"sIN DAYS" HIT AT PALACE

Elinor Glyn has written an unusual and most absorbing scree, story in "SiX Days" which has been produced for Goldwyn Pictures corporation by Charles Brabin. 1t held the audience last night at the Palace theater where it will be shown for two more days, entirely in its spell. The characters are sympathetic and wildly portra, cd; photography by John Mescall is everywhere satisfactory and in many instances touches the highest pictor- ial beauty. The direction Of Charles Brabin is of the kind that producers dream of but seldom get for their pie lures.
 The beautiful and charming Corinnc Griffith heads the cast as Laline King ston. young American girl engaged to Sir Charles Chetwyr. wealthy Englishman; Frank Mayo Is featured

 Of their peril.
 To avoid its terrible inroads. live the hygienic life all your life and then
 you won't have to try and live il when 1t is too late.
 Locomotor ataxia is disease of the spinal cord and the nerve centers. 1t is caused by syphilitic trouble. No other real primal cause has as yet heen discovered. The progress of the disease is slow. It continues for years. with occasional shooting pains" The sensation may be de- scribed as the variety that comes and goes.
 Sometimes these pain attacks seem rheumatic in character. They may also be called neuralgia pains, or kid- ney stone pains, gall stone trouble and many others, as locomotor ataxia has many aliases. Sometimes these attacks are varied by occasional forms or nausea, ulzZlneSS or seriouo otoii ach trouble.
 At other times you arc disturbed by mysterious pains or sensations which are almost indefinite and inn possible to localize.
 Locomotor ataxia has its inception in the posterior nerve roots, where they attach to the spinal cord. It will then extend into the spinal cord and will finally involve all the nerve tj sues between the posterior arms and also the outside nerve tissues in many cases.
 After some time the nerves of sen sation or pain are destroyed, After this period the afflicted person can- not navigate well. This is the stage we all know, when we sec the one afflicted incapable of coordination m his movements. He is uncertain, insecure and clumsy

Why don't you put them around your neck? You can let them drop down under your blouse" took his advice and started for the station and then realized that was very hungry. l had nothing to eat all day. ! went into modest restaurant where, to my surprise, l found in one corner of the room very much engrossed in each other Ruth Filing ton and Walter Burke.
