DAMAGED GOODS
BREAKS THEATER
ATTENDANCE RECORDS

All theater attendance records of
this city were broken yesterday in
the opening performance of Dam
aged Goods" which had it's first show
ings at the Grand theater during the
afternoon and evening. The two
evening performances found the
house packed and with overflow
crowds waiting in the lobby and on
the walk for chance at admittance.
A matinee performance today and
two showings tonight will close the
engagement in this city and every
indication points to the biggest run
film has ever had in this city.
Damaged Goods" is a photoplay
which cannot fail to appeal, because
it not only carries a most intensely
interesting plot, but also teaches a
lesson which is of interest to every
thinking American man and women.
1t IS written about one of those prob
lens which medical men and welfare
workers are just beginning to inves-
tigate seriously and which must be
handled in matter of fact manner
if one of the chief of modern evils is
to be abolished. ~=
In it's attack on quack and fake
doctors it has rendered a distinct SER
vice, for it brings out in a startling
way the harm which the ignorant in
dividual may bring upon himself
through his failure to follow the ad-
vice of reputable physicians. These
''cure-all" quacks have already fallen
into disrepute and damaged Goods"
has done it's share in accomplishing
their downfall. It is a photoplay
which should be studied by every
person who wishes to learn of the
evils which beset mankind, for it can
not fail to teach the lesson which it
claims to show. --s.-.. --

BAUDETTE FIREMEN
HURT AT RAINY RIVER

Baudette, Mimi, June "a. Charles
Wubbens and Robert Willett. mem
bers of the Baudette fire department,
narrowly escaped death at Rainy
River Wednesday, when they were
carried down by the walls Of the
Tyne building, which collapsed dur
ing a fire. Mr.. Wubbens was buried
under the debris and he escaped with
a cash six inches long in one of his
legs. Mr.. Willett received a nasty
cash over the eye and his hand was
severely lacerated. A falling chin
new weighing ton barely missed the
two men. The fire destroyed the
store and contents, but good work
by the Baudette and Rainy River de-
partments saved adjoining buildings.
Messrs. Wubbens and Willett are
under a Doctors care, but their in
juries are not serious.

"star-spangled banner a year and

flag vas presented by General Grant

ago 1t became the property of the
state of Massachusetts,, and, while re
posing in the statehouse, gradually
fell into a bad condition. This caused

woman, who has gained a reputation
as a restorer of old flags. The repair

Whether this was due to the fact that the stren uous campaign had depleted the funds of the candidates or whether each side was so confident of victory that it did not think an election day campaign was necessary, is matter of conjecture. but the latter surmise is probably true, judging from the satisfied smile that both democrats and republicans today.

An Effective Laxative
 For Growing Children
DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS
 A FAMILY REMEDY.

In children the slightest irregularity of the bowels has a tendency 10 dis turb the entire digestive system, and unless promptly remedied invites seri- ous illness. The experienced mother knows that by training her children to regularity in this respect, and when occasion arises administering a mild laxative. she will have little need for the doctors services.
 Mrs. Leo Weigand. 3251 Central Ave, x. $. Pittsburg. Pa. whose two boys, Frank and Joseph. are shown in the illustration, writes that she has found Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin a most effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself. and that she will always keep it in the house to use when needed. Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts easily and naturally. without gripping or other pain or discomfort. It is pleasant Co the taste so that chil- dren like it. and is equally effective on the strongest constitution.
