They take things less seriously down In the Andes country. The Latin races live their lives easily. There Is a lack f realization of the seriousness and meaning of life, an habitual inclination to take things lightly. With no strug gle to better their lot in life or light against untoward circumstances, they calmly resign themselves to the fate of the unseen hand. In family life there Is much affectionate generosity and contentment; life for them la simpler and less Intense than In Anglo Saxon countries. There the women care little for the ballot Are they backward? Does civ ilisation lag? Perhaps ; but those who travel there declare that the morning tar of duty as wife and mother, even In their limited conception of its mean ing, shines all the brighter in comparison. In their own wide rami fied family circles their Influence is felt, while their outside Interest cen ters in the church. The wealthy senora is looked up to by her poorer sisters and In the small towns and haciendas where her nu merous family connections are the lead ing people of the community, she ex tends a kindly and charitable benefi cence to them and to all who serve them In any capacity. When these women come of old Spanish stock they are extremely exclusive and ancient rules of etiquette guide their social re lationships. Their daughters go to the convent schools, receive a limited edu cation and return home to continue the same regime as has held sway since the day when their forbears left Spain.

It displays a colossal courage. a giant audacity. It dares stand in the face of chaos and say that com i'ty must ensue. Improved Camera. The convenience of the camera has been further Increased by the addition of a means for accurately judging the actinic value of the light at the time of making a picture, and thereby ar riving at the correet length of expo sure to be given the sensitive film, says the Scientific American. The Improve ment relates particularly to those cameras which carry a roll film. As these films are now made they are backed with a sheet of black or red paper for the purpose of protecting them from the light, and they have Imprinted on them numbers which ap pear under a tiny opening In the back of the camera and serve as a guide to the operator In properly spacing the exposures on the film. The new scheme, in addition, contemplates at taching to the backing paper, pieces of sensitized paper at regular Inter vals which pass along under another opening, and by observing the change which takes place In the color of these pieces as they are exposed under the opening, the operator Is enabled to ar rive at the length of time the shutter Is to be opened in making the exposure for the desired picture.

Truly tense that grips and holds, greatest arguments for preparedness that was ever put together, strong brujtaly frank in a way, but nevertheless true. Go see it. Motion Picture World: Strongest feature yet shown, holds attention in absorbing manner, hits hard, not merely taps. Dramatic Mirror: A sensational film without a doubt the greatest impres sions will be made by Wars' Women, a horrible impression it is true, but still one that will bring the downright horrors of the war home to every person who witnesses the production. Billboard: (Never before have Moving Picture audiences witnessed a more forcible interpretation of a descisable role than this. Motion Picture News: Jt is wonderfully well done in every respect, really a monu mental piece of acting. Variety: A. strong protest against the violation of women in war and is magnificently done. Motography: Provoking a world wide sensa tion. What the Critics of the Wash ington Papers say: The Post: The most impressive dramat ic picture shown on a screen, a deliberately horrible story of the war. (Lives up to its pur pose of shocking the spectators. Washington Times: One of the greatest masters of photoplays technique, Thom as H. Ince, has utilized all his skill and Frank Keenan his most consummate art as an ac tor. The play is an appeal for preparedness with the most cogent and certainly the most terrible reason for national awakening. The Herald: Thomas Ince's masterpiece. Greatest argument for prepar edness ever put together. Story is perfect with a tempo that builds from one tense situation to another. Drew capacity au dience. The Evening Star: It makes Sherman's tense de scription of war fall impotent and meaningless. Every con ceivable horror that has ever been worked with realistic act ing.

H3YeHRS LATER Iflf Subscribe for the Hickory Daily Record LOJ KHM&E LOJ LOJ w You Need a Tonic There are times in every woman's life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard places. When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui 4s com posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can't make a mistake in taking The Woman's Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: "I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything." Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers. Matter of Fact. Great is the power of matter-of-fact, greater and made up of richer elements ; than perhaps we care to remember. It is part of the power the eternal power ' of the story teller over the mind of . man. There is no great story teller, I from Hunter to Scott and Guy de Muu- passant, who, whatever else he may I faave, has not the faculty for matter-of-; factness. It is the treasury from which the wit and cynic draw their income, and often . the philosopher his capital. I Stranger still, it is the bed rock upon which the poets build their palaces; : glorious views from top windows are i made possible by the hard substance j below the basement, and the men who build without it, trusting wholly to imagination, are not the men who endure. What reason is to faith, matter-of. fact is to imagination. Has Helped Thousands. W H K M M f Sounds Reasonable. Bob Goree, who has recently been in New York, brings back a yarn of a man showing his rich aunt from the country the sights along Broadway. "One night the young man took fits aunt to see a musical revue. He wits keen on making a good impression, as he had great expectations from the old lady. So he was quite taken back when, as soon as the curtain rose, tli good dame grasped him by the arm and hurried him from the theater. "'Disgraceful!
