"JACQUELINEv AT LYcEUM.

The Lyceum offers motion picture program that is as good as any that could be arranged. First there are the usual comedies and news reels and then comes Round of Tight ing Blood" drama of the prize ring. Last Is "Jacqueline," or Blazing Bar riers," photo drama from the pen of James Oliver Curwood. It has to do with the great north woods and in it there is the eternal triangle of two men and girl. The biggest thrill of all comes in the great forest fire scene in which the leading man, enact, ed by Lew Cody, makes a spectacular rescue of the leading lady. Marguerite Courtot from forest fire. This was an actual fire picture, taken during a forest fire in the Maine woods. Other big scenes include two men in canoe caught in the swirling rapids above the waterfalls.
 For the final half of the week Ibanez's The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. will be shown. Rodolph Valentino has one of the leading roles in the picture, which starts off in Ar gentina and then sweeps over to Eu- rope which, at the time, was em- broiled in the great world war. One of the greatest stories ever written and one of the most engaging pie lures ever filmed" is the wey critics view this production.
 Next week every day there will be a revival of an old favorite at the Lyceum with two on Sunday evening. These will be George Arliss in "The Man Who Played God" and Douglas Fairbanks in "The Mollycoddle." Dur ing the remainder of the week the pictures will be Way Down East, "Dream Street." "I'he Three Muske- teers, Orphans of the Storm, Little Lord Fauntleroy," Through the Back Door"
 The Lyceum has contracted for an- other of the seasons big hits, which will be shown here shortly. It Is The Fowth Musketeer," starring Douglas MacLean.

 Here's what a real shelk would dress like if he were living the part instead of playing it. The turban has ends flying down the back. The waistcoat and brooches are of cordu- roy, and the sash of red or purple silk.

 Either MT. Bear shuddered, or he shivered from his plunge into the water. He was certainly trembling when Cuffy hast his fearsome catch upon the ground. But he kept de- claring that he wasn't afraid of snakes.
 By this time Mrs. Bear had over come her fears. She hurried back. She took one good look at the long object that twisted and turned upon the shore.
 That's not a snake!" she ex- claimed.

HoW's YOUR. HEART?

The engine of great ocean liner gets rest after driving the ship 1000 miles across the ocean. The human heart, more wonderful en- zine, never gets a rest until it stops for good. It's weight is only about three-quarters of pound. Day after day and year after year it throbs away at the average speed of 72 beats a minute. It drives the blood throughout the body to repair waste and build new tissues. r..
 If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, what can we do to prevent this wonderful little engine from getting out of order? Medical science knows more about the heart today. and the means of combating its diseases, so there is always hope for you, if your heart has gone wrong. The layman must take heed and learn to know the precautionary preventive means to apply when the first distress signals appear. The heart is strong in recuperative power so take courage if you find your heart is little out of kilter.
 Health Is Priceless
 
 The most trivial defects should be checked up at once. Examination by physician once or twice year is not too great a price to pay for priceless health. To wait until you have to reform or live the hygienic life is like drowning man grasping at straws.
 Early heart defects may have been caused by the toxins of scarlet fever. diphtheria, pneumonia or acute rheu- matism. which is frequently chil- dren's disease and a heart disturber. Be careful of your children and guard against al diseases of the nose and the throat. A healthy throat will go a long way toward staving off any be- ginning heart murmurs or endocar- ditis.
 Sometimes weak heart has been caused by early athletic excesses, when the heart has been severely overtaxed and its muscles stretched. This may mean leaky heart and the end of athletics for the patient. At the period of puberty, both boys and girls are liable to have some increased arterial tension and heart action. If fathers and mothers are sensible, and correct hygienic laws are explained to. them serious heart and blood troubles may be avoided in later years.
 Sanitation Necessary
 Do not under any circumstances wear the same clothing at night as you have during the day This habit, if kept up, may cause poisons which have been thrown off by the pores of the skin to be reabsorbed by the blood and injure the heart action. This may apply to country people more than to city folks. It may be good heart advice to say that in the coun- try or on the farm bath tub is just as important as telephone and per- haps more so.
 Overindulgence in 'eats," especially heavy meals at night, or continued high living are responsible for about

Letter From Alice Hamilton to Mrs.
 Joseph Graves Hamilton.

Dear Mother:
 Although l know you intended to be kind l think you should have told me of Leslie's accident the moment it occurred. As it was you let me go on for a long time feeling quite hurt because she had not written me. Now l am filled with remorse that l could have thought for a moment that my darling sister would have neglected me when 1 was so far away,
 Howvor, I think had l received a cablegram, 1 should have taken the rext boat home. It sickens me ev- cry time I think of the good times I have been having while all the time she has been so ill.
 I want you to tell Leslie that l knew nothing about her accident and that if she wants me or if she thinks that can do her the least bit of good I will come home immediately.
 Poor girl! l believe l would die had I been expecting such a wonder ful event in my life as a baby and then had to bear the disappointment of losing it before it had ever been laid in my arms.
 Karl was awfully sweet in telling me all about it. We are still talking about you all. He said that you let him go in and look at Leslie for a moment while she was asleep, so that he could even tell me just how she looked. He told me- she was "1ust ike a Madonna who had been deprived of her only child by Death" "
 He told me that Jack was thinking of adopting a child. think this would be a lovely thing. Let me know as soon as you decide which ,~sy it is going to be and if you de-

eide upon adoption, don't christen him until I come home. I want ito be godmother.
 Poor Leslie. I haven't been able to get her out of my mind all day. This being married, mother, isn't such a cinch after all, is it?
 Somehow up until now l have al- ways considered marriage a kind of glorified courtship under the sane ton Of the church, but now l see there are a great many responsibili- ties and cares connected with it.
 Kari told me that you thought he had better bring those pearl beads of Leslie's over here, but he dis sUaded you from it. I wish you had let him bring them. I think they would go awfully well with my new pearl ring.
 The ring of course is real, but ev- eryone says that the beads are such a wonderful imitation that I'm sure they couldn't be told apart.
 In one of her letters Leslie inti- mated that she was going to break the string in two and give part of it present.
 You may tell her that I will never forgive her if she does a thing like that. l wrote and told her how hurt l would be if she did, but I want you to clinch the argument.
 I didn't know that I would be as glad to see anyone as was to see Karl. I wouldn't marry an English man If he were the Duke of West minister or the Prince of Wales him. self.
 Please cable me exactly how Leslie Is. Could she read a letter if l should write it to her?
 l love you all so much,

MIR. BEAR CATCHES SOMETHING
 AT LAST.

Mrs. Bear had made. it very blair to Mir. Bear that he must let little | Silkie keep the fish she had caught He scolded as he turned away. And then his face frightened as he re- membered the fish Cuffy had tossed out of the lake.
 But his hopes were once more dashed While he had been trying to get the bigger fish from Silkie, Cuffy had eaten the other one. MT. Bear had every reason for feel ing glum. Not only had he failed to catch the first fish to be landed. He hadn't caught any.
 Without saying another word, he crouched again beside the water. You should have seen his face when Mrs Bear presently captured fine fish.
 Wont you help me eat this one, Ephraim?" Mrs. Bear invited him. She hoped to get him into a happier mood.
 To her amazement MT. Bear de- clinsd. He thanked her stiffly. T don't care for those little. short fish that you and the children are catch iEg. I'm not going to bother with anything less than a yard long" he announced.
 She knew better than to urge him. She only hoped, as she sat and ate her fish, that Mir. Bear would soon catch an enormous fish. She could think of nothing else that would make him feel cheerful again that day.
 "Ah-h-h." exclaimed Mir. Bear all at once. There's a whale of a fish {. I've got my eye on him. think he's coming this way"
 A moment later Mir. Bear dashed Into the water. A terrific splash fol- lowed. Then he rose up out of the lake. Waving his paws frantically, he struggled toward the shore.
 Ugh! Ugh. A snake! A snake," he believed.
 His frightened family saw a long, dark object writhing about Mir. Bears neck.
