PAULINE FREDERICK IS TIGER WOMAN IN HER NEW PHOTOPLAY.

Appearing in remarkable role, or rather, two roles, one of them being a leonine gypsy girl, represented as tiger woman" Pauline Frederick, the beautiful star in Paramount pic lures, will be seen in her newest
 photoplay, Her Final Reckoning
 at the Coliseum Theatre tonight and Friday night. In dressing this part, Miss Frederick has shown dis eliminating taste in the selection Of
 costumes, and one of her gowns is clinging robe marked like a tiger The effect is said to be most start | ling in the way of accentuating the feline nature of her remarkable characterization.
 Miss Frederick said in a recent interview that her role of Marsa, in this photoplay, is one of the most
 exacting she ever has essayed. Mar
 sa is the gypsy daughter of Rus sian prince who is wronged at an
 early age by rascally count. When she meets and loves Prince Zilal | in Paris at a later period, the count seeks to coerce her into resumption of their former relationship, but
 when he calls at her villa at mid night she sets her Russian wolf
 hounds upon him and he is nearly | bitten to death by the enraged ami | mals.
 Unfortunately for Marsa, the man escapes with his life, and he later forwards to Prince Zilah a packet of compromising letters written by
 her and in despair she confesses all to her fiancee She becomes i'll, the | rascally count is killed in a duel, and Prince Zilah takes Marsa to his
 heart despite her admissions of guilt
 The two go to the princess castle iii

A New York alderman suggested

quested a resolution Of appreciation
to the employers who take the boys

registering this appreciation he sug

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, 'Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy that / know OF
has so large SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR.
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that 80 many people claim, it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, coyTects ur
mary troubles and neutralizes the urit
acid which causes rheumatism.
