'ROPED,' 'B|GFEATURE AT ALCAZAR TODAY
Great Western Picture Play Thrills, and Yet
 Appeals

Harry Carey, a natural western picture play star, has recently finished his Uni versal special attraction, "Roped,' which appears at the Alcazar today. The story is different from anything the Universal has yet produced. Among the things photographed in the picture are the Great White Way of New York, Grand Canyon of Colorado, range riders in dress suits, western life, city society and city home life.
 It is the first time Carey has been photographed in full dress outfit. The picture shows the hard-riding roughnecks going the limit for a baby's smile and the same men taking New York without struggle. It is a picture of the thrill ing kind, yet with appealing attractions.
 Cheyenne Harry starts east to see the girl who has answered a matrimonial ad- vertisement written without his knowl- edge by his cowboys. He finds the girl. mares her and becomes a proud father. Then her mother, striving for social power tries to wreck their home by backing a lounge-liZard in his suit. Harry cleans house of the lizard and his mother-in- law as well, and starts for the Grand canyon on his honeymoon.

attorney declared, had narrowed down to two charges, first that organized base ball heads and especially Ban Johnson, president of the American league, had made serious charges against the Federal league, and second, that the heads of or ganized baseball and three Federal league officials had entered into con spiracy to disrupt the Federal league with the result that the Baltimore club, having grounds and players and ready to play ball, found itself without any body to play against and was damaged accordingly.
 The second complaint, he said. was the more serious The so-called peace pact' he said, amounted to an invitation from the Federal league for organized baseball to meet that organization on common ground and develop ways and means of aiding the Federal league in it's difficul ties. This offer, he said, was offered at par value by organized baseball as com ing from representatives of every club in the Federal league.
 MT. Pepper told the jury that organized baseball was prepared to prove that no matter whether the idea of a truce ori- ginated with the Indianapolis club or not, the call for peace conference was indorsed by constituent clubs, all Of whom had representatives present when tHe peace pact was agreed tO, pditi- more included. He said, if the Baltimore representatives remained silent and of fered no objection to the terms under which the Federal league was dissovled it was their own fault and organized baseball had acted in good faith in all it's dealings with the defunct league.
 Before resting it's case the Baltimore club presented evidence which it's coun- sel intimated showed that money from the American and National leagues for players taken over from the Federal league was received by single individ- ual among the defendants.

The weakened, rundown feeling of lassitude that seems to have possession of you is sometimes called "Spring fever" and it's symptoms are we'll known. Your appetite has failed, your energy seems gone, night finds you all tired out, and that run down, good-for- nothing feeling seems to have full possession of you.
 The human body is jns: like a piece of fine machinery, al- though few people give it as much consideration. X locomo- tive is given a thorough over hauling after each trip. Your body has brought you safely through the winter season and the voyage has taxed your strength. Very naturally, there has been considerable wear and tear which must be repaired.
 Your system needs, first of all, a thorough cleansing and toning up to replace the natural waste and wear. Impurities have accumulated, and these aggravate your rheumatism, or make your catarrh,worse, or in- tensify any skin disorder which you may be afflicted with.
 Very naturally, then. you are ready to ask: What am l to do to put my system in tiptop shape for the coming spring time, so that 1 will be in condi- tion to withstand the common ailments So prevalent in sum- mer?
 Simply profit by the experi-
