The charity ball given by the Bemidji lodge of Elks, Friday evening, was a splendid success and will mean much to the families of this city who would otherwise not have been able to enjoy the feature of Christmas day, a special repast and observance of that anniversary. It is an annual custom of the Bemidji Elks to hold their charity ball for this worthy purpose and the one this holiday time was one of the most successful, for the humane spirit pervaded its atmosphere ; The Salvation Army is also endeavoring!to secure help from passersby who can spare a little change to be used in assisting'needy families in their holiday observance, and with the hearty co-opération of the antlered tribe joys will enter homes which otherwise, perhaps, would not. It’s a noble cause. e WHEN AMERICA’S EYES ARE OPENED. Collectively speaking, the American eye is slowly open- ing to the path of honor, and right, and justice. To the one of greed, it is a flaming magnet which seeks, to draw everything of value within its grasping folds. Time was when we acknowledged that all men had rights . which were to be considered and respected, but if something is ‘not done and done soon, some day the eyes of the people will ~ be opened, suddenly, rudely and relentlessly. The editors of the country, whose convictions are never i smothered under the muzzle of corporate greed, have long warned Washington of the ever increasing tide which flows only toward destruction, and they are sounding a fresh warn- _ing today. e To dgy-thisswarning may sound pessimistic; Tomorrow it may be prophetic. S [ —, S HIGH TRIBUTE PAID LEGION. The highest tribute to the American Legion post ever paid, or ever will be paid, was that of Daniel Gracie, who presented emidjisanit, which has its meeting quarters in the rooms i Civic. and Commerce association in the. city rge photograph of his son, Ralph Gracie, the Q_jn whose honor and memory the post was named, “the supreme sacrifice in an air battle above the sea against an overwhelming fleet of enemy fighting craft manned by the Huns. It will occupy an honored place where all. may see it and realize the the wgrld. price paid .to bring peace to Valcfimir K ‘Vochmetrofl', who claimed to be a representative of twenty million of the Russian soviet, was stopped when he landed in San Francisco by the immigration authorities. He said he had an important mission in Washington. Perhaps he wanted to see the secretary in late him. NEWS OF THE THEATERS THE.MIRACLE MAN. There is a. completeness, artistry’ and general skillfulness of production in “The Miracle Man” that has been seldom equaled. It merits all the adjectives promis- cuously allotted to ‘‘good features.” 't the be:t of reviews would miss the: subtle appeal of: thiepicture-it- celf.” (eorge Loane Tucker,. its screen adapter. and director, here be- queaths a picture to coming genera- tions of photoplay patrons that will make them regard the earlier attempts of the cinema with respect ‘and admiraticn, A It is forceful, appealing and of the] highest entertainment value. “The Mijracle Man” starts a four day run at the Elko theatre on Christmas day, . # ¢ THE LIFE LINE. From Maurice Tourneur we have come to expect something spectacu- larly different from the ordinary run of feature motion pictures. Such suc- cesses as ‘‘The White Heather” and “Sporting Life” demonstrated his pe- culiar genius in transferring to-the screen the thrilling action of the best of the Drury Lane melodramas. He has done a similar work in “The Life Line,” his latest Paramount- Artcraft picture, which opened at the Elko theatre last evening, and again shows there tonight, also Thursday, matinee and evening. ‘Fatty” Ar- buckle repeats his remarkably good comedy “The Cook,” at the Elko to- night and tomorrow. GRAND TONIGHT. ‘When ‘“Miss Arizona’” showing at the Grand tonight and tomorrow was first produced the authors looked around for a star who was not .only good-looking but one who could ride a horse and shoot a gun as well as a man. The task was difficedt until "the name of Gertrude Bondhill was mentioned. Miss Bondhill was im- ‘mediately engaged; for she can not only outride most of the men, hut she BEESE S (e the Capitol city and congratu- is a typical Western girl. & Miss Bondhill can shoot a gun, throw a lariat and ride a horse as well as most \of the men in the pic- ture. . Besides all this she is a popu- lar star who has earned the praises of no less a. personage than President Wilson for her unusual skill and clever. acting. James O’Neil and a clever cast ably support Miss Bond- hill in this thrilling feature. - ELNA FERBER'S STORY. ‘When Hobart Henley read Edma Ferber’s beautiful short story *“The Gay Old Pog,” he Said, “There's a| story I'm going to put on the screen rome day,”—and:he did.’ * *“The' é rnarm - of pathos and deft human couches; has been put on the silver- sheet exactly as Miss Ferber wrote it. Under the almost reverent guidance of Hobart Henley, Miss Ferber’s brain-child has come to life. . The story is that of Jimmy Dodd, who ' promised his mother on her deathbed, to take care of His three selfish sisters and not marry until they did. Jimmy was one of these plodders to whom ‘it never occurred to follow his own desires. He sacri- ficed himself until his sisters'weré taken care of—and then begans his' “gay dog” existence. John Cumberland, the noted far- ceyr. who plai I'in such rib-ticklers as “Twin Beds,” “Fair and Warmer,” “Parlor Bedroom and Bath,” and “Up in Mabel’s Room,” is “The Gay Old Dog.” Mrs. Sidney Drew’s scenario is perfect and Hobart Henley, as' pro- ducer-director, has covered himself with glory. “The Gay Old Dog,” will be presented Wednesday and Thurs. day at the Grand theatre. GET IN EARLY—REX. - When “Back to God’s Country” was shown at the Rex theatre Sun- day, a large number of intending pat- rons were unable to gain admittance as the seating capacity was packed. It will be shown again tonight and seats should be secured early. Based on a theme that kindness to animals wili be returned to the don- or by those animals, the story depicts the life of Dolores Le’Beau, a maid of the wilderness whose kind treat- ment to forest beasts has taught them to love her. The story then switches to the Arc- SR THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER This is a lucky day, especially for those who se_ek position or appointment of any kind.

ST R SAVED HER LIFE SAYS POLICEMAN Wife Was So Run Down She * Lost Fifty, Pounds— ., Restored by Tanlac . “I doubt if my wife would be alive today if it had not_been for Tanlac,” said Police Officer:Joe Johnston who for nearly twenty-five years has been in charge of the police emergency ambulance of Milwaukee, Wis. “Mrs. Johnston lost fifty ‘pounds and was so weak she had not been to town in over a year,” he continued, “but since taking Tanlac her health is fine.

She couldn’t work more than ten minutes at a time without stopping to rest. Her diges- tion was so bad she cuold not eat She was near- ly always constipated and had the headache practically all the time, too, and frequently the headaches would be so bad she would have to go to bed. = At night she was so nervous she couldn’t rest and would have to get up and walk the floor to get her nerves settled. We tried everything -we could think of to build her up but nothing did any good and she kept ;mf losing what little strength she had eft. “One day I saw a statement in the paper by a fellow officer about how ! / "MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, l9l}9 mugh good Tanlac had done him and I got some of the medicire for my wife and it beat anything I ever saw the way she began to improve. Her appetite came back within a few days and she could eat anything she want- ed without any bad after effects. The headaches and nervousness disappear- ed and she sleeps fine every night. She took six bottles of Tanlac and gained so much in weight and strength she now does all the house work without a bit of trouble and she s and feels like a different lggkmn. It is worth a hundred dol- Jars just to see how she enjoys,com- - ing down town agam. . ] i «Ag I said before I believe Tanlac saved her.life and I will be glad to verify this statement.to anyone‘who ¢alls on me.” .
