OF OLD EEVOL lifi.&A. .. till v. : ' " - - s!lV WASHINGTON atVALLLY FORGE. -! v? - If, univtRSAk aptciAi feature, with it has been the purpose, both of the author and producer of this four-reel play, "Washington nt Valley Forge," to not only give a detailed account of the famous incident in America i struggle for freedom, but to weave in a counterplot of a nature that would give absolute dminatic value, so far as the stage or screen is concerned, to the story. This is evidenced clearly in witnessing the picture, as was done by the writer recently in the Universal Film Manufacturing company's private projection room. According to announcement, it is to be released as a Universal special feat ure; it is only films that have been lavishly produced and possoss an extra ordinary interest, historical, or other wise, which ar released under this brand by tho company. Here you see Francis Ford, famous as a leading man and producer, and Grac? C'unard, well known as photoplay author and film star, at their best. Miss Cun ard wrote the play and Mr. Ford pro duced it. And they both play leading roles, supported by an unusual oast. The midnight ride of Paul Revere, the battles between minute men and red coats ,the battle of Valley Forge, the heartbreaking sufferings and toil of the Liberty Coys in the biting Bnow at Valley Forge, love, intrigue, plots and counterplots aro all packed into four reels of intense excitement and pathos. And, speaking of pathos, we have in the final climax of the play ono of tho most pathetic, appealing scenes pos sible to conceive of. Hetty, the little rebel, loved tho stranger who came to lier. She trusted him, unaware that he was a spy for the king. He, the stranger, in his turn, loved Betty though appreciating his position. Betty jjave her life for her general Washing ton. Jt was her lover who took it, though believing the while that he was putting Washington to death. When he discovered his tnigic mistake, when Hetty came from her room, dying, and confronted him with tho truth, his grief wns pitiful. It was a situation to bring the tears to every eye. As for the setting') and atmosphere, these are perfect in every detail. A BIG EATERS GET Take a Glass of Salts Before Breakfast if Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You.

Airs. Ford plays tho'part of the spy a splendid characterizption. Miss C'un ard is seen as Betty, a delightful crea tion. A special actor, closely resemb ling the popular conception of Washing ton, was secured to enact this role. The company, an enlarged one, spent sev eral weeks in the snow-lad hills and the results approach the sensational. The great awakening in. the colonies in the spring of 1775, the patriotic ac tivities of Samuel Adams and John Hancock; the midnight ride of Paul Eeverre; the gathering of the minute men and the battle of Lexington all these important details of Colonial his tory are shown as a prelude to the intense war romance woven around the situation at Valley Forge during the terrible winter of 1777 when the cause of liberty loked next to hopeless. Betty, daughter of a minute man who was killed in the battle of Lexington, is stopping at the inn of her uncle, a Tory sympathizer, near the winter camn of, Washington's army at Valley Forge. Betty loves and is courted by a rebtl soUier, who in reality is a British spy. A detachment of Hessians are occupy ing the inn when news arrives from Valley Forgo that tho time is propi tious for attacking the Continentals. Betty overhears the plans for the Hes sians. To carry word of the proposed attack to Washington, die disguises as a eripple boy and, by a clever ruse, obtains possession of the written plans of the Hessians. As she emerges from the inn she meets her sweetheart, the spy. Trust ing in him, she tells him of her pur pose and he takes tho plans and prom ises to deliver them to Washington. She returns to the inn and removes her disguise. Instead of carrying out Betty's instructions, the spy brini;s word to the Hessians that Washington will spend the night at the inn. 'Hetty's brother, who lias been grant- ..J I Jf ..I .. - i ..! !. 1 j en n leuve ul nuseuee to visions sisrer, is concealed near tno inn. llo lioar tho spy betrayed his commander. Tho brother nttnclis the spv and in tho battle tho brother is overpowered, but not before Betty enters the scene and j learns the true identity of the man she I loves. The spy and the Hessians then plot! to murder Washington if he arrives at the inn. Their plans are again over-1 heard by Betty. Before she can do any-j thing, however, the Hessians aro hidden i in the house and Washington and Lit 1 Fayette arrive. The cousiprutors in-; tend to murder Washington as he sleeps ; and ho is conducted to a bedroom by l the Tory innkeepor. i Betty now liberates her brother and tells him to fly to Valley Forgo and , bring tho Continental soldiers to save j their general. Betty then goes to Washington's bedroom and tells him: "The landlord snya you shall tako tho other room, sir. This ono is already taken.'' Washington, with no suspicion of the girl's noble purpose, is led into her bed room while she returns and Occupies his room. The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with filter acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tis sues clog and the result is kidney trou ble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts if the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, got from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad SaMg; take a tablospoon in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juiee, combined with lithia, and has been used for gen erations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneysy; to neutralize the acidB in the urine so it no longer is a source of ir ritation, thus ending bladder disor ders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, makes a dolightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs ia every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. tMMtMMMMM How You Can Exterminate Flies t the very vitals ax m, t. nujuij, The spy cannot prevail upon any one of the soldiers to do the deed, so he decides to do it himself. He steals upstairs and into the room he supposes is occupied by Washington. Once ba side the bed he plunges his dagger into the form which is lying before him. In the meantime, Betty's brother has warned the Continentals of the plot against Washington' lifo. La Fayette hurries to tho inn with a detachment of soldiers. Upon bis arrival at the inn he accuses the spy. loo late!" cries the traitor, "your commander lies dead upstairs." At this intense moment Oenoral Washington comes down stairs, un scratched. A moment later Betty ful lows him, wounded to death, Sho de nounces her former sweetheart and dies, The spy is taken prisoner and carri jd away to await tho punishment which is reserved for traitors.

It was green corn time and we were dining on the porch, with bobwhites, meadowlarks and boboolinks for or chestra. One of our guests laid down his fork and, looking in surprise about the table, exclaimed: "Is this place bewitched? How is it you can eat outdoors this way and have no flies' I was out to Miss 's only the other day, and she tired to have dinner under the apple trees, and the flies were so thick you couldn't see the food on the table. You would think that she, being a science teacher in a normal school, would be intelligent about such things; but she didn 't seem to, know that there' were any flies around, and sat aud tafked and ate. I simply pretended to eat. Every mouthful gagged me. But how is this? How do you manage it f Why aren't the flies as thick out here!" 'There are flies euongh here," I replied. "Just look at those traps. Only, you see, we have turned the tables on them put them in prison and lot ourselves out. Those traps were emptiod and baited twice this morning, the flics being singed and fed to the birds; and every fly that has come to the house for food or drink today has gone straight iuto one of those traps and stayed there." This was two years ago, while I was using the fly-traps designed for indoor use. Still, even with these properly managed, we scarcely needed screen windows or doors, and could enjoy breakfast, dinner and supper on an uuscrened porch, with, few flics about, except in the traps. In fact my solu tion of the fly problem has developed as a by-product of my experiments rear ing partridge and quail chicks. At that time I wag thinking more of catch ing bird food than of exterminating flies. We call the present the "age of man." Zoologically, however, it is the ago of insects. There is but one species of man Homo sapiens. Over 300,000 insect species have been do' scribed, and it is estimated that there are no less than 10,000,000 in tho world. Naturally a sharp edge in the struggle for lifo falls between mankind aud this vast hoard composed largely of foes which seek to devour his person, his cattle aud his fields. Our yearly insect tax for damage to agricultural aud forest products alone rises millions over the billion-dollar mark $1,018,000,000. Add to this, destruction of household goods clothing, carpots, furs, and woolens, and causation of disease malaria and yellow fever, typhoid, hook worm, dysentery, aud the whole list of filth diseases, and the tax which insects levy on the people of this country must rise well toward tho two-billion-dollar mark. Wo howl and kiyi whin we pay this tax with every loaf of bread, pound of meat, parcel of fruit, yard of cloth, cotton, woolen, or linen, or stick of timber we buy, and when wo pay our doctors' bills; and wo lay the blamo on the railroads and the trusts when we ought to take most of it to ourselves for not having senso enough to study insects.

I quote the following, complete, from the bulletin of the Indian board of health, July, 1910. It might have hap pened in Massachusetts or New TorJk, and will happen in thousands of house-' holds this summer in every stato in the union, It ought to be cut out and pasted on the family chart in every; home, country or city, in America, and ' kept alive in the tops of our heads and in tho bottoms of all our hearts, This Happened in Indiana, "A few days ago a physician in Martin county, called on the state bac- terological laboratory for Flexner's auti-meuingitis serum. Dr. bJmonds went to the case and found a seven months old baby suffering from a very severe gastrq-enteritis with the not infrequently accompanying meningism. Tho father of the child was a farmer living in a four-room house with, few or no modern conveniences. On the wall of tho largest room was a family history chart done in brilliant colors, with threo columns of lines for the record of marriages, births and deaths. The parents had been married 10 years and six children had been born to them. In the death columns were the names of four children, all under two years of age. Another nam'e has since been added to this list. The cause of this sad story became evident on inspection. There was a shallow surface well in the back yard, a short distance from an open privy. A large pile of manure lay uncovered, almost against the side of the barn. If this farmer had attempted so un thinkable a thing as transforming his premises into a fly hatchery for com mercial purposes he could not possibly have achieved a more brilliant success. "Tho family and several of the neighbors were eating dinner on the back porch. Flies were swarming all over the table, but showed a special liking for a particular dish. They were so thick on this that it was absolutely impossible to tell definitely what it contained until one of the neighbors swung her arm over the table and cleared them away long enough for one, by looking quickly to Bee that the dish contained cottage cheese. The flies were so thick in the house that it wus only with difficulty that thoy were fought away from tho field of tho spinal puncture, and kept from lighting on tho instruments. "On the death certificate the cause of tho death of this child was doubtloss given as ' Uastro enteritis. ' It would hnev been more in keeping with the facts to huvo said, 'poisoned by flies'. ' Tho above may bo but a smull frac tion of the whole story, Possibly this farmer wus producing milk and had been for years neutering similar filth 1 ly funerals among tho inhabitants of a nearby city. Wo aro yearly losing til, 001) babies, under two years of age, by these.cntirely preventable, intestinal filth infections, and tho evidence is pointing to the theory that they aro practically all "fly born." Our annual bill for typhoid is 3'0,OUO,000 with nearly oOll.DOII ciihcs and its toll of 50-, 01)0 lives. We formerly attributed this to contaminated water, milk, or other foods, but recent evidence has proved tliat, a large part of this l'illh rontuini iiation is distributed by the linusu fly. For this good reason l)r. Howard pro posed to chnngo the name to typhoid fiy. As long ns tho fiy wns known at merely a filth nuisance it was not pos siblo to arouse public interest to scrum tho co-operative el fort necessary to exterminate tho pest. Now that itis relation to diseases' is becoming cle.ir we positively must do something effect ive. If some large unit easily-seen enemy, some savugo human foe, per sisted in harassing our homes and cities, shouting poisoned arrows into our midst and causing one-thousandth part of the disease, suffering, and douth, we would rise up (o a mini und exter minate the enemy, Wo cun do no less now that wo know our common enemy to be a pestiferous insect.

LIBERTY STREET people, have we tried to work out olution of the filth-fly problem t Is it intelligent to spend $10,000,000 a year for screen windows and doors in the futile attempt to exejudo a lively insoct on wings when men, women and children, cats and dogs are continually going in and out of doors I Rocogizing that this plan is futile, we Btrain our ingenuity to devise ever more disagreeable, expensive and nerrn racking things fly-spatters and angle foot, indoor traps and indoor poisons to scatter dead flies over everythin. Why not carry the whole fight out of dooref More recent attempts have done this ami have attacked the breeding places, following the lead of successful work in exterminating mosquitoes. Mosqul toes breed in stagnant water, flies in fitlh, chiefly in horse manure, but they may breed in almost any wet, docaying animal or vegetable matter. It is a vory simple problem to fill,drain, stock with fislios, or oil tho pools of a neigh borhood. Wo cannot too strongly advo cate intelligent clenuliness, but It is n . complex and difficult inattor to so deal j with filth that flioB cannot brood in it. All chemical methods aro too laborious and expensive, and carrying tho filth from ono place and dumping it somowhoro elso is only paying Peter to rob Paul. Ia tho city the miles of gutters and sewers specially construct ed to carry off filth, tho public dumps and strap accumulations anywhere; and in tho country the miles of roadsid:B and acres of barnyards and pastures, 'and tho trniulonds of manure from the 'cities, render attack upon tho breeding places of thi! fly utterly hopeless ami Impossible. 1'ndcr primitive condi tions the fly may havo done a little j good, while it was doing much more harm, ns a scavenger of waste filth. Even here, however, tho main ngencii.s are the beneficient bcteria of the soil, land in the fly man has had from the hciginiiing a lively pest which busied If this is done intelligently, none will escape to lay their eggs, aud the peats will disappear as by magic. The hard est and at the same time the feet fea ture of my plan of campaign is that every household absolutely must co operate. One ignorant, careless home can breed flies enough to vitiate the best endeavors of a whole town. The house fly hatched from an egg, laid usually in horse manure, passes through the maggot and puparlal stages, and may emerge as a winged insect fully grown In the short space of 10 days. Then, according to recent ob servations of Ilowlt, it comes to our homes to feed, and buzzes about ovr an area of about 500 yards diameter for 14 days bofore it matures its first batch of from 120 to 150 eggs. It then continues to feed and fly about until, at intervals of probably three or four days, it has laid at least six batches of eggs. A pair of flies beginning operations in April may be progenitors, all wero to live, of 191,010,000,000,000, 000,000 flies by August. Allowing one- (Continued on page 7.)
