Too Bad! Turkeys Fail to Arrive at Camps in France FRANCE. .. Monday Dec. . 4. The great bulk of the American expeditionary force will not get its expected Christmas dinner. The submarine attack which forced the. ship which was carrying cranberries to turn back, and through some unknown circumstances two ships which were carryin the supplies of turkey left the United States so late that it was impossible for them to arive in France in time. The turkeys which already have arrived in the army zone were left over from Thanksiving and will go an extremely short way. The quartermaster's corps is busy trying to procure a substitute, but the army is really disappointed, for turkey at Christmas had been looked forward to by virtually every member of the command. The quartermaster had made careful preparations, but his calculations went wrong. Now it appears that the principal dish of the day will be "monkey turkey," which is ordinarily canned corned beef.

On The Screen

WASHINGTON., S ' One of the real screen novelties of the year is "All for a Husband." , the new Wiliam Fox feature, starring the accomplished Virginia Pearson. If you have come to believe that there is nothing new under the 'sun which shines on the photoplay world, go to the first theatre that shows .'A ll for a Husband" and rejoice in finding a picture that is distinctly "different', Mis Pearson, always a versatile1 actress, has adual role calling for the most exacting character portrayal.

MURRETTE William Russell, star of adventure drama, and known from coast to coast as ".The Adnois of the Screen," had to rescue Joe King, a member of his com

pany, from drowning In San Pedro har

bor while the outfit waa rehearsing a new AmeTicah-Mutuai drama, "The Sea Master," at the Murrette today

and Tuesday. . 1

In the course of the play. King, who is cast as Portuguese Joe, leader of a

band v of mutineers, attacks Russell

while both are lying out on the seventy-foot yard arm of the schooner.

"Southern Cross."

"Come at me as though you meant to kill me," ordered Russell, and King

slid along the footropes like the good yachtsman he is, pinning "Big Bill"

back down against the flapping sail,

nearly breaking him in two.

When Russell got out from under

he gave King a heave that sent him spinning off the yard into fifty fathoms of water. "Hey! that guy struck a stanchion,"

yelled one of the deck hands, but Rus

sell already knew what had happened and he bit tbe water nearly as soon

as King did.

Many tons of hay from the Swiss mountains have been exported to Germany to be used as tea. The hay consists chiefly of aromatic plants and is gathered with much difficulty in the high altitudes. The price paid for this hay is between $5 and $8 for 100 pounds.

NUX, IRON, PEPSIN AND SARSAPARILLA The combination of two great medicines, Hood's Sarsaparilla and Peptiron. by- taking them' in conjunction, one before eating and the other after, brings into co-operation the above-

named substances, best for the blood, nerves and digestive organs. This combination is ' especially recommended in cases that are scrofulous, or rheumatic, anemic and nervous, or where the blood is both impure and pale, deficient in iron one of the most common disease conditions of the present day. In cases where a laxative is needed, Hood's Pills should be taken. They work In perfect harmony with Hood's Sarsaparilla and Peptiron, and are mild and efficient. Adv.

No White Christmas - Here's the Christmas weather forecast A cold wave will hit Wayne county tonight. The chances for a white Christmas are slim, says Forecaster Moore. But there will be flurries and possibly squalls that may cover the ground with white.
