them it is Tanlac. 1 hadn't been down
sick in bed exactly, but 1 hadn't felt
just right for a long time. L was all
run down, had indigestion, my appe-
tite was poor and nothing agreed with
me. In fact, 1 had to force down
every mouthful I would eat and 1
would always suffer from indigestion
for an hour or so after every meal.
also had headaches and would get
so dizzy at times 1 could hardly keep
from falling. 1 simply had no ambi-

BILL HART'S PINTO
PONY SAVES FAMOUS
STAR FROM DROWNING

William S. Hart, the famous mo-
tion picture star, firmly believes that
there is no human love or loyalty that
exceeds that of an animal for man.
Probably Mr.. sHart's most cherished
possession is his beautiful Pinto pony,
the veteran of many hazardous feat
before the camera. Since the filming
Of "The Toll Gate" the new Hart
picture coming to the Grand theatre
next Sunday, Bill, loves the Pinto
more than ever-with reason.
In the role of Black Deering, lead
er of bandit gang, Bill is hotly pur-
sued by a sheriff's posse. He escapes
them at one point by making a leap
over sixty feet from cliff into the
raging river below. But again they
pick up the trail. This time BIZ, as
Deering, seeks to elude them by rid
ing his Pinto pony into the river bed
and following the stream as it leads
into subt erranean passage under the
cliffs.
The location of this scene was So
nora, in northern California. Bill
rode his pony into the Stygian black
ness of the underground water trail.
But suddenly the water grew deeper.
The Pinto started to swim. It's hOOfs
struck an underwater ledge, and
he slipped Backward, throwing Bill
into the icy cold stream. The beast
tried in vain to climb the steep sides
Of the cave. He tumbled backwards.
Then followed grim fight with
death on the part of both man and
beast, until at last the Pinto saw a
CLINT of light and swan to it with
mad speed, dragging Bill Hart after
him.
"He sure saved my life, said Bill
later, "and he can have all I have
got"
