Inasmuch as 1t has been known in

long rods being provided to reduce
vibration to a minimum. A circulat-
ing splash olling system gives au-
tomato fabrication throughout. An

porizing conditions, are obtained.

tive sliding gear type, three speeds
forward and one reverse. The uni
versal joint is ,of standard Buick

tion, designed successfully to elimin-
ate all twisting or weaving in the

At The Majestic.

Al Jennings, small, nervy, and

as on the day when he got" his

his brother, gIowed with enthu-
siasm when he talked about his
first picture, THE Lady of the Dug

theatre.
This is the way my first picture
company was started" said he. at
all began in the pulpit Of a little
church in a California town when /
was telling the story of The Lady
Of the Dug-out,' by way Of giving a
sermon. After the sermon one man,
a multi-millionaire, said he'd give q
lot of money if that story could go
to lot of people. That led to the
formation of my company to put
the story into picture form.
This picture" continued Mr.
Jennings, SIS the first real local
color the public has ever had a
chance to see in all the wild west
stuff.
q don't jump over my horse
because l never did as a bandit
There's one scene where Frank and
l have 35 cents left in all the world
and We have to spend 20 cents to
feed our horses. Did you ever know
a movie bad man who knew horses
had to be fed?
And We don't cover up our faces
with red bandanas or stick six
shooters all over ourselves. To be
sure, there is lot of real gun-play,
but the guns come from heaven
knows where. They certainly don't
stick out of every pocket the way
western pictures up to date have
shown
There isn't a scene where l 90

keep LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret Of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels
there's no need of having a saliow
complexion-dark rings under your
eyes-pimples- billions look in
your face-du1l eyes with no spar
kle. Your doctor will tell you nine
ty per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known ply
sician in Ohio. perfected a vege-
table compound mixed with olive
oil to act on the liver and bowels,
which he gave to hts patients for
years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel, are gentle
in their action yet always effective.
They bring about that natural
bUoyancy which all should enjoy
by toning up the liver and clearing
the system of impurities.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are
known by their olive color. 15c and

FAMILY WITHOUT
HEAT; DONATION
OF STOVE ASKED

Z A plea for an old heating or
cooking stove to keep a family OF
four, cuddled in two small rooms,
in warmth this winter, is being
made by the Rock Island Welfare
association.
The mother and her two small
children have been without heat
this fall, while the father has been
wandering around in search OF
work. The walls of the two-room
house are damp, and the little tribe
is open to colds and probably 9TH
er sicknesses.
Similar conditions prevail in sew
eral homes, the association has
found. Donations of any stove Will
be called for by the organization

The fact that the Dempsey-Car-
pentier worlds championship box
ing contest, held in Jersey City on
July 2, recorded the significant cir
cumstances that it was the first in
ternationaI bout in which cosmo-
politan and enfranchised women
played so large part. has aroused
a keen discussion on the subject of
women and pugilism.
1t is not only that Mrs. Kermit
Roosevelt, Mrs. Vincent Aston and
other notable society leaders were
present at the ringside, but it is
the dominant note struck by the
tremendous audience of women
from every walk in life.
This historical and sociological
record is preserved for all time
through the medium of the remark
able motion pictures of the contest
now playing at the Spencer Square
theatre.
Notable, as these pictures will
be, as the official record of the
first championship meeting be
tween America and France, they
will be notable also for the record
they bear on the face of them as

WANTS GIRLS TO
HAVE OPEN AIR
LIFE BENEFITS

New York.-Open air life and
healthful games for girls are ia
vored by Mrs Warren G. Harding.
In letter to Mrs Oliver Hartman,
national president of the Camp
Fire girls, the wife of the presi-
dent writes:
Il have never been able to mag
inc any reason why the Camp Fire
girls should not be just as useful
an organization for the girls as the
Boy Scouts. Moreover, it seems to
me that girls need this kind of in
ducement to open air life and
healthful games and occupations,
quite as much as the boys The
part that women play in the world
has been greatly changed even in
my own generation. II has been
broadened and enlarged and we
will be wise if we recognize that a
larger consideration for the health
and physical advancement of the
girls Will better fit them for the
role they must assume"
All the news all the time-The
