THOUGHT II WAS A H0fbUY

SIGNALLING the full flower of mo-
ton picture dramatics. a gentleman
ly press agent passed around this
story in Washington:
believing he had suddenly come
upon a band of desperate train rob.
bers in the act of holding up an on
coming passenger train on the Chesa-
peake Beach railroad, f. w. Sans
bury, Deputy Sheriff of Prince
George county, Maryland. put
TO rout eighteen moving picture act
Ors. who were staging a sold-up at
Richie station. lie sent shower of
bullets into their midst from con-
cealed position behind clump of
trees.
Only the quick realization of the
actors in the film drama of what was
really passing in the mind of the
deputy sheriff saved some of them
from Delng ShOt dead.
Everything was going nicely
with the moving picture actors. The
ties had ben piled on the rails in true
western style, the acknowledgement
were properly masked and We're
sneaking through the bushes as the
Onrushing train, chartered for the
purpose, hove into sight just west o.
Richie station. The minute the en-
gineer saw the pile of ties he was to
stop his train and the masked high
men were to order everybody to the
ground and search their pockets and
clothing while the moving picture
man took in every movement.
'All was set, the highwaymen hal
sneaked down through the woods,
the train was coming with rush.
when crack went two pistol shots
and a couple of bullets whizzed close
to the heads OF the supposed high
waymen. Crack went the pistol
again. The great western train rob-
berry became scene of confusion
wilder than ever graced a real hold
up. With one accord, passengers,
train crew. everybody connected
with the play made one wild dash for
safety, while the Maryland deputy
sheriff emptied both revOlvcrs. Then
explanations were in order, and the,
deputy stayed to watch the picture,
which he had SO rudely spoiled, TAX

Headaches and Their Treatment.

In treating headache, there is one
safe rule to follow:-Never use any
medicine containing acetanilid or similar
soal-tar derivatives without the advice
of your physician. They may give
temporary relief, but they almost never
reach the cause of the trouble and are
likely to weaken the heart. The most
common form of headache, frequently
called sick headache, arising from a
disordered stomach, may be avoided
by care in the choice of food. Shun
pastry, candy and rich food, take time
to eat, chew your food thoroughly and
keep your bowels in good condition by
using one-half to one teaspoonful OF
L. T. Atwood's Medicine after each
meal. This old reliable remedy has
been perfect blessing to thousands
for sixty years. Get bottle today,
and prove it for yourself. Any dealer
has it for thirty-Ave cents, or we mail
a free sample on request. L. F. Medi
Cine Co.. Portland. Idc.
