A New Packard Picture

In the forthcoming Selznick pic
ture, The Sin That Was His, " Frank
L Packard has provided a story
which IS as strong as his Miracle
Man IN every respect but which
differs entirely In its plot and de-
yelopment from that screen success.
And Mr.. Packard has expressed the
opinion that The Sin That Was
His" with William Faversham as
the star. is even stronger than his
former picture
There Is this similarity between
The Miracle Man and The Sin That
Was His,'" explained Director Ho-
hart Henley during the taking of
the final scenes. Both stories have
a basic theme of a mans regenera-
ton through love There all re-
ssmbiance ends. The Sin That Was
His does not concern itself with any
phase Of faith healing nor does it
deive into New York's underworld
life. Add to this the fact that
Northeastern Canada supplies the
locale and IL is evident that no two
stories could be more dissimilar-" !"
Mr.. Packard himself has gone even
further in pointing out the original
ity of plot and situation that char
aeterizs The Sin That Was His"
The entire plot" explains the
author, 'revolves around an acci-
dent that leaves its victim suffer-
ing from aphasia- A man who has
been injured does not remember who
he Is or what has happened. Mis-
taken for a criminal, his loss Of
memory casts a heavy shadow of
doubt upon his onnocence and he Is
tried and sentenced for q crime

at once that this starting point pro-
vfdes an opportunity for unlimited
plot development along original
lines"

QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
 Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we est sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headacnes, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take g tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in g few days your kidneys will 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 flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus .raing bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can. not injure; makes delightful ct
 :ervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then. to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoid- ing serious kidney complications.
