Just as Americans amuse notables
from abroad by showing them round
ups in the COW country so the Japa-
nese are able to entertain their visi-
tors by initiating them into the pc
turesque mysteries of cOrmorant fish
ing in their back country" says a bull
letin issued from the Washington, d.
c., headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society. Continuing in a de-
scription of the queer method of fish
ing with trained birds recently exhibit
ed for the prince Of Wales, the bulletin
says:
Fishing with trained cormorants
seems to be as ancient as Japanese
history, for an old poem in regard to

Look Awkward, Dive Like a Fish.
"The birds that play the stellar role
in this queer sport-industry are like
large, black, awkward-looking ducks.
But their apparent awkwardness is
highly deceptive; and they possess a
marked degree of intelligence. Placed

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD. TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-lnown authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the Kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them. like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache.
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full OF sediment, channels often
get sore, water scaids and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult a good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast Tor few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with fithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to HeltraIiza ACIDS in the urine so it
no longer irFitates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
, Jad Salts is a life saver FOR regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
inIure and makes 8 delightful, effer-
rescent lithia ter drink.

'3L|NE GHOSTS" At
TIE RIALTO TO-DAY

For today and tomorrow the Ri
alto is offering one of the smartest
and most brilliant comedies to reach
the screen in a long time. II is
George F'itzmaurice's latest Para
mount production, ''Three Live
Ghosts" This is the attraction, it
will be remembered that created such
a furore during its engagement AT
Grauman's million dollar theater IN
Los Angeles. and has been reported as
a particularly happy combination OF
humor and surprises. Norman Kerry
and Anna @. Nillson essay the lead
ing roles and Paramount has seen to
it that a brilliant supporting cast has
been assembled.
The central idea of the comedy is
the unexpected return of three bud
dies each given up for dead, their
return being under the most pecul-
lar circumstances and their actions
after their return adding fuel to the
fire in furnishing a most delightful
thread of wholesome comedy. The
central characters are an American
a London cockney, and duke or the
nobility. The American is reported as
An embezzler the coclSney the sweet
heart of a girl who. is trying her best
to thwart his stepmother's plans for
collecting his insurance, and the duke

BLACK PANTHER'S
CUB" COMES TODAY
TO THE COLUMBIA

w. X. Ziegfeld's big master pro-
duction, 1.-THE Black Panther's Cub"
produced at an actual cost of $250.000,
opens a limited engagement OF two
days at Mauk's Columbia theater this
afternoon 1t is based on Swinburne's
immortal poem, "Faustine." One of
the finest casts ever assembled for
a photoplay has been selected by Mr..
Ziegfeld for this spectacle, including
Florence Reed, Norman Trevor, Ty-
rome Power, Earle Foxe William Ro-
selle, Henry Stephenon, Paula Shay
and Paul Ducet.
Adapted from the popular story by
Ethel Donoher. the screen version is
a swiftly moving drama which unfolds
amid the glittering effervescence Of
Parisienne cafes and gambling
circles.
'.Faustine," or the "Black Panther"
a feted cOUrtesan, is the mistress of
a notorious gambling palace in Paris.
Society and the nobility of more than
one country flock TO her establish
ment and are eager to be caught in
the snares of her scintillating charms.
Florence Reed, in the final scene be-
tween mother and daughter, in which
the mother dies from a shot intended
for another, lifts the picture above
the thrill of melodrama to the living
tragedy of life squandered past all
reclaiming, in despair lest its influ-
ence fall heritage upon innocent
shoulders. Miss Reed has reached
the pinnacle OF her success in this
difficult dual role.
The production is lavishly staged.
Emile Chautard, the director. is a
native or Paris and has reproduced
accurately the garish splendor Of
night life on the Montemarte. In
contrast, one sees the unequaled
beauty and tranquility Of English
country life. There is a touch of the
allegorical in it when the story goes
back to the days Of gladiatorial COM
bat and moments of the original
Faustine's cold and calculating
tyranny.
Miss Reed is ideally suited to the
role which she has been given and
distinct characterizations first as
"Faustine," the keeper of a notorious
gambling palace: second as Faust
ines" daughter who has been reared
in the refinement of a quiet English
country estate; third as the pseudo
"F'austine," who returns to Paris in
the role her mother formerly held,
and last as the bedraggled old hag,
the original "F'austine" who has sunk
