SPECTATORS GRIP SEATS AS
CARTER PICTURE UNREELs

Master of MeIodrama Does Spec.
taeular Work in 1.-THE Arizona
Express"
Lincoln ]. Carter's forte, estab-
lished by a lifetime devoted to the
production of stage melodramas. is
thrills. He is considered, and rightly
so, the king Of melodrama. 1t is to
be expected, therefore, that when a
melodrama is conceived in his brain
and presented on the motion picture
screen with it's boundless physical
possibilities, 1t should be a thriller in
every sense of the word. This Is
absolutely true in the case of 1.-THE
Arizona Express" the William Fox
production presented for the first
time at the Opera house Yesterday
afternoon and evening.
Carter has Imagined an up to- date
story and applied to it the rules Of
melodrama WITH telling effect.
The good old melodrama has a
place on the screen-a great big
place. An excellent cast appears in
this production. Pauline Starke is the
ingenue lead. Harold Goodwin plays
the Juvenile male lead. Others in the
cast are Evelyn Brent. David Butler,
Anne Cornwall. Francis Macdonald.
Frank Beal and William Humphrey.

its organization in 1899, in con-
junction with the Grand Army of
the Republic, and other veteran and
patriotic organizations. Year by
year the ranks of the Grand Army
of the Republic become thinner;
their will to do though strong can
not overcome the handicap of the
ever pressing years; so let US carry
on the work in a way to deserve

Riley's can Old Sweetheart Of Nine"
At the Colonial Today and Tomorrow

"An Old Sweetheart Of Mine"
(James Whitcomb Riley)
AS one who cons at evening Ger an
album all alone,
And muses. on the faces of the friends
that he has known;
So turn the leaves of fancy till, in
shadowy design
find the smiling features of an old
sweetheart of mine.
The lamplight seems to glimmer with
q flicker of surprise,
AS turn 1T low to, rest me of the daz-
zle in my eyes,
And l light my pipe in silence, save q
sigh that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco and to vanish
with the smoke.
'Tis a fragrant 'retrospection-for the
living thoughts that start
Into being are like perfume from the
blossom OF the heart;
And to dream the old dreams over is a
luxury divine
When my truant fancy wanders with
that old sweetheart Of NINE,
But, ah! my dream is broken by a step
upon the stair,
And the door is softly opened, and
my wife is standing there;
Yet with eagernesS and rapture all my
visions l resign
To greet the living presence of that old
sweetheart of mine.

IF BACK HURTS
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat, also take glass of Salts before breakfast
 occasionally

Too much meat may form uric acid. which excite the kidneys; they become overworked; get sluggish, ache and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the blad- der Is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel dull misery in the kidney region: you suffer from back ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom- ach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad glass Of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimu- late them 10 norma activity, also to help neutralize the acids in urine, SO it no longer is source of irritation, thus often ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes delightful effer- vescent lithia water drink which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in correcting kidney trouble while 1t is only trouble.
