DITTMANN THEATRE.
“The Microbe” the latest Metro
production starring Viola Dana will
be the feature at the Dittmann thea-
tre.
This picture was adapted from the
popular story of teh same name by
Henry Altimus published in Ainslee’s
Magazine and is the dramatic and
heart-appeuling story of The Mi-
crobe a girl of the New York slums
who is rescued from her unsavory
surroundings by a young author in
search of local color.
Her quick wit and winsome per-
sonality coupled with the ease with
which she acquires polish and refine-
ment in her new environment quick-
ens his interest in her— an interest
w hich soon develops into something
deeper. In fact Do Witt finds him-
self fast falling in love with his pro-
tege.
This state of affairs is also evident
to Judith Winthrop a young widow
whose matrimonial designs center in
the author. Jealousy leads her to
treachery and deceit and the Microbe
is forced to leave the home she has
grown to love.
Startling events follow in rapid suc-
cession—each one more amazing than
the last until a tremendous climax
lays bare the treachery which has em-
bittered the life of the birl wlut at
love.
AT THE QUEEN.
“Auction of Souls” the sensation-
al screen story of Aurora Murdigan-
ian the only survivor of half a million
young Armenian girls persecuted by
the Turks when they ravished her
country and which is to be presented
at the Queen theatre next Monday
hits its opening scenes laid in the fore-
bodying shadows of Mt. Ararat
which linked with some of the most
ancient of human history. It was
in the shadow of this picturesque
peak that Aurora Mardiganian lived
with her parents and a sister ami a
brother all now dead in 1915.
I* Place Where Ark Went Ag round.
Mt. Aarart which is more than
16000 feet high was the mountain
on which the Bible says the ark rest-
ed as the Deluge dropped and those
in Noah’s boat • returned to ground.
!n latter days the Assyrians were am-
bitious to add it to their domains
and it was the scene of many battles.
In modem times it has been the
jjoining point of the lines of Persia
Turkey and Russian terriotry. Fre-
quently it has been the scene of earth-
quake end hundreds have been kill-
' ed by such disturbances.
i The land lying in the region about
| Mt. Ararat is unusually fertile and
therein has been the source of the
persecution of the Armenians. In-
dustrious and inclined to accumulate
they have constantly been tormented
ri bbed and ravished by the indolent
1 and unprincipled Turks.
Persecution Greatest In 1915
This persecution reat hes its height
in the atrocities of 1915 which are
pictured in “Auction of Souls.” Based
on the story of Aurora Martiiceman
this detailed protrayai of Turkish
heart iessness follows closely the re-
port of Viscount Bryce the eminent
Englishman who was made head of
the commission which are appointed
atr.on*r the Allies to investigate the
Turkish treatment of the Armenians.
Every detail of how this little trirl’s
father mother sisters and brothers
with two million other Christian Ar-
menians were made to suffer before
they died is shown in such a way a;
to make American*! fee! (he true char-
acter of the Turk ever Christianity's

WANTS HARD SURFACE
ROADWAY FROM VALLEY
CLEAR TO SAN ANTONIO
Jesse Dennett of the Dennett
Motor Sales Company who is an en-
thusiastic booster of improved high-
ways. has been attending the meet-
I ing of the San Antonio Automobile
Trades Association at San Antonio
! and incidentally working hard for*
road improvement between San An-
tonio and Brownsville. The San An-
i tor.io Express quotes Mr Dennett as
follows: ■
“Build a highway to the Rio
: Grande to connect with the 2000-
! mile road that will be constructed
along the Mexican border from
I Brownsville to California.”
I “The pe< pk* of San An: io are
| not fully alive to the possibilities of
th'* country in the Rio Grande Valley
Sard a hard surface road—concrete if
possible—would do more than any
I other one thing to aid in the develop-
ment of this city as a commercial
center and permanently turn the
greater portion of the trade of the
I Valley to San Antonio.”
The speaker pointed out that the
| construction of the proposed road
by the government will bring thous-
ands of tourists to the southwest an-
nually that they will either come or
go overland by way of San Antonio

Now Is a Good Time
To Drive Out Catarrh
* he trouble Is ?n the Blood.
Summer catarrh with its nause-*

difficult breathing and summer
colds is bad enough but the worst
of it is yet to come if you mgicit
to check the growth that is form-
ing tc attack you with ten-fold
treater power during the winter.
That’s why it is so important to
treat catarrh with S. S. S. during
warm weather.
i
Jt is now an established fact
that catarrh is in the Mood and
that lotions and salves do not £lve
relief. The experience of others
has proven that S. S. S. strikes at
the root of the trouble. Waste nc
time in this matter for it is of the
utmost importance. Write to our

THIN PEOPLE
SHOED TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Brito-Phoaphate
to Put on Firm Health Flesh and
to Increase Strength Vigor
and Nerve Forca.
Judging from the countless prepa-
rations and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy de-
veloping arms neck and bust and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by
the soft curved lines of health and
beauty there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain-
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as
brito-phosphate which is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists un-
der a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphoric
'food elements bitro-phosphate should
produce a welcome transformation in
the appearance; the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness sleeplessness
and lack of energy which nearly al-
ways accompany excessive thinness
should soon disappear dull eyes
ought to brighten and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect health.
. .CAUTION:—Although bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness sleeplessness and general
weakness it should not owing to its
tendency to increase weight be used
by anyone who does not desire to put
on flesh. Adv.

Meats in Storage
Not “Hoarded”
Livestock is a seasonal crop—like cereals and grains.
It is ripe” and is marketed in larger quantities in
certain months. This causes a natural oversupply at
one time and a natural shortage at another.
During the time of oversupply Swift Sc Company
places some of the meat in cold storage against the
season of short production.
This is a necessity in order that the nation’s ration
of meat 58000000 pounds every day in the year-
may be forthcoming as the consumer requires it.
This is not hoarding not price manipulation not
market control. It is mere common sense.
United States Bureau of Markets* figures of stocks
of frozen and cured meats July 1 are being used as a
basis for Department of Justice investigations in many
cities. When properly analyzed based on Swift &
CompanyV stocks these figures show:
62 per cent (approximate) is pork * nd beef cuts etc.
cured and in process of curing. I. takes 30 to 90
days in pickle or salt to complete the curing process.
12 per cent is frozen pork of which more than three-
quarters is to be cured in the next few months.
7 per cent is lard. This is a normal supply and only
four-fifths of a pound per capita and much of it
will have to go to supply European needs.
19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb and miscellaneous
meats part of which is owned by the Government
and was intended chiefly for overseas shipment. If
this were all diverted to domestic trade channels it
would be only 2V£ lbs. per capita a 5 davs’supply.
100 %
From this it will be seen that “meats in storage”
represent unfinished goods in process of curing
and the working supply necessary to assure the
consumer a steady flow of finished product.
