If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain--the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to medi- cine A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain sys- tenn the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are ia neei ot .s.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case 1t shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale. .
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact. so many people claim, that 1t fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, correets urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

 But today things are different. A few weeks ago one young member of the Near East Relief mission in Armenia got brief vacation and came through Moscow on his way to Warsaw to marry there a lovely Polish girl who had waited for him two years. They had met when he was with the American alfed Cross and she nurse on the Polish bat tlefields against the Russians.
 "I'll be back. In ten days. save a room for us at the hotel" the Amer. ican said blithely and confidently as he left Moscow.
 Six weeks later he returned, with his bride, having miraculonsly un tangled miles of red tape and over come. with the assistance of every official, Polish and American alike in Warsaw and Moseow. obstacles that left both bride and groom too tired to enjoy q honeymoon. W
 In Poland a woman automatically takes on the citizenship of her bus band and, therefore. should lose her Polish passport. American rules, due to the new law, prevent consuls from pasting. foreign wives pictures on hus bands passports. One cannot enter Russia without passport. and it is particularly difficult for a Polish sub ject to secure visa to enter Russia at all American law required this couple to have two passports. his American, hers Polish. Polish law and the Russian difficulties in the way of Poles entering, required them to have one. and this American.
 Finally the young man prevailed upon the Polish authorities to give his wife a Polish passport, and upon an American consular official to give him a letter stating that the couple had been legally married, although the bride was not an American citi- zen. The worried bridegroom pasted his wife's picture on the letter, at tached the letter to his own passport, and finally got through.

nTHE SEA WOLF" LAST hIME AT COLISEUM

Some idea of the large and realis- tic scale upon which Jack London's famous story, "The Sea Wolf" has been made into a motion picture may be gathered from the fact that Pro- sducer George Melford hired a ferry boat and brought in a big schooner outright in otder to stage the >col- .iision between the two crafts in San Francisco Bay The schooner is demolished in. the crash.

BABE RUTH IN BALL PICTURE AT PALACE

Babe Ruth in "Headin Home IS at the Palace tonight and tomorrow. The synopsis of the story is as fol lows:
 Babe, typical bad boy" has ap- parently only one ambition in life al.. that is to become ball player. This ambition is made the laughing stock of skeptical village. Babe is characterized as a "good-for-noth- .ing,.~ and Ahe lives up. to. this reputa- ! ton by doing as little work as possi, 1ble, although at the outset of the tpicture he is found in a dense wood looking for something to chop. The author has guided him to the side of d young ash saplng and, of course Babe chops it down and proceeds to turn the virgin timber into the bat with which he makes his first homer in the Haverlock League. That homer was bird--travelled only five blocks, the ball crashing through memorial window that was to be launched" in the village church, This was too much for the village, In fact, after that incl dent Babe decided to leave town; infact, the church folk handed down a decision that he leave and Babe hurriedly leaps out of town, leaving behind his sweetheart, Mildren. But he doesn't make his departure until after telling the intruding "city chap who has left no stone unturned to harm the village bad boy" that someday he'll be selling popcorn at a ball park where Babe will be the attraction. And sure enough in the scity Babe makes good and in time he is invited to sign contract with a major league team.
