When December thirty-tirst shall come
And I'm still in this plight,
And likely TO continue so,
guess it is all right.

All safely in some bank.

And have that other home.

Why Suffer
From Migraine or

r.J.J. Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease does not shorten life.
but does not appear TO be durable. Suffer
ers from this a1iiction are condemned TO
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeksuntil they are forty years OF age, after
which the attacts are less frequent. and
dnally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are all that 40 Is
possible to suggest, while care in the diet Is
the best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
anti-kamnia tablets when the frst symp-
toms appear, and one anti-kamnia tablet
every two hours during the attack shortens
It, eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.

h~esitated, but urged on he braced his forefeet and
prepared to reach the bottom in safety. Every
thing moved swiftly, the camera men ground their
machines and the director shouted encouragement
through his megaphone. But about twenty feet
from the bottom the horse caught his foot in a rock
assure, stumbled and hurled Miss Little over his
head. She flew through the air head first, landing
in a clump of mesquite bushes more than ten yards
away.
Spectators rushed to her side, expecting to find
her either dead or seriously injured, but aside from
the shock and a number of scratches she escaped
unhurt. The dumb actor in the scene was less for
tunate, suffering two broken legs, and had to be
shot.
This untoward incident in making the scene
caused a complete revision Of the scenario.
Miss Gertrude Mccoy is known as another dare
devil of the screen. She gives a good account of
herself in every branch of athletics, besides being
askillful driver of a motor car. Miss Mccoy drives
her own machine and has used 1t to advantage in
many of the pictures in which she is starred. Her
most recent exploits have been in connection with
what is known In the movie vernacular as water
stuff Strange as it may seem, the stunts in her
latest picture do not show up with the same dan
gerous thrills that really characterized their max
ing. This is often the case in motion pictures
what looks hard is often easy.
FooIhardiness Meant Injury.
A "water-stuff" picture which almost put Miss
McCoys life in jeopardy was taken for "The isle
Of Love" and was made near Jacksonville, Fla. In
one of the early scenes of the p~hotoplay the star
yields to the temptation to go bathing in a pool
upon a rocky bit Of coast The shore at the point
where the picture was taken happened to be made
up of myriads Of shells and pebbles compressed
into a crumbllng, jagged stone formation. The wa
ter, moreover, was far more shallow than Miss Nc
Coy suspected. "a
Despite the warning of her director, Edwin Mid
dleton, she jumped boldly into the water, cutting
her feet, ankles and legs, severely. She was too
good a picture player, however, to stop while the
camera was grinding. Although suffering from a
number Of extremely painful cuts she bravely fin
ished the scene. This episode, which certainly
was not down on the program, laid her up for near
ly q week.

in which Billie Burke is appearing, a perfectly good
seven passenger automobile is driven straight out
into the Atlantic ocean off Palm Beach, Fla. This
may be termed recklessness or pure extravaganza,
according to ones point of view. Needless to say
the damage done to the car by its immersion in the
salt water was considerable.
To prove that the film manufacturers aren't the
only people who can be reckless, Miss Burke wore
a Lucille creation that had been specially designed
for her use in the picture, and utterly regardless
Of the certain ruin Of the frock she hoped out of
the runaway auto AS it cleared the first line Of
breakers, found herself up to her knees in the surf,
laughed gayly and then waded ashore.
Auto Jumps the Gap.
In order to eliminate as much danger as pos
sible, this scene was carefully staked beforehand
that il, everything was simplifed. A sloping plat
form was erected at the place where the leap was
to be made and well REINFORCED. Across the ditch
some thirty or forty feet away a pile of brush wood
had been placed to break the fall as the car landed.
Down a sloping piece of ground approaching the
jumping-off place Miss King came with lightning
speed in her little machine and took the leap while
the cameras clicked. She landed without serious
mishap in the pile Of brush, and beyond a severe
shaking up and a few bruises was none the worse
for her experience.

Brkight and Maher have been stationed at the bridge for years. When
Birkght first got the assignment he was attracted to the tramp pigeons that
roost and breed in the overhead trusswork and in the Orders under the bridge
floor. He made friends with them.
Later Maher came to the crossing alternating with Birkight. He, too,
made friends with the pigeons. They seemed to demand this friendship of
him, swooping down on the crossing when the man in uniform put up his
umbrella.

Druqqist's Hard Luck.

An amateur poultryman received a
shipment Of fancy perfume atomizers
for the holiday trade.
After he had tried a few on his
friends and had arranged the stock on
the shelves he went home to say good
night to his hens and to gather what
eggs had been laid during the day.
He reached into one nest and felt
fur, which turned out to be fur of a
genuine willow pussy in the full flush
and vigor of young ~pussyhood.
He says he didn't mind his expert
enc in the chicken coop half so much
as he does the foolish comments Of
business acquaintance who keep talk
ing about "faunal atomizers."
