' Peplac is a palatable combination of roots, herbs, barks and berries expert ly proportioned and many of the peo pie who have tested it have described in detail how they have increased in weight, strength and energy; how they are able to enjoy good, sound and refreshing sleep; how they are able to i . again eat Dig, nearty meals after long buffering from indigestion and stom- ach trouble and also how Peplac has freed them from nervousness and slug ishness. - i Today IPeplac's merits will be ex plained at the Hanover and Payne .Drug stores.

'ILL-LUCK FOLLOWS i: I THE BAVARIANS .'Pari Am? 1A Tho v, 'bnSser the Allies in Flanders is but. Th. reireat or the Germans under the jsmashmg blows delivered by the French and British was not due to ppor Ighting on the part of the Teu , tons, nor was it because of superior leadership on the part of the Allies. Any one of the many thousands of Germans prisoners captured during ithe furious fighting of the past week swill, teir you the answer. In their opinion the recent reverses suffered firr - the Gennans-re due solelv to Jthe proverbial ill-luck that has follow ned'the royal house of Bavaria for gen lerations. V It would be impossible to convince . . - o (., lucic CAlSLSl a possibility of success for anv armv .fighting under the command of Prince I and still living, and little Rudolph, Rupprecnvof Bavaria, despite the fact (born in 19-09,:, whose, sudden death in ;iat from the military viewpoint he is ',1912 was the final " blow to his un one of the ablest leaders of the war, .' happy mother, as: was proven when he stopped the' , .. - tide of advancing British on the I Spmme last year. But Rupprecht is a Bavarian, heir to the throne, in fact, and Germans long ago came to look upon every member of tne Bavarian : royal house as a "jinx," as the.Ani- ! ericans put it. " There is no disputing the fact that the Bavarian royal family has Ion? been one of the unluckiest in all Fu- Vrope. Every newspaper reader is able ..to recall the ill fate that has pursued Its rulers for-generations. The tragic history of the family dates Vck"to. .the dreamer, King Ludwig II. From his earliest childhood Ludwig showed signs of insanity. But it was not until ::1864, when he ascended the throne, that his eccentricities began to be no ticed'. He was nominally succeeded , on the throne by his brother Otto, who proved still more mad than Ludwig. ;The first symptoms of King Otto's madness were visible during the Franco-German war, when he called out a rsquad of cavalry to charge straight at a stone wall, which he insisted was a body of the enemy's infantry. t During the lifetime of King Otto , ' Vthe country was ruled undet the - regency of his uncle. Prince Luitpold, 7 --who died in 1912 in his ninety-second . year. Less than a year later the mad old. King Otto was deposed and was ; succeeded on the throne by his cousin, . the present King Ludwig, the father ; . of Prince Rupprecht, who is command 5 f lijg the German army division that has borne the brunt of the allied on slaughts in Flanders during the past ' two weeks. ; ' ' .The Bavarian curse seems to have extended to the present heir to the throne. He has been unfortunate in , Ws military career and extremely un ; happy In his family life. His wife - was a sister to the present Queen of ; ; ' the .Belgians, and was celebrated throughout Germany not only for her , 'wonderful charms .as a woman, but . also for her love of music and art and the help she gave her. father in his -scientific labors; ; . -Rupprecht and the' lovely Princess . Gabrielle came together at Florence . ' .In March of 1900, the engagement was publicly announced at Easter and they ; ; were married in July. The wedded C Jife-of the royal couple, begun hap vpily, and full of that happiness which the presence of children can give, was - nbj iso happy in other ways, and it came to a gloomy end when the v - Crown PrinceSs Tn ,1912,- broken in health, depressed by family bereave , ment and by the death of. her three-year-old son, and tired of her trou bles, died suddenly at Sorrento, in j itaiy, or paralysis . 01 tne heart. In those v twelve years,- there had been 'five children, one of whom, in 1906, died stillborn.4r!The first ichild,; Luit pold, born tn 1901, grew up, under the mother's - wonderfully ' maternal.; care, .

In .doing so she eventually schemes away her child's happiness by marrying her to Prinze Zuroff (Walter Law) . - WEEK-END AT THE GRAND. With a notable cast, including Re- gina Badet, the vampire of France, Albert Signer, the most 'finished actor in Europe, and Fred Gerard and Burt Cummings, "Atonement" will be shown at the Grand tomorrow. This isone of the. Brady-International Service World-Pictures, the first hav ing been "The Golden Lotus," and it is a truly notable picture with which to inaugurate this notable service. The story is replete with exciting and interesting incidents in which Regina Badet's superb beauty is seen to the best advantage. A Greek dance in which Miss Badet takes the principal part is one of the most entrancing and thrilling features of this photo play. To see Miss Badet is to see one of the screen's most .wonderful actors. Be sure to see "Atonement" and see her in her first American picture. Mermaids to Contest for Title.

This is not a preachment against ac tions bordering ' on rowdyism or out bursts inspired by the theme of the play; in the arousing of racial or re ligious prejudice, -which may -happen in: war -times; .. Such. : happenings are within the province of i the . censor - to ipreveht.or the police to, cjuell. Let me illustrate just what' I mean; The other evening I, dropped into a theatre to see. a play I wished partic ularly to view from the standpoint of ;a student. . I. .was . seated in the orchestra and surrounded by; folks ef refinement apparently, most of them women. Well, if ; refinement includes consideration for other folk's feelings I certainly misjudged my neighbors.. 1 never heard., such a chatter at a circus or a ball game. : Every title: was repeated, laughed at or scolded before I could make out the , lettering, v while there., was a con stant "fire of comment and criticism of the theme- of the play and - he work of the principals which made it . absolutely impossible for toe to iollow, much less enjoy, the reall ex cellent performance? I maybe exag gerating, but I have not even yet re covered my even-temper or forgot Un my vow next -time -to go up, way up, in the gallery to gain the silence of a male audience. ' " Now, the screens have aptly been called the silent drama but photo plays claim the same intensity of in terest and concentration of eye and mind as does the legitimate stage, and it is to be hoped that all: who witness these great picture dramas will realize this. A whispered com ment, now and then, or a laugh forced by a bit of comedy, or even applause, are pardonable, but conversation all right, in a subway train is all wrong in a moving picture theatre. I am afraid I have lost my temper in writing this but it is just the way I feel and just the way I felt long be fore I became identified with the screens.' Next time you go to see a picture, you who are prone to tell everybody what the play is all about and how you like it, please bear. in mind you are not bothering the actors and actresses a mite, but you are showing ill manners and a disregard for the rights of others and making an unmitigated nuisance of yourself. I would not like to be a nuisance. A wire cutter to be fastened to the mu7zle of a military rifle and oper ated by the bullets as the weapon is SHE WILL NOT COMPETE .

We will publish the financial report in full in Sunday's papers. Space fails us to tell of all the pleasant inspiring things that happened. A few of the most conspicuous ones, however, must be related. For instance, a lady sent a little bit of an envelope with the mes sage that it contained a few pennies, a,, part of a "thank offering." Later in the day when the treasurer Opened the packet there were two two-dollar and a half gold pieces. Pennies in deed! Later in the day : a lady irought in three huge, gorgeous to matoes in a small basket labeled "War Garden Tomatoes, Home Grown, Hand Picked." They were greatly admired and sold for 25 cents, the money going into the Patriotic Penny; Some young ladies brought us beautifully- made trench torches and some young ladies of high school age made 350 tampons Miss - Evelyn Harriss spent her morn ing making body binders and many young girls spent some time at the carding cotton table and little Miss Taylor, and her friends cut up bits for p?ter Cooper. He is a peedy gentle- man who devours snippings and it is quite impossible to keep him satisfied. A lot of people bring him nourishment ready prepared; he merely eats and eats and says nothing, but he grows fat visibly, which is some compensa tion for the trouble. Mrs. W. S.
