Vaudeville Circuit Again
Ccmrlete---Shows Here Friday

The vaudeville circuit which has
been supplying the Grand theater
with a weekly four act vaudeville
program, and which was temporary
discontinued May LIST on account of
some Of the Canadian theaters clos
ing vaudeville, has been again COM
pleted, and the regular four act show
together with a five part feature pic
ture will be the program on Fridays
and Saturdays Of each week at the
Grand theater, with the first show
appearing here next Friday, June 3.
AT variance with the regular run
OF motion pictures only, vaudeville
has become very popular in Bemidpi,
especially since arrangements were
made with the circuit which sup
piled the last shows. and the same
which will supply those to come. The
bill this week promises to come up to
standard. Songs, dances, comedy,
and some clever acrobatics, compose
the first Offering, with Warren J.
Kerrigan in 1.-THE Green Flame" as
the motion picture. ..... Fl

Saw. Hearts Really Break.

Poets and romance writer's for ages
have been on arm ground when they
have pictured broken-hearted swans
and maidens. - x.
According to DR.. Strickland Goodail.
q noted heart specialist, 1t Is physl-
illogical fact that hearts do break. But
he says, Joy and not woe or hard WORK
Is more frequently the cause OF
broken heart. In his long experience
he has found that emotion rather than
hard work has been responsible Tor
broken hearts. ~ .5..
Don't get into temper" says Dr..
Goodall. "because 1t increases the
hearts work by seventy-two foot
pounds. Running upstairs is foolish
because the increase is 152 foot
pounds. If man spends one day IN
bed weekly he saves his heart 99S,4N
foot pounds"

TOM MIX AT THE REX y,.a
LAST TIMES TONIGHT

Tom Mix, as usual, ''got" the
crowds at the Rex theater yesterday
when he appeared in his latest Will
liam Fox production, "A Ridin' Ro-
meo." Beside the thrilling scenes
always to be found in Mix pictures,
there is an unusual amount OF hui
morus incidents that are part and
parcel of the story. Mix loves fun,
Just as he loves to do the daredevil
stunts that have made him SO big a
favorit e; and when you know that
Mix wrote the story of "A Ridin'
Romeo" you can realize that Tom
would naturally put many funny
touches in it.
The writing Of this story gave Mix
q chance to recall and put into pic
lures Incidents that really happened
when he was a cowboy on the plains
of Texas and Oklahoma.
You can't go wrong picking this
picture for entertainment.

Two Poison Antidotes.

The old method Of administering
IN emetic in case of poisoning has
given way to a lavage Of the stomach
which Is claimed to have many ad-
vantages over the older process. This
flushing of the stomach must be thor
oughly done and water must be taken
Mt close intervals until about Is pints
have been consumed. This is fol-
lowed by quantity Of animal char
coal taken into the stomach to insure
the absorption Of any poison which
may be left. This takes the place of
old antidotes, although there is moth
ing to hinder one from adding some
of the usual antidotes to the water
made use of for flushing purposes.
