opinion of billiard, Hubbard and Dill

Wants to Lease Space.
Chairman Merritt yesterday had an
informal visit from an Alabama party
who left for Pensacola as soon as he
learned the bond issue had carried. He
wanted to lease wharf space for ware
house purposes. It is his idea to rent
this space to parties receiving and for
warding shipments.

You old people, Syrup Of Figs is
particularly for you. You who don't
exercise as much as you need to; who
like the easy chair. You, whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have also
become less active.
Don't regard Syrup Of Figs as physic,
It stimulates the liver and bowels just
as exercise would do if you took
enough of it. 1t is not harsh like salts
or cathartics. The help which Syrup Of
Figs gives to torpid liver and weak,
sluggish bowels is harmless, natural
and gentle.
When eyes grow dim, you help them.
Do the same with your liver and bow

became hero.
This encouraged Conan to write
more, and he kept getting buster and
buster with the pen while keeping up
his regular grind as an actor. Soon
his work was popular in the high
grade houses, and as he turned out
play after play his bank account grew
and grew.
He earned reputation and small
fortune with comical stuff that EQUIV

comedy. More recently, however, he
has shown that he really has the
straight dramatic sense. His Broad

tribute from no less an authority
than Arnold Bennett, the English
writer.
So Conan has concluded that as an
author and producer he can score a
greater success than as an actor.
That accounts for his decision TO qui,
