SCENE FROM “THE PULSE OF LIFE,” BLUEBIRD FEATURE AT THE
DIXIE NO. 1 TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
“Every spring my three-year-old
son’s scalp would be inflamed with
water blisters which turned to sore
eruptions. I tried everything I could
get but nothing did any good. His
scalp was awfully sore, and fiery red,
and the eruptions itched very badly.
He was fretful both night and day, and
he could not sleep. His head was dis-
figured and his hair fell out.
“Then I wrote for a free sample of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. It did so
• much good that I bought a fifty-cent
box of Cuticura Ointment and a twenty-
five-cent cake of Cuticura Soap, and
now his scalp is healed.” (Signed) A.
J. Taylor, R. 1, Box 7, Seale, Ala.

grant super - creamy emollients for

Maybe you have nearly worn out
body and patience trying to secure
satisfactory weight, reduction by fol-
lowing drastic rules requiring starva-
tion dieting or tiresome, troublesome
exercises, or drugging.
Even so, you should not lose hope
and imagine that you must carry
'through life a load of burdensome, un-
healthy flesh. Here’s a very simple,
easy-to-follow system of treatment
that is said to bring truly remarkable
results for others, and it will be easy
to prove what it can d6 for you.
Go to your druggist and get a small
box of oil of korein capsules. Take one
capsule after each meal and one before
retiring at night; also follow the other
simple directions that come with the
capsules.
This method should reduce your
weight ten to sixty pounds (or what-
ever you wish) in a short time and
leave your general health and figure
greatly improved.
You will be amazed at the improve-
ment in your mind as well as your body
when you have begun to reduce your
weight.
Oil -of korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take, and this treatment
I is surely worthy of a fair trial if you
want to become thinner, healthier and
I younger in appearance..— (Adv.)

Not One-Half of Companies Have
Their Franchise Taxes.
By Associated Press. /
Austin, April 7.—It was announced
today by the secretary’of state that
not one-half of the 12,000 foreign and
domestic corporations doing business
in Texas have as yet paid their fran-
chise taxes which must be daid on or
before May 1, next, in order to. avoid
the payment of a penalty of 25per cent
on, the amount of the tax due. The
state department collects annually from
these corporations approximately $500,-
000. Of the twelve thousand corpora-
tions doing business in Texas, there are
3,800 that are from out of the state.
who’are seen in each of these seven
stories, and whose lives are typical of

picture abounds in action, plot and

exciting.kind, and comes to a climax
that is full of power and fully con-
vincing.

San Antonio, Tex., April 7.-—Gen.
Pershing announced today that Ger-
mans in the Southern department “who
go about their accustomed business” will
not be molested by military authori-
ties. Reports received at department
headquarters show the border situation
to be quiet. According to Gen. Persh-
ing advices from border points indi-
cate that Germans are not displaying
hostile activity in the section. Mobi-
lization of the Texas national guard

New York, April 7.—The stirring de-
velopments of this week, of which the
outstanding features were the presi-
dent’s address to congress and that
body’s adoption of a war resolution
against Germany, engaged the atten-
tion of the financial community to the
exclusion of all other considerations.
Wall street manifested its unqualified
approval and support, but this did not
prevent a general though moderate de-
preciation of prices.
Leading issues fell from 3 to 7
points below their maximums of the
previous week. Railroad shares also
lost ground on steady offerings, not all
of which were attributed to profes-
sional interests.
The proposed federal policy of tax-
ation was employed as a means to de-
press war stocks and kindred issues on
the theory that corporations engaged
in the manufacture of war products
will have to contribute heavily to the
national revenues. Money hardened
only slightly, but firmer tendencies are
probably in the near future.
Questions of domestic and interna-
tional financing, the latter along the
lines suggested by the president to
congress, will soon become the chief
concern of America’s foremost banking
interest. As yet, in the absence of
definite word from the treasury de-
partment, financiers have adopted an
attitude of “preparedness.”
Domestic agricultural advices of the
week were again unfavorable, a condi-
tion which is bound to assume in-
creasing importance in view’ of the se-
rious deficiency ' reported in the
world’s food crops.

Vaudeville at Grand.
Of the Majestic vaudeville coming to
the Grand opera house, Sunday and
Monday matinees and nights, April 8th
and 9th, the Houston Chronicle of Mon-
day, April 2d, says: .
Louise Dyer is back, and with her
is Allan Dinehart; two of the most
gifted actors in vaudeville. They en-
tertain with pure dramatic ability and
it is the sweet sincerity of Miss Dyer
that makes her work so fetching. She
has the infinite art of artlessness and
is certain to win a position in the
firmament of the stage celebrities of
this country. Mr. Dinehart is a fin-
ished actor. This is their second visit
this season and they were given an
ovation Sunday night.
Analytically Bert Fitzgibbons has
nothing, theoretically he is a failure,
but practically he is a wonder, and no
one knows why. He stopped the show
Sunday night with his inane oddities;
he poached on the time of the act that
followed fully 15 minutes. The audi-
ence wouldn’t let him go and he stood
out and served all he had. With him
this season is his accomplished little
wife. She sang from a box in a most
entertaining way. ■
Frank Crumit, ukulele and guitar
artist, starred heavily. He has nothing
much in the way of a voice as far as
compass and range go, but his notes
are sweet and musical and he sings tne
old songs in a manner almost irresisti-
ble. His dialect stories are just about
old enough to play in vaudeville.
Dorothy Toye, double-voiced grand
opera singer, won prolonged applause
with her clever rendition, of the classic.
She was accompanied by Arthur An-
derson, an artist himself.
Martin and Fabbrini have a novelty
dancing act that is great. Both are
wonderfully graceful and introduce a
number of new and nifty figures. The
fox trot de regueur was the best of
their offering.
(’Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilde have a
novel number in shadowgraphy that
made a distinct hit Sunday night. Mr.
Wilde does some marvelous work with
his hands, making portraits of Wash-
ington and Wilson that were readily
recognized. His shadow picture of two
monkeys was the comedy feature of
the entertainment. The work is ex-
ceptionally clever.
Thompson’s terriers close the show.
The dogs are well trained and do a
number of new tricks.

Prospect of War and Crop Condition
Sends Prices Aviating.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, April 7.—War and a pros-
pect that the gbvernment crop report
would indicate winter wheat was at the
lowest April condition in the history of
the country, rushed wheat values in,
the last week far above previous top
records. Excitement at times was at
a high pitch with trade expanding to
immense proportions. Compared to a
week ago, advances range from 9% to
19c a bushel. Corn gained 8%c to 10 %c
oats 1%c to 1%c to 3%4c, and pro-
visions 47c to $1.15.
Without exception every day wit-
nessed fresh advances in the price of
wheat. Buying attained irresistible
force, especially on Wednesday, when
the market first jumped above $2 for
a future delivery, and on Thursday
when the May option whirled upward
five cents to $2.07.
Possibilities of some form of gov-
ernment control of prices acted more
or less with conservative wheat trad-
ers as a check on bullish enthusiasm.
Corn rose with wheat, notwithstand-
ing assertions that the output of high
wines had been reduced one-half ow-
ing to the upsweep of the corn mar-
ket. Oats also hardened, but were un-
der a somewhat heavy drag on account
of the rapid progress of seeding, and
because of Canadian competition. War
demand decreased warehouse stocks,
and the scarcity of hog arrivals made
a rise in the provision market vir-
tually inevitable.

' Rio Janeiro, April 6.— The captain of
the torpedoed Brazilian steamer Parana
cables that in addition to the killing of
three members of his crew, several
sailors were wounded by the explosion
Of the torpedoes. He says that the
ship was attacked at midnight with-
out warning and denounces the con-
duct of the Germans as barbarous.
A’Noite, in a special edition, pub-
lishes an editorial in. which it says
three solutions present themselves':
First, a simple rupture of diplomatic
relations; second, a rupture followed
by reprisals such as the requisition of
German eships and the adoption of a
sympathetic neutrality with the allies;
third, a declaration of war.
“We consider the first,” continues
the paper, “an insufficient solution.
The second will inevitably conduce to
the third. We have always been
pacifists, but today we do not see how
it is possible to avoid the catastrophe
longer unless we resign ourselves to
be considered as people who, being’
outraged, will not defend itself.”

Helen Stickland, seen in “Pride,” the
second of the “Seven Deadly Sins,”
showing at the Crystal Vaudeville to-
day for the last time, is a young
woman, but like Emma Dunn of the
speaking stage, prefers “mother” roles
to any other. She most effectively
plays the part of the wealthy banker’s
mother whom he will not own, and at
the same time poses as Miss Blanchard,
matron of a fashionable boarding
school for girls.
Holbrook Elinn, the star of “Pride,” is

the part of the relentless financier who
is "able and willing to crush any and

Reports Current That Water Supply
Has Been Poisoned-.
Bv Associated Press.
Dallas, April 7.—Reports that alien
enemies had poisoned the city water
supply spread through Dallas this
morning and caused a rush of tele-
phone calls to the water department.
For a month the city has been using
water from the reserve reservoir at
White Rock. This is unfiltered. Today,
filtered water was again turned into
the mains. The difference in taste
gave rise to the suspicion that poison
had been injected into the supply.

Dixie Theater No. 1.
The Dixie theater No. 1 shows again
today, for the last time, the World fea-
ture entitled “Man’s Woman,” starring
Ethel Clayton. ‛ It is a pretty story,
based upon a young wife’s struggles,
her ups and downs with her husband’s
two rich aunts, wh live in their home,
how the two aunts almost cause a
separation of the young couple, but
with a happy ending, wherein the
young- lady conquers.

Queen Theater.
A vindictive siren of Paris and Monte
Carlo, notorious for her evil charm and
mercenary intrigues, becomes the angel
of the armies of France in “Sweetheart
of the Doomed,” Triangle-Ince play
starring Louise Glaum, which will be
shown at the Queen theater com-
mencing tomorrow.
Already famous for her startling
gowns and her vampire portrayals in
“The Wolf Woman” and “Somewhere
in France,” Miss Glaum surpasses her-
self in the emotiorrlrole’of this drama,
written by Monte Katterjohn and
Jerome N. Wilson. Her spiritual trans-
formation from the woman seeking
vengeance against men for a deception
of her youth to the woman who acri-
fices all creature comforts to perform
humiliating service for the heroes of
France1 is undoubtedly the star’s finest
delineation. Sheathed in glittering jet,
her short, curled hair bound with
strands of pearls, she is a wily adven-
turess in the gambling palace at the
opening of the play. >
By sly manipulation she wins the
affections of Gen. Durand, the uncle of
the man who betrayed her. She gloats
over the prospect or vengeance when
the general announces their engage-
ment. But a young soldier—a frank,
lovable idealist—enters her life, and1
the veneer of cynicism that has covered
her heart and soul is broken. She is
regenerated by love. When the youth
goes to the front she disguises in peas-
ant garb and follows in order to be
near him. Gen. Durand, who has
learned of her past affairs and her fal-
sity/to him, is about to send her back
to Paris, but she pleads for the right
to serve her country.
