ture, "Hawthorne of the U.
S. A.," which is coming to the Lib

Stage," the latest "Fatty" Arbuckle
comedy, will also open at the Liberty
on Saturday.
The story was adapted from James
B. Fagan's play of the same name in
which Douglas Fairbanks starred on
the stage some years ago.
It centers around the adventures
of two American law clerks making a
tour of Europe in a rented automo
bile. Just when they are down to
their last penny, Hawthorne, one of
the- clerks, breaks the bank at Monte
Carlo and, laden with wealth, the
pair are misdirected into a tiny king
dom called Bovinia. In the revolution
that follows Hawthorne is led by his
romantic attachment to the Princess
Irma to espouse the cause of royalty.
Pacifying the country by rash prom
lees and a judicious use of his new
found wealth, the American injects
pep and system into the kingdom and ,
eventually turns it into a republic
and wins the girl.
The role of Hawthorne is said to
fit Wallace Reid to "perfection. His
leading lady is Lila Lee and others in
the cast are Harrison Ford, Theodore
Roberts. Tully Marshall. Charles
Ogle. Guy Oliver and Edwin Stevens.
The picture is a Paramount-Artcraft
and was directed by James Cruze. , . .

PRINCIPAL NEED SUPPLIES
Prince Declares Allies Must Come
to Rescue of All-Russian Forces'
to Stop Spread of Bolshevism.
NEW YORK. Jan. 7. Prince Can
tacuzene, who married the daughter
of President Grant, and who is In
this country on a military mission
for the Kolchak government of Rus
sia, said today concerning the re
ports that Kolchak had given up the
command:
"Whether or not Kolchak has been
forced to resign active command of
the all-Russian armies because of ill
ness, the military situation is not
seriously altered thereby. There are
other men in the Russian army who
will carry on the fighting as long as
there is a foot of ground left. There
is vast territory between the Rus
sian front and the Pacific ocean and
even If Irkutsk has fallen into the
hands of the bolsheviki.- which I my
self find hard to believe, the all
Russian army will carry on.
"The Kolchak armies have the men
and they have many and excellent of
ficers. What they need is supplies.
They nave no shoes, no clothes, very
little ammunition, and very little
food. If the allies wish to stop the
spread of bolshevism throughout the
world, they must come to the rescue
of Kolchak and Denikine. Semenoff
is a Cossack. He Is an honest and
strong man. I do not believe that he
is playing into the hands of the Jap
anese as people in America are in
clined to believe. He Is a Russian
and a patriot. His methods are ruth
less, but his purpose is to fight the
bolsheviki and save the world from
their clutches.
"The Kolchak armies are fighting
on the defensive. Until they are giv
en supplies by the allies, they will
not be able to take the offensive.
Their great contribution to the peace
of the world at present Is that they
are preventing the spread of bolshe
vism into the orient.
"The bolsheviki in Russia have
failed. They know that they have
failed. It is only a matter of time
before the peasants, who are disillu
sioned and bitter, uprise once more
and annihilate the bolsheviki gov
ernment. When that happens what
will the leaders of bolshevism do?
Russia is already looted and impover
ished. There is little more to gain
by holding the power in Russia. Their
obvious aim is to find new worlds to
conquer. There Is great opportunity
for them among the ignorant masses
of China and India. Once leaders
and the propaganda of the bolsheviki
have entered the swarming lands of
the orient, there is no estimating the
suffering and horror that will des
cend upon the world. Nothing stands
between the western nations and
such a catastrophe except the thin
wavering line of the Kolchak forces."

URIC ACID POISONING
Br Da. N. C COOK.
A poison as dangerous as
strychnin is manufactured within
the body, called uric acid. When
it accumulates and the kidneys fail
to carry it off, we suffer from dull
headache, sleeplessness, muscular
pains, lumbago, or it may cause
rheumatism or gout.
Drink plenty of water between
meals a pint of hot water one-half
hour before meals is the best and
take "Anuric." This was first dis
covered by Doctor Pierce, of the
Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y.r
and is harmless to the system, but
sure and effective in carrying off
the uric acid. It stimulates the
kidneys. "Anuric" (anti-uric-acid)'
can be obtained at almost any drug
store, and helps to counteract the
acidity of the system. '
