ut was Scandals popularity that
caused Miss Weber to favor stories
which contained a message. The dis
covery that such pictures present a
powerful appeal to the mind while
also appealing to the heart caused
her to specialize upon pictures Of this
type. 1.-The Price of Good Time, "
idle Wives" and Even AS You and
Pare examples of how she has sue
eeeded.
''Lois Weber, who also enacts one
of the central roles in this produc-
ton, based her story upon an argu-
ment advanced by one of the editorial
writer's in the country. According to
this man, if you could stand behind
one of the-club windows Of any city
you could hear more poisonous and
dangerous gossip in half an hour
than you could hear at at sewing
circle during the whole afternoon.
"In Scandal Mongers" at the Rex
tonight Miss Weber shows the result
of carelessly uttered gossip; the mesh
of circumstances which ruins the
lives of William Wright, his wife,
ROBBERY Gordon, and his Wife, Daisy
Gordon's sister, and John Austin.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasion
ally If You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can pake mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all. rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts, OF
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage OF
attended by sensation of scalding
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it nc
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can.
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

Among the students this year at
the Misses Howe and Marot school in
Thompson, is little Wanda Turezy-
novice, aged 9, the daughter of
Count Turczynowicz, Polish noble
man, and his American wife, who is
widely known throughout the United
States both as lecturer and as an
authoress. Her recent narrative,
"When the Prussians Came to Po-
land" relates her experiences when
at the beginning of the war she, with
her children, Wanda included, was
caught in her home by the foodtide of
the German invasion of the ancient
kingdom of Poland
This book, which is one of the
worthwhile accounts of a particular
phase of the present war is a straight
forward narrative, terribly real, deal
ing with the Countess experiences in
the heart of the eastern war zone.
Wildly it relates her experiences
while engaged in Red Cross work,
deals with the difficulties under which
she labored, and of the horrors that
surrounded her on every side. Of
particular interest is that portion of

Hampton was pushed off the dock at
New London early Wednesday morn

serter from the army, whom he was
about to put on one of the govern

vigilance somewhat, having reached
his journeys end, and Wilson caught
him unawares. The soldier made a
dash for liberty, but was stopped by
another soldier.
The sheriff was pulled out, after
which he went to police headquarters
and was allowed to hang out in the
boiler room to dry. The deputy has
been knocked out by lightning, has
been injured several times while do

to drown him. But he is back on the
job after each occurrence as smiling
