MRS. DANIEL E. CRAVEN
 For instance, the signed statement of Mrs. Daniel A. Craven, who resides at No. 402h West Tenth street. Atlanta, Ga, will be of interest. She stated her husband, who is a well-known employe of the Atlantic Steel Plant. was re- lieved of a severe case of stomach trou- ble by Plant Juice. as follows:
 My husbands work is very confin- ing and for years he has been troubled with his stomach and kidneys; he could not keep the lightest kind of food in his stomach and it would fermen, and cause gas to form; he had terrible pains in the pit of his stomach and all through his back; he could not sleep and got in such a rundown condition that he thought he would have to quit work. I persuaded him to try Plant Juice, as I had heard so much about it. He had little faith in it. as he had tried ever so many medicines and none of them did the least good After he had taken one bottle he felt so much better that he continued to take it and he is now able to eat anything he wants and digest it; he sleeps well and has no more pain. He is stronger and better in every way. It did my hus- band so much good I am going to take it myself"
 Plant Juice is sold in Birmingham at Norton's Drug Store, corner Fourth avenue and Twentieth street.-Adv.

 When asked about her plans for the future, Norma said she wanted to play strong, dramatic emotional roles. which have in them something more than just the opportunity to act, and which, besides being ,rue character portrayals, would at the same time be helpful.
 T have turned down a number of good stories." she said, because l am not satisfied to have people see in my pictures entertainme-, only. I want them to always feel an underlying psychology in what I do, and I like story Witt purpose, = story that gets somewhere, story with some sort Of new idea, or an old ideal I don't mean to make propa aganda pictures or to tack an obvious moral on everything I do. but believe the moral can be brought out subtly and be SC cleverly inter- woven in the story that it becomes the very soul of the character and play"

It was produced fro mthe novel, Idols" by William :, Locke. After it's completion officials of Associated First National Pictures, Inc, selected 1t for inclusion in the first group of big productions.
 The production depicts a period in the lives of Hugh Colman, Minna Hart. Irene Lansing and Gerard Merriam Hugh and Gerard both love Irene, and when Irene chooses Gerard, Hugh turns to Minna for consolar:on. She loves him and they marry secretly because of the objections MT. Hart has toward Hugh, who learns to iove Minna whole heartedly but not until Minna has been led to believe tna- he is ashamed of his marriage. Tne oath, insisted upon by her, is that each will regard the marriage as never having taken place and never speak of it.
 Mir. Hart is slain by thugs. All cir cumstances point to E4ugn. His convic- ton is certainty due to his refusal to break the oath far enough to establish an alibi for the tina or the murder. Irene, however, sees way of saving him, and although it means a sacrifice as great as any woman ever made, she takes the step and supplies the most dramatic scene ever produced in a motion picture. The principal play CTS are: Miriam Cooper, Conway Tearle Henry Give and Anna @. Nils son.

You have not told enough of the cir

if her husband was cruel to her and
she was forced to leave him and do

her children and delay marriage until
the children have learned to like you

is so scanty that a general curtail-

is a curious fact, however. that the at
taches who have been recalled have
been stationed at some of the most
important foreign capitals.
But in view of the war departments
explanation it would be difficult to
charge that department with wishing
to learn from those military attaches
something concerning the peace pre-
parations of friendly nations. The
fact remains, however, that the at
taches in question ought to be able to
talk rather interestingly on such sub

know the precise relationship or its
own to other countries in the matter
of armament, how it will stand with
respect to naval power If the various

ference intends to do any secret arm
parley begins, Nov. II.
The Japanese press has announced
within recent weeks that Japan is
building three superdreadnaughts
Hints have come to this government
that there are building operations 60
ing on in that country in secluded ship
yards concerning which the outside
world knows, or is supposed to know,
nothing Some of the tales of that
nature have been brought back by
American tourists who, as Yankees
sometimes do, poked around through
Japanese shipping districts where all
we'll regulated tourists are not sup
posed to go.
There is a legend in Washington
that the state department has its secret

great tourists. 1t is a fact, though,
that the only accredited secret serv-
ices of the government are those Of
the treasury department, the depart
ment of justice and the post Office
department, other than the intelligence
divisions of the army and the navy.
