The production is sumptuous; II
must have cost a fortune to make.
The cast supporting Mr.. Fairbanks is
of exceptional ability all the way

more villainous. Lillian Langdon,
Sam Sothern, a younger brother of

the entertainment.

This meet will bring the stars Z of. the state together and the best meet in the fairs history is promised for this year Many people will be surprised to learn of the calibre of the New Britain athletes who recently won the state meet in Bristol, in Competition with other state clubs.
 Morse racing has been arranged for Tuesday Thursday and Friday after poons of the fair week. The amount of the prizes, however, has not as yet been determined. Efforts are being made to secure the best there is in the racing game so it would not be put of order to say that the horse racing this year will be the best.
 Arrangements have been made this year to have balloon ascensions. pSobably the first three days during fair week. Last year these ascensions Were not held as aeroplanes gave ex- hibitions instead.
 A large number of demands have come in for floor space, both in the government building and in the mid way. If the plans materialize as Rapidly in the next few weeks as they have been lately, it will only be a short time before the complete pre- gram will be ready for publication. .Jitney Breaks Down Under Load

Feet Act Like Suckers.

Hoofed or ungulate animals, such as
sheep. pigs, camels and elephants,
have given up using their fore limbs In
a handlike manner, and employ them
solely for progression. Consequently
tree climbing is out of their line. In
Africa and Syria occur, however, GER
tain representatives Of the order
known as rock rabbits, or hyrax, the
Syrian species being the one referred
to in the Bible as the coney (the old
name of the rabbit). Certain African
hyraxes have, however, taken to tree
climbing, and the way they manage
1t Is this: In each foot the sole Is
somewhat cup shaped, and by the aid
of muscular action the center can
be more elevated. so that when the
edges are applied to the bark the
foot acts like a sucker.

A Mountain Camp.
R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY
Winston.Salem, N. c.

I have spent one perfect night on a
mountainside. Others were lovely
enough, but this one was the pure
idyllic moonshine, the dream come
true. We made good stiff run
through the day. Late In the after
noon we left Santa Fe to climb the
Glorieta pass through a country of
rolling red hills, thick with cedar,
broken by cliffs and mesas, and cut
by the deep gorge Of little stream.
We scanned the clearings with an
eager eye. At last we found the thing
we sought.
1t was the ruins of the first church
built on American soil by the Spanish
fathers. Away back In 1450 Coronado
found here the thriving village which
encouraged him to pursue the con-
quest of the new world, and here
commenced the civilization which lin
gers unchanged in the back country
today.-John Breck in Kansas City

swore by Their WhIskers.

If the beard has any standing in the
world today, 1t is undoubtedly be-
cause Of the Jews, who held their
whiskers to be sacred, and swore by
them. Later, the Turks did the same.
The sultan's followers used to comb
their whiskers after prayers, catch
the hairs that came out, break them
In two and bury them, on the theory
that In some mysterious way the hairs
helped to make soft walking to the
gates Of paradise. This the Turks
firmly believed. And they were great.
ly shocked when, in 1872, Selim I
came to the throne without a beard.
His smooth face was regarded as a
deliberate affront to all the bewhisker-
ed patriots of all ages, and the high.

with him. Selim could not be made
to talk seriously about 1t. * have cut

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never

Judging from reports from druggist. who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there Is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root $ soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the ss tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are fe. jected is because kidney trouble is 30 common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica. tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease It is on sale 4t all drug stores in bottles of two sizes medium and large.
