TALENTED
ACTRESS
MAKES HIT

Margaret Ellington ana her splendid
company played TO a large audience
at the Hammond theatre last night and
those who witnessed the performances
say that "kindling" is the best drama
that has ever been seen in Hammond.
There were a large number of peo-
pie from Gary, East Chicago and Indi-
ana Harbor. and the rest of the audi
ence was made up of Hammond people
Considering the fact that il was East
er Sunday the crowd was surprisingly
large
The attraction drew out some of the
best people in the city who wanted to
see Margaret Ellington Frohman-
Bowes even though they were com
PEELED to overcome their scruples
against Sunday theatre going in order
to do so.
Kindling" is clever drama by
Charles Kenyon and deals with The
problems of a woman and her husband
who lived in the tenement district of
New York city.
The wifes mother instincts were
strongly developed, but the husband,
who realized the terribly unsanitary
conditions which surrounded them, said
that he would snuff out the little life
of a child that was born to them rather
than have it reared in such an atmos-
phere.
The only solution OF the problem
seems to be for the young wife and her
husband to leave New York and go
west to settle on a government claim.
In order to get the 500 with which to
make the trip the young woman be-
comes an accessory to a burglary. This
leads to her detection and disgrace, but
settlement workers finally appreciate
the motives which prompted her and
save her from jail.
The beauty of the play is it's plausi-
bilitv. There was not a situation in
1t which was Improbable or imppossi-
bic. 1t was so true to life that the au-
dience fairly breathed the stifed at
| mosphere of tenement districts and
forgot that 1t was all make believe

Benedict j. Short is certain to be Sc

Mr.. Short is the only candidate of the
many who are asking for the office of

Get Rid Of Elastic Bands, Springs an,
Ieg-StraRs. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations.

Trusses like those shown above--the
belt and leg-strap, elastic and spring
contraptions sold by drug stores. surgi-
cal supply houses and many self-styled
Hernia Specialists''-make life miser
able for everybody who wears them.
And--even when drawn so tight you
can scarcely stand TO keep them on
they do no good whatever.
Instead they often do immense harm
they squeeze the rupture, often caus-
ing strangulation--dig into the pelvic
bone In front-press against the sensi
tive spinal column at the back.
The Plain Truth Is This.
Rupture-as explained in free
book--cant be relieved or cured-can't
even be kept from growing worse--un-
less constantly held I'm place. Just as
a broken bone cant knit" unless the
parts are held securely together.
And--just as a bandage splint is
the only way a broken bone can be held
the right kind of truss is the only
think in the world that can keep a rup-
ture from coming out.
what q difference it will make when
you get that kind of trust
And you can get exactly that kind of
truss--without risking a cent of your
money.
It's the famous Ciuthe Truss or CIuthe
Automatic Massaxer.
Far more than a trus--far more than
merely a device for holding the rupture
in place.
SO different from everything else for
rupture that 1t has received 1S separate
patents.
Thousands say it is as comfortable
as their clothing.
No belt. elastic belt or springs around
your waist, and no g-strapHAnothing
to pinch, chafe. squeeze or bind. Self
regulating. self-adjusting. II is held
| In position by suctfon--can't shift or
slip-the only truss n existence that is
honestly guaranteed to hold your rup-
ture every minute of the day.
| Sent on 80 Days Trial to Prove II.
We have so much faith in the Cluthe
Truss-we have seen 1t work wonders
| for SO many others--that we want to
make one especially for your CO Sc and
