If back hurts or Bladder bothers,

When you wake up with backaChe

il generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyZed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels:
removing all the body's urInous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache. dizzy spells; your stomach
sours. tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy.

sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good. relia Bile

glass of water before breakfast for.
a few days and your kidneys will

made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with Iithis

"The Whispering Chorus"
at Regent Next Week

Special interest attaches to the pre-
sentation at the Regent Theater. next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the
great Cecil B. DeMille super-produc-
tion. THE Whispering Chorus" pic
turized for Paramount by Jeanie Mac
pherson, because of the brilliant ar
ray of screen players which it pre-
sents Among these are Kathlyn
Williams, Raymond Hatton, Elliott
Dexter. Edythe Chapman, Tully Mar
shall and James Neill. and others. all
of whom are familiar to lovers of
high-class Paramount and Aircraft
pictures.
The theme of the picture is one of
supreme self-sacrifice, and in its de-
velopment to q logical and dramatic
conclusion, the highest artistry is
displayed. The elements of interest
and intense heart appeal are there.
and it is inevitable that the gamut of
human emotions will be run. The plot
revolVes about a man who is convict
ed of his own murder. whose wife had
remarked in the belief that she is
a widow, and he chooses death to sac
riticing her happiness which the ad-
mission OF his identity must inevitably
encompass. The picture was produced
by Mr.. DeMille with lavish detail. and
it is said to be one of the most pre-
tentious Paramount offerings thus far
made.

German Grip Weakens

IT SEEMS to be the Germans
who are now wearied with
much fighting. Their attack
slackens. it loses much of its
force, less ground is gained. and
there is more Intellectual fighting,
1t is the old story An offensive
after six or seven days of furious
assault comes almost to a stand
.still. The Germans. however. in
this throw of fate cannot afford
TO be checked and held up. They
are battling for a decision. and
unless they obtain it they will be
in serious danger of a demoraliz-
ing reverse. Furthermore, they.
would not be able to extenuate
disaster to a people to whom vic
tory has been promised this year
and peace with indemnities.
