
come infected before feeding your
self or handling the food of others.
This disease is in the list of those
that are reportable to local health Of
ficers whether it is called influenza or
grippe, two names for one dis
ease. The householder must report
when a physician is not in at
tendance. Information, more in de-
tail, may be had in Circular 341 of
the State Department of Health.

CHICAGO STOCK COMPANY
SCORES ANOTHER BIG HIT

The Chicago Stock company
scored another big hit at the Opera
House yesterday when they presented
for their second attraction a smart,
snappy and very amusing comedy en-
titled "Nightie Night" The play is
one Of especial merit and the various
parts were handled in capable man
ner. Like their initial offering it was
nicely staged
Today matinee and night the COM
pany will present Scrambled Wives"
a comedy that is guaranteed to
crack any smile into a laugh. 1t is
big Broadway hit and tells the story
of Mary Lucille Smith. young girl
who thinks she has dark and ter
rible past" to hide. The secret in her
life is that, as a result of a perfectly
innocent boarding school escapade,
she has been rushed into marriage
with boy whom she scarcely knew.
Luckily she was rescued from this
embarrassing position almost before
the ceremony was completed. The
marriage was quietly annuled and
Mary Lucille was packed off to Eu-
rope to forget her mad prank. Re-
turning she meets a young fellow
with whom a case of love at first
sight develops. The complications
which result from Marys efforts to
hide this terrible past make this enc
of the most interesting comedies seen
in years.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening
the players will be seen in a new
meladrama entitled Smooth as Silk
which the New York critics described
as the biggest melodramatic success
written in years and from the pen OF
Willard Mack, the author of Tiger
Rose" Kick In," and THE Big
Chance"
Friday afternoon and evening, the
Joy ringing comedy Wedding Bells"
will be staged. Saturday afternoon
