Men Profitable for a Time

Helen Ferguson Drexler of Wauke-
gan, ILL.,, daughter of a Brooklyn
family, who admits she is nut on
soldiers and sailors, but don't like
Marines" is in cell at the Chicago
Jail trying to recall the names of Ii
of her husbands. Equipped with one
baby and a penchant for hero hus-
bands, the government alleges Mrs.
Drexler has collected as high as $40O
a month in soldiers allotment checks
from the government for the past
three years. The baby was listed as
the child of each successive husband
and drew an allotment, too.
In 1917, she says she married Will
fred Taylor, a soldier, and they had
son, now three years old. Next
she married Paul Moler, soldier /;
then Thomas Meehan, sailor at
Great Lakes; and next Albert Drex-
Ter, soldier at Camp Grant. Al
though she has retained Dexler's
name, there have been at least II
husbands since him, she estimates.
She never obtained a divorce from
any of them.

sFruit-a -tives" for two years, and

medicine that does not lose it's effect,

taking them''
= Mrs. G. c. REMINGTON.
Now, you might think that any
medicine which is strong enough to
move the bowels when they are para
lyzed, would be too powerful to be
used by person suffering with
ordinary Constipation. Yet 'sFruit-a-
tives" is regularly taken by children,
young boys and girls, men and women
of all ages, without pain, gripping or
other ill-effects. Because "Fruit-a-
tives'' is genuine frNit medicine,
that always corrects Constipation
and Biliousness gently, mildly and
effectively.

who died in infancy.
It can be truly said that her life
was one of loving service, faithfully
devoted to home and loved ones. She
was a devoted mother, always hap
piest when all of her children were
with her. She tenderly loved and
cared for the four children of her
former husband, thus caring for an
unusually large family, to all of
! whom she gave her untlring devo-
ton. She was a woman of sterling
character, closely adhering to rules
! of right living and imparting Chris
tian influence to all around her. Be-
ing of patient and cheerful DISPOSE
ton she bore all her suffering with
Christian fortitude and found joy in
life, expressing a great desire to live,
yet ready and willing when the Mas
ter called. All that loving hearts
and willing hands could do was done,
but naught could stay the hand of
death and she passed from this life to
be with Him who giveth his loved
ones sleep.
During her last illness she was ten

THE Sporting Duchess"

Once each year sportsmen from all
over the world gather at EPSON in
Surrey, England, generally on the
Wednesday before W~hitsuntide, to at
tend the Derby races. Many plays
have been written around these races
the most famous of which is "The
Sporting Duchess" the film version is
taken from the mammoth spectular
production which had the greatest run
at Drury Lane theater, London of any
play of it's kind. Alice Joyce plays the
roll of the sporting Duchess, who
stakes everything on the outcome of
the race, her Characterization is o n
sidered the best work of her career.
Most of the ace scenes were taken
at New Orleans, and Derby Day is
shown complete in every detail, the
big race being complete from start to
finish.

"The Whistle"

Appearing in an entirely new type
OF starring vehicle, William S. Hart
in THE Whistle" is the feature at
traction at the theaters next week
Where most Of his previous patures
have been western in character this
new film is based upon factory life
in a New England community. Bill"
Hart plays the part of a mill foreman
in a town which is dominated by the
head of its n big factory. The hui
man appeal and drama of the STORY
serve to put it over with unIuistake-
able emphasis. A tragedy enters the
life of the foreman and changes the
current of his existence. Hart en-
cages in one of the most intence fistic
encounters of his career. There is no
love story other than the love of a
mother for her child, but this rather
adds than detracts from the popular
interest of the theme, In offering this
feature to you we feel apart from the
popularity of the star, it will receive
a great reception and meet with your
most enthusiastic praise.

Science Will Rival
Aurora In the North

American explorers are fast intro
ducing electric lights in the Arctic
Regions and one would not be sur
prised to hear shortly of the Esqui-
rlaux enjoying this modern luxury in
their huts, according to the prediction
made by Mr.. Ralph wilson, manager
of the local Eyide Service Station.
~ few weeks ago said Mr.. Will
son, 81 read of the natives in some
isolated section Of Alaska. Cediak Is
land, | believe, being introduced to
electric lights and the event was com
mented on as a step toward progress.
Then the other day ] received
word that Macmillan, the explorer,
had taken a complete lighting sys-
TEN with him on his latest trip to the
Polar Regions. He has also equipped
his expedition with a wireless set and
will send back radio reports as he
makes his way North. Current for
both is furnished by Exide batteries.
MI. Macmillan, who sailed from
Boston, was leader of the famous
Crocker Land Expedition seven years
ago. 1t was really m this occasion
that electric lights also furnished by
Exides were introduced in the Arctic
Regions, probably, for the first time
in history.
This was made possible principal
ly through the development of the
storage battery. Such a voyage ne
cessarily is rough and full of hard
ships and the equipment must be
strong enough to withstand a lot of
rough handling.
After 1000 miles of travelling dur
ing which the party was shipwrecked
and almost persisted in billiards., they
were still able TO give the Esquimaux
he surprise of their lives-electric
lights"

papers reaching here are carrying
complete reports concerning the trial
of Baron Ungern Sternberg who was
sentenced to death at $50 p. m. af-
ter a trial session of 5 hours and 20
minutes.
The accused behaved with great
calm and dignity, according to the
papers. He answered all questions
without any hesitation and related to
the tribunal his political activities,
showing himself to be somewhat of a
munarchist.
He gave full details of his cruel
actions against the captured Bolshe-
viks and against all villages which
had been shown to have supported
the soviet. He rejected all SUPPOSE
lions that he might be subject to any
abnormal state of mind, but proved
that he always acted with a full un-
Outstanding of the circumstances.
Answering questions of the prose
cutor as to whether he thought thar
he was the last of the long file Of ad-
venturers striving for restoration of
the dynasty by force, he said:
"Yes, I think l am the last"
The court was open to the public,

Japan's Railways Are
Fifty Years Old Now
f.

TOKYO, Nov. 30-The fiftieth an
niversary of the inauguration of rail
way service in Japan was celebrated
recently with appropriate ceremonies
in a large pavilion in front Of the
Tokyo central station. The Crown
Prince read a message of congratu-
lation on behalf of the Emperor.
The first rail of the present system
was laid in 1871, the eighteen mile
line between Tokyo and Yokohama
having been opened for traffic June
IL, 1872. A souvenir, consisting of a
thin cross-section of the first rail laid
bound in brass for use as a paper
weight, vas given to each of the
spectators at the celebration. More
than 100 tons of such rails were cut
into 100000 slices.
The first locomotive used in Japan
with other equipment, was placed on
a nearby track for exhibition. This
and the imperial coaches of the early
days were the center of interest.

very well and after a short drill, we
held a short business meeting. Dur

Christmas carols while the principal
accompanied us on the guitar.
When the meeting was over we
played Virginia Reel. That was such

Come and see us when you can and
