BUILDING FOR CONVENTIONS

Topeka will build a modern and
adequate fireproof convention hall as
a memorial to its soldiers. sailors and
marines in the war and call it "Vic-
tory Hall" if the city adopts a sug-
gestion made by Charles L. Mitchell,
secretary of Crane & Co., publishers.
and former president of the Chamber
of Commerce In a letter today to the
State Journal. Mitchell. who is making
a trip thru the southwest, outlined the
proposed plan.
"Why don't we build monument
to our soldiers by building a big con-
Vention hall for community conven-
tions and community sings and other
public meetings and call it Victory
Hail." writes Mitchell.
Have a fire-proof hall large enough
to hold all of them, something that
will be useful and practical"

Somehow it doesn't seem to me as If
Margaret Clark especially enjoyed
doing Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" Maybe that's because 1 didn't
especially enjoy seeing her do it
Mrs. Wiggs'' is. guess, one of the
books not especially adapted to screen
ing. Its effect depends on the writ
ten word. But with Margaret Clark
as the star in the role of Lovey Mary,
this picture is certain to attract an
unusual patronage. This screen ver-
sion was directed by Hugh Ford, who
staged the original production in New
York, about fifteen years ago. The
story of the little orphans who escape
from the asylum and their final rise
to Saffluence is prettily told with in
teresting touches of humor and pathos.
Miss Clark is a charming Lovey Mary
and somehow or other / followed her
thru the story with keen interest. From
the plain, timid, unloved Brofield Or
phanage product to the round. happy
faced beauty was the natural evolu-
ton good food and loving kindness
would create. She looked particular
ly girlish in a cotton voile of two
shades. The cast is particularly
strong. It's distinctively a character
picture" Vivian Ogden as Miss Ia
bitha Hazy." that weird, negative and
sentimental spinster was a scream.
Mary Carr plays Mrs. Wigs" (she
was the Originally and while much of
the honey humor. which graced her
role in the play, is lost on the screen,
still there is much in the part. Hobart
Milash played the "lunk of a loafer"
that looked like Lincoln and was
chosen as matrimonial possibility be-
cause of the asset. in a manner most
laughable. Gladys Valerie, who has
the worldly part of Maggie Duncan"
makes you feel she is out of place in
the happy community. She steps into
the old fashioned settlement in smart
up-to-date suit and hat. The 'kiddie,'
touches are exceedingly well handled.
So whatever interest there is, this
time, does not center about the charm
ing little Miss Clark, You undoubt-
edly are familiar with the stories of
Mrs. Wigs and Lovey Mary, so 1
won't take up your time by repeating
them. If they do not lend themselves
especially well to picture purposes, the
production is at least to be commended
as good technically. The lighting and
the sets are fully adequate, and the
rain scenes particularly good. "Alex-
ander, the Great" the goat of the pic
ture, was letter perfect in what it
had to do. And, oh, I nearly forgot
to tell you, that no matter what hap
pens we'll have the Kaw river for
two more years. And 1 guess that will
be about all. N.S.A.

TELLS TROUBLES
John @. Adams, Santa Fe Fore
man, Praises Tanlac.
S:See Taking 1t Feels Better
J Than In 10 Years.

"Tanlac has not only relieved me of
all my troubles. but has built me up
SO well in every way that l feel better
now than 1 have for over ten years,
said ]. O. Adams, who is foreman at
the Santa Fe store house. and lives
on West Munson Ave, Topeka, few
days ago. ..,,,.a
Mr.. Adams. when 1 commenced TAX
ing Tanlac 1 was just about down and
out so far as health goes. l had just
gotten up from an attack of the FLU.
and l was so weak and rundown that
/ was hardly able to get about very
much. My stomach was in such aw-
full condition that every time 1 ate
anything I would be bloated up with
gas for hours afterwards I Just felt
tired and worn out all the time, and
was in no shape to attend to my work.
1 was very nervous, too, and never got
a. real good nights sleep, and could
see that was gradually going down
hill all the time.
"One of my ne.ghbors told me
about this Tanlac one day. and ad-
vised me to give it y trial. and 1t is
just simply wonderful the way that
medicine has hit the spot in my case.
1 just naturally love to talk about
TanIac. and when l meet a fellow who
complain about feeling bad, and all
un-down. it just does my heart good
to tell him to take Tanlac. I honestly
believe that my stomach is in better
condition now than it has ever been.
Why, l don't heitate to eat cabbage.
hard boiled eggs. or anything else that
is put before me at meal time now,
and everything 1 eat agrees with me
perfectly l never have Indigestion or
sour stomach now, and am never
bloated up with gas after my meals.
am more than glad to recommend Tan
lac to everybody. for 1 honestly believe
IT will help anybody who suffers as
did"
