The picture is an adaptation of the unusually dramatic story by Jane iMurfin, entitled The Tornado" {" It has been hailed by critics who have been privileged to see it as one of the finest combinations of spectacular natural effects and a dramatic story ever filmed.
 An arctic blizzard and a tropical tornado provide two of the strongest effects ever gained for the screen, but instead of being injected for the pur- pose of the spectacle, each of them play an important part in the fate which guides the characters through the amazing and gripping plot of the story,

A story that abounds with romance, action and human interest is promised in 'Handcuffs or Kisses" a new Selz- nick picture starring Elaine Ham m erstein, which will start three-day run at the Plaza theatre, beginning today.
 ''Handcuffs or Kisses was written by Thomas Edgelow and appeared in ''Y oung's Magazine" and is said to be an. ideal vehicle for the popular star. The story tells of the hardships en- dured by a young girl while doing time in a large reformatory: There is a big riot scene in which the in mates overpower the guards and flee from the institution and there are many portraya1s of the brutal pun ishments unnecessarily applied to the unfortunates who are committed there-many of them unjust1y.

LYRIC.

Lyric theatre goers have learned something about soubretes since the Molle Williams Comedies of 1922 made its opening at the Lyric last Monday.
 The cause for this enlight enrn ent is that Miss Williams has discovered one of the c1everest soubrettes that ever bounded over a stage, and not only does Miss Williams feel that she has toppy soubrette but the Bridge port people that have been fortunate enough to see the Mollie Williams show agree that Miss Jean Steele is a most beautiful little bundle of fem mine charm.
 Sunday night Lyric picture fans will be treated to an eight reel super feature, 1.-The Right Way" a page rom life as presented by Tn mas Mott Osborne. Charlie Chaplin in "A Night in the Show will be the laugh ing partition of the show while Pafre News Reel and Topics of the Day are included in the big offering.

Soon there IS an eruption of the
skin, consisting Of blisters, pus-fill-
ed pimples. scratches and raw
places. These are found between the
fingers, on the wrists and forearms,
under the arms and buttocks. and,
indeed, wherever there are folds of
skin.
Like other conditions in which
itching is a symptom. the irritation
is always worse at night. Unless
effectively treated the disease will
continue for many weeks.
In the treatment of the itch the
first step is a hot bath. Get into
tub and soak for half an hour.
Scrub with soft soap or green soap.
and rub briskly with a brush.
Dry off and rub the affected parts
with sulphur ointment. The Itch
ing viii stop at once.
Then put on paJamas. socks and
cotton gloves, and stay in them for
p hours.
Repeat this procedure every day
for three days if the time can be
spent. Otherwise do it every night
for three or four nights If there is
any irritation from the sulphur, a
weak tar solution may be applied
afterward. A Tablespoonful to
an ounce is about right.
IN the meantime the bed clothes,
the underwear and all the rest OF
the garments which will not be in
jured should be thoroughly boiled.
Rarely do the outside garments or
the mattress Of the bed come in
fected. Exposure to the sunlight
for six or eight hours will purify
them. If there is any doubt in your
mind about the general disinfec-
tion burn a sulphur candle in the
closed room with these articles. but
be very careful not TO inhale any
Of the fumes yourself.

YOUR HEALTH s. By cd d.: R, S

Some conditions are so infre-
quently met in the experience of
many physicians that IL is natural
for them 10 consider such diseases
az rare and negligible. l confess
this was my impression regarding
the itch.
Within the past two months. how
ever. 1 have had at least a score Of
letters asking for an article on the
subject. Some of these correspond
ents refer 10 dozens OF cases among
their friends and acquaintance. APP
parently the itch is a widespread
and too common ailment.
The itch diffess from most dis
eases in that it is not due 10 some
systematic disturbance or internal
infection. 1t is a result Of a para
site attack against the surface Of
the body.
The insect or parasite responsible
for the itch Is called the "sarcoptes
scablei" or "acari scabiei." II Is
a tiny beast, some Of the parasites
bieng just visible TO the naked eye.
Under the microscope eight short
visible. The front legs are pro-
vided with suckers, and the rear legs
with bristles.
The female of the species bur
rows into the skin of the victim.
There will be observed a lot Of ele-
vations, and underlying each Of
these is a little tunnel. Here the
insect remains for couple Of
months, laying an egg or two every
day. These hatch out, and the lit
tie ones escape from the tunnel. In
due time all the females burrow in,
and the process is repeated.
The disease would not spread so
rapidly il the victim did not scratch
himself. With his finger-nails he
transfers the parasite to remote
parts OF the body.
