To Our Loved One.

Fare thee we'll our darling Katherine
Ever kind as soul could be;
Loving child, grief bent husband
Snail no longer welcome thee.
Their tears fell down upon your casket
As low they bent with wetted eye
For your soul has taken refuge
In its home with God on high.

Speak in accents soft and low,
AND the signs of all who loved thee,
Tell their sacred depths Of woe.
Your brothers sigh, your sisters weepins
Speak the language of the soul,

AS down their cheeks their tears do roll

Now Earth's parting hour has come.
Take her soul to thee in heaven

very large attendance because of the

1t has no battle scenes, nor views
OF great throngs madly struggling,
nor of buildings wrecked or devas-

does give exquisitely beautiful land
scapes, bits of water scenery that
appeal and inspire, and pictures of
people of human interest. Its story
has to do with an aged man, deaf,

strangely gifted with the power of
healing. To him go a gang of New

troll of the miracle man" for the
purpose of exploiting his wonderful
power. Instead, they find them
selves moved by some strange I'M
pulse, and remain to learn and start
on new way of life. The company
which made the picture is formed of
most capable actors, whose work is
all the more convincing because it
is devoid of the usual tricks resorted
to by film actors to register" the
passions or emotions they are sup
posed to express. These are real
actors, and by their ability they
make the scenes realistically con-
clncing. All in all, "The Miracle

Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year are
laid away-the burial certificate being
marked Rupture" Why? Because the
unfortunate ones had neglected themselves
or had been merely taking care OF the
sign (swelling) of the affliction and pay
ing no attention to the cause. What are
you doing? Are you negecting yourself
by wearing truss, appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call it? At best, the
truss is only a makeshift--a false prop
against collapsing wall-and cannot be
expected to act as more than a mere me-
chanca support. The binding pressure re-
tards blood circulation, thus robbing the
weakened muscles of that which they need
most-nourishment.
But science has found way, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to
make FREE test right in the privacy of
their own home. The PLAPAO method is
unquestionably the most scientific, logical
and successful self-treatment for rupture
the world has ever known.
The PLAPAO PAD when adhering close
ly to the body cannot possibly slip or
shift out of place, therefore, cannot chafe
or pinch. Soft as velvet-easy to apply
inexpensive. To be used whilst you work
and whilst you sleep. No straps, buckles
or springs attached.
