 CHLDREN'S EYES

It is not too strong statement to make, that ambitious parents tre- ouently are the cause of a child's eyes being ruined as well as it's health. The healthy boy or girl with normal eyes should be watched and guarded closely in order to conserve this most priceless possession. Those children who have tendency to weak eyes from birth must be protected from the many harmful influences even more carefully.
 Do not allow children of one, two or three years to look at pictures or any objects which require close m spection in any detail. Kindergarten work until the child is of four or five, and even six years of age, should be chiefly confined to large charts or ob- jects large enough to be well seen at d distance of 10 or IS feet. No small objects to be judged or small holes in cards for sewing should be used.
 Tho delicate optic nerve Of child does not register the sensation of pain. Through close contact work, such as bNahS VI " N'"' close contact lines, or reading in poor light and poorer position, this nerve may receive severe strain. It does not cry out or object so far as the child or teacher may observe, but it does object and the retina and optic nerve may be permanently injured
 Never strike or "cuff' a small child on tho side of the head. 1t is a dam gerous practice for the eyes. If they ''sce stars" 1t means a shock 10 the optic nerve. If this excessive close work is continued for any length or time it means the children's eyes will become defective and astiginatic.
 In school children, at present, the hyperopic eyes far outnumber the normal eyes.
 Look into the matter of your chil- dren's eyes at once. It is absolutely essential that all parents and teach CTS should cooperate to do all that is possible to conserve and correct the eyes of the children.

The cast is a powerful one, including such notables as Helene Chadwick, Rlch- ard Dix, Alan Hale, Noah Beery George Cooper and J. Farrell Me Donald.

NORMA TALMADGE IN
 FEATURE AT PALACE.
"The Voice From the Minaret' to
 Top Film Program

Norma Talmadge. the most popu- lar of the women stars on the screen today. will be seen at the Palace starting Sunday night in her latest offering, The Voice From the Min aret," declared to be story of un- usual dramatic power. Frank Lloyd directed this First National picture, which was adapted by Frances Mar ion from Richard Kitchens famous novel.
 The action of the tale is laid in London, Bombay, Damascus and the desert, and the production has a pie torisl background of striking splen- dor. The story is a colorfully TO- mantle one, swiftly moving, and noth- ing has been left undone to make this Norma Talmadge's greatest pie ture.
 The star is cast as Lady Adrienne, the wife of the governor of Bombay, Sir Leslie Carlyle. Cruel by nature, Lord Leslie takes keen delight in tor turing his wife in every conceivable manner. insulting and disgracing her in public at every opportunity.
 Lady Adrienne bears up patiently under his abuse. but the time came when she found she could stand no more and she determined to leave her husband. So she started on her long journey back to England. E,n route she became acquainted with a son of Britain who was on pill grimage to the Holy Land. He in- duced her to change her plans and to accompany him.
 They found love in the desert Of the East-but not the peace they craved, for the voice Of the muezzins, calling the faithful to prayer from the minarets. constantly reminded them of their duty to others. Re gretfully, they turned back. to face a series Of highly dramatic adventures that nearly brought an end to their lives.
 As a special added attraction for Sunday night only, William Duncan will be offered in Playing It Wild" six reel drama.
 For Thursday, Friday and Satur- day there will be bill of Keith vaudeville acts and the photoplay feature will present Marshall Neian's newest production "The Eternal Three" a drama of the eternal trian- gle in which an all star cast will enact the leading roles.

In addition there will be other big acts including Paul George in "A Kitchen Musicale" Nixon and Sans in Assorted Chocolates" Force and Williams in "On the High C." and Kay, Hamlin and Kay in At Their Old Tricks"
 One of the most strenuous scenes of her career!
 This was the opinion of all who witnessed the filming of the branding episode in "rhe Cheat" starring Pola Negri, produced by George fitz- maurice and which will be shown at the Capitol theater next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Jack Holt has a featured role and Charles de Roche leads the supporting cast.
 II was the latter. who played the scene with Miss Negri, and after it was over. both were exhausted by inc stain. and several bruises testi- fled to the realism injected into the dramatic action.
