PI.AYS AND PLAYERS
The success which Maclyn Arbuckle j
has been making on the screeii and
stage. particularly in the production
of the comedy "The New Henrietta."
which appeared in Harrisburg last f
week and created such a favorable
impression. Is probably sufficient
guarantee against his ever returning
to his former profession, that of the
law. Twenty-eight years ago young
Arbuckle. an embryo lawyer, ran for
the office of Justice of the peace down
in Howie county. Texas, and was de
feated by a butcher, who promised his
constituents fat meat and lots of credit,
while all Arbuckle could offer was ju»- j
; tice.
j Charles Kent, sometimes called "the
dean of the screen," tried to die the
other clay In a Blue Ribbon feature, as ,
he has done so many times before, but
the position which he assumed, draped
gracefully over the back of a chair, i
gave him a splitting headache, and now
i lie has determined that any time he j
must die he wants to know about it
well ahead of time, in order that com- j
fortable dying quarters might be ar- ;
| ranged.

It has been suggested that a medal
be instituted for heroism In the films, i
If this ever comes to pass, there will

Libretto of the Opera to Be Witnessed Is Indispensable
The San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany will produce "Faust" at the
Chestnut Street Auditorium this after
noon and will close their two-day en
gagement in this city with "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and "Pagliacci" this even
ing. Following are digests of the
librettos of the two operas:
"CAVALI.KRIA RUSTICANA"
A melodrama in one act, by G. Tar
gioni-Tozzetti and G. Menasci, with
music by Pietro Mascagni. The cur
tain rises on Kaster festivities of the
peasants. Turiddu, son of Dame Lucia,
keeper of the village inn, having re
turned home from service in the army,
soon becomes the favorite of all the
village maidens, among whom is San
tuzza. who is the chosen one. and who
is soon betrayed by Turiddu. Pre
vious to his joining the army Turiddu
had courted the pretty Lola, the vil
lage belle, but on his return finds her
wedded to Alflo, the carrier.
When Turiddu meets Lola they are
reconciled, and he neglects Santuzza,
while Lola is faithless to her husband.
Santuzza. distracted with being aban
doned. tells Alfio of the intrigue of the
guiltv pair. He challenges Turiddu to
mortal combat, who unwillingly ac
cepts the defl, and is killed.
"PAGLIACCI"
A dramatic opera in two acts;
libretto and music both by Ruggiero
Leoncavallo. The scene is Jaid in
Calabria, between 1865 and 1870.
THEY REFUSE TO EAT
At periods in most childrens' lives
they fail to relish their meals and refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am
bition, and growth seems impeded,
which causes anxiety and worry.
To compel them to eat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun
shine is important, but equally import
ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion
three times a day to feed the tissues
and furnish food-energy to improve
tbeir blood, aid nutrition and sharpen
their appetites.
The highly concentrated medicinal
food in Scott's Kmulsion supplies the
very elements children need to build up
their strength. They relish Scott's —it is

subtlety of this remark passed over the
heads of the townspeople as they
couldn't figure out what would become
of the other half of the dog. if Wilson
killed his half. This remark, his eccen
tric speech and his habit of securing
thumb-prints from everyone with whom
. he came in contact. Induced one of the
town wits to call him "Pudd'nhead Wil
son." a nickname that remained with
him throughout ills life. With his small
glass slips, he secures, among others.

six months, and at the same time, the

Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
(Copyright. 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.)
The Artificial or Experimental Product
Frustration. Interference With the
ing Up of the Natural Forces Whi
inais to Resist Disease Can Be Br

"All the recent work done in the |
biochemical laboratories of the Liver
pool School of Tropical Medicine j
proves beyond question that in all ce
reals, such as wheat, barley, oats and
rice, there are series of important
substances incorporated in the inner I
layer of the husk which are essential
to the nutritive value of th grain."
These are the words of Dr. Benjamin
Moore, chief of the bio-chemical de
partment of that institution.
"If these elements are eliminated |
in the milling- or preparation of the
grain, a diet largely composed of ce- |
reals or bread thus denatured will not j
only fail adequately to nourish the |
body but will tend to set up active j
disease.
"Certain of the diseases of malnu
trition among children, notably rick
ets, sourvy-riekets, tetany and con
vulsions, present symptoms very sim
ilar to those we note in our white
bread pigeons. So striking is this sim
ilarity that hpsyicians who have fol
lowed up our work are already treat
ing certain of their malnutrition pa
tients with a diet of whole wheat
bread.
"Our nerves as a nation are much
less stable than in the days prior to
white bread diet. All our work sug
gests that the growing tendency of
the age to neurasthenia, 'nerves,' etc.,
is not unlikely due to removing from
our diet those very elements of cereal
food which nature has hid in the
husk of the grain, and which man
in his ignorance discards."
A special meeting of the British As
sociation and the Health Congress of
the Royal Institute of Public Health
was called at Portsmouth to consider
the results of the work done by Hop
kins, Eddie, Simpson, and Moore. lit
tle has come of this work for the
reasons that the discussions usually
take the form of ponderous scientific
data and the people learn nothing of
them.
Prior to the Investigations of these
British scientists an extensive re
search into the same subject had been
conducted in France. Armand Gau
tier, internationally eminent, had ex
plored the entire field of nutrition, in
spiring numerous other French scien
tists to undertake work of similar na
ture.
All of them have arrived at one
conclusion, which is briefly this. Man
has lost the instinct of nourishing
himself. The lower animals, when left
to themselves, have an innate knowl
edge of the proper food, but it is
necessary that mankind be instructed
in a certain amount of scientific knowl
edge in other that a health-sustain
ing and disease-resisting diet may be
selected.
Just one week before the grim day
in which France became involved in
the conflagration that spread over the
nations of Europe in 1914, a little
group of French scientists, inspired
solely by good will toward man, and
with no thought of the calamity which
was so shortly to overtake the world,
gave to humanity the results of their
experimental research into the dan
gers of feeding with refined cereals.
Their conclusions were published in
the Paris Medical, July 25, 1914. Born
as they were in the agonies of a
regin of destruction and death they
possess peculiar significance to the
people of the United States, who, a
few weeks later, were advised by
various uplift committees, seeking to
solve the problem of war prices, to
turn away from wheat and wheat
flour and consume rice, rye, barley,
corn, and oats instead.

Their conclusions, literally trans

Ever since the discovery of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, In 1775,
and the bad effect it had upon the
body, scientists and physicians have
striven to rid the tissues and the blood
of this poison. Becayse of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu
matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys

potent than lithia, and consequently
you need no longer fear muscular or
articular rheumatism or gout, or
many other diseases which are de
pendent on an accumulation of uric

MEAT INSPECTION
VERY EFFICIENT
State Has Secured Protection
of Meats in Thousands of
Stores Lately
According to reports made by in
spectors the efforts of fhe State I-.lvo
Stock Sanitary Board have resulted in
about two thousand meat markets
throughout the State being equipped
in such a manner that the meat and
food products cannot be handled or
touched and so arranged that the
meats will not be exposed to insects,
dust and dirt.
Recently the agents of the Board
began operations in Philadelphia
which will mean that 10,000 meat es
tablishments in that city nlone must
be equipped to comply with the new
State Meat Hygiene Law. This is a
State-wide movement and means that
the long arm of the State will reach
every city, town and rural district with
the result that every establishment,
selling meat, and food products will
be equipped in such a manner that
the meat food products cannot be
bandied or be exposed to dust and
files.
Pennsylvania meat inspection was
first inaugurated in 1907. The good
effects of this Jleat Hygiene Law wero
soon apparent and broader legislation a
was secured last year when the new
State Meat Hygiene Law was passed.
What the law provides among its most,
important features are the following:
Fifst, That any agent, of the Slate
Livestock Sanitary Board may do meat
hygiene work, instead of ten special
agents as previously provided.
Second, Swine cannot be fed offal
or slaughter refuse within two hun
dred feet of an establishment. This
has been one of the conditions exist
ing at a majority of the rural slaugh
ter houses over which the Board had
little, or no control and it was found
impossible to keep an establishment
and surroundings in a sanitary condi
tion where- hogs were fed offal and
, refuse adjacent to the slaughterhouse.
Third, It is a misdemeanor to placci
on the market meat from hogs which
have been fed dead animals or car
rion.
Fourth. The new law makes It man
datory upon the butcher to prevent
prospective purchasers and all unau
thorized persons from touching of
handling meat food products, and to
equip his establishment that the meat
and meat food products will be pro
tected from insects.
In addition to the above features,
the new Meat Hygiene Law covers
such matters as sanitation, sale of dis
eased and unwholesome meat, ap
pointment of agents, defining their
duties, and provides for the adoption
,of rules and regulations to conform
' with the law.
acid within the body. Send to Dr.
Pierce of the Invalids" Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for
a pamphlet on "Anuric," and send 10
cents for a trial package of "Anuric"
Tablets.
If you feel that tired, worn-out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or il
your sleep is disturbed by too frequent
urination, go to your best drug sloia
and ask for Doctor Pierce's Anuriu
Tablets.
Doctor Pierce's reputation is bacU
of this medicine and you know thai
his "Pleasant Pellets" for the livei
and his "Favorite Prescription" for
the Ills of women have had a splen
did reputation for the past fifty years,
