"Night and Morning" Take Place of "Darkness and Dawn" A librarian must have a good imagination, according to Miss Madeline Hillis, of the South Side branch public library.' "Parents send their children after a book, but unless they write it down we usually have to resort to the telephone to discover its title," explained Miss Hillis. "They re tain & word or two of the title but seldom all ot it. "During the last two weeks we have had calls for 'Night and Morn ing,' when 'Darkness and Dawn,' by Farrar, was wanted; 'The Wig On the Cabbage' for 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Fatchf by Alice Hegan Rice; 'The.

Phone & 1 HUNDREDS SIGH PETITIONS FOR SOLDO RELIEF Secretary of War to Be Asked to Discharge Troops Speed ily and to Give Six Months' Pay. Nebraska and Iowa are respond ing seriously and by the hundreds to assist the thousands of young Americans who risked their all at the call of their country. Petitions asking that soldiers be discharged as rapidly as possible and given suf ficient pay to assist them over the period between discharge and a pay day in civilian employment are com ing to The Bee office by hundreds. You also can do your bit. Clip out :he petition in today's Bee. Call on your neighbors and secure their sig natures and mail it to The Bee. We will forward them immediately to the secretary of war in order that he may understand the wishes of the American people in regard to the disposition of the American army. The secretary of war would doubt less gladly pay the soldiers a reason able amount, were it in his power, to assist them in their time of need. He does not have the authority. Con gress when he requests this action would doubtless refuse his reqaest as unnecessary were he alone in the request With the united plea of thousands of Americans backing him in the movement the war secretary will be able to present his arguments in a forceful fashion. In Omaha alone demands for ci vilian relief have increased one-sixth since the signing of the armistice ac cording to the reports of the Red Cross. Very few Nebraskans have been granted discharges and the number of relief cases is certain to increase as the boys return home. If this is true in Nebraska, the heart of the most prosperous section of the country, consider the suffer ing that is certain to exist in the less fortunate sections. The American soldier sacrificed his business future, his life, his all, when his country called. Can you not give five minutes' time and a postage stamp to give him what he rightfully de serves? Heavily loaded transports are ar riving on home shores daily. With each passing day the suffering in creases. Do your bit today and rush a petition to The Bee. We will do ours and rush it to Washington. "PHOTO PIAY- OFFERINGS FOR TODAY EYE strain is one of the evils which movie artists have to contend with. It is not unusual for a movie star to be unable to work for several days after a ses sion of night work in a glass studio under the glare of the Cooper Hewitts. Without good lighting there cannot be good photography and good lighting and photography are essential. No matter how versa tile the cast, how strong the story, how expensive the stage settings, if the photography and lighting are bad the production is classed as bad. The Cooper-Hewitts are run about on casters and there are probably a half dozen of them trained in all their dazzling brightness on a studio set. And then when 'close ups' are required and the star is obliged to gaze soulfully almost into the very glare of the lights, it will readily be understood that the strain on the eyes is sometimes almost unendurable. Patrons of "The Talk of the Town" which opens a four-day en gagement at the Brandeis theater tomorrow afternoon will have the novelty of seeing a Chinese Jazz band in action and being taken as it were on a personally conducted excursion to an ornately appointed underworld cafe, the setting of which has been reproduced by the Brandeis theater staff ond artist.

K." next morning when he tries to get out of bed Oh, such pain! Pain in the back (lumbago) or hips, shoulders, arms, legs or feet (rheumatism or gout). This rheu matism is the result of an uric-acid explosion within, probably following excessive use of meat or beer or over-exertion and over-heating. Swollen hands, ankles and feet are flue to a dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys. Natu rally when the kidneys are deranged the blood is filled with poisonous uric acid, which settles in the tissues of the feet, ankles, wrists or back as uratic salts; or under the eyes in bag - like formations, i It is just as necessary to keep the kidneys acting properly as to keep the bowels active to rid the body of poisons. Uric-acid poisoning and rheumatic pains can be conquered and expelled by taking a little " Anuric." This is the recent discovery of Dr. Pierce, and can be had at all good drug stores.

AT THE THEATERS GUY BATES POST in Richard Walton Tully's production, "The Masquerader," has been playing a series of return engage ments in cities where the play was presented prior to the run in New York last season The unusual fea ture of these engagements is that Mr. Post has attracted to the box office larger receipts than on his first visits. "The Masquerader," is en route for an engegement in Chicago after which it will be seen here. Of all stage illusions ever display ed at the Orpheum the most effec tive is the final scene in "On the High Seas," the spectacular melo drama on view this week as one of the headline attractions. Another stellar attraction is the most humor ous story teller on the vaudeville stage, Walter C. Kelly, known as "the Virginia Judge." He is the master pf many dialects. The fun of his anecdotes is largely due' to the effectiveness of the different dialects in which they 'are told. Ed Flanagan and Neely Edwards, in the comedy sketch, ""Off and On," is an other featured act on the current bill. Charles Howard, who plays the leading low comedy patf in the new est version of "Hitchy Koo" which will close its engagement at the Brandeis theater with the perfor mance tonight, was the former vaud eville partner of Leon Errol, who was a meteoric feature of last sea son's Hitchcock show. Gene Tyne, the new prima donna with Raymond Hitchcock's second edition of "Hitchy Koo," is a Texas girl and this has been her first as sociation with a big musical revue. Flo Ziegfield, jr., was introduced to her at a social gathering in New York, and after hearing her sing immediately engaged her for the "Hitchy Koo."

PUT STOMACH III FINE CONDITION Says Indigestion Results from an Excess of Hydrochloric Acid. Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermenta tion. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feet a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digest ive aids and instead, get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and further more, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the . gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harm less salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with ex cellent results. Adv. SLUMBER OUTRAGED? and some notable activity over at the Boyd.
