And soon the rummies must separate
To meet their great disaster.

But some Of them may face about
And vote tor prohibition.
Then clear the track and don't get

For pros are in the saddle;
They'll press the fight and soon Wen
The ants an skedaddle.

And boozers take tumble.

y VERY one, all the way from Cal
T. cutta to Calgary, either has writ
ten u moving picture play, or has
one in his mind. And the greatest
OF these are those that are still in their
minds.
The scenario is the latest and most
approved method for lifting the mort
gage from the Dear Old Home; 1T is
the foundation on which all modern
dreams of achievement are builded: it
is the ultimate hope for fame and sue
cess.
"Some day." every one says, II will
write the prize scenario" and the as
surance that this prize scenario is
hidden away in his brain gives the
dreamer a finer epicurean relish for
the efforts of others. "Humph," he
will say after Witnessing u moving
picture play, 81 can write one bet
ter than that myself"
1t was with this assurance of
greater achievement that Daysey
Mayme Appleton had enjoyed the
moving picture efforts of others. She
could write a better play herself; she
said it fully five hundred times.
All of us all the way from Calcutta
TO Calgary who have sent prize seem
arios away and enjoyed our dreams of
spending the money they brought us

when the postman wakes us up. Day
yey Mayme experienced it when Bet

famous producers had kept her seem

good points, and in her next visit TO
a moving picture theater her suspic-
ions We're confirmed.
Betty was young and pretty" she
sobbed, "and i disguised her as an
old maid that she might command q

Mothers Advice
To Her Daughter
A Real Live Doll to Fondle IL Womans'
Greatest Happiness.

One Of the most important matters about
which women concern themselves is their
future status as q grandmother. And she
IS wisdom itself who knows Of or learns
of that famous remedy, Mothers Friend.
This is an external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. 1t GER
tainly has wonderful influence, allays all
fear, banishes all pain, is a most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits her to go through the
period happy in mind, free in body and
thus destined to anticipate womans great
est happiness as nature intended she should.
The action Of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive to ex-
pansion. Thus all strain and tension upon
the nerves and ligaments is avoided, and,
in place Of a period of discomfort and con-
sequent dread, 1t Is a season of calm repose
and joyful expectation.
There is no nausea, no morning sick
ness, no nervous twitching, none Of that
constant strain known to so many women,
hence Mothers Friend is really one Of the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
hat Of any druggist at s1.00 a bottle, and
is sure to prove of inestimabie value, not
only upon the mother. but upon the health
and future Of the child. Write to Bradheld
Regulator Co., 1S2 Lamar Bldg, Atlanta,
Ca, for their book to expectant mothers.

SOLDIER EIDDLERS

The Orpheum Theater, this week,
claims as one of its features an attrac-
tion that is rafting novelty and one
that Is bound to create more talk about
the city than anything that has ap-
peared here in long time. The Old
Soldier Fiddlers" are just what their
name implies, quartet of fiddlers who
served in the Civil War and who are
whitened with age. They fiddle indi-
vidually, and collectively many of the
old time jigs and dances that bring
back memories of the early sixties
when, Kidding was adding and there
wasn't any such thing as violin.
Three soldiers who fought with the
North and two who fought with the
South have laid away their arms and
taken up the old fiddle, travelling to-
gether in one of the most emphatic
pictures of forgotten hatred that the
public has had since the war The
patriotic air that hovers over their
work is far and away ahead of every
thing that has been presented behind
the footlights. 1t has the ring of real
patriotism and usually brings the au-
dience to its feet. The mere sight of
these old warriors, whose ages range
from 70 to 80 years, is enough to in
spire an American audience and when
they get the old fiddles to sending out
the old-ttme tunes the house goes wild
with enthusiasm. They appear in a
scene representing the Gettysburg bat
tlefield. as 1T appeared July l, 1918, at
