Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur- faces of the System thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall’s Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails . to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Suggestions for special day feat- ures for every day during the Christ- mas membership drive were received at Northern Division headquarters from the national membership drive committee. Sunday, Dec. 16, it is suggested, should be Red Cross church day with Red Cross sermons preached from every pulpit. Mon- day publication of governor's mes- sages, statements by military leaders within each district and announce- ments by chapter chairmen, would be in order. Tuesday should be civil employes’ day with a proclama- tion by the mayor and the raising of the Red Cross flag over the munici- pal building. Wednesday should be women’s day, Thursday is suggest- ed as school day, with Red Cross talks by teachers. Friday should be employes’ day, special tribute to the part played by labor in Red Cross ac- tivities. Saturday will be Boy Scouts’ day and the following Mon- day Red Cross ceremonial day with lighted candles placed behind the Red Cross services candles in every window. Four Mennonite colonies near Hur- on, S. D, turned’ over $1,000 to a committee of merchants of the city. religious principles forbade giving the money to any war fund the donors asked that the amount be devoted to charity so that other money raised for that purpose Red Cross. At Glasgow, Mont., business men have taken financial management of the local Red Cross organization away from the women that they may be left free to work for the soldiers. The men have set about to raise sub- scriptions upon a monthly basis, every donor agreeing to pay a cer- tain amount monthly, that the Red Cross of their city may be placed upon a sound financial basis. i THEATERS ’ GRAND TONIGHT A member of the United States secret service is the hero of “The Re- coil,” a five-reel Astra photoplay by Anthony T. Kelly, featuring William Courtenay and Lillian Greuze. The story is melodramatic and moves along at a lively rate. Much of the material is familiar, the race to the governor to save an innocent man from being electrocuted being used at the finish. Grand Tomorrow. William Rugsell's new play, “The Sea Master,” is one of those yarns that grip the imagination with their swaggering sailormen, bucko mates, quick on the rope’s end or belaying pin, and hard-fisted spikkers—their seventy-foot yardarms and seething forecastle conspiracies. ELKO TONIGHT George M. Cohan’s recipe for a happy entertainment as presented in his new Artcraft picture, ‘“Seven Keys to Baldpate” at the Elko thea- ter, is an ideal prescription for the most morbid grouch. In his new film tonic, George M. has mixed with ex- act proportions, mystery, thrills and laughter, with a sweetening dash of love as a tribute to Cupid. all of which will work the desired result upon men, women and children alike. Elko Tomorrow. A killer who reforms and teaches his own kind a lesson in humanity js the character assumed by Roy Stewart in “One Shot” Ross, the new Triangle drama of the early southwest. *“One Shot” brings law and order to the hell-roaring settle- ment of Painted Gulch by virtue of the two fastest guns in that sec- tion of desert country. The pic- ture is one of stirring action. “THE SPY” AT REX Patriotism will run rampant at the Rex theater tonight and tomor- row when Dustin Farnum opens in a new William Fox production, “The Spy.” “The Spy”’ is an expose of German methods of espionage in the United States. Tt combines a mass of thrills with a lack of unnecessary melo- s | | o] | THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER drama and it gives an entertain- publie. Dustin Farnum, as usual, does sterling work. He gives to the char- acter of Mark Quaintance, the spy, a naivete and wholesome good humor which are in marked contrast to the vivid ‘dramatic scenes of the photo- play. He starts out as a young man of wealth and social standing, who enlists on a dangerous mission to Germany in the cause of his country. After .many hair-raising experi- ences, he gains possession of a list of Teutonic spies in the United States. “GYM” CLASS ORGANIZED Tuesday evening a meeting was held in the Presbyterian church 7| basement at which a Young Woman'’s Gymnasium class was organized. Mrs. H. A. Northrop was elected president; Miss Dora Hazen, vice president; Miss Florence Bell, sec- retary, and Mrs. Ray Olson, treas- urer.
