me. and today I feel as we'll as I

II was all broken down in health"

nearly everything was wrong with
me. My stomach was my main trou-
BILE. for it bothered me in one way
and another just about all the time.
What I ate soured and caused gas
to form and ] had terrible pains in
the pit of my stomach. I tried diet
ing. but that didn't do any good, for
il seemed that every bite l ate
caused indigestion. My kidneys were
in bad condition and worried me so
much that my rest was oil broken
up
II had rheumatism in my legs and

swollen up so bad 1 could not wear

they sometimes lasted for a whole

got up out of bed and dressed my
self and walked around trying to get
my mind off my nervousness and
misery, so l could get n little rest.
] was just about as near wreck as
man ever gets, and it looked like /
would have to give up the fight.
But. luckily. I got hold of Tanlac
AMI it saved the day for me. The
first few doses convinced me that 1
hnd struck the right thing. and today
] am more than satisfied with what
II has done for me. Eat, why, I eat
like wolf. and the good part Of Il is
that nothing ever disagrces with me
AT all. The nervousness has all gone,
as we'll as the rheumatic pains and I
put in good, sound sleep all night
long. My kidneys are in good con-
dition and the headaches have dis
appeared. In fact. not single symp-

Charles Ray, the youthful motion

most of his time recently straight

gree of clearness. The reason for
it all was that in his latest Thomas

for the last time today he has the
role of a county boy who stutters.
Always a stickler for realism, Char
lie took a stammering property
man as a model and in few days
could make his speech dance the
hesitation" to perfection.
All through the filming OF
Alarm Clock Andy" the "boy
wonder" suffered and spluttered.
To keep in practice, he insisted upon
doing it between scenes and out
side of working hours, Sympathet-
ic walters and friends not Gin the

that it was a fortunate thing that

Expansion of business in the AL

Additional printing machines

SECRETS OF THE
MOVIES REVEALED

.. What is a dissolve in the
movies? A fade out?
A. A dissolve is a scene revealed
gradually by opening the diaphram
of the camera. The picture comes
on vaguely and very small and
gradually gets clearer, brighter and
bigger and the dissolve may end
in a "fadeout," which is exactly
the reverse. The diaphram of the
camera is gradually closed and
the picture gradually gets smaller
and finally fades out. Most love
scenes end this way in the movies.
@. What are lightning scis-
sors?"
A. This is the studio name for
electrical apparatus by Which
electrical flashes are made in int
tation of lightning.
Q. Who is known as the cham-
pion title writer of motion pictures!
A. Tom Brett.
@. What comedienne was known
as ASophie Clutts' and whom dld
she marry?
A. Margaret Joslin. She mar
ried Harry Todd.
@. What movie star admits be-
ing the most sensitive about good
and bad luck signs?
A. Harry Houdini. He finds
sign. either good or bad, in almost
everything.
Q. Are old, used reels of films
every patched up for future USE
A. Old reels are inspected, the
bad parts replaced with new Sec
tions. The film is then ready to
be shown and is as good as new.
Constant inspections keep the films
in good condition and also make
them last longer. which is an item
in keeping down the expense,
which eventually means the adj
mission price.

QUIT TOBACCO
So easy to drop Cigarette,
Cigar or Chewing habit

No-To-Bac has helped thousands
to break the costly, nerve-shatter-
ing tobacco habit. Whenever you
have a longing for a smoke or
chew, just place a harmless No
To-Bac tablet in your mouth in
stead. All desire stops. Shortly
the habit is completely broken, and
you are better off mentally, phys
ioally, financially. It's so easy. so
simple. Get a box of No-To- Bac
and il 1t doesn't release you from
all craving for tobacco In any
form, your druggist will refund
your money without question. No
To-Bac is made by the owners Of
Cascarets; therefore is thoroughly
reliable.

CITIZENS WONDERED
WHY FlREMEN lDlED
AS ALARM SOUNDED

The fire gong at the city hall
sounded suddenly yesterday after
noon.
Clerks bumped into each other
getting to the Second street en-
trance.
City commissioners busy with the
weighty business of starting haif-
million dollar paving program on
its tardy way gazed toward the
, window that opens from the coun-
Gil chamber into the fire station.
A group of firemen sat idly
about, apparently not hearing the
gong.
"a false a,arm" the spectators
agreed.
A few minutes later and the
gong sounded again.
The clerks and commissioners
and hangers-o at the munlcipal
building again hurried to vantage
points.
Nothing happened. If anything
the firemen were idler than be-
fcre.
The process repeated itself.
Finally commissioners could
stand it no longer.
"What's going on out there?" he
demanded.
A fireman whispered confident
:alIv and the secret was out.
They were testing the city
alarm system.
