"Back of the Man" The drama has
to do with the fortunes of one Larry
Thomas, a raw country lad, who is
given = place in the Great Eastern
Casualty Company by Alvin P.
Brooks, the president, on account of
an old friendship for the boys faith
er. He is friendless, and his country
ways make him the butt of the Office
staff. A particularly cruel joke that
is played on Larry wins him the sym
pathy of Ellen Holton, young
stenographer. Ellen Holton is a girl
of superior mental ability and true
nobility of character. She holds her
self rather aloof from her pleasure
loving associates, refusing, on prin-
ciple, the many offers of gay supper
parties that her beauty brings to
her.
Helen in many ways assists Larry,
who profits by her cleverness, max
ing rapid progress in the company.
At last he attracts the attention of
the president, who makes him his
secretary. Naturally the friendship
between Ellen and Larry ripens into
love, but Ellen hesitates to avow her
feeling for fear of placing an imped-
iment in Larry's upward path. When
Larry has reached the second place
in the company break in their rela-
tions occurs. Alvin Brooks has an
only daughter, Muriel, who has
given him much concern by her way
wardness and selfishness. He deter
mines to marry her to Larry, in
whom he has implicit confidence,
with view to settling her for life.
Muriel who is in the center of the
fast set, has run into debt and has
barely escaped arrest during raid
on an opium joint, sees in this en-
gagement her only hope of getting
any money from her father. She ac-
quiesces and breaks prior engage
ment with "Sid" Wilson, an un-
scrupulous man about town. The
father is so pleased with the success
Of his plan that he turns over $780,
600 in securities for the benefit of
his prospective son-in-law and
daughter.
Larry is torn with conflicting
emotions ambitions and his love
for Ellen-while Ellen does her best
to conceal her grief and disappoint-
ment. On the eve of the wedding
Wilson who is in financial difficult
ties, under threats of telling her
father Of the raid on the opium den
persuades Muriel to open the Office
safe and hand him some securities.
They> enter the presidents private
office and open the safe, only to find
the securities have been moved.
Wilson has brought revolver with
him, and Muriel in a moment Of fear
seizes it, and in struggle to regain
its possession Wilson shoots Muriel
dead.

SALUTE THE FLAG

The following general order was issued by Gen. J. J. Pershing and ap- plies to civilians as well as soldiers. Headquarters Southern Department
 Fort Sam Houston, Texas, April 8, 1917. General Order No. 13.
 The Nations Flag should always be the supreme symbol of that lofty pa triotism, without the compelling in spiration of which the Republic would not long endure.
 In times of peace our people are prone to neglect those outward evid- ences of patriotic sentiment which in dicate a constant solicitude for the Nations integrity. Therefore, both in peace and war, and in prepartion for war, the high duty of the Army to stimulate and encourage love of coun- try among our citizens should ever prompt faithful adherence to the external forms and ceremonies of re- spect for the National Colors. Whenever an individual, either of the army or in civil life, fails to pay the prescribed honors to the Flag, his patriotism at once falls under just suspicion. It is therefore ordered that, during the playing of the National Anthem, either at retreat, or other official occasion, wherever troops are stationed silence will be maintained, both work and play will cease, vehicles will halt and both officers and men therein will alight, and all persons in the military service, will render the prescribed honors.
 All children should early be taught to assume the required position of respect toward the Flag, and should learn from their own parents the full meaning of this fundamental lesson in patriotism.
 Civilians, of whatever race or na- tionality, within sight or hearing of the Flag and music at retreat, will be courteously enlightened, should they fail to stand, uncovered, in respectful attitude, and, in any case of disre- spect, the offender will be promptly escorted off the post or beyond the limits of the camp.
 The ceremony of Escort of the Color will be held at frequent intervals and will be made as solemn and impress i've as possible under the regulations. As soon as recruits join their reg iments for duty with the Colors, the Escort will be given for their benefit, as the crowning rite of their entry into the service.
 A rigid observance of the outward expression of devotion and honor U the National Emblem and the Nation al Anthem is enjoined upon all per sons, in the knowledge that the rever- ential attitude will be to him who in herits allegiance to the Star Spangled Banner, a benediction, and will bring to the alien who comes under it's pro- tecting folds a new hope an da new inspiration.

People with bad backs and weak kidneys are apt to feel old at sitxy. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Phoenix case:
 D. M. Lewis, 76O E. Pierce Street, Phoenix, Arizona, says: My back ached most all the time. It was so weak l could hardly left anything. l was all tired out when I got up in the morning. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and got some. They rid me of the trouble and made me feel fine. Now I seldom have any trouble with my kidneys" Statement given May 1, 1913).
 Still Uses DOan's
 On February 26, 1917, Mr. Lewis said: "I still use Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally and lalthough am eighty years old I feel fine. Doan's Kidney Pills keep my kidneys strong and active. There are few men of my age with kidneys as healthy as mine"
