A Remedy No Family
Should Do Without

No matter how healthy a human be-
ing may be, 1t is safe to say that not
many months are passed without some
obstruction Of the bowels; in other
words, constipation, even If only tempo
rary. The bloating, the dull feeling may
start after the evening meal. II a lax
ative is not taken that night 1t is certain
that sleep will not be sound, and you
will awaken unrefreshed.
Hence, 1t is important for you and for
all the members Of your family that a
good, reliable laxative be always kept
in the house for just such emergency
1t is sure to be needed, and when needed
you want 1t at hand. No family that Is
careful of its health can do without
such remedy. But the question OF
which remedy to have at hand Is also
OF vast Importance.

same. II you have corns and bunions
that everybody seems to step on, just
think of this happy TIZ man. He had

TIZ, and now he has no more tender,
raw, chafed, blistered, swollen, tired,

BREED THEATER.

An unusually strong dramatic pro- gramme is on at the Breed today, and is headed by the beautifully scenic western story entitled "The Old Stage Coach" This is a story with a pro- nounced atmosphere of the old days, dealing with the expert horsemanship of the driver of the coach. This ability is called into use in later years, just as it Is most needed, and makes a splendid feature for the film. The scenery is grand in the extreme, and calls forth the admiring comments of the audiences.
 ~Alkan Ike's Bride" is another of those screamingly funny Essanay pro- auctions, and keeps the house in up- rOaTs during it's entire presentation, while the romantic Biograph story displays foT the spectators some of the choicest bits of California ar chitecture and scenery.
 Miss Marshall delights her many hearers with her splendid xylophone playing, rendering Braga's Angels Serenade,' and a medley of popular airs. all of which catch the public's fancy.
