For every violation of her laws Ma
ture exacts a penalty; but she also
has wisely provided relief, especially
for the ailments of the human sys-
tenn. Since constipation is the most
common Of ailments. Nature endowed
certain herbs, seeds. barks and leaves
with laxative properties. Early
settlers. dependent entirely upon Ma
ture, used the extracts from these
plants to relieve and correct consti-
pated conditions.
Over Seventy years ago. an old
fashioned Maine country doctor who
didn't believe in harsh catharttcs
originated a prescri. ton known as
DR.. True's Elixir, the True Family
Laxative, which since has given re-
lief to many thousands of constipa-
ton sufferers.
The herbs used in it's preparation
are imported and of strictly pure
quality; it helps to correct the cause
naturally and relieve it's attendant
evils: it purifies the bowels as 1t
cleanses.

cases where DR.. True's Elixir has

".Picd Piper" Historic Parsonage

Browning's famous poem. THE
Pied Piper of Hamelin," is reputed
TO have historic basis. According
to an old chronicler the affair hap
pened, very much as described by
Browning, at the town of Hamel, in
Brunswick, on June &c, 1884. There
came to the town IAN odd kind of
companion" who. for the fantastical
coat which he wore, was called Pied
Piper. He offered to clear the town
of rats for certain sum, ac-
complished his task. was refused his
just payment and, in revenge. piped
the children out of the town, just as
he had done the rats. and led them
into an opening in a hillside. whence
none ever returned. The street
through which the piper conducted
his victims was Bungen, and from
that day to this no music is ever
allowed to be played in this par
ticular street. The old story was
brought to the poets notice by his
father. who himself wrote an anus
ing poem on the subject.

Mark Allan Dwan's Big Production Of
Lawful Larceny"
Allan Dwans new Paramount pro-
duction, Lawful Larceny" which
will be the feature at the Colonial
theatre today and tomorrow, is filled
with scenes of splendor seldom at
tempted by the average picture pro-
Queer. The prologue presents Nita
Naldi as Cleopatra in her court on
the Nile. The atmosphecr of ancient
Egypt was brought to the Long Is
land studio through the erection of
one of the largest sets ever built on
the huge stage. Mia Naldi in the
r2imcnt of the champion charmer of
the world, rcclines on the royal couch,
while huge black slaves fan her and
dcmure handmaidens brings viands
and wine for her pleasure. While

prets an Egyptian dance, Cleopatra
spurns lover after lover in contempt.
All this is shown preparatory to
the appearance of Miss Naldi as Wv
ian Hepburn, a modern charmer. The
Egyptian motif is carried throughout
the picture in Nivian's New York
apartment. which gives vivid coloring
to many of the scenes in this picture.
At the same time Mr.. Dwan has pre-
served all the drama and heart inter-
est of the Story-a swift moving tale
of the intrigues of women against
men and men against women, with
the honor and integrity of a home
hanging in the balance.

a carload of gas to be used to mix

avoid a misunderstanding it would
be better to buy the gas from con-

SEVEN ARE SEIZED
FOR INTOXICATlON
Oyster and Sullivan Pleased by
Great Adherence to Pro-
:. hibition Law.

Seven arrests for intoxication were
made yesterday, five more than the
preceding day, and Commissioner
James F. Oyster, who has supervision
over the police force, and Maj. Daniel
Sullivan, chief of police. believe that
the people of the city should be
proud Of the record. The record
ID so far below the average number
of arrests for drunkenness that offi-
Gals feel that 1t is almost equal
to a ZOE per cent record.
: One of the seven persons arrested
was charged with driving an auto
mobile while under the influence OF
liquor. Members of Maj. Sullivan's
vice squad have been unable to locate
any large quantities of whisky the
past few days, and bootleggers, who
were expected to be very much in
evidence this week, it is stated, are
remaining in the background.
Four persons were arrested yester-
day alleged bootIeggers- 1t was
not stated that they were dispens-
ing the intoxicant to visitors. the
latter having displayed no evidence
Of desiring; such supplies, but the
police aver they were selling to ordinary
resident patrons. Three and one half
pints of whisky were taken from the
persons arrested.
