Conscience"
This is connection with "Consci-
ence,' William Fox's powerful pho
todrama, starring Gladys Brockwell,
the girl of thousand expressions
at the Isis Theatre today.
This screen drama has been a won
derful attraction. It is without doubt
the best piece of work Miss Brockwell
has done. Conscience of her evil
deeds, her trifling with the affections
of men, comes to her as she is pre-
pairing for her wedding to the wealthy
Cecil Brooks. AS these scenes pass in
review before Miss Brockwell's mind
she acts them on the screen. In these
scenes is DR.. Norton who is the per-
sonifcation of the Devil. Finally Ned
Langley appears at the wedding and
begs her not to marry Cecil Brooks,
saying it will break his heart. Miss
Brockwell, appearing as Ruth Somers,
scorns Ned. Ned kills himself. Cecil
seeming Ruth's unfaithfulness and
her deceit, leaves her. Ruth, in dis
tress, begs Heaven to forgive her. At
that DR.. Norton, who has been with
Ruth during her receptions, urging
her on, departs and leaves Ruth in

Why Colds are dangerous.

1t is not only the serious diseases
that so often start with cold that
makes a cold the most dangerous of
the minor ailments, but the fact that
when a child has cold he is much
more likely to contract germ diseases
such as scarlet fever and diphtheria.
For this reason every cold should be
gotten rid of as quickly as possible.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
gained wide reputation for it's quick
cures of bad colds. You will look a
long time before you find a better
preparation for that disease.

One Of the most common foes is
Rheumatism, which attacks with re-

Too many people make the mis-
