U.S. MOVIES HAVE STRANGLE-HOLD ON BRITISH PUBLIC
BY MARY HENKE London, Oct. 20. It there is one thing more than another that makes an American conscious of national superiority, it is the London moving picture shows or cinemas, as they are known over here. British "movies" are still in the dark ages as far as acting and art of production are concerned, and it is the American film stars who are drawing the throngs to the big cinema palaces. A Mary Pickford picture here is almost as big an event as the Prince of "Wales' birthday. Everybody goes.
Once in a while in America some icon
oclast dares crltize little Mary, but not in London. The newspaper re
viewers solemnly take up a lot of
space telling all about her art as an actress, treating the film as if it were a great dramatic production.
They have been showing "Daddy-
Long-Legs at the most prominent motion picture theatres, and one London
newspaper sent a reporter to all the
charity institutions to learn if orphans were as badly treated as the Mary
Pickford film represented. Bill Hart Draws Well. The actors who draw the crowds in the United States are the most pop
ular on this side. Even "Bill" Hart,
who might be considered an essential
ly American actor, has an enthusiastic
following. And of course Charlie Chap
lin and "Doug" Fairbanks are always
popular. There seem to be no out
standing British stars who have caught
the popular fancy as have the Americans.
The British producers have been
struggling desperately to stem the
tide of foreign films. They are ham
pered in one thing by their booking
system. A film is announced and reviewed, and then sometimes there is a year's wait before the picture is put on the market. By that time all the fans have lost interest. The star's
clothes are out ct style and the film has lost its timeliness. There are not the studio resources here that are found in the great "movie" cities of America. The scope of the picture is necessarily limited, because the companies do not have the elaborate "sets" and properties re- ' quired for a big production. If an American company wishes to stage an Egyptian scene, it is ready at Los Angeles. A British company would have to go to Egypt for It. British Producers Worried. The hold which film predominance gives a nation is what is worrying the English. If all the cinema fans see American movies and nothing else, American ideas and what is worse, American slang, will take possession of the public to the exclusion of everything else. So the English film men are working day and night and worrying even more, trying to match Yankee enterprise. They are sending English films into the colonies, and especially into Canada, to show what Britain is doing, and to lure the colonals from over-indulgence in the American production, but so far their success has been notably limited.

3 or 4 Dozen Instead of 3 or 4 Eggs, a Day This Shows How Idle Hens Can Be Made to Produce Money in Winter.
"When I began using Don Sung in December, I was getting only 2 or 3 eggs a day from 50 hens. Within three weeks, before I had finished a 50 cent package of Don Sung, I was getting from three to four dozen each
day. I shall never be without Don
Sung." Jermima Hedges, II. F. D. 1 Shumway, 111.
This 3 or 4 dozen eggs a day, at
wiinter prices, was almost clear profit. Your hens should do as well. It's no trouble to use Don Sung and you risk" nothing by trying it, under this offer: Give your hens Don Sung and watch results for ono month. If you don't find that it pays for itself and pays you a good profit besides, simply tell us and your money will be promptly refunded. Don Sung (Chinese for egg laying)
works directly on the egg laying
organs, and is also a splendid tonic. It is easily given in the feed, improves
the hen's health, makes her stronger
and more active in any weather, and starts her laying. Try Don Sung for 30 days and if it
doesn't get you the eggs, no matter
how cold or wet the weather, your money will be refunded by return mall. Get Don Sung from your druggist or poultry remedy dealer or send 50 cents for a package by mail prepaid.

Though It scarcely tallies with the
tales reverting far back into a antiquity which have been offered by various New York firms since the an
nouncement of a National Blouse Week, comes an interesting answer to the query, 'Who was the first wearer of the blouse? is given by Arthur W.
J. Becker, auditor for the Scruggs-
Vanderwoort-Barney Dry Goods Co.,
of St. Louis. It runs as follows:
"The blouse or shirtwaist as originally known, was a distinctly Amer-
lican idea: it began in the early eigh
ties and was born in Indiana. The first wearer was the daughter of a small dry goods dealer in Fort Wayne. The girl attended college at Chicago University, was given to athletics and
wore her brother's flannel shirt when she played tennis as did many others at that period. "At the rear of his store, her father had a dress-making department and the daughter conceived the idea that if a boy's shirt could be worn to an advantage with a skirt, why not have dainty fabrics made up similar to the shirt, to wear for dress-up occasions." "She began planning and with the help of the head seamsters they designed what was known as 'the Shirtwaist' and today are shown as a result of this girl's idea some of the daintiest of blouses in sheerest materials." "Such is the birth of the shirtwaist or blouse in Fort Wayne, in our own state, Indiana." The United Waist League of America, has set aside Nov. 10 to 15 as National Blouse Week in which blouse buying is to be encouraged by the showing of beautiful styles in blouses and the offering of special buying inducements by the retailers of America. The Geo. H. Knollenberg Co., will participate in the great national event next week and will have specially priced and specially displayed both in their show windows and in their blouse department on the second floor some of the most wonderful creations in dainty blouses to be found in the blouse markets of America. They extend a cordial Invitation to all women of Richmond and vicinity to come and view this great showing during the week of Nov. 10 to 15th. Adv.
What Will You Do About Your Catarrh?
Improper Treatment Leads to a Serious Stage Because you have doubtless been fairly comfortable through the mild summer months, and free from the soreness and irritation of the membranes, do not make the mistake of thinking that you are rid of your Catarrh. For if you suffered with this disease last winter it will again be with you in all its severity unless you have eliminated entirely from the blood the germs which cause the disease. This of course you have not done if you have relied upon the usunl local methods of treatment with sprays, ointments, jellies, atomizers, lotions, etc., the only possible effect of which treatment is to afford but temporary relief. For nothing but temporary relief can be expected from treatment which reaches only the symptoms of the disease. Are you going to further temporize with a disease that leads to such a serious condition? Don't you know that you can use gallons upon gallons of local treatment without the slightest permanent benefit? Just give the matter a little careful thought, and you will realize that it is but a waste of time and money, besides seriously jeopardizing your health, to continue a method of treatment that has proven of so little value in making any real progress toward genuine benefit. First of all find out jus what causes your Catarrh. If it was merely a local irritation and inflammation of the delicate linings of the nose, throat and air
passages, then you might reasonably expect to be cured by the use of local remedies. But have you ever known of one singl'e person to be freed from the slavery of Catarrh by any kind of local treatment? Why? Simply because you have overlooked the cause of these symptoms, and all of your treatment has been misdirected. Remove the cause of the clogged up accumulation that choke up your air passages, and they will naturally disappear for good. But no matter how many local applications you use to temporarily clear them away, they promptly reappear and will continue to do so until their cause is removed. But if you will take a treatment that goes right down to the very source of the disease and attacks it as its starting point, then you are on the right track, and can expect results. S. S. S., the fine old fifty-year-old blood remedy is an antidote to the millions of tiny Catarrh germs with which your blood is infested. A thorough course of this remedy will cleanse and purify your blood and remove the disease germs which cause Catarrh, and at the same time build up and strengthen the entire system. Don't waste further time by continuing a treatment that can make no progress toward permanent relief, but begi nto take S. S. S. today, and you will receive the same benefit that others have. S. S. S. is sold by all drug stores. Write for free medical advice about your own case to Chief Medical Adviser, 155 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. Adv.

You Should Read Advertisements for Your Own Profit There was a time, when you had to take some advertisements with a grain of salt. That was because a few advertisers thought they could sell their goods better by misrepresenting them. Those advertisers have either gone out of business or mended their ways, long ago. They learned by hard experience that it did not pay. There were other advertisers who proved that the only way to advertise successfully, make regular customers and build good-will, was to tell the absolute truth about their goods in their advertisements. Today, practically all advertisers are of too high a character to permit an untruth to appear over their names. When a company advertises to you, it is trying to get you for a permanent customer. It has goods that it is sure will be of real value to you. It tells you the truth about those goods. To learn the facts about the things you need to make you a useful, comfortable and happy citizen, learn them by reading the advertisements.
