About Constipation.

Certain articles OF diet tend to check
movements Of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two Of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after SUPPER
Adyt.

The Eagles Wings will be pre-
scented at the Lyceum theatre Feb. IL
and IS, featuring Herbert Rawlinson
and Grace Carlyle: The story was
written by Rufus Steele. a prominent
San Francisco newspaper man, pri-
marily to introduce scenes bearing up
on the much discussed topic Of 'fn-
dustrial preparedness" Mr.. Steele
was permitted to enter munition
plants, navy yards and military posts
to secure authentic scenes illustrat-
ing the attendant results Of co-opera-
ton by the captains of industry in
helping Uncle Sam in time of need.
There are numerous views taken in
munition plants. The whole pur-
pose of the production is to demonstrate
the almost limitless resources upon
which the government may draw in
case of necessity. The Eagles Wings
is an inspiration to patriotism; an OBJ
ject lesson in preparedness.

propriate music. ,-.t
