Serial Star Proves
Himself a Wrestler
of Great Ability

William Duncan, Vitagraph's Sc
rial star, has always been proud Of
his ability as an all-around ath-
1ete. especially of his skill as a
wrestler, a sport only made for a
strong man. He always looks for
ward to a new serial with the hope
that the authors have placed a sit
uation or two in it offering him a
chance to get to grips with some
one.
He is given this chance in the
latest Vitagraph thriller. Smash
ing Barriers" the first episode of
which will be seen at the Ameri-
can theatre tomorrow. As Dick
Daring, a rough and ready, devil
may-care young husky, trying to
make good in a lumber camp, he
runs against the bullying foreman
of the camp. who thinks he is
"some punkins" as a wrestler him
self In trying to show up the ten
derfoot city Teller" he wrestles
Duncan much to his sorrow. An
exciting and interesting contest re-
suits in which Duncan throws him
with a toe hold. This is just a few
moments Of the two reels of thrills
that makes up the opening episode
of the latest Vitagraph chapter
play. Duncan is again given his
principal support by Edith John
son and Joe Ryan.

The Miracle Man.
Ranks With Great
Film Masterpieces

THE Miracle Man" one of the
great film masterpieces. comes to
the Spencer Square theatre for one
week beginning tomorrow.
It was published originally as a
novel in Munsey's magazine, writ
ten by Frank L. Packard and later
dramatized by George NJ Conan
and presented with phenomenal
success on Broadway. AS a mo-
ton picture this absorbing story
has been hailed by the critics as
one of the finest productions ever
seen on the screen. With scenes
laid in the haunts of criminals in
New York's Chinatown, in a little
village on the side OF d giant noun
tain and on the shore Of a roaring
ocean. the opportunity for wonder
full Photographic effects has been
realized to the limit.
But the chief interest is in the
striking story, which centers about
the venerable figure of an old pa
rriarch, who is credited with the
flower to heal the sick and make
crippled limbs whole again. To
him come Tom Burke and his band
of crooks from New York's China
town with the idea of cashing in
on his powers. But it doesn't work
out as they calculated, for hidden
away in each of them is a leaven
of good. which slowly comes to
the surface under the influence Of
their wholesome environment In

Checkers" a Racing
Play of Seven Reels,
Shows at the Majestic

Checkers" which comes to the
Majestic theatre Sunday for three
days, is the best racing play in a
decade and when seen on the stage
at the Burtis theatre some eight or
nine years ago, created a veritable
Jurors. The stage play never con-
tanned, however, the "wallop" or
punch that is to be. found in the
phOtoplay version of this wonderful
attraction. 1t is in a little over
seven great reels and every foot of
the picture is worth seeing. AS a
melodrama of sporting circles. it
touches all the high spots and con-
tains one thrill after another. The
play is well cast Thomas J. Car
rigan being an ideal hero for this
type of role The direction is eX-
ceIlent and the. material is handled
in a mastery way by Richard Stan
ton. There are many Chinatown
scenes which are done on an ex-
tremely lavish scale while the I'M
derworld settings showing the
wharfs and sewers of a great city
are especially effective. The sus-
pense element is above criticism
as the moments before the big
race are done with admirable eff
feet. The hero and heroine and
the villains are engaged in a
mighty struggle to get the horse
and once the animal is in the
clutches of the right parties, the
race is run and won. The produc-
ers of the pictures have gone some
what beyond Mr.. Blossoms re-
quirements in that they are intro
ducing the Chinatown scenes and
the hydro-airplane, the latter being
utilized to rescue the hero and the
heroine from the river and the
clutches of the villain and his orr
entail accomplices.
o Anyone who likes fast-moving
meIodrama will fairly eat this pic
ture up and it strong for the racing
drama. Especially true is this in
cases where the scenes depict a
strong struggle between hero and
villain and there is such q struggle
in this picture if there ever was
one There are all kinds of mar
row escapes. struggles and scenes
where the audiences take sides
with the hero. When the stage
play was produced. there were real
Kisses for the villain and even in
the phOtoplay form where the vii
lainies are intensified and the viz
tues are enhanced, the audience
finds it still easier to array itself
on the side of right
There are many screaming com
edy touches in Checkers" which

who lend much color to the scenes.
There are race track touches which
show that the producers have gone

problems of the peace in the interests OF
all humanity.
But, after all, the essence Of the presi'
dents visit to England and his reception
there lies in the mingling OF two great
national ideas-those of the two major
branches Of the English race. The quea-
ton whether or not Mr.. Wilson ought to
have gone TO Europe, and the question
whether or not there ought to have been
clearer definition of policy before or since
he went. may be held in allegiance for
the time being. Far-reaching good may
be made to come out OF his going. The
president win take to Britain somewhat
of our life and thought. He will receive
somewhat of the life and thought OF
England. He cannot mingle in the life Of
the metropolis. he cannot come IN con-
tact with the throbbing activity OF great,
industrial. Liberal Manchester, without
adjusting in some measure his theories
to the tremendous facts OF the bfltlsh
empire, and British national conscious
ness. He cannot speak and listen TO Eng
lishmen on their own soil without feeling
that there as we'll as here is body OF
ideas that must be taken into account
before the affairs of the world can be
balanced. 1t Is doubtful if he can escape
the conclusion that the balance will be
struck only when these two groups OF
ideas. which are one at the root, are
embodied in a working agreement be
tween the English-speaking nations.
Therein lies the hope Of long peace
Not that either Britain or the United
States should yield iot or little Of ma
tional right to be and to safeguard be-
ing. but that both should see their essen
tiai unity of tradition, purpose and
ideals, and should cooperate as friends
between whom there is perfect under
standing.
Here. and here alone, is the foundation
of a durable league of nations, and it
will be of incalculable good to the world,
If out Of this visit and interchange Of
view between Britain's leaders and the
American president, on British soil, this
foundation shall be laid in a spirit of
manly cooperation And Londons wei
come to the president promises well for
this desired end. It is as if Britain ex-
tended the hand of fellowship to the
United States and said: We want what
you want-~let US work together to make

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much Meat,
Which Forms Uric Acid

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you eiieye your bow
els; removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have baekaehe, sick head
ache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine ii cloudy full Of sediment, chan
nels often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
elan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
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 generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

A GREAT LOAN
LOOKS SMALLER
The Five Billions at $50 Apiece Should
Be Compared with What the
Kaiser Wanted.

Preparations are already making for
the fifth Liberty loan, which the people
of the United States viii be asked to
make toward the world war 1t will
come in the spring, probably sometime
early in April.
The total amount will probably be
somewhere near the size of the fourth
loan A five billion dollar total looks
did in 1917 to people l00,00O,000 strong
who have learned to save and lend to the
government
When this loan looks insignificant and
puny, even if it is put on top of all the
loans which preceded it, is when it is
compared side by side with the billions
Germany would have demanded of Amer
lea if the kaiser had won the war
This is the way to compare tho two
possible endings Of the war. Put one
beside the other, the two chances Of pay
ing for the cost Of the world war which
the people Of this country had before
them one year ago.
The United States has come into vie
tory and peace. One Of the greatest
forces it employed to win victory was
the great fund which the people put into
it's hands to fight for civilization.
But the government has not yet
financed the needs of the last chapter of
effort. Three months hence it will ask
for loan with which to accomplish this
work 1t will call in the fifth loan for
money to pay the expenses of peace and
reconstruction.
The men and women Of the country
who must furnish the funds for the fifth
loan are doubly blessed They have at
the same time the liberty won by the
war and the bonds of the government
taken in other loans. They know now
that they can never be made to contrib
ute to any kaiser. And there are l00,-
100000 Of them in all.
What the Victorious Fifth loan pro-
poses is that this l00,0O0,000 people shall
lend the government about $50 apiece
This does not seem large amount
from each person. 1t is not a large sum
to lend at substantial interest on I'm.
equalled security, for the final settle
ment in the war.
Each one knows that it is loan, that
it is not payment to the kaiser but loan
for liberty.
