of laughter. Junior Follies' furnish
ed the laughs the first half week. The
show opening tomorrow has for its
feature Fay, Two Coleys and Fay, the
blackface quartet who have just re-
Gently returned from abroad. The act
starts off with a laugh and continues
on it's humorous way for 20 minutes.
Their singing is notable part of the
act. The Gardner Trio, two sisters and
a brother, will be seen in series of
novelty and society dances that are eX-
ceptionally we'll executed. This is the
only act on the bill where comedy is
shy. They make up for this. however,
by style and grace. Inez McCauley &
Co., will offer comedy skit entitled
THE Girl From Childs." The lines are
witty and brilliant and the situations
funny. The act appeals especially to
the people who have seen and eaten in
of the many Childs restaurants. The
Van Der keors, "Quack Illusionists,
have a side splitting act Their intro
duction of Felix" the mind reading
duck being exceptionally funny. The
act carries its own scenery to make
the surroundings humorous. Ken

tire on Engaged, Married and Di-
vorced," which seldom fails to get
many laughs from the people who
know the trials and tribulations OF
married life. Coming Sunday at the

AT SPENCER SQUARE.

Last evening large audience wit
messed Madame X" at the Spencer
Square in spite Of the bad weather.
Madame X" is truly one of the
strongest of the popular dramas thus
far screened. The play consists of the
original cast as produced by Henry w.
Savage. including Dorothy Donnelly,
who created the title role of Madame
X" The grief and suffering OF wo-
man forced on life's hard road, not so
much through her own wrongdoing as
that of an unrelentless and neglect
full husband, is bound to stir the emo
ton OF all who witnessed it. Through
long years of suffering and separa-
ton the strong mother love still pre-
dominates, revealing the truer nature
of Madame X" In the end we find
her coming into her own not too late
for her own JOY but too late for her
husband who really forced the years
OF suffering upon her, to make amends
for his untimely mistake. Madame X"
will be shown again tonight.

DOES YOUR LIVER HAVE TO
BE J0LTED BEFORE

II so, You are in Danger
Quit Taking Purgatives

The habit of constipation is what
ages young people and often makes
people show their age so plainly in
face, in loss Of the faculty for quick,
clear thinking and in acquiring a
t,ained or hard expression, and an
irritable and pessinlstic outlook on
life and people.
More often than is realized it is the
main thing responsible for such ills
as hemorrhoids, gall stones and the
more serious disorders of liver,
stomach aid kidneys.
Lack of proper exercise is partly
responsible for this condition, but one
or the other of two things must bear
much of the responsibility. Neglect is
one of them-the sufferer is either
afraid to dose up IS they say, with
constipation cures, or else they don't
pay enough attention to the matter to
look for relief If neglect is not the
cause, then the taking of too much
medicine is. They have taken so much
Calomel or other habit-forming or min
eral purgatives that they've got their
livers and bowels into the habit of
waiting to be jolted before they will
act. And, as it takes a harder Jolt
each time TO produce results, they've
got to increase the dose constantly to
get the effect.
The only possible way to persuade
these organs to resume the work ma
ture intended they should perform nat
urally every day of your life Is to make
them healthy themselves; in other
words, to cure them of the drug habir
