TEAM MORN COrNrS

The greatest success In nearly all

fails to secure harmony within the
ranks. that party is soon defeated
and another with better team work
takes it's place. This principle runs

The same thing applies TO business.

Of hasty remarks, which were much

EDUCATIONAL DECLINE

ItlAA llON Al ipi-Nit.NL
The statement is made by cduca-
tional authorities that the United
States ranks only ninth in the world
in the general education level Of IT'S
citizens. This will be surprise 10
most people who have thought that
this country has the best educational
facilities.
War camp figures showed that only
about one in four of our young men
were able to read and write. Great
masses Of aliens have come i'm and

are said to be much more stringent

Thousands upon thousands of wo- men have kidney or bladder trou- ble and never suspect it.
 Women complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble. or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous irritable and may be Respondent; II makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer Swamp-Root. by restoring health to the Kidneys proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for a sample bottle tc see what Swamproot, the great kid ney, liver and bladder medicine vii do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton N. Y, you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can pur chase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.

The story of His Wife's Friend" the new Thomas H. Ince production, to be seen at the Coliseum Saturday only and starring Dorothy Dalton, requires the heavy in the cast to meet his death by plunging over a high cliff on the rockbound British coast. In filming the picture, Direc- tor Joseph De Grasse could not To- cate such a place in the vicinity of New York City. So he gave the cast short rest and started on a still hunt Discouraged by his lack of success on the sandy Jersey shore, he suddenly remembered an old song he used to sing in his school days about 'the stern and rockbound coast" where the Pill grims landed So he hied himself to New England and at Marblehead. Massachusetts. found an ideal spot on which to kill" his villain.

"ERSTWHILE SUSAN" IS A STORY OF MODERN ciNDERELLA

' Last night saw the first presenta- ition at the Coliseum Theatre of r"Erstwhile Susan,' in which Con- stance Binney makes her initial ap- |pearance as Realart star. The .picture is claimed to be notable for dramatic suspense and strong heart interest. Interwoven through the main theme are touches of quaint comedy. The scenario combines the most striking incidents of the play which was Mrs. Fiske's starring ve- hicle two years ago. In the role of Barnabetta. the slavey heroine of the story. Constance Binney has created very strong screen char acteriZation.
 "Erstwhile Susan" is a story of modern Cinderella. The heroine is Barnabetta Dreary. the only daughter of Barnaby. stern, brutal farmer of the PennsyIvania-D Dutch colony Of Reinhartz. Left motherless at very early age. Barnabetta has known neither love nor laughter; her time is too occupied with serving her Ia ther and her two loutish brothers. Later. however. Barnaby marries again, and it is the step-mother who helps the girl blossom into glorious, beautiful young womanhood.

TO DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Ma tural Color, Gloss and
 Attractiveness

Common garden sage Drewed into heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get q bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients.
 While wispy gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at tractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

1.-THE STRANGE BOARDER" FEATURES WILL ROGERS

"The Strange Boarder" is the lat est Goldwyn starring vehicle for Will Rogers, which may seen at the Pal ace Theatre for two days, commenc- ing Sunday.
 The picture is adapted to the par ticular branches of the acting art in which MT. Rogers excels, comedy drama. It is the story of rancher who for the sake of advancing him self financially, that his little son may enjoy the fruits of his work and becomes the prey of financial sharks and loses all that he pos sessed. The Goldwyn star is equal to the suddenness of the change from portraying pathos and taking up the comedy role that his part in "The Strange Boarder' demands.
