Navy officials are considering a

.BACKACHE is
A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Disor-
ders, Rheumatism, and Sc
riOus Diseases Follow

There are other symptoms, such as
pains in the region of the kidneys, nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, tired and worn out
feeling, weak bladder, or urinary trou-
bles, which are just as dangerous, for
the slightest kidney arrangement if
neglected may develop into the deadly
Bright's disease, dropsy or diabetes.
1t is not only dangerous, but needless,
for You to suffer and endure the tor
lures of these troubles, for Croxone
promptly ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy for
kidney, bladder trouble and rheumatism,
than Croxone, because it reaches the
cause. 1t soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings, cleans
out the clogged-up pores, neutralizes and
dissolves the poisonous uric acid and
waste matter, that lodge in the joints
and muscles and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys
filter the poison from the blood and
drives it out of the system.
Three doses of Croxone a day for
few days is often all that is ever needed
to relieve the worst backache or over
come disagreeable urinary disorders.
You will find Croxone different from
other remedies. 1t is so prepared that
it is practically impossible to take it
without results. An original package
of Croxone costs but trifle, and all
druggists are authorized to return the
purchase price if it should fail in a
single case.-Advt.

II is gravely held and contended that
the age Of miracles is past, and yet
what greater miracle has the human
mind ever conceived than that human or
animal life, or the semblance of human
and animal life, should be created and
dead should be made to rise, TO talk and
to walk by the evidence OF our FIVE
senses. That shadow shapes as real and
substantial to all intents and purposes
as flesh and blood itself can be thrown
on the screen. at the word of Edison, and
be made to talk and strut and play their
several parts as living men and women.
This is exactly what can be seen at the
opera house on Tuesday, Sept 10th.
Several charming playlets are shown,
where the actors and actresses go
through their several parts and talk just
as if they We're before the audience in
flesh and blood. A complete minstrel
show in two parts is given, the end
men tell their Jokes, the soloists sing
the latest songs, and the dancers both
fancy and clog, dance until one can
hardly believe that they are looking at
a motion picture production. Twelve
pictures are shown among which are in
Guided, musical comedy, light opera,
farce comedy, fairy plays and melo-
drama.
Only one performance is given at the
matinee and one at night. Patrons of

of the town. Portage has 5000 popula-

government. The three commissioners
who govern the town have passed a
nine o'clock curfew ordinance, with the
unusual recommendation that steps be
taken for supplying the children with
some wholesome' recreation for earlier
hours of the evening.
| As a result of this action OF the coun-
Gil mass meeting of parents and others
interested was held, and committee
was appointed to provide some whole
some recreation. This was difficult, but
the town pulled together to solve the
problem. The local company of the
Wisconsin national guard offered its
armory rent free; the city furnished the
heat the business men raised the
money for the incidental expenses; and
volunteers were secured TO direct a
grand march, basket ball, baseball and
other indoor games. A committee of
wide awake women were chaperones.
The opening evening was attended by
500 children between nine and sixteen,
and by scores of patents, and the show
was all over by curfew time.
In addition to this opening of the
armory large empty room is being
secured and fitted with baskets, and
keys given 10 the chief of police Groups
of young people wishing the rooms for
games will apply TO the chief, naming
their own director or chaperone. The
