salesman who had been one of her
"boys" in tho tronohos, discovers this
follows her hu.lba.nd to a place where
ho is dialing, and sees the vamp hand
the husband the key to her apart

Scene, Marion dctildes to steal the
Tfntp's thunder. She goes to the
vamp's aparlment 'before her husband

GEORGE KNAPP
LOSES AN ARM
Ocorge Knapp, one of the popular
operators of the Jhneau cable of
fice, who went south several months
ago for an operation for a growt h
on his arm, lost his arm according
to a letter received by Dolly Gray.
Knapp went to the Letterman
General Hospital in San Francisco.
Three operations were performed on
his arm, then doctors came to the
ocncluoion that Knapp had sarcoma,
in other words a poisonous cancer
that travels over the system very
rapidly.
The doctors advised, amputation
immediately of the right arm be
tween the elbow and shoulder.
“I agreed,” writes Knapp, “and
the doctors went ahead with the
amputation. Of all the operations
this was the worst of all. I did not
eat a grain of food for eight days
and suffered untold pain. IVly weight
decreased from 208 to 165 pounds
in this short time.
“However, 1 am now sitting up
and expect to be able to get around
soon. The government furnishes me
with an artificial arm which works
almost natural. I hope to be able
to soon return to Juneau and spend
the rest of my life there.”
Knapp wanted to be rememibered
to his legion of friends, especially
those around the Elks' Club saying
he “will be one of the railbirds
within six weeks.”

ed Says Report.
(Continued irom rage One.)
f
Ulio new Board of Christian Educa-f
j tion Ur. Scanlon said that prohibl
iton was an unfinished task. He
jraid it would not ho fully enforced
until we elected officials who had
| courage, inclination and ability to
<io what they wore paid and sworn
to do. "When we have 100 per cent
patriots," declared the speaker, "wej
shall have 100 per cent prohibi-]
j tion."
I Dr. Scanlon said that financially
[the government was nearly $5,000,-]
1 000 ahead of expenses, In fines!
'exacted and property confiscated.]
j He charged that what Spain hadj
| done to Iceland, threatened to boy-i
1 cott the fisheries unless Spanish I
'wines were admitted, was not cam-1
jmcrec but blackmail. He denounced j
j "the aggresivenees, insolence, im-,
j periousnese and practical piracy of
] the liquor brigands just eft our sea
! coast,” and said that the United
! States "should, can and must find
I away to prevent foreign conspirat
ors from doing what she . has for
bidden her awn citizens to do."
Dr. Scanlon reported that 27
j other national religious or welfare]
organizations had joined with tile]
Presbyterian Board in framing a
bill for national censorship of the]
motion picture films, and that the
] fight for national censorship would
be pushed. He attacked the drugj
j menace and urged international ac-|
(t!cn as the only solution. He plead- j
' ed that the church take a stand]
] against tobacco, (minting out that]
j more than two billion dollars were]
| spent on “this unnecessary and!
harmful thing” last year. Science..
e ducation and experience, he said, |
i demonstrated that the tobacco trade]
! was a loss to the church and thei
world.
IF SKIM BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Juet the mdment you apply Men
tho-Sulphur to an Itching, burning
or broken out skin, the itching stops
and healing begins, says a noted
I skin specialist. This sulphur prep
aration, made into a pleasant cold
cream, gives such a quick relief,
even to fiery„ eczema, that nothing
has ever been found to take Its
place.
Because of Its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the Irritation and
] heals/ the eczema right up, leaving
!a clear, amooth skin In place of ugly
eruptions, rash, pimples or rough
ness.
You do not have to wait for im
provement. It quickly shows. You
can get a little jar of Howies Men
tho-Sulphur at any drug store,

FLORIDA’S BIGGEST YEAR: 600,000 RIDE ON EAST COAST ALONE
St Augustine, riorum, opccim.
When Henry M. Flagler first visit
ed 8t Augustine in 1886, the east
coast of Florida as you went south
was probably not very different
from what it had been in Ponce de
Leon’s time. There wen no hotels,
no roads, no railroads, yet he in
vested Arty millions.
Mr. Flagler did not live to see
the fulfillment of his romantic
dream for Florida's future which
he backed with his millions against
the advice of his closest friends in
the financial world. Yet last win
ter the Florida East Coast Railroad,
which he built, carried six hundred
thousand passengers in comfort
and safety, the greatest pilgrimage
in the history of the Land of
Flowers. The gTeat trunk lines
pouring their passengers into this
American Riviera, and the empty
Pullmans returning north, negoti
ated 24,000 miles every time the
world went round. As the East
Coast line Is a single track the
achievement Is regarded as one of
the most notable of the year in
railroading. .
Today in the land developed by
Mr. Flagler you will find more than
a score of finished cities with beau
tiful suburban homes and villas
whoso architecture competes Suc
cessfully with those of the fines!:
suburbs in the large American
cities.
