The recovery of Mrs. Harding now
seems assured. The past halt month

The wheel chair to which Mrs.
Harding was confined for the past
few months now has been ylrLualiy
discarded. She is able to walk ABOUT
the rooms Of the White House again,
and almost nightly she presldes ~

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Charlie
Chaplinis latest screen scream
''The Pilgrim" was shown in private
here to a group of critics who were
agreed today it was his best picture
since 'eThe Kid.
1t is his first long picture since
s"The Kid" Charlie is either q con-
vict or q preacher in every scene,
and his mere appearance in either
role is enough to hold his public.
Charlie works his pantomime in
this picture more than ever. It's
easy to believe he got his start on the
stage as pantomimist. It's cruel
thing to say and probably irrelevant
to masculine comedy, but Charlie is
getting older looking noticeably so.
Edna Purviance, who has been; his
lead for years, gets better and better
looking with every filnA she makes
The comedian has a bad start in
Sing Sing, but escapes and changes
his stripes for clerical habit. He
lands in a country town just as the
church members arrive at the station
TO meet their new minister. They
mistake Charlie for him-and then
the trouble starts for them. Charlie
survives q Sunday, in which he
breaches a sermon, serves derby
for pudding at dinner. and thrashes
some old Sing Sing pals. His antics
are as clever and original as ever.
The picture lis 100 per cent broad
comedy. He doesn't attempt his
pathos, which is so touchingly anus
ing at times 1t is not as good pic
ture as .'The Kid" for it doesn't diff
fer>as much from the usual run of
comedy.

she declared that the greater politi-
cal offices that of President and

Mrs. Vanderlip came here to pre-

positions, but she draws the line
at President and governor.

that men who hold such offices fire.

that men have been politicians so

there should be more education of

A Special Combination
Treatment for Women

You will notice in the coupon that ask whether the
treatment is intended for male or female.
This is necessary because the two treatments alb
soutely different to formulas. The female treatment
contains Luten and is particularly recommended for the
ailments to which most commonly subject.
Any Physician will testify to the wonderful value of
Lutein for women's troubles and will also understand
that this substance would be of benefit if administered
in treatment for men. We mention this point of
difference to emphasize the fact that the Lewis Treatment

when l say that l haven't the ready cash
to pay for a horse although your price
seems more than reasonable.
Now, Mr.. Huffman, l would like very
much to own your horse and although, as
say, l haven't the money, l wonder if we
couldn't get together in trade. l have
a number of articles which l might trade.
1 have perfectly good cider mill which
l bought about the time of the 18th amend
ment 1t cost me great deal more than
you ask for your horse but the late spring
frosts the past few years have made
law abiding citizen of me and l could part

could trade off my orchard and not miss it
but as this would be hard to move we
will not consider it.
If you are not interested in cider mill
how about used Ford? This is also hard
to move at times but if 1 get your horse
I might put him with mine and get it to
you in this way. At any rate in case we
trade l will guarantee delivery of the car
if you will guarantee delivery of the horse.
If you will not consider any of the above
offers and must have cash, in case this is
