CHARLES RAY AT CAPITOL

Some unknown phases of the orange growing industry in Califor- mia are shown in "Smudge." Charles Rays latest production, which is be- ing released by First National and is now enjoying prosperous engage ment at the Capitol theater.
 In order to present the frost from killing the orange and lemon crop the growers utilize smudge pots. While the pots throw off enough heat to be effective, they likewise produce a heavy "smudge" which is carried for miles by the wind and practically ruins clothing and home furnishings.
 Around this custom the author Rob Wagner, has built a story that is highly entertaining and dramatic with Ray taking the part of news paper editor. at first in favor of the smudge but later changing his policy. Many highly dramatic episodes are shown in the picture.
 The Keith vaudeville bill has five great acts headed by The Bob Pen der Troupe. Adams and the Thomp- son Sisters show real class with a fine musical act and the Clayton Drew Players in When Rome Howls' pro- vides the comedy on the bill. The other acts arc up to the Capitol stand ard. On Monday the big attractions will be the U. s. Jazz Band and Douglas MacLean in 'Going Up."

BEANS


 Dried beans mean much to the woman who would serve nourishing. muscle building foods 10 her family. An legumes contain protein, making them valuable meat stretches. But they are also rich in starch. taking the place Of starchy vegetable.
 So a dish of beans combined with meat is a full meal in itself except for the mineral salts so necessary in the winter diet.
 Beans are lacking in fat which can be provided in the meat or the salad. There are many varieties of dried beans. Their chief difference is in richness Of flavor rather than nour- ishment.
 Bean combinations are not quickly digested but persons who are healthy and vigorous may enjoy them to their hearts content during the cold weather.
 Chili con carne can be made with the red kidney or dried lima beans if Mexican beans are not procurable. The chiii used in the dish can be pre-

 A HEALTH LADDER
Article I

AftlClc |
 We have been told in . poetical or philosophical way that heaven is not reached at single bound, but that ws build the ladder by which we risS and we mount to its summit round by round. It is just as true and even more so In regard to our building and mounting the health ladder.
 Proper, vigorous, efficient exercise is really the bottom rung of the health ladder. It Is the one safe. hygienic method by which thou. sands of people, who pose as semi invalids, may greatly stimulate their appetite, digestion and red-blood- making. In all the seven ages of man, the exercise game should be played with spirit.
 Man wants to live long, but hs goes about 1t in the worst way in 75 per cent of adults above 2l years of age. Some day, by accident or otherwise, he gets in touch with his physician. The information he gets almost takes his breath away. Then comes the transformation, almost
  pathetic in its attempt at enforce ment. He is ready and willing to undergo any kind of treatment, sub init to any regimen, do anything or go anywhere, if assured that his life may he extended.
 The proper time to become fully in- terested in life expectancy is not when the undertaken Is looking for you. but when ones life title is still clear and unmortgaged and there is blue sky overhead.
 Man is an animal of highest typs,. fleet or foot, strong and agile. sup pie and enduring. By careless, seden- tary habits and wrong ideas of life's battle, he has become puny, rheuma- tic. sort of wind and diseased. If he continues to take all his exercise in an automobile for the next decade, he will be without sufficient leg-sustain- ing power for any distance.
 We must begin to climb up the health ladder. In the following ayticls I will try to show you some way of clean blood.

Lillian Displayed Her Intuition

ways in which It can be fed; Lea the
sows eat It from the stack. feed It in
suitable rick. or add about Eve or
ten pounds of chopped alfalfa or al
falfa leaves to 100 pounds Of a grain
mixture. The leaves can be gathered
up from the barn floor where the hay
is pitched from the NOV.
Some suggested ratlons suitable for
a 250-pound sow are as follows; Al
falfa hay. FIVE or six ears Of corn,
one5fourth pound Of tankage; alfalfa
hay. two or three pounds Of corn:
alfalfa hay. three or four pounds Of

Italian Clover
Is Not Favored

about s per cent Of the imported rel

certain requirements as to purity,
presence Of weed seeds and vitality,
but these requirements do not make II
possible 10 bar this seed which IS
germinahle enough and clean enough
but not adapted 10 our conditions
The representatives Of the depart
ment called the attention Of the seed
dealers to the prevalence of anthroc-
nose disease Of red clover, which Is
sometimes severe from Washington, D..
c., to Tennessee. and northern Ala
hama. il affects the second crop Of
all clovers, foreign and domestic, and
even the first crop may be destroyed.
There are resistant strains and II q
important that they be developed and

ket At present most Of our northern
grown domestic seed is es liable to
this disease as the imported strains
with the exception Ole the Italian
which IS the most susceptible
AT present tho only protection for
the farmer is to insist on information
as TO the source Of the red clover seed
offered for sale and In buying only
from reliable firms and organizations.
If Italian seed is sold as domestic Or
under some other name much harm
may be done, both to the turner's and

Poultry Products Favored to
Increase Incomes.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agrieultu-e.l
Farm women Of Charleston, county
S. O., sold 5,441 pounds Of poultry and
10.3ss dozen eggs during 1928, as COM
pared with 600 pounds Of market poul-
try and 1909 dozen eggs in 1920.
This large Increase In three years was
accomplished, on the part Of extension
workers comparatively directed by the
United States Department of Agrieul-
ture and the state agricultural col
leges, by constantly emphasizing the
value Of pure bred poultry and Of the
need Of grading all products. The
home demonstration agent rendered
all possible assistance in the market
ing Of these products, but the good
results are attributed largely to tile
fact that at every meeting held, no
matter what subject was discussed,
poultry was advised as a means Of
increasing the home income. Out Of

The first result Of mans study Of
the weather was apparently to run

points out that the first civilization
Of which we have much record. that
Of Egypt, existed where there was
really no weather. This civilization
may have been the result, he says, of

ais or races from other parts Of the
world, who fed their inclement native
climes and settled in Egypt A stint
