tended engagement. was presented by
the Columbia Players at the Columbia
Theater last evening. TO the manifest
delight of the usual large audience. The
play is one of those pretty exotics of the
type with which John Drew is SO ia
miliarly associated. 1t has plot, of
course but improbable life runs as
smoothly and sweetly through it to a ro-
mantle close as a summer love dream.
The Marchioness of Castlejordan,
mother of three charming daughters. all
of whom probably We're less welcome than
son would have been. determined not
to be cheated by nature, has given her
children boys names and reared them
in masculine garb. One of them, when
the opportunity offers. slips away in her
disguise to London. gets in a row and is
rescued by a delightful young man who
proves to be cousin. and who even
tually grows into a patient but persistent
lover. He follows her to her home in

IBACKACHE IS 4
DANGER SIGNAL
kidney Troubles, Bladder Disor-
ders, rheumatism, and Serious
Diseases Follow,

The kidneys get clogged up, the
same as the bowels do. Then
they become sluggish, and only
filter or strain out a part of the
waste or poisonous matter, all the
rest remaining in the blooJ and
poisoning the system.
AS soon as you notice the first
indications of backache, pains in
the sides, or aches around the
kidneys, or If the urine is light
and pale, dark colored, cloudy,
thick, or has an offensive odor,
burns, Is scalding or irregular in
passage, take a little Croxone
three times day and end these
troubles before they become more
serious.
There is no more effective rem
edy known for the prompt relief
and cure of kidney, bladder trou-
bles and rheumatism, than Crox-
one. 1t soaks right into the kid
peys through the walls and lining;
cleans out the clogged up pores;
neutralizes and dissolves the poi
sonous uric acid and waste mat
ter that lodge in the joints and
muscles, and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and makes the
kidneys filter the poison from the
blood and drive 1t out of the sys-
tenn.
A few days' use Of this new
scientific preparation is often all
that Is ever needed to end the
worst backache, or overcome the
most annoying urinary disorders.
You will find Croxone entirely
different from other remedies. It
Is SO prepared that it Is practically
impossible to take 1t without re-
suits. An original package costs
but trifle. and all druggists are
authorized to return the pur-
chase price II it should fail in a
single case.
