1t is remarkable how many cases have
been reported similar to this one. Many
mothers are left in a weakened and
rundown condition after the birth of
the child: and for such mothers the care

only is it hard for the mother, but the
child itself will indirectly suffer.

mother at this time. 1t is prepared

WHY Change Titles

Why titles are changed is one o!
tlIr great mysteries of Hollywood.
IN early. explanation was economy
ct length. so that titles could be
i'saycd in larger letters on posters ana
cln!d be set up in the illuminated let
ierS on theater marqUeS.
Then, when many new titles were
physically longer than the originals.
the producers said they were compelled
Ia make the title alluring enough in
Itself TO fill the theaters.
Now there is perfect frenzy Of
tRle changing. Titles are often changed
before the camera starts turning. are
changed once. twice-even three times
during the course of production then
may be given another title in New
York.
Take "The Faun." in which Viii

So the titles the thing.
But if a title will sell thousands OF
books, if it will attract thousands OF

There's the mystery.

Several New York reviewers have
given it as their opinion that The

picture production. That opinion is
based largely on the work of George

wrong. The new era in motion pic

melodrama. The plot itself seems
more adaptable to the screen than
to the stage. Olcott made the most
of it, but added nothing unessential.
The story he unreels breathes the
spirit OF India as truly as Kipling
tale.
Members of the cast gave every
thing to their roles that was asked
of them. They. too, practiced COM
mendable restraint. Any one of them
could be trusted TO boil three-min-
ute egg exactly three minutes.
Alice Joyce returns to the screen
after an absence Of two years with
her glory undimmed. Indeed, it
seems rs though there were a new
aura about her.
And then there is this Jetta
Goudal, that exotic creature whose
praises l have sung before. As the
ayah in "The Green Goddess" she
has full opportunity to mirror her
remarkable personality. although the
role is relatively unimportant. If

1t will be time for many of our pres
ent fair stars to fold up their tents

served opinion that Arliss is the
greatest living actor. Dudley Digges,
who was in Arliss' company for
years. once told me that Arliss spent
several hours day for many weeks
practicing one small bit of panto-
mime. Probably that q why Arliss
is the only screen player whose i'm

recognition might have come to
them. t--.-. -.-'n9
In the closing scenes of "The Green
Goddess" hero and heroine are res
cued from imminent execution by
bombing airDlancs which have been
summoned by wireless. The bombing
was very realistic at the New York
presentation. The sound effect was
not entrusted to bass drum. As
the bombs exploded on the screen
some sort of howitzer was fired back
stage and pillows of smoke swept
down upon the audience. The odor
of gunpowder was in the nostrils of
spectators as they left.

Certain Minerals Quite
Beneficial to All Hogs

A healthy hog doesn't need lot OF
drugs in his feed or water, but certain
minerals are necessary, and the most
successful breeders keep these minerals
before their hogs at all times. Wood
ashes, or charcoal, lime and salt are
used by many of the most successful
breeders. The charcoal can be made
very easily by burning cobs. Rake up
the cobs into a pile and nre them.
When they are well charred sprinkle
salt over them, then quench the fire
with water. The charred cobs may be
raked into a pile and the hogs will
help themselves.
Where self-feeders are used and salt,
lime and charcoal settled, the charcoal
need not be sailed, but simply grind up
the charred material. If your pigs run
on good pasture and get plenty of good
buttermilk or skim milk they will not
need so much of these minerals, but it
Is we'll worth while to have them be-
fore them anyhow. They need some
of them to supplement and balance any
ration.
