Pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
worh. The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative powers of Hall's
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Membershin Drive.
Suggestions for special. day feat
ures for every day during the Christ
mas membership drive were received
at Northern Division headquarters
from the national membership drive
committee. Sunday, Dec. 16, it is
suggested, should be Red Cross
church day with Red Cross sermons
preached from every pulpit. Mon
day publication of governor's mes
sages, statements by military leaders
within each district and announce
ments by chapter chairmen, would
be in order. Tuesday should be
civil employes' day with a proclama
tion by the mayor and the raising of
the Red Cross flag over the munici
pal building. Wednesday should be
women's day, Thursday is suggest
ed as school day, with Red Cross
talks by teachers. Friday should be
employes' day, special tribute to the
part played by labor in Red Cross ac
tivities. Saturday will ibe Boy
Scouts' day and the following Mon
day Red Cross ceremonial day with
lighted candles placed behind the
Red Cross services candles in every
window.
Four Mennonite colonies near Hur
on, S. D., turned' over $1,000 to a
committee of merchants of the city.
Because their religious' principles
forbade giving the money to any war
fund the donors asked that the
amount be devoted to charity so that
other money raised for that purpose
might be transferred to the Red
Cross.
At Glasgow, Mont., business men
have taken financial management of
the local Red Cross organization
away from the women that they may
be left free to work for the soldiers.
The men have set about to raise sub
scriptions upon a monthly basis,
every donor agreeing to pay a cer
tain amount monthly, that the Red
Cross of their city may be placed
upon a sound financial basis.
THEATERS
GRAND TONIGHT CT
A member of the United States
secret service is the hero of "The Re-
coil," a five-reel Astra photoplay by
Anthony T. Kelly, featuring William
Courtenay and Lillian Greuze. The
story is melodramatic and moves
along at a lively rate. Much of the
material is familiar, the race to the
governor to save an innocent man
from being electrocuted being used
at the finish.
Grand Tomorrow. timtt_
William Russell's new play, "The
Sea Master," is one of those yarns
that grip the imagination with their
swaggering sailormen, bucko mates,
quick on the rope's end or belaying
pin, and hard-flsted spikkerstheir
seventy-foot yardarms and seething
forecastle conspiracies.
ELKO TONIGHT
George M. Cohan's recipe for a
happy entertainment as presented in
his new Artcraft picture, "Seven
Keys to Baldpate" at the Elko thea
ter, is an ideal prescription for the
most morbid grouch. In his new film
tonic, George M. has mixed with ex
act proportions, mystery, thrills and
laughter, with a sweetening dash of
love as a tribute to Cupid, all of
which will work the desired result
upon men, women and children alike.
Elko Tomorrow.
A killer who reforms and teaches
his own kind a lesson in humanity
is the character assumed by Roy
Stewart in "One Shot" Ross, the
new Triangle drama of the early
southwest. "One Shot" brings law
and order to the hell-roaring settle
ment of Painted Gulch by virtue of
the two fastest guns in that sec
tion of desert country. The pic
ture is one of stirring action.
"THE SPY" AT REX
Patriotism will run rampant at
the Rex theater tonight and tomor
row when Dustin Farnum opens in
a new William Fox production, "The
Spy."
"The Spy" is an expose of German
methods of espionage in the United
States. It combines a mass of thrills
with a lack of unnecessary melo-
wwM"l
drama and it gives an entertain
ment that is well worth tfie price of
admission. It is a war story without
the superfluous battle scenes which
producers are now trying to feed the
public.
Dustin Farnum, as usual, does
sterling work. He gives to the char
acter of Mark Quaintance, the spy, a
naivete and wholesome good humor
which are in marked contrast to the
vivid dramatic scenes of the photo
play. He starts out as a young man
of wealth and social standing, who
enlists on a dangerous mission to
Germany in the cause of his country.
After .many hair-raising experi
ences, he gains possession of a list of
Teutonic spies in the United States.
