The story of tho photoplay tells of a typical American youth whose "wanderlust" and Ideas of living close to nature are not in accord with tho views of life assumed by his sweetheart an ambitious society bud. Bridge parties, matinee d mces, tea parties and sumptuous dinners are the Important factors in the pretty girl's social career and these occu py too much of hor time for wander ings amidst God's country in the great outdooi-B. How the persistent .youth takes her away fio.n her sur roundings and wins her over to his way of thinking despite herself, of fers one of the most amusing tonics the serein has yet displayed. -Many Climes ure visited and many surpris es are presented In typical Fairbanks style, ranging in variety from doing B handstand on a mountain precipice 8,000 feet above sea level to teach ing a hippopotamus the famous Fair banks smile.

If von have trouhlo with your stomach you should try Chamber Iain's Tsil(!"i!. So many have been restored to health by the use of tlieBC tablets and their cost Is so little, 26 cents, that it is worth while to give them a trial. Adv. artistically directed by Dell Hender son. The two principal figures In out cast" are a man and a woman whose experiences in love havo been slm llnr. When the paths of theso two people cross the woman has become a woman of tho streets nnd tho man a drunkard. The soul of tho woman being the first to awaken, she lifts tho man, and together they renounce tho evils to which each hus fallen. The jarring note In the moralo of the play is the inference which the pict ure gives of lovo without marriage. When the man decides to discard the wonmn and return to nn old love, Ills dlscoveiy of the shallowness of the love of the last-named not yet di vorced from her husband, causes him to turn again to the "outcast" whose forgiveness ho easily wins. The action of this picture is unus ually realistic, which together with Its play on human emotions will tend to make it popular. Thifl picture will be shown nt the Star Saturday only. On tho same bill will appear Chns. Varley, a character-change comedian who will do bis best to entertain. Soon Over Ills fold.

Tcnnesse is plan ning to organize the entire Btate in separate units and to encoprage them to train for nursing. "Colored teacheiB in Maryland are giving all of the time that they have usually taken for much needed rest to do volunteer work and the state chairman including publicity, reports that too much praise cannot be given to their devotion and patriotism. "In New Orleans a negro woman lectures to other women cooks of the community on the value of wheat substitutes, and they havo classes in food conservation in tho municipal kitchen. "Florida finds the cooperation of the colored people particularly val uable in the case of food conserva tion. In taht state they aro highly organized under a separate chairman of their own, who Mas her own or ganizer, and they have units all over the state.

She has established binding relations with nil tho workers and is keeping a record of them up to date. "In Amelia, Maryland, tho Amelia Current Opinion Club, composed of prominent colored women of that city , has taken up the study of food. In many counties the women aro raising money to get wool for sweat ers, and also to make comfort kits for men drafted from their coun ties. "A chairman has been appointed in Georgia, who is organizing tho col- , ored women of that state. "It was a great step in Louisiana when the colored women wore asked to form one unit of the food conser vation parade, in recognition of their ablo and faithful work In handling registration booths for thoir race." Double Poultry Production. CORVALLIS, Jan. 11. (Special.) If the farmers would nil double their poultry production, every fam ily in the United States could bo eat ing poultry two or three times a week and eggs every day, says Prof. Diyden of O. A. C. and enough red meat would be saved to make up tho meat shortage to every one of the ten million allied soldiers fighting for the country. Not all farmers could make a profit, but many could, nnd patriotism may be sufficient reward, anyhow. A love drama that Ignores conven tion but touches tho heart.
