FAIRBANKS SEEN
 IN UNIQUE STORY
Capitol To Present Famed Star Today And Thursday
 In The Nut

In "The Nut" Douglas Fairbanks production for the United Artists, the star has a vehicle that is absolutely made to order. It is not picturized from some widely-read book or fa- nous stage play, but Is an original story written especially for the oc- casion by Kenneth Davenport, and the screen adaptation was prepared by William Parker and Lotta Woods under "Doug's" own supervision.
 The management of the Capitol theatre announces that Fairbanks admirers will have an opportunity to view this versatile actors work from an entirely new angle when the pie ture opens for two days run, start ing today. Not only does he go smashing through five reels of com plicated comedy drama, but he por- trays emotion that has heart touch in it.
 "The Nut" Is especially notable be- cause it Is essentially a studio prod uct. Although the story material was assembled and the plot worked out three thousand miles from the scene of production, yet the actual taking of the picture was accon. plished on the Fairbanks "lot" in Los Angeles. Not a single scene was "shot" outside the high board fence that encircles the studio. All the elaborate ex- teriors. including several Greenwich Village streets, in addition to many lavish interiors, came out of the studio carpentershop and the business office checkboOk

Mckes a Family Supply of Cough Remedy
Really better than ready-made cough syruDs, and saves about SS.
 Easily and quickly prepared.

If you combined the curative prop critics of every known ready made" cough remedy, you probably could not get as much real curative power as there is in this simple homemade cough syrup, which is easily prepared in a few minutes.
 Get from any druggist 21s ounces of Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, syrup, as desired. The result is a full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for ant and never spells.
 This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets right at the cause of cough and gives almost immediate relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irri- tated membranes so gently and easily that it is really astonishing.
 A days use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and bronchial asth- ma, there is nothing better.
 Pinex is most valuable concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and has been used for generations to break severe coughs. To avoid disappointment, ask your drugglst, ior "2A ounces ot Pinexn anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

WORK MUST COME AT TER HAPPY DAY
Blue Mondays Tired Sales Workers Now Ready For
 Fresh Start

If 1t is Blue Monday every week during the year 1t is Indigo Wednes- day" this morning when Birming- hams army of store clerks punch the old time clock with anything but a loving touch.
 It was great old Christmas; but the old counter is giving thousands the hardboiled stare of Old Man Work. The unengaging prospect of cleaning up in the wake of cyclonic buying which damned Christmas doesn't appeal to high hearted young ladies who had interpreted masculine munificence as an indication of im- pending bliss, ana It looked like a hard day.
 In the first place 1t has to be told the old yarn about being swamped with sheikish Santa Clauses. and be- ing led around all day by pecunious youths who used the Yuletide as 6 day of adorauon.
 The oldtimers-those who have seen Christmas come and go with and without the usual eggnog-sug gested 8 day off, and great many took the hint. It is all very well to celebrate the day, they opined, but 1t is best to recuperate afterwards.
 Indications point to slow start In the first place the business of fn- innate dialogue is going to run up to about 15 minutes before lunch hour, and no self-respecting young lady would begin anything until after this is over.
 The day after-tust as the day it. self-found evidences of a gigantic struggle reduced to a cold and be- draggled display of left-behinds in store windows and on store shelves. Just before the force of workers be- gin throwing up barricades of new stock and arranging the old. the scene will be one of desolation.
 If the ladies and gentlemen of the counter are feeling the same way, 1t is only temporary, and present indi- cations point to new life in the old force before any considerable time.
 It's just a matter of looking for ward to New Years, anyhow.
