Last Chance Today.

PLAY OF NIGHT AT PASTIME.
samson Is Story Of Powerful Man
but Not by Bible.
A tremendous photoplay has been
produced in Samson" which will be
at the Pastime for two days this
week.
This is not the biblical Samson,
but a powerful prototype that with
Herculanean force tears down the
fortune which he has amassed for
the woman he loves.
Samson" is a play of many thrill
ing episodes. Straight from one TO
the other, the action goes on and on
with ever-renewed force, sweeping
everything before it, until at last the
husband, with barred teeth, crushes
his enemy with his hands and gains
the love and respect Of the one wom-
an. his wife.
1t has been called a perfect drama
one that must be seen to be appre-
ciated. William Farnum, seen here
recently in the leading role in ''The
Spoilers" takes the part of the dock
hand who rises to wealth through the
strength of his hands. Samson is
Henry Bernsteins masterpiece and
for that reason II for no other it will
be well worth seeing. Bernstein does
not write things which are not worth
while.
Aside from its importance as a
great drama of finance, Sampson
presents a striking moral It is not
set out so that it may be read BY all
those who see; It is woven into the
story. subtly, powerfully for those
who understand the working of a
mind and body of Titanic force.
force. aroused to wrath. For It is in
"Samson's" anger that he arises to
the greatest heights, where he begins
to tear down the great structure
which he has spent his life to build
up.
The play tells the story of an am
bilious mother who forces her daugh-
ter to marry a man repulsive to her
for financial reasons only.
The girl, rebellious, refuses to ac-
cept the attentions of her crude and
unpublished husband-a former dock
hand-and accepts the advances OF
a fashionable man. The man, under
the guise of friendship, has managed
to amass fortune from the womans
husbands friendly market tips. The
crash comes when the husband sees
the man make public exhibitions OF
his conquest. After 1t is all over the
man goes forth a great man in the
eyes OF his wife and greater one IN
the eyes of the world.

ally to keep down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poison
Gus. toxin. called uric acid, which is
generated In the bowels and absorbed
ints the blood. 1t Is the function Of
the kidneys to filter this acid from
the blood and cast it out In the urine.
The pores of the skin are also a
means Of freeing the blood Of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed.
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and slug
gish and fail to eliminate this uric
acid which keeps accumulating and
circulating through the system
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge OF rheumatism
