TROLLING STONES"
 BREEZY COMEDY

Weaving @ web of rom ance about
 the commonplaces of 8 great city, the whole of it done In the humor-
 ous and satirical manner for which the Selwyn plays are famous Roll ing. Stones the newest play from the
 hand of Edgar Selwyn will be seen
 for the first time in this city at the Lyceum theater when it is produced
 the week of January 15 by the Wal
 ter Naylor Players. It is a story of
 Chicago and has the tang of the great
 city combined with the wiles of love
 rampant and despair rejuvenated.
 Rolling Stones" tells of two young
 men, who, from an extreme degree
 of irpoverishment and desperation
 make a rapid rise to fortune on the
 principal that the world owes every
 one a living If they have the nerve to
 take it. Jericho w. Braden takes
 over the business of MT. Hewitt, a manufacturer of candy, on the death
 of the latter, with the proviso in
 his uncles will that Braden shall
 marry the testator's neice. It was stipulated, how wever, that the wedding |sshotlld take place provided the girl
 was willing. Braden, being already
 married, goes to Chicago the better
 to"earry out the wills provision, and
 takes a room in boarding house un-
 der an assumed name. The boarding
 house is kept by "the girrs' aunt and
 there he meets a youth with nerve,
 but t%2no funds, who is being evicted
 A railroad wreck at Omaha, leads to
 fears that the much valued Braden
 is on board and has lost his life. This gives the impecunious youth an ! S3 Te A~jo t~+S

 to find that his victim Is pennf1ess The two join. forces. of offense and to the front as the much sought Braden. The real Braden enjoys the fun knowing that "the girl" will solve his problem by marrying the im- poster wealth or no wealth. The plans of the rolling stones'' work splendidly for 8 time until Hewitt's s
 lawyer begins to be suspicious of the young men who are seemingly mak- ing such success of the candy busi- ness. Things reach a climax when they realize their imposition Is dis covered and they attempt to rob the safe only to find out that real burglar has been there ahead of them. The situation becomes more serious when they are surprised by the presence of the. real Braden hacked by the police, but their clever wit comes to their aid and enables them to not only clear themselves but win a partnership in the business their efforts have so materially aided and furthermore to win eternal hap piness for them both in the form of a couple of girls who never lose their confidence in the interesting, young
 crooks when things look blackest for l them. sf-

An Effective Laxative
 For Growing Children
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Highly Recommended as
 Family Remedy.

In children the slightest irregularity Of the bowels has a tendency to 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-, N. s.. Pittsburg, Pa., whose two boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown in the illustration, writes that she has found Dr. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin a most effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself, and that she will always keep 1t 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, with out gripping or other pain or discom- fort. It is pleasant to the taste so that children like it, and is equally effec- tive on the strongest constitution.

That Exasperating Person
BY RUTH CAMERON

She asked man who has reputa- ton for knowing a good deal about political conditions what the demo- cratic party in the South stood for. His eye lit up, he leaned forward, here was a subject to his liking. That isn't 8 big question:" he said, and was about to go on at length, when she broke in:
 Isn't 1t? There is so much to pol 1tics and so many things I want to know about. There's the tariff and free trade. I'm dying to have some one explain all about that. Which do you believe in?''
 He Didn't Try to Tell Her.
 The look on that mans face was a study. He gave a vague answer and fell into kind of f1abbergasted si- lence.
 Then there is the type who ask for mai questions for politeness' sake and either break in on your answer or cant eye that they are not listening to you.
 And then there is the type who are so full of their own affairs that they ask you a question about yours and before you can answer tell you about theirs. .s. sF.c Docss't Care What Happens te Your Little Girl. For instance. "I1ow is your little

 Janet awoke early after an unbrok- en rest, feeling eager to be at her duties. She made a genuinexstir at the women's convention, actually achieving crisp little speech in which she told them of the progress she hoped to win with her magazine Woman" in It's broadened and se- curely financed scope.
 The day passed swiftly and with tri- umph to Janet, who was hailed on all sides as "our powerful new lead er." At night she was guest of honor at dinner given by women whose experience covered many years of campaigning for their sex's freedom and betterment. Yet Janet held her own.
 It was past midnight when she at last found herself with flushed face and sparkling eyes in her hotel room There were telegrams from both Walt and Roy Niooll. Walters was mere- ly message of love and cheer. Nicoll wired congratulations, having read reports of the convention and her satisfactory share in it. She could come back next morning. he said, and begin her editorship in earnest. Or If she chose to have g. little rest and recreation first, she was to stay as long as anything interested her.
 Her heart sang as she prepared for bed. She was pleased that Nicoll had telegraphed instead of writing, and that he had said pleasant, com- fortable things without being too per- sonal or eager for her return. Of the two, Janet felt she was the more inn patient.
 As she snapped out her light and laid her tired, happy body between the smooth sheets, her mind flew to her home and to Walt. Was he com fortable? Had he proper food? Was his work going well? Had his latest story been accepted? Was he burn ing the midnight and later than mid night current in a mad effort to finish something? Was his fine courage still intact? All this she thought of. What she did NOT realize was that her very last consciousness before she sunk to sleep was devoted to thoughts of Roy Nicoll
