Editor The Dispatch": ' 1 ' From the Associated Press dis patches we learri ' fhat 8,000 Jews were forced to flee from their homes at Jaffa, Palestine, because, as The Dispatch has it, "it was the 'fate in store for any Jew who might be so foolhardy as to oppose the looters of the Turks." Mr. Turk, with a well-known past spotted with cruelty, needs no better introduction relative to his charac-! al 'J C 1 111 - W.

That ever popular portrayer of Latin characters, George Beban, who scored such, a success in "Pasquale I? the Italian, and in "His Sweet heart," and other productions, will be seen at the' Grand tomorrow in the Pallas-Paramount production of ine Bond Between." Mr. Beban is the author of the story as well as the ctr of the production. There is no actor on the American stage or screen who so well knows the Latin tern-perament-and characteristics as does Mr. Beban. He scored his first success as a Frenchman, and later as the Italian in his wonderful production, The Sign of the Rose," which has also been transferred to the screen. i.i! : DocmiQlc " Mr. The most eminent physicians recog nize that uric acid stored up in the) system is the cause of gout and rheu matism, that this uric acid poison , is deposited in the joints, muscles, or nerve-sheath. By experimenting and analysis at the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called Anuric, which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflamma tion subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric (dou ble strength) at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid. Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to a dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys. Naturally when the kidneys are deranged the blood is filled with poisonous uric acid, Bert wouldn't know how to handle I very, picture he drew of, by and for him.

"THE RAILROAD - Under the direction of James P. McGowan a warehouse set is being constructed at the end of a spur track on the Salt: Lake Railroad, near Pico.Cal. The building when com pleted will be between 75 and 100 feet long. This will be used in the sixth chapter of the latest Mutual-Signal serial, "The Railroad Raiders," in which Helen Holmes is the star. The warehouse was built at the end of the spur so that a runaway train may be sent down the track and smash straight through the side of the build ing.. i, Another thrill is foreshadowed in the purchase of a Pullman car which is, to be wrecked in the eighth chap ter of the railroad story. The car will be used in ona of the most sensational passenger train smash-ups ever staged for the screen. The town of Northbridge, Mass., incorporated three years before the battle of Bunker Hill, has voted for 145 consecutive years against the li cense of the liauor traffic.

THE EAGLE'S WINGS" FOR THE VICTORIA. "The Eagle's Vings" will be pre-j sented at the Victoria Saturday un der the auspices of the Knights of Pythias in Bluebird Photoplays, fea turing Herbert Rawlinson and Grace Carlyle. The story was written by Rufus Steele, a prominent San Fran cisco newspaper man, primarily to introduce scenes bearing upon the much discussed topic of "industrial preparedness' Through the co-operation of government officials, Mr. Steele was permitted to enter muni tion plants, navy yards and military posts to se'cure authentic scenes illus trating the attendant results of co operation by the captains of industry in helping Uncle Sam in time of need. There are numerous views taken in munition plants, now active in filling war orders from abroad, and the whole purpose of the production is to demonstrate the almost limitless re sources upon which the government may draw in case of necessity. "The Eagle's Wings" is an inspiration to patriotism, van object lesson in preparedness.

No attempt had been made by him to conceal the fact that he was struck with the beauty of that country. Around the tomb of Sala din, of Crusade fann at Damascus, he even bowed with uncovered head. An attempt at befriending the terri ble Turk was at onc under way. The Sultan was promised protection from outside aggression, and the? Kaiser in return obtained some valu able land concessions. The ceded land is about 25 miles northwest of Jaffa and) 58 miles east of. Jerusalem. German settlers were ' scon seen dot- tin like a continuous stream. It is to be soundly presumed that it was in evitable for them, at that rate, to be in need of territorial extension in Asia, as has been the case in West ern Europe. Conceivably a bargain was drawn for the depopulation of Armenia, Syria and Palestine. Tur key was thereby to annihilate her own subjects, Armenia to make room for the increasing Kurdish population as well as Syria and Palestine to make room for German settlers. The systematic starving, exiling, deporting and killing of Christians, Jews and even Mohammedans alike bears witness to th? aforesaid ex planation and furnishes the unmistak able mark of the beast. tirKtsh sub jects have never accepted the Turk ish flag as their own. For the flag that does not defend would naturally offend, hence their leaning to foreign influences and foreign powers. Even an Armenian child would tell you that he is looking to Russia for emanci pation and deliverance. Turkish sub jects have always looked to civilized Christian nations for sympathy and protection. For example, the Prot estants look to England, the Catholics to France and the Orthodox, who are the most numerous, to Bussia. In normal . times they are generally given recognition by reason of those soon thereafter declines in market value, say to 85, A directs B to buy 100 shares at that price. The stock thus obtained is delivered to D, from whom an equal number of shares had been borrowed, and D returns to B the money which he had held as se curity. The $8,500 due on the stock purchased by A is paid, and B turns over to his client, A, the profit of $500, less expense, thus made on the series of transactions. These are, of course, merely the main features of the operation. There are many additional features, and ex igencies of one kind or another are more than likely to develop.

Questions and Answers, How have the tobacco companies fared in view of the war conditions and the reported higher costs of pro duction, manufacturing, distributing, etc.? A. B. The important companies have shown substantial increases in earn ings. The increased wealth of this country has naturally increased the domestic consumption of tobacco in its various forms, and the purchases for the use of soldiers at the front has been large. American Tobacco earned nearly 23 per cent, for its com mon stock in 1916 against 20 in 1916; HOUSEKEEPER It is quite as important to transact the business of the household by means of Bank checks as it is to use checks in your business pay roll.

CITIZENS BANK Second and Prncess Streets very influences. But why there has Lorillard earned 25 per cent., against not been any assistance rendered after Turkey's entry into the war in the shape of an invasion for de liverance will in all likelihood remain a mystery. At thj outset of the war two shells from a gunboat would have sufficed for the occupation of Jaffa or Beirut. The job would have been accomplished perhaps at a cost of less than $2,000. Should there b ny justifiable ex planation . forthcoming after the war by the aliied powers, it is lamentable to state that it would then, as now, not be in order, but too late to do any good. About 42 per cent, of the people have already perished. The ratio is steadily increasing, as these lines are being read. The war is too far gone and the allies too occu pied and too heavily burdened to give assistance. But the people the re maining fragment of them need help, airil our Christian hearts would concede that they should have it. They are nqw all looking to America for maintainance and deliverance. Will America become her brother's keeper? ALEX S.

It is popularly understood that the Childs Co. is controlled by Standard Oil interests. Is this true? B. J. M. A recent authoritative article on the Childs Co., published in the "Na tion's Business," the organ of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, declares that this popular be lief is a misconception. "Standard Oil interests" is, of course, a sweeping and at the same time rather vague term.
