A novelty that is unique in its inter
est is the Paramount photoplay, "Bab's
Diary", from the famous story by
" Mary Roberts Rinehart which appeared
in the Saturday Evening Post. Bab,
the pretty boarding, school girl hero
ine, tells of .her experiences with a
family which persists in treating her
as a little girl and which she pretty
thoroughly frightens by pretending to
be engaged to someone they had never
seen. The titles are taken from the
original book , and their charm lies in
the droll spelling and naive charm of
Bab's own script. This is probably the
: first time that the idea of filming a
diary, page by page, has been adopted.
"Bab's Diary", starring Marguerite
Clark, will be shown today and tomor
row at the Grand theatre.
This is one of the most charming
ly unique photoplays that Miss Clark
has ever been given the opportunity
to play, and the "sub-deb" -character
fits her to a "T".
A "sub-deb" is a girl who haa not
as yet made her debut. That is, her
debut into society. Mary Roberts Rine
hart has pictured this type wonder
fully. -
Bijou.
The final chapter of the great Marie
"Walcamp serial ; extraordinary. The
Red Ace," occupies top position on to
day's big bill, at the Bijou theatre, and
will undoubtedly attract the largest
crowds yet, who will be anxlcus to
see the final outcome of this thrilling
story of treachery,, crime, bravery and
manhood. "The Red Ace" has been a
remarkable serial from many stand
points, and its final chapter today will
undoubtedly be the means of bringing
one, of the biggest crowds of the year
to the Bijou.
There are other Dig features at the
Bijou today. One of them is a late
Lonesome Luke comedy hit, "Step Live
ly," roar from beginning to end. Then
there is another roar of the comedy
variety, "Jerry . Saves the Navy" and
also., an extremely interesting scenic
educational picture.
Grand Monday and Tifteaday.
Of ."The Light Within." Mme. Pe
trova's initial supeivpToductlon, coming
to the Grand next Monday and Tues
day, the Moving Picture World says: .
"Madame Petrova, the star of 'The
Light Within.'' a. five-part photoplay
presented -b;- ".le First National Ex
hibitors' Circu.i. has the role of a
young American girl, daughter of the
American ambassador to a European
kingdom, known as Belmark.
Although dealing with the present,
'The Light Within' follows the mod-1'
of a school of romance long familia,
and depends on its love Interest rather
than on an attempt to reflect concRtlons
as they exist between nations today.
Madame Petrova Is a stately v and
finely gowned figure as Marion, and
seems born for a seat on throne. She
plays her part with earnestness and is
always consistent to the character in
dicated at the beginning of the pic
ture. The supporting company 'Is of
excellent calibre. . f

MORE CORM MORE COK!
The big demand of the food adminis
tration now is that we save the wheat.
Save the wheat with a big S and a
big W. We can't save too much, and
-as loyal Americans we ought to try to
better the record the food administra
tion asks us to make. .
Corn seems to be the best of the
substitute grains for muffins and
..bread. It can be mixed with rice
flour or with potato flour instead of
wheat, and so really good absolutely
wheatless breads may be made.
Here are some worth-while recipes
to add to a collection you probably
have on hand:
Cornmeal and Cheese: One of the
government suggestions for the use
of cornmeal is that it be combined
with cheese. Corn meal mush sprin-r
kled with grated cheese and baked
until brown, is a very good and decid
edly nourishing dish. It is really an
all around sort of dish, "good for the
mainstay at luncheon, as the cheese
and cornmeal together provide both
starch and protein.
Cornmeal With Meat: Cornmeal is
used in scrapple, a local delicacy In
many parts of the country with pork
as we all know. It may also be used
mixed with other meats in various
meat cakes and croquettes. As it
quickly forms a crust on the outside
of the croquettes in which it is used,
they need not be dropped in eggs and
crumbs in the usual manner. A good
receipt for cornmeal and meat cro
quettes is this: One cupful of chopped
HE CURED
CHRONIC GOLD
WITH VINOL
Mr. ' BagleyV Letter Printed
Here as Proof
Dunn..' N. C. "I suffered .with a
chronic cold for four months, coughed
day and night. Had to keep on work
ing when I was not able to. I saw
Vinol advertised and tried it, and I
want to tell you it just cured that
cold in a short time." J, C. Bagley,
Dunn, N. C. '
That's because Vinol is a constitu
tional cod liver and iron remedy which
aids digestion,-enriches the blood and
creates strength. Then chronic coughs
and colds naturally disappear. Your
-money will be returned if it does not
help you.

made of the meal in the proportion of
one cupful to four of' milk an d water
mixed, cooked with a teaspoon full of
salt in a fireless cooker or double boil

sidered rather heavy as a breakfast
food, especially in summer by . many
persons; but it is delicious when al
lowed to cook," then cut in slices, fried

It is also useful in preparing various
dishes like croquettes. In . the South
it is sometimes served fried with

Lexington, N. C, Men Have 5,000 Acres
of Land in Brunswick, v,
(Lexington (N. C.) Dispatch.)
The announcement that the govern
ment and private - shipbuilders . are
about to begin the erection of giant
shipyards at Wilmington, this state,
holds interest to Lexington people. Especially-is
this so in view of the fact
that Judge C. E. Godwin and Mr. Geo.
Moorefleld.. recently bought a "tract; of
land containing 5,000 acres within a
few miles of Southport and not far
from Wilmington. This tract contains
upward of twelve million feet of good
marketable timber and beside is in the
zone that will be affected directly by
shipbuilding operations no doubt. The
harbor at . Southport, one of the finest
on the American coast, is coming in for
attention at Washington and a land
owner there has offered 100 acres free
for a coaling station. It Is also rumored
that a big embarkation camp might be
established there. Whether this ma
terializes or not, the work is beginning
now onj the shipbuilding plants. .1. A ,
railroad is being completed through
Judge Godwin's place, which leads over
to Fort Caswell. This gives added val
ue to his timber lands. - ) v.
