NAVASSAR GIRLS WIN
MUSICLOVERS' PRAISE

Keeney's excellent vaudeville show,
coupled with the exceptionally fine
photoplay attractions, is still drawing
capacity audiences to the popular
playhouse and the citys playgoers arc
bestowing unstintingly their praise on
the program offered by the manage
ment. 1t is on the whole one of the
best shows offered here and the city
has responded enthusiastically to its
excellent features.
Chief among the vaudeville offerings
the sixteen NaVassar girls who are
giving most delightful concert
These young ladies, all of whom are
talented musicians, present a DIVERSE
fed program. While musical acts as
a rule do not make much of an i'm
preston, this speciality has the city
talking The concert is so pleasing
that the plays have to respond with
several encores each night and even
then the audience is loath to have
them give way to other attractions.
Making strong bid for premier
| honors. the Seven Cornellis thrill the
audience with their feats of wonder-
| full acrobatic skill and daring. Their
| act Is a revelation in tumbling and Is
| received with enthusiasm.
Tom Gillin gets his share of the
| credit for the strength of the pro-
gram, his songs. and funny stories
| winning the approval Of the patrons.

SIDE TALKS
When a Lie HELPS
BY RUTH CAMERON

Overstatement is the greatest foe
Of any cause.
Just as the church member who
is as mean and grasping and gener-
ally unchristian on week days as he
is pious on Sundays, does the church
more harm than many disbelievers,
so an overstatement within the ranks
of moral training does the cause more
harm than many statements on the
other side.
The particular overstatement
against which l am getting my guns
trained is this:
"A lie or piece of sharp dealing
never helped a man get on in
business"
A man who gives talks on conduct
made that statement to q group Of
young people.
To my mind that as it stands, it
is an overstatement. 49,.
What Every Business Man Knows.
No business man or woman can
blink the fact that there are times
when lie or a piece of unfair deal
ing would help him get on.
Take a clerk for instance. A GUS
TONER is looking at garment. She
is the kind of customer who always
wants a bargain. is this marked
down." she asks.

Mother Praises Remedy
- Thai ReHeVed Her BABY
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Is a Dependable Family

Nearly all the sickness incident to
a baby's life is due to constipation, or
inaction of the bowels. AT the first in
dtcation of ir~egularity in this import
ant function, relief should be afforded
promptly. A mild laxative should be
administered to gently carry" off the
congested waste and leave the sto-
mach and bowels free to perform their
allotted tasks.
OF the various remedies recon-
mended to relieve constipation, the
combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, as prescribed by DR.. w.
B. Caldwell and sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwell 8
Syrup Pepsin, is the most effective 1t
contains no opiate or narcotic drug,
is pleasant to the taste, mild and
gentle in action, and quickly brings
the desired relief In an easy, natural
manner.
Mrs. c. J. Douglas, Mason, ILL.,.
writes that she cannot say enough in
praise Of DR., Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
as a dependable family laxative. Little
Mary Eva had been badly constipated
until they tried DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin, which brought the first nat
ural relief the child had had in two
weeks
