Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
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 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance. Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

important work for France in the

was delighted and at the same time
embarrassed because the large beard,
which he had worn for years, hid
the honor badge from view.

more rigid attention from private
than the house manager does from his
ushers
And that isn't only for me-" Mr.
Rothapfel says "Watch."
And the uniformed boy, seeing a
patron approach, draws his arms, palms
against his trousers seams, to his side
and stands at rigid attention until the
patron has passed. 1t does not take a
word from the patron for the usher to
be at his or her side, ready to be of
assistance.

looks on the faces of the people
whether they are satisfied and comfort
able the manager said.
There is a completely equipped hos
pital room. run by a trained nurse in
her white linen, open all through the
day and night, and there are facilities
for doing such difficult work as setting
n fracture. There are all kinds of medi-
cines in chests, and an operating table
There are on an average Of three cases a
day Of slight illnesses cared for III this
miniature hospital on the second floor
just off the main foyer.
lt VIII be seen that the theatcr, &C
commodating more than seven thou
sand persons as it does, sometimes has
fair sized little city within its walls
and three cases of illness a day are not
many for a city of that size.
In case there is illness the ushers
and maids and the nurse go to the af-
flicted one, without noise, without COM
motion, and gently take him or her to
the little white room up stairs, admin
lister the proper medicines, and that
is all.
And as for panics, there is an inter
IL
worked out under Mr. Rothapfers di-
rection. The only danger that con
fronts the management o. such a large
theater, he says, is possible panic. The
building is tireproof, and in case of a
possible blaze the ushers and fremer
of the theater are SO thoroughly trained
that no injury reasonably should re-
suit. But in case of q rush of the
thousands from the theater, of course
there could be serious injury.
If there should be an accident of any
kind in the Capitol Theater. those who
become frightened and start to run
would see on all sides of them, stand
ing in the exits, above which are red
lights. the uniformed ushers- standing
rigidly, their mouths open, repeating
over and over again these Words
please walk! Don't run, This is
an exit"
The boys go through this drill every
day, and it is believed by Mr.. Rothap-
fel that with the warning there would
be little chance for /. stampede.
The boys are to shout that cry at
the top OF their voices, and are not to
be discourteous even in case of emer-
gency," he says.
Did you ever wonder just what fills
up all that Office space around the out
side of the great auditorium of the
Capitol? Well, it is an interesting
place. There are rows upon rows Of
Offices, secretaries, private film pro-

Hassard Short, Vaudeville
Producer, Says Modern

There was a time," he remarked,
when a player who had attained a

Now, however, the Broadway star
