Although aeon us a bricklayer's daughter in the first part of the story, she is given opportunity to wear . many of the beautiful (Towns and ' frocks for which she is noted. Miss Murth, since she has been informed that thousands of-young girls through out the country are looking to her as an authority on maidenly fashions, ia constantly on the alert for the latest creations and even went so far as to have tho description of one of the ifowns alio wears in "A Kisa for Susie," telegraphed from ' New .'YorlQ. r ... ......... I horse, and give parades through towns which they pass on their journey. In one town they won such popularity that they determined to enlarge their troupe, so one of Bessie's castoff dolls vaa dressed up in shredded wheat to repreent a Hula-Hula dancer. Harold Goodwin, as Peter, Bessie's little playmate, conceived a plan to amass a large fortune. A sugar barrel was secured and these words printed on it: "For men only. Price 1 cent." It was not long before news of this spread like wildfire, and all the vil lagers from far and near came to see the mystery. After paying the re quired price they were permitted to look into the barrel, where thoy be held Bessie's Hula doll gazing up at them with a strange fire in her eyes. This delightful picture will be shown at the Star Theatre today and tomorrow. j Worth Their Weight in Gold. i STAR !

Butter Labels for sale at The Observer Office. Dr. M. K. Hall, chairman, La Grande Chapter Red Cross, today gave the following statement to the Observer: "La Grande Chapter American Red Cross Monday shipped one box of knitted supplies for the army to headquarters in Seattle, containing the following articles: "Fifty-one sets, each containing one sweater, one pair sox, one pair wrist lets, one scarf. "Twenty-four scarfs. "Fourty-six pairs wristlets. "Fourty-eight pairs sox. "Two. pairs bed sox. "Seven helmets. "These artices were made by the ladies of La Grande, Joseph, Enter prise, Lostine, Wallowa, Elgin, Union, (Jove, Ladd Canyon, Imbler, Summer ville, Hot Lake, many of whom are members of the Red Cross, and many fof whom are rot. "This shipment is in addition to ten boxes of surgical dressing and hos pital supplies which were shipped about two weeks ago. The officers of the chapter are grateful for the work done by the ladies throughout the two counties, which probably has enabled these two 'counties to send the first shipment of : knitted articles to reach headquarters in Seattle. The spirit exhibited by these ladies, the majonty of whom 'hove no relatives at the front, is, we believe, not excelled by that of any people anywhere. j "The greatest difficulty that those ; directing the work have met with is that of obtaining material, especially "nrn. thn nppwnl cnnnlv nf thi liittfir being almost exhausted. They have received very valuable aid from some of the merchants of the several towns throughout the two counties, who es pecially in one instance, have gone far to obtain yarn. "It has been a mutter of regret to those in charge of the work that the rules of the American Red Cross ab fcolutely prohibits them from selling any of the supplies in their posses sion, and especially yarn, to individ uals desiring to mukc articles for rela tives at the front, or to anyone what evor. "Such action is considered unfair to the merchants as they supply ma terial to the Red Cross at wholesale prices. Red Cross money cannot be used for any speculative purpose and j therefore we are not allowed to buy or sen. "The short-iec of yarn has been, and is such, that although headquarters at Seattle intended to buy iarge quanti ties of this material and distribute it I to the different: shunters, brunches nnH ' auxiliaries, so far they have been un- f able to obtain any. La .Grande chapter a.. 1 .1 r ... : !..:. yins uuui uidiciuiv lui luiuiw III uuitllil- jng as much yarn as they have. 1 "Those who have assumed responsi bility for the work here, wish through jvou to express their deep sense of gratitude to all tho ladies of these two counties who have so nobly en tered into this work, under the super vision of the chapter and tho several auxiliaries, and to express the hope and the belief that they will continue until they have completed the allot ment of 250 sets, or more, of knitted wear destined for use by the soldiers in the extreme need that will arise for them in the trenches at the front, where they are suiely destined to suf fer, and some of them even to make the supreme sacrifice for us." .

It may sound absurd, but Ihe true reason why so many people & constantly have recourse to pur- 2 gntlvcs to keep in condition Is that purgative drugs are so easy 3 to obtain. In other words, very often the person who prescribes a purgative for himself Instead 3 of lessening his tendency to con- stipatioti 1s only contlrmlng his digestive tract In its habits of sluggishness. The intestiue is just like a human being In that if It can get Its work done for It it will become slack and lazy.

Sudden and dy namic charges of humor! These ele j nients, and considerable more make George M. Cohan's new Aitcrnft pic- ture, "Seven Keys' to Baldpate," the j most novel film of the year. When I it was produced on the stage by George M. it defied the critics and I won their most favorable reviews. It bewildered the audience and left them proclaiming it the most remarkable farce ever staged. It was heralded as the greatest novelty of the theatre am1 readily accepted as such wherever it appeared. On the screen of the Arcade theatre, beginning next Mon day this famous theatrical hit will disclose not only the unusual mystery, humor and thrills displayed by the original play but also the inimitable George Si. Cohan himself, plus the wide scope of the cinema which was denied its stage presentation.
