In the opening scenes' Hudson
Mnrim aMmsei a eatherinir on the
necessity of preparedness, ointing
out bow well prepared the belligerant
nations in Europe were for the pres
ient war and how , poorly equipped
ithis country is in every . way. Suo
I marines are shown in action and tor
l pedoes are discharged at an imaginary
foe. The boom of the cannon from
the battleships and the disappearing
uns on land, accompanied by approp
riate sound from the orchestra are
absolutely thrilling. .
If some of the grcwsome scenei in
the play appear a bit drawn out, they
firmly impress upon the observer the
bssic motive of the play. The drama
is well staged and deftly acted.
I Surprises in Photography.
Photographically "The Battle Cry
of Peace" contains some surprises.
Through trick camera work a strug
gling humanity is seen in the heart of
New York fleeing to escape the
bombs hurled from the shells of the
enemy's battleships.
AT SHERRY'S.
BIG GUN BURSTS.
"Soldiers' Oath" Brim Full of Great
Feature Moments.
William Fox's splendid sensation,
"A Soldier's Oath" featuring Wil
liam Farnum the $100,000 star, will
be at Sherry's today last day. In
realism, scenic effects . and strength
of. appeal the film surpasses photo
play of any kind, its friends say.
Features to be seen include the prison
fire in which real convicts appear,
the bursting of a 42 centimeter gun,
and a group of other features. - Its
equal is seldom produced.
How to Prevent Croup.
When the child is subject to attacks
of croup, see to it that he eats a
light evening meal, as aa overloaded
stomach may bring on an attack, also
watch for the first symptom
hoarseness, and give Chamberlains
Cough Remedy as soon as the child
becomes hoarse. Obtainable every
where. ;

"BATTLE CRY OF PEACE" GRIP
PING WAR LESSON.
Pacifists who shout against increas
ing the army and navy for national
defense receive a body blow in "The
Buttle Cry of Peace," the film spec
tacle which will be shown at the Ar
cade Monday and Tuesday. In vivid
pictures qnd through sub-titles those
who decry war preparedness are
brought face to face with the disas
ter thut mighty-ensuo should a power
ful foreign nation invade our shores
, in our present military state.
No attempt has been, made by J.
Stui.rt Bluckton, author of the play,
to deal Vwith his subject with kid
gloves. Blunt, unvarnished and grim
facts wore set forth by Mr. Blackton.
Shows Brutality of War.
The author has deviated far from
the beaten pafth in picture drama
building. To drive home his message
he shows war in all its brutality and
grewsomeness, carrying his. theme
into two peaceful homes which suf
fer from the invasion of a foreign,
army. An observer will not find the'
happy ending prevalent in most pic
ture productions. If he seeks the
American soldiers to repel the invad
ing forces at the end of the picture
he is doomed to disappointment. The
American soldiers do have their in
ning with the enemy, but suffer a dis
astrous defeat and bow to the enemy,
accepting "peace at any price."
At the end of two and a half hours
of startling episodes picturing reali
ties and fantasies by double photog
raphy attended by an inspiring musi
cul score and suitable "effects," spec
tators wero heard to comment how
woefully weak America is. Statistical
I diagrams of population and wealth
compare this country with other na
tions of importance and show how
ridiculously small is the army and
navy Uncle Sam provides to safeguard
his property.
Thrills Patriotic Citizens.
Every, patriotic American will be
thrilled and inspired by this play,
which distinctly is an American pro
duction for American people, adapted
by an American from Hudson Max
im's book, "Defenseless America."
Hyphenated Americans will find noth
ing offensive in the picture, for the'
enomy comes from a mythical coun
try. The spy in the play, e distin
guished looking ' foreigner who
masquerades as a peace propagandist
is called Emanon, which read back
ward stands for "no name." ,
Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they sare
most dangerous and the result is
Neuraliga, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rheumat
ism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. It stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short time
the stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia or Neural,
gic Headache will find one or two
applications of Sloan's Liniment will
give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensa
tion of comfort and warmth and quiet
rest and sleep is possible. Good for
Neuritis too. Price 25c at your
Druggist.

Why Not Have
Perfect Lenses?
Improvements and better
ments In classes are just as
frequent as in anything, else.
Until a few years ago all
lenses were flat, because no
one had thought of a better
way to make them.
Today nearly 90 per cent, of
lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
curved to follow the shape of
the eyeball.
Tories give a perfect range
f vision from every angle
the edges do not confuse you
when looking from the corner
of the eye.
Let us demonstrate the many
advantages of Tories made
by us.
