not agree alike with different persons.

given a mild laxative to help the bow

purgative, for these should never be
given to children. nor anything like
salts, pills, ETC.. What the child re-
quires is simply a small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which. In the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to con-

Los Angeles, Feb. 2s.-With loss
of probably $5.00O,000 and toll OF
seven human lives since Wednesday,
Southern California began to recover
from the effects OF the worst storm in
its history. Swept by wind and rain
for three days most of the territory be-
tween the Tehachapi mountains sand
the Mexican line was flooded, but
while nearly all of the towns affected
remained isolated. progress was made
toward re-establishing wire and rail
communication.
According to an estimate made by
A. c. Hansen, assiCtcnt city engineer,
Los Angeles was damaged to the ex-
tent of at least $1.500.00o. One hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars repre-
sented the damage to the city streets
alone. The balance represented losses
sustained by railroads and by citizens
who lost their homes which were
swept away by the floods with all
their household effects.
Except in the vicinity of Pomona,
this county. where young groves suf-
fered severely, orange growers report
ed comparatively little damage.
Ranches and small farms in the low
lands were inundated but no reliable
data could be obtained as to the losses
sustained by them.
Railroads report that the collapse OF
big bridges over the Los Angeles river
in this city and the washing out OF
heavy spans elsewhere made it uncer-
tain when traffic could be resumed.
More than 100 homes were destroyed
in Los Angeles alone by the torrents
that rushed through the Los Angeles
river and the Arroyo Seco. As the

ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just

CHE GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY"

Long and frequent discussions nave
taken place as TO the possibility Of a
legitimate actor OF established success
meeting with equal approval should he
appear on the screen without special
training. The arguments have been rs
useless as the debates of the ancient
philosophers who spent days discussing
why q fish could be placed in a trimming
pail of water without causing any of the
liquid TO overflow. OF course, YOU know
the result. When they tried II the water
spilled over quickly enough. In the case
of legitimate actors and photo plays a
little empiriclsm proved equally valuable.
The stunt had practically never been
tried.
At last theatrical manager has put on
a legitimate drama, with cast composed
entirely of screen novices, but stage vet
Grams The resulting motion picture more
than justifes the effort. The manager is
Daniel " Arthur, the play is "The Great
Diamond Robbery and the players are
Wallace Eddinger, Gail Kane, Eliza Proc
tor Otis. Martin j. Alsop, Stapleton Kent
Charles j. Ross, Frank Hardy, Pnrnell y.
Pratt, Herbert Darlington, Edward Gil
lespie. Percy Standing, Philip Sheffield
Dorothy Arthur and r. f. Graham
The work of these players on the legiti-
mate stage is too well known to need
comment The interesting thing is that, in
spite OF the fact that not one of them had
ever before appeared in motion pictures,
the film is one OF the best acted that we
have ever seen
"The Great Diamond Robbery" IS a
melodrama which was produced in New
York about twenty years ago, when II
ran for about year in the American
Theatre. II is adorned with the regular
melodrama features. such as beautiful
vilainess, working girl heroine and a
gallant detective who foils assorted Grim
inals and marries the working girl. But
the story is nevertheless one that holds
the attention.

passion for her city and her people, how
ever. that she killed the man she loved
I'm order to deliver them from him. She
escaped and reached her home, where she
was the idol Of the populace, but her heart
was filled with bitterness.
Tie genius Of that remarkable director
u. w. Griffith. stands out everywhere in
the picture. The big battle scenes, such
as the several attempts Of the Assyrians
10 storm the walls Of Bethulia and the
burning of Holofernes's camp, keep the
spectators on the edge of their seats, while
the most commonplace incidents of the
story are as carefully set and acted as the
important ones.
The part of Judith is played by the
beautiful Blanche Sweet, and the only
flaw in the picture is that she covers her
golden hair with black wig. The film Is
one about which it is hard to say anything
without lapsing into a string OF superla-
tlves. It is so great & contribution to the
best in dramatic effort that theatre goers
should feel indebted TO Mr.. Griffith for the
marvellous thing he has produced
