EXCESSSES OF NERO'S REIGN
REPRODUCED ON SCREEN
House of Gold, Broiled Peacocks,
Funtains of Perfume, Stuffed Wild
Bears, Milk Baths and other Ex-
travagalt,es Depicted in Fox Film
Spectacle.

The widest imagination can scarce
ly conjure up all of the fabulous and
eXtravagant excuses of the reign OF
the tyrant Nero, Emperor of Rome
He did things never heard of before
and no tyrant who followed him since
has dared duplicate his amazing feats
Yet, on the screen IN the wonderful
motion picture Nero" which will be
presented at the Grand Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday the worst ex-
cesses of Nero are reproduced in all
of their devilish ingenuity. J. Gordon
Edwards, the director OF "Ne% made
an exhaustive study of the pleasures
and crimes of the Emperor and YOU
can see Rome as it was in the time
of Nero by seeing this marvellous
screen spectacle.
Nero built the costliest palace the
world has ever known 1t was called
the "Domus Aurea" or the Golden
House, as most of the decorations
were of solid gold Even the furniture
OF one room was made entirely of
gold. Here Nero held most of his or
gies. This room in the golden house
on Palatine Hill, which has been par
tally uncovered by recent excavations
III Rome, was visited by Mr.. Edwards
in photographing this wonderful pic
ture.
From Chevaliers' famous painting
an orgy in the palace oA Nero in this
identical room of gold, Mr.. Edwards
reproduced the gorgeous and elaborate
scenic settings which now form the
background for that part of the pic
ture which shows Nero INDUCING in
his favorite indoor sports and pas
times of eating, getting drunk anc
making love.
Nero also invented the milk bath
later made famous by Anna Held He
did this to please Poppaea. A specia
her daily morning bath.
There is one record of the extrava
gance of Nero which can be found il
the writings of Tranquillus. He served
his guests with 900 ostrich brains, pea,
sprinkled with gold dust, ientils will
precious stones scattered over them
beans mixes with amber and rice, fist
and truffles served with pearl dressing
These mixtures would seem exceed
ingly indigestible and they certainl
would have been if the guests ha
consumed the gold dust, gems, ambe
and pearls. 1t was not however, tn
custom to do that. The gold dus
was eaten, it would seem, but tn
other dressings were kept as souvenir
This famous feast, with the Strang
dishes, inspired Mr.. Edwards to repro
duce upon the screen one OF the mos
amazing and interesting scenes eve
pictured, and this orgy may be seen il
the motion picture Nero"
Some of the old 'delicacies whicI
were served by Nero at his feasts il
the House of Gold were camels toes
tongues of n4ghtingales and peacocks
partridge eggs, thrush brains, parrot,
heads and the breasts of hummin
birds. AS it took almost 100 nightin
gales tongues to make dish for
Single person, it is not hard to com
pute what a cruel and terrible slaugh
ter must have occurred when Ner

INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION
Government Test Shows Cows Fed and Mixed at Random Come
 Close to Average Yield.

II has long been rule on weIl-man- aged dairy farms 10 milk and feed the COWS at the same hours every day. Regularity was always thought to have q beneficial effect on production. How ever. experiments carried on by the United States Department of Agricul- ture on the government farm at Belts vile. Md. have shown that cows of average production milsed at the same hours every day produced but slightly more milk and slightly less butterfat
 than those mixed at random. pro vided the feeding was done at regular times. When the feeding as well as the milking was done at random hours the cows produced about , per cent less of both milk and fat

With few exceptions, says the United States Department of Agricul- ttFe. there is feed enough wasted on every farm in the country to make the pork and pork products consumed on that farm The hog is more efficient than other farm animals ill making Use of the farm by-products. With the hen the hog will select and utilize The wholesome parts of unsound and mmarketablc grains, refuse from truck crops and byproducts from the dairy. This is one reason why hogs are used on such large proportion of our farms But the hogs principal article of diet k corn. and the See retary ef Agriculture. has reminded that "our hog crop serves as q slow aEserher for the variation in produe- fiaa of eur corn crop year bv year, thus ironing out the irregularities in corn prlees.
