One More Reason Why Pens
Are a Healthful Food
One noted writer on food values says: "Every
time we eat peas we eat the "bran" of the
pea and it is well that we eat these things,
because while they are not digested in them
selves, they surrender to the Dody the inval
uable mineral salts which they contain."

SPARK THAT FIRED EUROPE
The Cause of the European War Is
Wrongly Attributed to Stu
dent's Act
Likp a spark dropped into gunpow
der. Europe blazed when the Austrian
heir fell before the Servian student'!'
bullet, yet withal that did not cause
the war.
The terrible struggle involving the
destruction of the fairest of Europe's
manhood has deeper underlying causes
—the shot was merely one of the many
• chips fallen from the belligerent shoul
ders of the envious hviropean govern
ments. *
■ . Few are those who really understand
the meaning of border lines in Europe,
the jealousies over towns and hamlets,
strips of land, small waterways and
Other affairs of geographical nature.

APPLE BEST SHADE TREES
State Surface Makes Sugges
tion to Cambria County Citizen
A popular-spirited citizen in Portage,
Cambria county, wrote to State Zoolo
gist H. A. Surface, saying that he in
tended -to plant shade trees in the va
cant lots in the borough so that the chil
dren would have shade in their play
grounds, and asked what varieties he
s'hou'ld plant. In accordance with the
practical suggestions offered 'bv Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in his Arbor Day mes
sage, Professor Surface replied that
the best possible trees for the purpose
would 'be different varieties of apple
trees, He snid these would be beautiful,
make shade, and at the same time pro
duce fruit. As thero were two hundred
trees to be planted he recommended a
list that would ripen fruit in succession,
including ten different varieties, and
twenty trees of each kind. This list was
as follows:
Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest,
Sweet Bough, Summer Kambo. Duchess,
Delicious, Tolman Sweet, Winter Sweet
Paradise, 'Grimes Golden and Stayman
Winesap.
The members of the School Board at
Portage at once took up the subject
with the correspondent, and the trees
were ordered and paid for by the gentle
man who had opened the correspond
ence. Plans are completed for a public
demonstration of planting and pruning
and indeed for a close co-operation of
the teachers, parents and pupils and the
Department of Agriculture, represented
'by the Division of Zoology in all the
demonstration and practical work neces
sary for the proper growth of these
trees. This develops the proper spirit
and attitude toward Nature, nature
study and agriculture, as the children
will have an opportunity to see the
fruit grow, and gather it and use it
without trespass signs forbidding their
enjoyment of these natural productions.
A great number of sweet varieties of
apples was included in t'he list, as these
especiallv will feed the birds as well
as tile children. These trees are being
grown for public service, and thousands
of persons will bo interested in this
venture, which is the beginning of the
practical utility o>f fruit trees for shade
and ornamental purposes as well as for
I fruits.

Sanderson, Brian, Cawthorn
Donald! Brian looks a? if life was
all beer and skittles, as he nimbly
dances his inimitable numbers in the
same company, but he, likewise, can
tell a tale of hardships and efforts that
seemed unavailing. He could relate that
he answered the strident call of
"cash" in a Boston department store
as a boy, but that he found time to
sing in the famous Boy Choir of the
Gate of Heaven church, and thus se
cured valuable vocal training. He re
members well his first theatrical experi
ence as one of the Boston City Quartet,
and later how he acte'd' valiantly in a
piece called "Shannon of tho Sixth"
until it found its way to the store

Gillette, Bates, DOTO
" Diplomacy " is unquestionably one
of the most fascinating dramas ever
staged. Of the original cant present
ing Sardou's "Diplomacy" in this
country at Wallack's Theatre, New
York, in 1878, the only player now
actively before the public is Rose Cogh
lan, who was the first American actress
to essay the role of the Countess
Zicka. In Charles Frohman 'a present
revival of the famous id'ramn Blanche
Bates appears as Countess Zicka and
needless to say gives a brilliant and
finished impersonation. Her co-stars,
William Gillette and Marie Doro, play
ing Henri Beauderc and Dora re
spectively, are likewise admirably suit
ed with striking parts of equal im
portance. The tri-star alliance was one

"The Outcast" at the Victoria To-day
To-day is Mutual Masterpiece day
at the \ ictoria and we present for tho
first time in this city "The
a powerful four-part' production. Thi?"
great feature was taken from the story
written by that great American writer
and Ambassador to Italy, Thomas Nel
son Page. It is a play of excitement
and thrill—humor and pathos—that
strikes every note in the scale of hu
man emotions. The heroine is a girl
of the slums—by environment—but
she finally comes into her own and real
izes her dream of a life in the open
far away from the city's streets. There
is a wonderful court room scene in
which "The Outcast" is on trial for
murder and is saved from the severity
of a hard-hearted Judge, who turns out
to be her father. There is also a true
to-life cabaret scene, in which the hero
ine plays the part of a dancing girl.

Marie Doro at the Regent
Marie Doro, the Duncannon girl,
who is making her first appearance
in tho "movies," in "The Morals of
Marcus," made a wowdterful impres
sion in a production of the master
piece at the Regent tiheatre last even
ing. The great feature, shown in five
reels, will be repeated to-day. In ad
dition to the big production, "Miser's
Legacy," Biograph drama, "Aunt
Mary," Selig drama, "Mr. Jarr Takes
a Night Off," Vitagraph comedy, will
be shown. To-morrow and Thursday a
drama of romantic youth, "Young Ro
mance," with Kdith Taliaferro, will be
the attraction.
To-day will.be the last time that the
big Marie Doro picture will be shown
in this city.. It is a Paramount fea
ture and cannot be shown in any other
theatre. Miss Doro is well known here
and has appeared in some famous plays
here' as the star. Although "The Mor
als of Marcus" is her first adventure
on the screen her artistic acting is not
lacking and she give's every indication
of having been in the moving picture
world for years.—Adv. "
Songbirds at Colonial
A'l White's Six Songbirds began a
three-day engagement at the Colonial
theatre yesterday and scored an imme
diate hit. These are six juvenile per
formers, three boys and three girls, and
all of them singers with voices that
compel their audiences to call them
ba<*k and back. It is a long time since
any act has gone as well as Phis one did
at yesterday's performances. There are
three other acts on the bill also, round
ing out an interesting show. To-morrow
and Thursday the Colonial will present
a moving picture of the ill-fated l/usi
tania starting out from New York on its
final voyage across the Atlantic. This
picture was made as result of the
rumors and warnings afloat before its
departure that danger lurked in its
course. The film is of exceptional in
terest because it Shows the passengers
going alboard, none of them fearing the
fate that was meted out to t'hem before
they reached the other side. Many of
those who have been reported lost can
'be seen in the picture.—Adv.*
