EDGAR BUNCH CATCHES
GIANT SPECIES BULLFROG

Edgar Bunch, young son of Mr..
and Mrs. Zee Bunch, who live in
Brooklyn Heights, exhibited TODAY
a giant bullfrog, which ne had cap
tured near his home. The lad found
the frog under the home of G. w,
Bradford, in the community where
his parents live, and handled it
with bare hands, being utterly un-
afraid. The frogs legs measured
6 inches in length, and the bow
said he had not determined what
he would do with his prize.

New Dog Pound Is Model
Concrete Structure Replaces One Destroyed by Fire.

TO Bart Crowther. pound master.
"But T is surprising fact" says
Mr.. Crowther. "that more owners do
not visit the pound il quest d their
dogs. 1t is no uncommon occurrence
for The owner of dog TO leave him
in the pound after the 72-hour period. ="
Every preeaution is taken by those
in Charge OF the pount TO prevent
spread of disease. Not only is every
cage in the pound disinIected regular
ly. but after every load of prisoners
is placed il the pens the dog catchers
wash out their wagons roughly be-
fore they resume their duties of roping
the stray CANNES throughout the res
idential districts.
The cost of the new building amount
cd TO about $1,000. But it has only
one objection, as far as he is con-
cerned. said Mr.. Crowther. and that
is that the home for dogs is finer
and newer than his office, which
stands several feet from the new struc.
ture. This office, as he calls it. APP
parently is about 100 years old. How
ever. Mr.. Crowther says he believes
it is not quite that ancient in spite
of the fact that hesremembers seeing
it there more than 43 years ago and
it was old then.

A HUMAN INTEREST FILM.
RialtO Has Story of Children Whose
Problems Are Worked Out IN Life.

Although tine story is old, some of
the acting not so good and IN general
the picture is anything but a MASTER
piece, yet "Children of the Dust" at
the Rialto this week is as gripping u
picture as has been seen in San An
tonic for some time. All the way
( through the picture the spectator finds
Il inifstif drawn into the emotional APP
peal of the story, and even if it Is
somewhat melodramatic, the problems
Of the children are SO real that it
touches the heart strings.
The child actors are little mature
In their acting but this is permissible
when done as well as it is in Chill
dren of the Dust" Scenes are Iaid
in Grammercy Park, New York, about
1900 and one Of the most interesting
parts of the picture is the styles OF
that period and even the manners. To
an older person familiar with the time,
the picture is worth seeing just for the
sake of old times. In the little park
where only the rich children are sup
posed to play, there drifts a poor boy.
He becomes the playmate of a rich lit
He boy and girl. each the last of
their aristocratic lines. He is the
first of the Terwilligers."
A war scene is dragged in later
which mars the spell of the story.
Some of the acting is poor and some
excellent, but simplicity, charm and
childish problems make the picture
tripping.

Apparently the plea for better homes
reached Phil Wright. commissioner of
fire and police, and Gus Nigsli. city
building inspector, for both have busted
themselves during the last several
weeks in constructing one Of the mott
up-to-date dwellings l., Texas. How
ever, it's for dogs that happen to run
astray and are caught in the moose
thrown by the experienced arm of the
hated dog catcher.
About six weeks ago tie old frame
dog pound was destroyed by fire and
several pet Fidos persisted. Immedi-
ately Mr.. Wright ordered the con-
struction OF a new and fireproof build
ing. located on the outskirts of Brack-
cnridge park.
An owner need have no fear as to
the welfare of Fido. provided he balls
him out of the pound. within a. hours
after he is captured BY the dog catch.
erS. for in the new and permanent
structure the dogs have the best of
sleeping quarters as well as space to
romp and play. No sick dog is placed
in the pound and owners Of NANCY
pups are the ones that must needs
fear. for dogs with contagious dis
eases are killed and eremated soon af-
ter their arrival at the Jail.
After the dog has been in the pound
for ~ hours and no one has expressed
intentions of buying him or the owner
has not paid the poun fee, he is
shot and the body cremated. OF course
the dogs which are considered valua-
bic are not executed at once follow
ing the 12-hour period. 1t is only
the poor little houn' that has only ~
hours in which to live after he is
captured.

Richard Barthelmess, as "The

Sweek, does everything in his very con-
siderable power as an actor TO make
dramatic aud picturesque but un-
convincing story seem logical and
probable.

castle after being taken prisoner, aud
in "Thomsine's" room wnere she con-
ceals him from his pursuers and helps
him to escape, shows Barthelmess III
as fine acting as he has ever done.
Many of the scenes OF the picture
are exceedingly brilliant and dramatic,
notably the scene of the wedding feast
in the great hail of Staversham castle
with its startling interruption, and the
costumes and stage-settlngs Of the
play as q whole are unusually beau
tiful and interesting. The acting as
a whole, is good, but not remarkable
except Bartnelmess, who has seldom
played a more appealing part than
that of the young puritan soldier OF
fortune.

SAN ANTONIO MAN
SAYS 1T ENDED 3
YEARS SUFFERING
Enjoys Meals Since Taking
the Plant Juice; Former
Distress Is Gone.

| Another well known San Antonio
man who publicly indorses this sur
prising herbal medicine, Plant Juice,
for the good il has done him is Mr..
X. NJ. McClung. a retired resident of
this city who lives ON River Avenue,
San Antonio.
| Mr.. McClung recently called on
The Plant Juice Man at Sommers'
drug store. Houston and Navarro
streets, and related how he had suf-
fered from. bad stomach trouble for
| three years and had never been able
TO find anything to relieve him and
how this Plant Juice preparation has
ended the trouble.
ut seemed like none of the food
that ate would digest right but
would ferment in my stomach and
cause gas and boating" Mr.. Nc
| Chung said. Il had been in this
condition for the last three years. i
had no appetite at all and had pains
in my stomach and also had aches
and pains in my back. ] was often
very short of breath and the exertion
of going up stairs would cause my
heart TO palpitate which would make
me weak and l thought at times
that l had heart trouble. Besides
this. my liver was sluggish and j
was restless and would wake up four
or five times during the night and i
| felt tired and worn out all the time.
was troubled badly with constipa-
| ton SO that L would have TO take
strong purgatives.
II tried 4 great many different
medicines but with very little relief
and then / heard Of your Plant Juice
medicine and started taking it and
will say that it surely has done me q
| lot of good. | have a fine appetite
now and food does not distress me
but instead. / enjoy my meals. The
pains in my side and back are much
relieved: the ronstipated condition is
| much improved. and, in short. L am
| feeling better in every way. i was
! troubled also with catarrh before ]
took Plant Juice and had that
dropping feeling in my throat but
this, seems to be much better now"
This Plant Juice is made from
medicinal juices which are extracted
from natures roots. herbs and leaves.
and many people say it seems TO act
like magic upon the system in gem
nral. San Antonio people are now
daily testifying to the surprising ef-
feet of the Plan tJuice upon the
stomach, liver and kidneys and some
of the local cases in which this
medicine has brought relief almost
border upon the amazing.
The Plant Juice Man is at Som
mers' drug store. Houston and Ma
varro streets. San Antonio. where
he is daily meeting the local public
and introducing and explaining the
merits of this remedy. Free samples
given.
Plant Juice is sold also in San
Antonio at all of the other Sommers'
drug stores.
