PENDANT in an equity action charging
him with holding property for the

ties amounted to S19,46720 and his
assets $299S.S6. No real estate was
listed in the schedule and on investi-
cation it is alleged, it was found the

any money consideration.
When asked if Chagnon was rela-
tive, Jadoin said: I'VE are related
just a little by politeness." Asked to
explain what he meant "by relation
by politeness." JodOin said his wife
and Chagnon's wife were distant
relatives by marriage of their moth
erS.

between himself and Jodoin and said
he had arranged to return the pro-
perty to- Jodoin and to allow him a
5000 credit after the bankruptcy pro-
Ceedings had taken place and not
before; and that his only motive was
to assist Jodoin in continuing his
business and not in defrauding his
creditors.

brought suit against Chagnon for
recovery of the property or it's value.

of thousands of people with his orig

could not enjoy eating.
For years he suffered from indi-
gestion, sick stomach, lassitude and
sleeplessness. Doctors did not seem
to help him. In his misery he often
thought that he had surely lost the
Joy of living for all time.
But he was wrong. Today he win
smile broadly and tell you he feels
like a new man. His stomach trouble
is gone. He now goes at his work Of
pleasing palates with renewed vigor.
He can eat now without discomfort
and thoroughly enjoy his own food.
This wonderful change he owes to
Munyon's Paw Paw Tonic. Read

ADJUSTMENTS
HUSH! MOVIE SECRET
How Dramatic Scenes Of kick In"
Were Photographed

It isn't only the actor in front OF
the camera who acts-always. Often
the actor who Is supposed to be talking
to the one who is appearing in the
scene stands beside the camera and
speaks the lines which will beget the
necessary and appropriate responses
from the one on whom the camera is
trained.
A case in point was while Betty
Compson was doing one of the most
tense scenes for George Fitznraurice
Paramount production kick H.
which will be the feature al the John
son Opera House today. Bert Lytell'
who. with May McAvoy. is featured in
addition to Miss Compson. holding In
his hand a diamond necklace spoke the
lines and Miss Compson responded
while the camera ground and George
Fitzmaurice directed the scene. At an
other time the positions might be re-
versed and Mr.. Lytell would be in
front Of the lens.
To gain realism. it is better to have
the actual vis-a-vis to carry along the
action than to let the player speak
the speech to blank wall or an un-
feeling camera.-Adv.
