Revival of Woman s Handiwork Recalls Poem Praising Weaving

WASHINGTON "Headin' South." the Artcraft picture now being exhibited at the Washington theatre, is an exceptional Fairbanks production, and is full of action from Btart to finish. The picture Kives him the role of a western cowboy who takes an active part in troubles on the Mexican border. Fairhanks undertakes some hair-raising

"stunts" with his fleet pony, "Smiles," J and the photoplay bristles with gunplay and battle In which hundreds of row boys run dow n a lawless band of

Mexican raiders whose depredations have aroused a desire for retaliation and punishment. "Headin' South" is the attraction at the Washington theatre last times today. MURRETTE . The new theatre art invented by David' W. Griffith In producing "The Birth of a Nation," playing at the Murrette, has enabled him to surpass by far any stage spectacle. "Ben Hur" and "The Blue Bird" were supposed to be the high-water mark of such productions. They sink Into insignificance beside this epic of American history with its 5.000 scenes. 18.000 characters. 3,000 riders and ?00,000 details, the result of eight months of tireless labor and the expenditure of half a million dollars. MURRAY In ' Loaded Dice" it is believed Frank Keenan. the Pathe star, has one of the strongest stories of his photoplay career. In it he plays a part of the kind in which he delights, that of a strong and masterful man who accomplishes his ambitions reeardless f)t all oppoeit'on. "Loaded Dice" was written by Kllery H. Clark, with a scenario by C.llson Willets. H Is showing at the Munay theatre in connection with Alia Axiam. the Hindoo seer, crystal gazer and mind reader. Mrs. Svsan Lester Dead at Home of Son at Modoc

The' revival of interest in women's handiwork and knitting, has brought to light an old poem written by John Finle.y, ona of the first editors of the Palladium, praising the "art of weaving." The poem was awarded a prize by S. C. Mendenhall as best illustrating the benefits which have been realized from the invention of a hand loom which he invented. The judges who awarded the premium were Dr. John T. Plummer and Professor Lewis Estis. A silver medal, was given the invention. The poem written by Mr. Finley was elaborately conceived, describing the evolution of the art of cloth making from the primeval age until "some expert, fastidious dame, ambitious for her looks or fame, cn her invention laid a tax. and learned the use of wool and flax," as the poem expresses it. The poet attributes the development of dress to woman, and credits her with improving the art of making cloth. Manv haoDV homes, he attrib

utes to the influence of the woman who spin3 and weaves, and censures the belle who does not perfqrm these womanly (itties, just asthe woman who cannot knit and sew hospital garments, Is censured today. He regrets the "new-fangled" factories which are taking away from the homes the housewifely arts. He writes:

"But those old times are giving place, To every onward movement And since the age of steam commenced The watchword is improvement. Ten thousand spindles now are heard All humming like distraction; And shuttles rattling by the score, But governed to the traction. Machinery it is all the go, With pale-faced operators, Whom poverty compels to drudge, For wealthy speculators." The hand loom to which earnest tribute is paid, is described as "entirely new in its construction and operation. It has all the attributes of a power loom, its advertiser claims, and can be performed by a person of the commonest capacity. The poem says it has convenience, speed, and ease, and is exceedingly meritorious."

tentlon of his men to the expeditious and snappy way the Americans unloaded and assembled tnelr artillery. On Tuesday, finding himself in the vicinity of a certain unit, the secretary sent for a fellow Ohioan, Carlisle Babcock of Cleveland, a private in the marine corps, and a son o a personal friend. After a brief talk the two were photographed together. The visit to Domremy, the home of Jeanne of Arc, was the concluding incident of the day. Secretary Baker and General Pershing driving to the little village. They inspected the church where the French heroine was baptised, and the humble cottage where she was born.

This crop is one of the most enduring and satisfactory vegetables. It can be grown on almost any -well-drained soil, but will do best on a deep sandy loam. There is little possibility of having the ground too rich, and liberal applications of partly rotted barnyard manure should be made before the plants are set. The seeds of asparagus may be sown during the spring in the rows where the plants are to remain, and the seedlings thinned to stand 14 inches apart in the rows. It is usually more satisfactory to purchase two-year-old roots, as considerable time is saved in this way. As the asparagus bed is a permanent fea

ture of the garden, it should be located accordingly. Before setting the plants the soil should be loosened very deeply ,

either by subsoil plowing or by deep spading. It is a good plan to remove the top-soil and spade manure into the subsoil to a depth of 14 or 16 inches. The plants may be set in rows for horse cultivation or in beds. If in rows they should be set 14 inches apart, with the rows 3 feet apart. If in beds, one foot apart each way is the proper distance to set the plants. In setting the plants the crowns should be covered 4 or 5 inches deep. In the North the plans should receive a mulch of 4 or 5 inches of ma

nure jn winter. in tne tsouin tue mulch is not necessary, but the plants should receive a coat of manure or an application of fertilizer, preferably in autumn. No shoot should be removed during the first year the plants are set in the permanent bed, and the period of cutting should be short during the second year. U. S. Department of Agriculture. PEPPERS Plant the seeds of peppers in the hotbed about six weeks or two months be

fore time to set them in the open ground. They should be transplanted at least once and should not be set In the open until the ground is thoroughly warm. When grown in the garden tho large bull-nosed types should be placed in rows 3 feet apart with the plants from 15 to 17 inches apart In the rows. Frequent shallow cultivation should be given, and the plants continue to bear until frost kills them. U. S. Department of Agriculture.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result

of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat j

liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. MoRt headaches, "dullness" and that

lazy feeling come from constipation and j a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits, 10c and 25c a box. All druggists.
