Tonight at the Armory, the Bemidji high school. basket ball team will play its first game 6fithe season, when it meets the high school quintette of Wadena, and there shgngld be a large attendance of rooters at this contest, for the visitors are coming heralded among the best of tHe conference. It will need every ounce of strength on the part of the locals and also good judgment and we sincerely trust they will be at the long end of the score when the final whistle blows or gun is fired. Bemidji has a heavy schedule this winter and several of the stiffest teams of the district will play here. It is hoped that sportsmanship will reign among the audience and set on ex- ample for the treatment accorded the Bemidji high school team in a district football game in the southern part of the district. —o0 GOOD BYE, EMMA AND ALEX. Well, at last! Emma Goldman and ‘Alexander Berkman will be deported from America and sent to soviet Russia where they will be permitted to preach disloyalty in its every phase, and thrive thereon. Their presence in the United States with their anti- ‘Americanism and disloyal screechings was a stench to the nostrils of all loyal and patriotic people, who are proud to be citizens of this great democracy. But it seems to have been a herculean task, and the pair was allowed freedom of the cities and the nation to expound their nefarious doctrines of anarchism and disloyalty, until it was recognized that a horde of snakes of their stripe had stealthily infested this country, wearing the red badge of treason to all good government. et e L CAN'T HOODWINK THE LEGION. President Wilson stretched forth his “iron hand” and stayed any possible break with Mexico over that Jenkins affair and it died a peaceful death. No use starting a scrap without a good reason, for it will keep the war secretary busy in ex- plaining his part when Broms was released from a federal pen. He is the state secretary of the Communist party of Minnesota and refused to don the uniform of the men who|. saved his hide in Fort Leavenworth prison for disloyalty, and as a result the chief executive will be unable to hoodwink the ioldiers of the American Legion throughout the nation. They now. —_— 00— Eighteen members of the Communist party were con- demned to death in Budapest, according to a dispatch from Pgn'is yesterday. Pretty rough stuff to hand out to such a be- nightened group They should have been recommended by the military authorities for release. L TR ey Wilson says the senate killed the peace treaty, and the ie{:]a&e sgys Wilson killed it. Now, to be politely blunt, who illed it? s (s And, while you are about it, just make it a Merry Christ- mas for yourself, also. e But why speak further of Mexico? Expects the Spirits to Solve a Murder Mystery HICAGO.—*I shall solve the mystery of the murder of Mrs. Louise O. Browne within 30 days.” This statement was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Tomson, a spiritualist and childhood friend of the widow, whose murder in . 4 the bungalow at Maywood remains un- solved after weeks. of fruitless investi- gation. ) In order that she may haye first- . hand impressions, Mrs. Tomson .and her family will move into the bunga- - low. The family consists of Mrs. ' Tomson, her husband, C. H. Tomson, and their daughter, Miss Halma. Withip a week after they have moved in the Tomsons will hold a seance in the bungalow. The chief of = police of Maywood, the police who have been working on the case, the coroner’s physicians and the reporters who have covered the case will be invited to attend. “I do not promise to catch the murderer,” said Mrs. Tomson, “but I am positive that before I have lived 30 days in this house I shall see, in every detail, exactly how the crime was committed, and I shall have an excellent description of the murderer, and, possibly, the name.” The Tomsons have been in London. They arrived in Chicago recently and last Monday Mrs. Tomson heard ¢f the murder of Mrs. Browne, and when she recognized in the slain woman a former schoolmate she determined to make the effort to solve the mystery by exercise of her spiritualistic faculties. “In Englond it is quite common to ask spiritualists to help in murder cases,” Mrs. Tomson said. “In many cases they have solved the mystery, and in irnumerable instances they have been ilistrumental in giving valuable wid to the police.” % her coxi:edy scenes without delaying Radium Economy. the action. World Has Many l.epers. Nelther geography, climate, diet, heredity nor any other known influ- ence sufficiently explains the cause, the distribution or the behavior of lep- rosy. There is no discovered certain cure for it, and the cases of complete recovery, if there have been such, are rare. To most Americans it is happily only a name made familiar by Bibli- cal mention or by reports of mission- aries to far-off lands; and the estimate that there_are 2,000,000 of these hope- less sufferers in the world comes to many people as a surprise.—Rochester Post-Express. Ancients Had Much Wisdom. A great civilization flourished in the valley of the Nile some three thou- sand years B. C. These Egyptians worshiped the dung beetle, the scarab- eus, possibly recognizing its scaveng- ing powers. The well of Joseph, near the great pyramid, is excavated through nearly three hundred feet of solid rock. The anclent Hebrews were the founders of real public health. The laws of Moses, who was born about 1600 B. C., the first hygenic code kiown, apply about as well today as when first promulgated. e s Famous Art Collection. The unique collection of Chinese works of art made by the late Li Hung Chang, one-time viceroy of China, which for years collectors tried vainly to acquire, has finally been bought by a Swedish syndicate. The purchase price is understood to have been more than a million krone (nominally about $280,000), but the intrinsic value of the collection is incalculable. Li Hung Chang died in 1901. He had a’ collection of works of art larg- er than anything of its kind in the empire. It included numerous old paintings, bronzes of great worth and ancient ceramics. The bronzes date from a time before Christ, and the paintings were done from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. Good Guess. WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER Wash poisons and toxins from. system before putting food into stomach. Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, canmsing jllness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food taken into- the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this_waste is not. eliminated day by day it quickly fer- ments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream,.through the lymph.ducts which should suck only meurishment. A splendid health measure is to- drink, before breakfast each day, a. glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which: is a harmless way to wash these pois- ons from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and freshening the alimentary canal before eating more food. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs but very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside bath- 5 Hides & Furs i GETTEHIGHEST PRICE 2 The I.IRGES;I;gIlISIGlIEIT HOUSE = We k it a o e know it zll by —o : Do your shopping now.

REID AND FARRAR. Tonight only af the Grand theatre Wallace Reid and Geraldine Farrar, two well known stars. whose capabil- ity has made them very popular in Bemidji, will appear in ‘“Maria Rosa” one of the Paramount successes, and shown here for the second time. Love, jealousy, ibreathless action and a battle in this pcwerful drama pulsing with the warm blood of Spain, which was directed by Cecil B. De Mille, “The Marathon,” featuring Harold Lloyd, will furnish the fun on the program. MAURICE TOURNEUR’S LATEST. The attraction at the Elko theatre next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be Maurice Tourneur’s big spec- tacular Paramount-Arteraft picture, | “The Life Line,” which is an adapta- tion of George R. Sims’ celebrated English melodrama. “The Romany Rye.” Jack Holt and Seena Owen are included in an able cast. FRANCE WILL RELEASE GERMAN WAR PRISONERS Paris, Dec. 19.—A German dele- gation announced that Premietr Cle- menceau has informed them that German prisoners of war in France will be returned imemdiately with- out awaiting signing of the protocol. Final conferences between Ger- many and the allied representatives toward making the treaty of peace effective will start next week. LORD FRENCH ATTACKED: COMMANDER IN IRELAND Dublin, Dec. 19.—An attempt to assassinate Lord French, military commander in Ireland, failed today. One of the asassins was shot dead. PRESIDENT CAN'T LIFT WAR TIME PROHIBITION Washington, Dec. 19.—President Wilson cannot lift the war time pro- hibition until the peace treaty has been ratified and the proclamation of demobilization issued, Attorney Gen- eral Palmer declared today. The use of radium on-a jarge scale therapeutically involves danger of loss, and this factpf, Fas been a big one in inducing hospitals and clinics with a gram or more of the‘element in use to utilize radium emanation in- stead of applicators containing the radium itself. There has been in- stalled in a Pittsburgh laboratory an elegant and useful apparatus for the collection, purification and tubing of radlum emanation obtained from a salt of the element. It differs from -earlier apparatus in that liquid air is replaced by chemical means of puri- fying the emanations, which are felt to be more reliable.—Scientific American, Omar Was Right. Apple was among the first words on which the class had been well drilled. One day when Betty’s atten- tion was elsewhere the word ape was introduced.

In the case of “The Rainbow Trail,”” they can be doubly certain, as this latest release is con- sidered one of the best pieces of work the famous star has yet accom- plished. 1t is a strong Western tale, packed with love and heart interest, and af- fords an unusual number of real thrills. It is one of the best Farnum productions ever shown here. “Jim"” Corbett, the midnight man, will be seen in $300,000 Reward.” “BACK TO GOD'S COUNTRY.” Fate as the powerful factor that sways the destinies of humans and animals is interestingly brought out in “Back to God’s Country,” adapted from “Wapi, the Walrus,” by James Oliver Curwood, and which will be shown starting at the Rex theatre Sunday. As Dolores LeBeau, a woodland girl, whose kindly nature has won her the love of even the most savage beasts of the forest, Nell Shipman meets Peter Burke, a novelist roam- ing the wilds of Canada for material for his new book. Both are inspired by the love of animals, to whom they show kindness. How this consideration for dumb ‘brave and, together, they fight their came sweet, gentle Cynthia to the great melting pot of New York. Tra- gedy had touched ner life when her father and two younger brothers paid the penalty of illicit liquor-making with their lives. The girl learns that, whether illicitly brewed. in the mountains or undér government seal and license in huge breweries, the trail of the serpent is still there, for her sweetheart has inherited the evil craving. But youth is strong and way to happiness. Such is the.phase of ilfe on which is based the powerfully dramatic story of ‘“The Moonshine Trail,” showing at the Grand theatre for the first time Saturday and Sunday. “Out of Luck.” Making fun of superstitution is the principal business transacted in “Out of Luck,” a Paramount picture starring Dorothy Gish, which will ap- pear in the Elko theatre tonight, and Saturday, matinee and evening. “Out of Luck” is largely a comedy of situation, with some excellent character - drawing to help matters along. Dorothy Gish as a wistful young person who helieves in signs and omens and re; tes her life by the decrees of a of cards, is right at home in the part. She fits her present part perfectly, and she shows a greater supply than ever of little individual tricks that round out Tfl’g_ supreme court decision on the | Pot Roast, b .. war fgme prohibition act strengthen- | Sirloin Steak, 1o ed his opinion, he said. | Porterhouse Steak, b STATE SUPREME DECIDES Round Steak, Ib . 0INTS OF DRY LAW | Turkeys, Geese, Chickens. .

WHAT THE STARS PREDICT Mercury and the Sun are friendly today. Surprising development in politics are predicted for January. Frauds and waste of public money will come to light and bring about reforms in legislation. This is a forunate rule for giving presents. Beauty will become a national consideration during the coming year and this is taken to mean that art will play a larger part in affairs than ever before. Persons whose birthdate this is should exercise care in their dealings with others if they wuold have success. Children born today will be successful, but inclined to rest- lessness.
