STRAND TO START
 NEW POLICY HERE
Shows to Change Each Sunday and Wednesday
 Starting Tomorrow

Starting tomorrow the Warner Strand theater will change its presentation policy. A new show will be presented each week on Sunday and Thursday, instead of three program changes weekly as heretofore. This is done at the request of hundreds of patrons who have been forced to miss many of the hit productions, that are playing the Strand every week, because they were presented two days only. Under the new ar rangement an extra day is added to each program thus making 1t possible for everyone to find time to see the shows that are the talk of all Waterbury. David Cooper field" which heads the show open- ing at the Strand tomorrow, Is more than a classical work of fic- tion, transferred to the screen.
 In a certain measure it is the life story of Charles Dickens, the novelist.
 For 1t is generally known by all students of Dickensiana that at one time the author began writing biography. But he found the memories so poignant. the scenes so vivid in his memory, that he could not continue.
 After two or three attempts to continue the biography, he re- wrote 1t completely making 1t a third person story and creating the fictlcious character, David Cop perfield"-who was, in reality, the boy Dickens.
 Many incidents connected with the .novelist's childhood are faith- fully told in the story. It is gen.

David's face was serious. IF you
guys think you're doing me g. favor,
you're all wet. You're picking on
him just because you don't like him
in particular, and you think I m
going to do the same. Well, that's
not my way. If l think there's any,.
thing wrong with Boy Scouts, I'll
tell them so in a different way, not
by razzing him. He's Scout be-
cause he thinks they're swell. He's
never been told he's q workers kid,
and ought to be in an organizat ton
that's for workers kids"
Then turning to Harold, who
looked very much relieved, he said:
Comm my way, Harold?' And they
walked off together.
That happened a year ago. Harold
has changed since then. It's not
only that he's a Pioneer. He's not
a sissy any more. He seems to know
what he's talking about. He and
David got to be real pals, and they
have gotten several of their class
mates 10 join the Pioneers. And he
always remembers that it was David
who got him to join the Pioneers
not by jumping on him and punch
ing his jaw, but by being friendly
and showing him WHY.

BESSENrER, Ala. - I must say
that the Daily Worker is the only
paper that means everything to the
workers Of the Tennessee Coal and

revolutionary year for 1885.
At the Readers Mine Of the T. G.
I. on Christmas all the men in the
company union paid fifty cents each
for a Christmas tree and they got
little fruit on it. The company
sheriff, Jack Brown, and his thugs
went around telling the workers, see,
you fellows are getting things from
the company so you know what the
company has for you.
Some stool pigeons shot at some
company union men in the Ray
mond Mine, trying to raise red
scare" This mine is about mile
down the mountain and belongs to
the Republic Steel Company.
Mr., Crawford. the Republic Steel
Company sheriff, called up Jack
Brown and asked him to come and
help find the men that did the
shooting But, Jack Brown said it
was off company property and that
he wasn't coming since he was busy.
The Raymond Local Of the Inter
national Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union endorsed the Work
ers Unemployment and Social In
surance Bill. That is why they are
trying to raise the red scare" there.

Urges More Publicity

by Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK-All eyes should be
directed at the ohrbach and Klein
Department Store strikes at Union
Square, led by the once Workers
Union.
All sympathizers must support
these strikes actively. There never
has been such a situation before
in New York, and if the strikes
are lost it will be terrible blow,
not only to the prospect of organic
ing white collar labor, but 1t will be
a blow at all labor.
One way of supporting the strikes
is through publicity, If all leaflets
of any sympathetic organization
issued for any occasion carried an
extra line at the bottom saying,
Support the Klein and Ohrbach
strikers" or some other slogan, so
much more publicity would be at

Nose BIeeds
D. J. o.: You state that you get
- frequent nose bleeds. some of
which are moderate, others profuse.
The cause of nose bleeds may be
local, that Is, in the nose itself; in
general, that is due to infection, GER
tain conditions Of the blood and OF
certain body organs. If you are a
female, and it may occur periodi-
cally, it may be an irregular type
of menstruation.
We advise you to get a general
examination. including an examina-
ton Of the blood cells. followed by
visit to a nose and throat special

can be easily handled by him.
Since frequently repeated nose
bleeds may cause anernia, we advise

Tape Worm
G. H., Chicago, Ill: Your friends
cease presents an unfortunate situa-
ton, such as is frequently seen in
capitaliStic society, in which poor

though definitely durable aillnent,
cannot receive proper medical advice
and treatment.
The problem Of tape worm, as you
say, is very serious one. This
dreaded parasite reaches tremendous
size In time. clinging ruthlesSly to
the wall Of the bowel by means of
hooks. He consumes most of the
nourishment taken by the host with
the result that the patient becomes
progressively paler, weaker and un-
dernourished, as is the case with
J. M.
Getting rid of this parasite (ss
Of parasites of society is difficult,
but not impossible. The main pur-
pose is not to pass the worm, but
in addition to make sure that the
head, which should be looked for in
the stool by an experienced observer,
has also been passed Only then
can the patient be labeled Cured"
Although a variety of treatments
are known, the following Is the SIM
plest:
A. Evening:
u Empty bowel with an enema
or a mild laxative.
q Eat a light, fluid supper.
B. Following morning:
y Eat only coffee or tea to be
followed In half hour by q drug
for expelling worms. There are
various of these, but we found the
best results from male fern. After
taking this, follow 1t with dose
Of epson salts.
In a few hours the worm should
be expelled. Throughout the treat
ment the stool discharge from the
bowels must be watched for the

Flat Feet
F. K, Bronx, N. Y.:-You write,
my feet are becoming worse. I
have spent much time and money
going to hospitals and clinics with
out obtaining relief, and have
bought expensive orthopedic shoes
only to put them away, because I
could not wear them" From this
description, you are, undoubtedly,
suffering from what is commonly
termed double weak feet or flat feet.
This is largely due to the relaxa-
ton Of the ligaments Of the feet,
resulting in the f1attening Of the
longitudinal and metatarsal arches.
The treatment generally prescribed
for this condition consists Of proper
exercises to strengthen the muscles
and ligaments that hold up the
arches of the feet; and at later
stage plates are made after taking
plaster of paris impression of the
feet. Proper orthopedic shoes are
essential. The term, orthopedic
shoes, does not mean patented or
expensive shoes, but rather those
which are both wide and long
enough and which maintain the
foot in proper position. This type
of shoe can be obtained in any shoe
store and is not necessarily expen-
Sve.
Before spending any money, Ii
would be advisable for you to con-
suit an orthopedic doctor who is a
physician specializing in the treat
ment of bone joints and feet.

that outside of school, David talked
with the fellows about the SCOTS
boro boys, and about war and things
like that. The fellows liked him, and
he even became q sort of leader
among them. He told them about
the Pioneers, an organization that
was for workers kids, not like the
Boy Scouts, who were used for the
bosses needs. He told them that
all that stuff, that only Boy Scouts
fell for, about dying for your coun-
try, was just lot of bunk to get you
to go to war so that the rich could
make more money. David didn't
have to say much against the Boy
Scouts. The kids didn't like them
anyhow, and in particular they did
not like Harold. "Mama's boy a
