GHosTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend OF the City Of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
s1itlous Residents.


One Of the strange legends of the
City OF Mexico has TO do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street Of the Two
IdlersI. According TO the story there
was beautiful girl, Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo y Vezca, who lived on
the street and was beloved by two
men, one a young officer and the other
a young merchant After the custom
of the land at that period (about 1850
they indicated their love by standing,
one at each corner Of the block, untii
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without it
becoming known 20 her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unbeknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting fu vain. The day after
they stood and the day after that,
week after week. month after month
and year after year They at last
died. still on their posts. and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night,
cloaked and ghastiy, in the daplxest
shadows Of the streets.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there ia one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
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
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jeeted is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sals
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..
Kilmer 4 Co., BinShamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Ady.

In some photopIay fire scenes the
buildings are actually burned down,
and sometimes small models are
burned. Usually a convincing Illusion
is created bs placing chemical prepa-

by staining the film red the Illusion is
almost perfect.
Movies make 1t easy for bricks to
form themselves into walls Here IS
how it is done: First brick wall is
photographed. A man hidden behind
the wall pulls down a brick at time
and throws It into pile In front of
the wall. Each time he does it it is
photographed. The film is reversed
