DAVIS THEATRE Friday and Saturday attractive phot-play artist, supported by an all star cast, including Harry Pollard and Joseph Singeleton; the chief scenes of this wonderful pho- to-play are in the South Seas and there are many thrilling situations, including the burning of a ' great ship in the open ocean. “The Quest” brings to -the screen a photo-play which, for sheer heauty, the theme and setting is without a rival in the his- tory of rthotion pictures. It is a ro- mance, thrilling, tender, fanciful and so inspiring. that none can see - it without being bettered by it. Mar- garita Fischer is seen at her best in this feature. Other photo-plays on this bill .are The Hired Girl, a pleas- ing rural drama. by the Majestic com- pany, featuring Teddy Sampson. with Joseph Belmorit, Cora Drew and a splendid -cast -of Majestic favorites, the abused servant girl in this pic- ture, like Cinderella, comes into her own. The comedy is called , They Ran For Mayor- and it is one of the fun- niest pictures. ever shown. You will laugh for fifteen minutes at this one. The vaudeville attraction is the Bot- tomly Troupe, four men who present a sensational comedy gyvmnastic speci- alty doing many daring feats in mid- air. This is another big time Keith act which have become so popular at WOMEN CAN HARDLY BELIEVE How Mrs. Hurley Was Re. stored to Health by L; E.Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Eldon, Mo. — “I was troubled with fii.pheemout. inflammration and female weakness. For two years I could not on my feet long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without en- increased every month. Ihavebeen at that time purple in the face and would ‘walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day-and a night at a time. I wasnervous, and had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world. After I had tried most every female remedy without suc- cess, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in strength every day. I have now no trou- ble in any way and kighly pmse your medicine. It advertises itself.”” 8. T. HURLEY, Eldon, Missouri. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydh E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

Paramount Pictures at the Auditor- ium. Starting next Monday, July 26, with the matinee, Paramount pictures con- ceded by all to be the best pictures shown in America and featuring on- 1y the best known theatrical stars, will be the attraction at this theatre for several weeks. The most prominent motion picture men in the country are back of the Paramount concern, and any amount of money is spent by them to get the best performances and obtain. the best results possible. All the pictures are from four to six reels in length and are as much dif- ferent from other motion pictures as night is from day. Some of the stars ‘who will be featured in these pictures during the next few weeks will be Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Dustin Farnum, John _ Barrymore Fritzi Scheff, Elsie Janis, Hazel Dawn, Gaby Delise, Lois Weber, Blanche Sweet and many others. These stars are always surround=d with excellent casts and the photplays are presented in wonderful detail. Other reels will be shown also and there will be an entire change of show on every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday with a new Paramount feature with each change. There will be the usual three shows daily and the usual admission prices will prevail. Train Deaths Drop. Reports made to the Interstate Com- merce Commission by the steam rail- ways of the country pursuant to law covering the quarter ending March 31, shows that sixty-five persons -were killed and 1972 injured in train acci- dents for the quarter. Compared with the same period .the preceding year this was a decrease of nearly 100 per cent in the fatalities and of more than 5 per cent in the accidents reporting simply injuries. ‘There 'was also a considerable de- crease in the number of other aceci- dents, including those of employees engaged in railway work and to em- ployees engaged in other work than the operation of trains, classed as “in- dustrial accidents.” There were fewer railway accidents in the first quarter of the present year than for the corresponding period of last year. Altogether the report 8 an excellent showing for the railways, proving that railway travel is becoming safer every year. The report shows that 74.8 per cent of the derailments were due, the mission finds, to defective roadway and defective equipment. - Of the acci- dents due to defectiVe roadway, about 1.2 per cent2 were caused by broken rails, and of the derailments due to defective equipment, 28 per cent were caused by defective or broken wheels. Why, We Christen Boats. The modern custom of christening vessels is without doubt an adapta- tion of an ancient custom, just as so many of our other customs and hab its have been adapted from ancient ones. The ancients used to place the image of a titular deity at the stern of their vessels, In the tutela, or shrine.
