Essanay is offering exhibitors and the moving picture loving public an unusually unique feature picture. It is all the more a novelty in that, although primarily it is a drama of Japanese life, it Is at the same time a valuable historical film and an attractive scenic picture. "The Tigress" has slain a tiger. But "The Tigress" is no longer the cruel,, bloodthirsty beast of the jungle whose reeking jaws drip strong men's blood. "The Tigress" Is now a weak, sweet woman, who has found herself and her soul through the all-redeeming power of love, and she has made her last killing. Buried on Boot Hill, after being trapped by the woman he has betrayed, lies the Tiger, known as "The Gent" and now disclosed as "The Collector," a notorious bandit, victim of the unerring skill of the Gun Woman of Devil's Kitchen, widely notorious as "The Tigress."

HOME GARDEN CLUBS HELP STIR INTEREST, GIVE AID TO AMATEURS

GARDENING MAKES APPETITE The more blisters you raise in cultivating, the less water your plants will need. Weeds waste moisture and plant food. And they're not even pretty. Have you filed your hoes? Some sticks to mark the rows? Gardeners of a neighborhood, whether beginners or experienced, should find profit as well as pleasure in the forming of a local garden club, in the opinion of specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The meetings can be conducted on the basis of experience meetings to the mutual advantage of all. Beginners can take advantage of the experience of successful gardners, and thus obtain much valuable advice they may not find in books or papers on gardening. In the present emergency, it is pointed out it Is not only a privilege but a duty to pass on the results of garden experience when such experience may save another from error or increase his chances of success, v May Buy Together.

the current season is announced for an early appearance at the Murrette, when D. W. Griffitha colossal spectacle "Intolerance," reaches here. This is a wonderful new art form .which Griffith has worked out eince his auocess with "The Birth of a Nation.' It tells four stories of as many different ages, linking the modern with Pans in medieval days, Palestine at the dawn of the Christian era and ancient Babylon during the time of Belshaszar's famous feast and the downfall of that scene of early civilization. It is the largest theatrical undertaklni; ever seen and its Impress has been felt around the world. WASHINGTON "But I are innocent absolutely innocent. Claudia Landis in deep distress pleaded with the Judge who was hearing the divorce case brought a'gainst her by her husband, to judge her guiltless. 4 But In the eyes of the law the evidence was all against Claudia. There was nothing that the ju&m saw hia way clear to do. but to Judge Claudia guilty. See "The Tenth Case." with June Elvldge as the star, at the Washington theatre on Sunday. The next picture in which Jane and Katherine Lee. William Fox's "Baby Grand" film stars, will be seen is "Troublemakers." If ever a photoplay was appropriately titled, this Fox Standard Picture Is. according to the reports from the Fox studios, whence come stories of amazing pranks and stunts, in which these little film celebrities figure. There is a strong plot and a virile story in "Troublemakers," making an excellent background for Jane's and Katherine'a comedy. A pleasing romance is unfolded, and a puzzling tragedy mystery is cleared up, as the result of a series of pranks perpetrated by the little stars. Its climax carries a punch, but before it is reached a tense story in film has been told. An excellent cast supports the Lee children, and the picture, it is predicted, will rank as one of the year's big successes. Critics viewing "Troublemakers" speak highly of it. At the Washington Monday afternoon and Tuesday. Norma Talmadge, the famous Select star, will appear at the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday in "Ghosts of Yesterday," adapted from "Two Women," the successful drama by Rupert Hughes. In this picture, Miss Talmage plays two roles; first, the lovable little seamstress who redeems the young waster from a spendthrift's life and a suicide's grave, and second, a wanton cabaret singer who resembles her in the flesh but is most unlike her in her nature.

YOU' YOURSELF! ative work and co-operative buying. The club members may unite to do the heavy work in breaking up a neighbor's garden; and should emergency arise, may help in preventing damage by storm or flood or insect visitation. If insect attacks can not be met by simple methods, the gardening club may buy a sprayer for the use of all its members. Costly garden tools needed only occasionally also may be obtained in this manner without hardship to the individual gardener. Interest Boys and Girls. An Important feature of the work can be the organization of boys' and girls' garden clubs, separate from the adults.' In banding together the young folks to help in the campaign for more food, assistance may be obtained from the States Relations Service of the United States Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the State agricultural colleges. It Is regarded as important that the boys and girls be interested, for many of the light tasks of gardening can be performed by them and they will do them willingly if given a partnership In the undertaking. Exhibits of garden products and ether outgrowths of the club idea may suggest themselves to the club organizer. Emma G. Lemen, State Elementary Superintendent, and George N. Burnie, General Secretary of the State association. Meetings will open at 9:30 a. m. and 1:30 and 7:30 p. m. GERMAN DEAD Continued From Pags One. to a London report Japan has been requested to do all that Is necessary to guard allied interests in the far east This has not been confirmed officially. Peace Negotiations Off. Peace negotiations between Germany and the Bolshevik! government apparently have been broken off again. Resumption of the German forward movement and the fact that the Russian peace emissaries have asked that a train under military guard be sent to meet them near Pskov indicate that Teutonic aggression has not yet been satisfied. ; ., The BolsjievikJ are. making strenuous preparations to meet the German advance and Premier Lenine Is sending forth, proclamations urging all Russians to save the revolution. Moscow and the interior of Russia have declared -against a separate peace and the local councils In the interior are making ready to resist the invaders. Belated despatches from Petrograd

say the Bclsbeviki are destroying strategic railways, bridges and roads and are sending large forces to the fighting front The Germans are said to be within 80 miles of Petrograd on the southwest and are approaching Orsha, on the same meridian of longitude as Petrograd and 300 miles west of Moscow. Vitebsk, 75 miles north of Orsha also Is threatened. In the Ukraine ,tbe advance of the Germans and Austrians, who have now joined their ally in driving the ... Bolshevikl from the new republic, goes on rapidly. Kiev, the capital, which has been in Bolshevik! control, is in danger. Vienna reports the surrender of 10,000 Russians and the capture of much war material and railway rolling stock.

GRAND JURY Continued From Page One. found in its investigation that smallpox, as it prevailed in the recent epidemic. Is no longer a disease to be feared, and that the board of health was in no wise Justified in allowing the maximum fee of S3 an then ner. mitted by ordinance, for each visit maae to a smallpox case. "Can Not Conceive." The Jury can not conceive how doctor bills out of all proportion to the services rendered, and this so apparent by a glance at the bills themselves, could have been approved by the board of health and allowed by the board of works. Grocery and coal bills of persons quarantined were paid , by the city without regard to the financial ability of such persons to bay their own provisions. Bills were paid by the city In many instances of persons well able to meet all their own obligations, and in most cases these persons were intending to do so until it was suggested to them by the sanitary officers or other health officials that the city would take care of them. All the bills for groceries and coal properly furnished to persons financially unable to buy the same while quarantined should have been presented to the Township Trustee for payment. The City officials allowed hundreds of dollars worth of bills which should have been paid - for by the Township. Allowed $3 A Trip. - The city physicians were allowed a fee of $3 per visit in small pox cases, when other doctors in the city were making such trips in their own private practice for a fee of $1.50, and at the same time that the county was paying but $2 a visit in such cases and for longer trips than those made in the city. In all the city physicians were allowed approximately $1,900 for their services during the three months, and $2,000 was spent for groceries and $466.45 for coal. An efficient and proper application of public funds during such a period would have enabled the city to make improvements and repairs at the city's detention hospital or pest house, which needs were frequently urged upon the city officials by the matron of the hospital, only to be met by the reply that the city was short of money. The City Health Department which was under the supervision of Dr. S. C. Smelser should be held primarily responsible for the improper expenditures, as the other departments based their approval of the claims largely upon the recommendation of the Health Board. However, in many instances the bills were so glaring that

other departments of the city government cannot be excused for their laxity in allowing the amounts. The cost of the Health Department alone reached $5,686.95 for the past year, and this did not Include salaries. Peat House Conditions Further evidence in connection with this department disclosed certain facts pertaining to the pest, bouse maintained by the city for the care and treatment of patients having contagious and infectious diseases. The pest house proper is In a deplorable condition when considered in a sense of giving sick people any accommodations. The sanitary arrangements are wholly Inadequate and the practice of patients being exposed to get their meals, fuel, water, etc., should be remedied. The building should be lighted by electricity by all means, and attendants or nurses should be provided to look after the welfare of the unfortunates. Meals furnished by the matron while substantial do not smack at all times of the eavor that would appeal to the average sick person.' Attending physicians should prescribe or see that appropriate diet is served. It seems almost a crime to subject fellow-beings to such surroundings, and the city should take the first opportunity to arrange a hospital suitable, for the purpose and in keeping with what a city like Richmond should have in this line. Matron Overpaid In connection with the pest house the grand jury found that money was very loosely expended, the matron

there being much overpaid .by Dr. Smelser for some services which she rendered. Sdme of the instances of mismanagement further In connection with the pest house were these: On two occasions a woman was kept at the pest house unattended, with men In the building and no way for her to lock her bedroom door except by placing her cot against the door as she slept A young boy was kept over night in the pest house unattended. Sick persons had to maintain their own fires and wash their own dishes. There are no toilets in the pest house and sick persons were required to go through the cold to such toilets located outside of the buildings. Meals for the patients were not brought inside the building, but the patients or some of them, had to go to a nearby bench on the outside of the building and there get their meals. The floors of the pest house were not heated and were not covered with rugs, it being necessary for sick persons to stand on cold floors in dressing. Although the matron was hired at the rate of $1 per day for each person as a nurse, she was not required by the health department to go inside the building at any time the patients were confined there, and thus the patients were without attendance on their wants either during the' day or night. For Carrying Water. Part of the time all the work required of the matron as a so-called nurse and for which she was paid $1 per day for each patient was the matter of carrying water to the pest house from her residence nearby.

time she was receiving S5 per day for carrying water to five people. The grand jury has been greatly handicapped in its examinations on account of the incompleteness of records which should have been kept with an exactness that would have made them reliable and a source- of dependable information. The jury was impressed in its investigation of city affairs with the necessity of having men in public office who have the character of . integrity which will not only keep them out of jail, but which will bring to the performance of their work such honesty and .careful methods as they would exercise in the conduct of their own private affairs. Perhaps the system of handling city affairs is adequate if properly applied, but undoubtedly there is need for much common sense, character and integrity In the handling of public affairs.
