This gives ' some idea of the terrible devastation . !n northern France. Among the numerous worries of women a sallow or muddy complexion is by no means the least, and, to try to cover it up with face powder only makes a bad matter worse. You must get at the root of the evil. It is caused by a sluggish liver, constipation and errors in diet Take a few doses of Chamber Iain's Tablets, adopt a diet of cereals, vegetables and fruit, and take plenty of outdoor exercise Walk at least five miles a day and the trouble will gradually disappear. , Try it "PHOTO 'PIAY' OFFERING J. FOR. TODAY'" ARothapfel Unit program char- acterizing six distinct features had its initial showing at the Rialto theater yesterday. Music, effects, magazine, novelty prelude, dramatic features and comedy are shown all under the personal super vision of Samuel Rothapfel and each bearing the artistic touch of this man who has been recognized as the greatest exhibitor of the country and in this' program he makes his initial bow as a producer. The feature drama of the program is "False Gods," a strong photo drama of the battle love over am bition with Grace Darling, Harry Mestayer, Hugh Thompson, Alfred Hickman, Ida Darling and Florence Billings in the cast. A comedy without slapstick effects and the usual chase is shown in "Wild Flowers." It tells of the life of two New York "chickens." "The Woman Thou Gavest Me," a magnificent picturization of Hall Laine s famous novel is showing at the Strand theater. The picture was produced by .Hugh Ford, one of the most experienced stage and screen producers. The picture was taken in California, with a powerful cast, including Katherine MacDohald, Milton Sills, Theodore Roberts, Jack Holtz, Fritzi Brunette, and Katherine Griffith. The novel was first produced on the stage in 1917 by Derwent Hall Caine, son of the author. As a novel it outsold all of the author's books. The picture is one ot the screen s greatest triumphs. The tremendous story of Mary's struggles after being sacri ficed upon the alter of wedlock to a man' she hates is unforgivable. The story covers a wide field in cluding Egypt, Africa, India, bngiand and the iouth Polar regions. sThe picture is not only powerfully dramatic, but colorful and fascinating in every way. Priscilla Dean, star portrayer of underworld roles, is the feature play er in "Pretty Smooth," which is the attraction at the Brandeis. "Pretty Smooth" was especially written for Miss1 Dean by Bayard Veiller, the famous writer of plays with a crim inal atmosphere. Miss Dean has the part of Gertie Jones, thief, known to her associates as "The Chatterbox" because she talks to herself when excited. Gertie has the faculty of impersonating French maids and thus, obtaining employment in wealthy homes. When Gertie leaves, a goodly por tion ot the iamilv jewels leaves with her. She tries to open the safe during the absence of her mistress, but scratches it so badly by her un skilled methods that she has to con trive an alibi.

"Playthings of Passion," the new est picture in which Kitty Gordon is starring at the Muse is described as a startling story with the above theme for its basis. It deals with the temptation which came to the young cleric and the momentous re sults arising from the way he met it.

Wallace Worsley directed the picture, which bears the hall mark of supervision by that master producer Robert Brunton. TAKES SE FROM LIFE OF KING SOLOMON Rev. C. W. Savidge Says Many Omaha Men Are Keeping Two Homes; Concubines Are Popular. "Are You Keeping a Woman?" was the subject of a sermon by Rev. C. W. Savidge at the People's church last evening. His subject was taken from First Kings, 11:1, "And King Solomon loved many strange women." The sermon, in part, was as follows: "My subject is, 'Are You Keeping a Woman?' - "A few chapters previous to this statement God says He gave Solo mon a 'wise and an understanding heart.' None preceded him and none who followed him should have such wisdom. But in 1st Kings, 11:3, God has written this record against the king: 'He had 700 wives and 300 concubines,' and instead of God be ing his friend in such a transaction, God turned to be his enemy. It is very doubtful whether Solomon ever again obtained the favor of God. "I understand that a concubine is not a wife but a kept woman. And this relation is very popular in mod ern cities today. Many Omaha Case's. "I have known rich men in this city who have paid out much money year after year for the support of a second home and these men became very sensitive and very touchy on the subject, and their friends had to be very careful what they said to them, lest they should become frightened and angry, because they feared that their true relation would be found out and would be known among the people. The fact is their true characters were known "Many women in our stores fac tories and homes in Omaha and in other cities are sustaining this rela tion. I cry, 'Shame I Shame 1' " 'What isthe harmj?' I am asked. "First: This thing makes God angry. "Second: People can't stand such a life, they commit suicide. "Third: It robs decent, hard working men of true wives. This concubine business has become so popular that decent, hard-working men cannot find good women to be their wives, to help build their homes and to raise their children. I know and can give you the proof of what I say. I am in practical touch of this thing. , "Fourth: You will disgrace yourself and die and go to hell. Whole Man or None. "What is the cure? First: Decide that you will live purely and righteously whatever comes. God will make it possible for you to do so. Sister, if I were you, I would not have a fraction of a man, nor share him with any one else. I would have a whole man or none. , " "Good people will help you. Its proper to call for help. Isaac was a rich Jew, but his father and old servant helped him to find Rebecca. "Mordacai the wise Jew aided his beautiful niece .Esther to become a queen. "Samson was the strongest man in history but he asked his father and mother to help him get his wife. - "If you can't find your mate alone ask help. But don't share your heart or home with any other person." OFFICIALS ASK TIN CANS USED A SECOND TIME Twenty Cans to Each Person Are Yearly Wasted in the United States; Ma- chine Is Invented, .. . ''" 1 vV ' The government waste reclama tion service of the department of commerce with headquarters in Washington is using the Omaha Chamber of Commerce to take an active part in making used tin cans do-their share in the uplift of social industry. This department of the government urges that instead of throwing used tin cans into the alleys and later being sent to the dump, they be utilized.

This is an average of about 20 cans to each person. This number of cans rep resents about 800,000 tons of material, of which 8,000 tons is pure tin.

That the tin from cans may be converted into a merchantable prod uct, by a machine, which, according to the government cuts the can across the top and bottom and along the seam, and then presses it into a flat sheet. The flat sheets of tin obtained from working over the old cans are utilized in the manufacture of as bestos sheets, toys, box covers and numerous other articles. It is sold at a good price and is found to bring greater returns than under the old system, when detinning was the rule. The tops and bottoms of the cans, shipped to detinning plants bring in large revenues and are money makers for the dealers. The government suggests that in cities where there are large accu mulations of used tin cans, it would be profitable to install electrical fornaces for melting the solder from the tops and bottoms of the cans, selling it to dealers.

Judging; from the eountleai preparations and treatments which art continually be-ins- advertised for the purpoae of making thin people fleshy, developing- arraa, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and anirlea by the soft curved linea of health and beauty, there are evidently thousand! of men and women who keenly feel theit excesaive thinners. Thinneas and weaknesa are often due te starved nerves. Our bodiea need more phosphate than ia contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there ia nothing that will supply this deficiency to well ai the organic phosphate known among drug gists as bitro-phosphate, which is inexpen sive and ia sold by Sherman & McConnell in Omaha, and most all druggiata under a guarantee of aatisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the neces sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a Welcome transfor mation in the appearance; the increase ir weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en ergy, which nearly always accompany ex cessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION. Although bitro-phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakneaa, it should not, owing . to ita tendency to in crease weight, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.
