The chief surgeon reluctantly admits that science has not A new hand can not be furnished the lit- tle child now, but who knows what the future may bring to it? In five or ten years it may be possible to amputate the stump of the living child and graft on the hand of a child that has just died.

Local screen lovers who enjoy a good laugh will be glad to learn that Dorothy Gish will be the attraction at the Elko theatre Wednesday and Thursday in her latest screen farce, “Turning the Tables.” It is all about an exuberant heiress who couldn’t be restrained in a private sanitar- jum where her scheming aunt put her. Raymond .annon and George Fawcett are in the cast, and the pic- ture was directed by Elmer Clifton. ALBERT RAY MAKES A CLEVER “TOUCH" ‘When Albert Ray. the young come- dian, was fllming “Love is Love” in the William Fox studios at Holly- wood lately, playing the part of youth who has been reared by a scheming old crook, he had to do a burglary scene. The scenario of this ‘charming picture showing at the Grand theatre tonight and Tuesddy, called on Ray to go through that old safe-breaking stunt of sensitizing the ends of his fingers with a file. 'While the camera was grinding Ray got'so absorbed in making his busines life- like hat he really filed his skin till he developed what he called “a sure enough burglar tip.” “The youthful actor declared that he never realized how the sense of touch couldl be whetted by this trick, ! and that when, a little later, he is forced against his will to open a safe he got all the thrills of real burglary so far as the wonders of the sense of touch were concerned. { The realism that Ray throws into | the scene is ome of many clever: touches of “Love is Love.” NATALIE TALMADGE SUPPORTS SISTER NORMA IN NEW PLAY Natalie Talmadge, youngest sister of the Talmadge trio, is a member of the cast supporting Nérma Talmadge in her new Select special, “The Isle of Conquest,” which comes to the Grand theatre for three days begin- ning Wednesday. In her role of “Janie,” Natalie ap- pears as a sister to Norma in her screen character and it is said that her delineation of the part is so clever that critics already are hail-| ing her as a future luminary of the screen. “The Isle of Conquest” is from the famous novel, “By Right of Con- quest,” by Arthur Hornblow and was adapted to the screen by Anita Loos and John Emerson. Edward Jose directed the picture and Wyndham Standing is the leading man. FARNUM—LAST TIME TONIGHT. The noted William Fox star, Wili- iam Farnum, will be seen at the Rex theatre tonight for his final showing in his latest de luxe production, “The Lone Star Ranger,” a dramatization of the stirring novel of the Texas border by Zane Grey. In this play THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEER with you—did you ever hear of such a man? You'll most likely say that “there ain’t no such animal.” But there is. Brian Lazar was a poet, struggling artist, but he became fam- ous because no woman could resist his charms. Rich women of the “Four Hundred’’ made a pet of him —adored him—sought his love and were happy if he granted them a smile. He was “the perfect lover.” See the thrilling story of “‘the per- fect lover” at the Rex Tuesday and Wednesday, when Selznick Pictures offgers handsome Eugene O’Brien in his first starring production, “The Perfect Lover.” NATURAL RESOURCES. “If the prince of Wales was so bashful as they say, they ought to have made a good poker player of him while he was over here.” “What has his bashfulness to do with the game ?” “Well, he ought to have always been able to command a royal flush.” Cheap and Pretty Home. One of the most.interesting exhibits at the British Dairy association show was a four-room cottage, Tomplete, with large entrance hall, carriage paid to the nearest freight station, priced at $875. The house is made of asbes- tos—a compound of asbestos and ce- ment—and the manufacturers describe it as “weather-proof, ratproof and dampproof.” A charming little week- end cottage of two rooms is offered at $375. The Business Part. A dog had bittena child in our neigh- borhood, and we were discussing the fncident. One neighbor informed us that the dog was part poodle and part bull. Frank, who had listened eagerly to the conversation, turned to his mother and asked: “Mother, which part bit him?”—Exchange. Keeps Winaows Free rrom Frost. Tn these days, when Jack Frost is husy drawing pictures on the windows, many beautiful . works appear over night. but when he completely covers the glass, he is not so welcome. The Russians have a very effective way of preventing the obscuring of the win- dows by frost. Iu Russia the walls of the buildings are very thick, and double windows are fitted to the houses, set about 13 inches apart. The window sill between the outer and in- ner windows is decorated with brizht green moss, and hidden there is a dish filled with calcimmn chloride, which ab- sorbs all the moisture and thus effec- tually prevents the formdtion .of ice dquring the long, cold winter.

But in all of this mad rush for the presidency, we note with admiration that the proud movie actor is not to be de- flected from the glory of his career.

The picturized version of *“The Country Cousin,” adapted from the famous stage play by Booth Tarking- ton and Julian Street, is a thorough- ly entertaining photoplay, as can be attested to by any of those who will see it at the Rex theatre Thursday and Friday, where it is the feature attraction this week. Elaine Ham- merstein is the star, and to her natural charm and capable work is due much of the appeal of this Selz- nick picture. She is seen as Nancy Price, a cap- able young American girl who man- ages a farm. Nancy's wholesome simplicity is accentuated as personi- fied on the scregn by Miss Hammer- stein, and that appeal is heightened when the country girl becomes the pivot around which turn the work- ing of a group of “fashionable” near relatives and their friends. Nancy is instrumental \n opening the eyes of her young-girl cousin after the latter inherits a fortune and takes up life in a handsome villa. - A charming love story runs through, the plot. NEW STYLE PAWNBROKER. A band new kind of pawnbroker appears in Marguerite Clark’s Para- mount-Arteraft picture, “Luck in Pawn,” to again be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and tomorrow. Generally such a character is repre- sented on the stage and screen as a grasping. selfish - person without a heart who takes advantage of inno- cent people. Marvin Taylor, who wrote “Luck in Pawn,” is convinced that there are kind-hearted pawn- brokers as well as hard-hearted ones. With the idea of vindicating in some degree the much maligned profession, he portrayed Armsberg, the pawn- broker character in the picture, as a sympathetic individual who helps the heroine, played by Miss Clark, out when she is pressed for funds and even stakes her in her attempt to shine at a fashionable ball given by her millionaire admirer. The part of Armsberg is played by John Step- early for there will be shown a film of Charlie Chaplin that never betfore showed in Bemidji. “THE PERFECT LOVER. Did you ever hear of a perfect lover—a man who always knows just when to kiss you, just when to pet you, when to hold your hand, when to hold you tight, when to sympa- thize with you and when to laugh PREVENTION IS B CURE FOR SAVPIB Every Possible Effort Is Being Made in Affected Localities to Stop Further Spread of Disease. OUNCE OF PREVENTION WORTH POUND OF CURE Persons Who Catch Colds Easily and Who Are In Run- down Condition in Greatest Danger. Influenza continues to spread; and the disease is now prevalent over many sections of the country. It has baffled the medical skill to an unusual extent, and although it has been held in check in most local- ities it has’ gotten beyond control in others. The germ has eluded bacteri- ologists, and medical men now agree that the best cure is prevention. The surest prevention is to build up the bodily powers of resistance, and to get the system into the best physical condition possible. It is now universally agreed that it is pos- sible to perfect the powers of resist- ance of the human system so thatf it can throw off almost any infection, not excepting Influenza, It has been observed that persons who are weak and run-down are more susceptible to the disease than per- sons whp are in robust health, and if you are In a generally run-down con- dition and below normal weight this EST INFLUENZA LIC AUTHORITIES warning should be heeded promptly. If yoy are in this condition nothing on earth will build you up and strengthen you like Tanlac, which contains the most powerful tonic properties known to science. As a reconstructive tonic and system build- er it is without an equal and con- tains the very elements needed by the system to give you fighting strength to ward off disease germs. This is a statement of fact and is sup- ported by the recognized authorities and reference work including the U. S. Dispensatory, the Encylopedia Britanica, and also by standard text books used in the schools of medicine. This statement is further proven by the fact that millions of persons who have actually taken Tanlac have testi- fied to its extraordinary merit as a medicine and by the fact Tanlac is today having the largest sale of any tonic onethe American market, Tanlac is also an ideal strengthen- ing tonic for persons who are suffer- ing from the after-effects of colds, influenza, ordinary Grippe, and bron- chial troubles, and hundreds of thou- sands are using it daily with most gratifying results. In connection with the Tanlac treatment it is very important to keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples of which are enclosed with every bottle of Tanlac. .Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, in Baudette by J. Williams, in Thorhult by P. M. Swanson, in Spooner by J. Weeks Hardware Co. ' $5500 BONDS News has reached us of three big fires on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, which are of particular interest to buyers of all steel safes. On Christmas Day in Detroit, the Cad ii;s biggest fire since 1904 and an Under- writers’ Model Safe made by The General Fireproofing Co. of Youngstown, Ohio, came through this $500,000 fire with its precious contents (including $5,500 in Lib- erty Bonds) intact. On Christmas Day in Detroit, the Cadiillac Motor Car Co. had a fire of approx- imately $100,000 destruction. In the very heart of this fire stood a battery of Vertical Files made by the same company, containing valuable records and papers. The intense heat of the fire completely JEMIDJL ing, the papers were legible and the records were intact. melted off the drawer pulls and label holders. Upon open- On New Years Day, Tampa, Florida, witnessed a fire that for a time threatened to destroy the entire city. The blaze Was not conquered until over $400,000 in property was destroyed. In that fire a Vertical File also made by this company, came through with papers preserved while ordinary’ iron safes failed to pass the test, and in which the contents were destroyed. Such news as this has its object lesson. This week the mi;ld of the nation is being instructed in Thrift, Conservation and economy. It is an obvious fact that office equipment such as passed through thesethree fires, points the way to any business man who wishes to practice thrift in his business. ‘All steel safes and filing cabinets are sold in this territory exclusively by the _Bemidji Pioneer Stationery House MINNESOTA
