If there is a baby in your home you should be sure and take advantage of this op portunity to see it pictured on a "movie" screen. Several attractive prizes! will be given to the babies whose pictures prove most popular. This is a gen uine offer, backed by the Arcade man agement, and those having their chil dren photographed will not be em barrassed by requests to pay for any of the expense of having the baby pictures made. It is all free and should prove a rare treat. Ask about it. Three hundred and twenty-five rail loads went through the last fiscal yfar without a single fatality to a passenger in a train accident.
