ADVANCE STORY NO. 3

The noble sacrifice of a little wife who left the picturesque beauty and quiet of a home among friends in a little community in the Canadian Northwest to minister to the wants of homeless and orphaned children during the days when the flaming torch of Prussian ruthlessness was being carried by war-maddened hordes over the once-beautiful valleys and hills of France and Belgium, is the dominating theme of “The Heart of Humanity" the eight-reel production by Allen Holubar in which Dorothy Phillips scores the most distinctive triumph of her screen career. This feature will be presented at the Princess theatre on April 30, and May 1, with a supporting cast of more than ordinary excellence, including such favorites as William Stowell, Robert Anderson, Margaret Mann, Pat D’Malley, Walt Whitman, George Hackathorn, Gloria Joy and * others. The story of the play is by • Allen Holubar and Olga Scholl and was adapted for the screen by Mr. Holubar. Nanette, ward of Father Michael, the parish priest, and wife of John Patrica, oldest and handsomest of five sons of the Widow Patrica, in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, is so moved by John’s descriptions of the misery and suffering he has found among the children of France and Belgium, that she decides to go abroad as a Red Cross nurse. She leaves her own baby at home and en-

lists. * In a convent in Flanders that has been converted into a refuge for orphaned and homeless children, the little wife works night and day to allay their sufferings and bring cheer into their hearts. While engaged in this work she is captured by the Germans and brought before Eric van Strang, a Prussian officer who had once been her husband’s college friend and who had tried to make love to her in the little Canadian village. Strang’s old desire for her returns and he tries to force her attentions upon her. There is a terrific fight. She escapes to another room and plunges a knife into her bosom just as John, her husband, rushes into the room. She recovers, however, and weeks later, in a hospital, she is decorated by the French government for valorous service with the Red Cross and is persuaded to go home. Later there is a happy reunion in Canada—a reunion which crowns with .complete happiness the work of Nanette.

Luncheon on City's Products.

A- made-in-New Orleans luncheon was given in that city recently, at which v every dish, from soup to nuts, was made entirely of New Orleans products. The object was to prove to housewives that they need buy no other than homemade groceries and delicacies.

Power In Gentleness.

Men are led away from threatening destruction; a hand is put into theirs which leads them forth gently toward a calm and bright land so that they look no more backward —and the hand may be a little child’s. —George Eliot.

"You can catch anything If you bar* tile right kind of bait.” remarked the facetious feller. “Fer instance, a man can take a little angle worm and catch a fish and the same man can take a little dinky street car and catch a train."

Man’s Ingratitude.

"Once upon a time," said Uncle Eben, “den* was a fairy dat granted a man three wishes*. Den de man made a fourth wish and de fairy couldn' grant it an’ de man was jes* as mad an' ungrateful as if he hadn’t had no wishes granted at aH.

Big Gold Coins.

Catacombs of St. Louis.

St. Louis has catacombs like those of Paris. The mining of clay for brick and other products has left many chambers and tunnels beneath the outlying districtsr as the quarrying of stone for building materials long ago has undermined certain European dries.

Uses for Ground Glass.

There is a use even for broken glass. Some of it is ground into fine powderiike particles and used for various purposes. Some is melted and made into new glass objects.

RECORD MOST BE MADE OF DISCHARGED SOLDIERS

Through an act passed by the recent legislature/ it becomes imperative for the recorder of each county in the state of Indiana to make an official record of all of the soldiers discharged from his respective county. , , County Recorder Scott has been advised to commence the work at once and asks that all soldiers who have been discharged from the service in this county co-operate with him that the work may be done efficiently and promptly. Under the act it becomes necessary’ for all soldiers to forward by taking personally to the recorder’s office their discharge mail or certificates. Upon the completion of the filing of the record by the recorder, the former must then sign the same before the certificate of discharge be returned to him. If the soldier wishes a duplicate of his discharge made he may obtain it by applying to the recorder and again signing the record. ReCorder Scott asks in order that confusion and delay may be avoided in the return of the discharge certificates sent by mail, that the return address of the soldier be plainly written. Each discharged soldier should give this matter his immediate attention that the work may be expediated.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. RENSSELAER, INDIANA,

Attend the big demonstration of the battery at THE MAIN GARAGE, at 8 o’clock, Wednesday evening. Look at the battery, test it and have it explained to you. It will be of interest to anyone * who uses batteries and to those who do not, as its possibilities are great. Think up any test you know that would destroy any other battery and apply it to the 0.K., and It will still be found O.K.

OLD DESIDENCE TO CHANGE LOCATIONS

Possibly one of the oldest residences in this city has been purchased by C. H. Leavel and it will be moved from its present site on Cornelia street to a lot owned by Mr. Leavel in the northwest part of the city. We have been unable to ascertain just when this building was erected. It was, however, built by Dr. Loughridge who sold it to Alfred McCoy and who in turn sold it to Dr. J. H. Loughridge. The doctor moved into this property two years after he was married and lived in it until his death. A few years ago it was replaced by a beautiful edifice now occupied by 1 Dr. Loughridge’s daughter, Mrs. James H. Chapman.
