Indigestion
May Lead to
Appendicitis

Repeated attacks of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
tend to the appendix, which usual
" becomes infected through the
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.
1t doesn't pay to ignore even the
most simple warnings of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, con-
stipation ,biliousness, dizzy spells
and palpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.
If you are subject to any form c
stomach distress, don It fail to try q
bottle of Smith Bros. M. A. c., the
guaranteed stomach treatment. This
wonderful medicine usually gives
prompt relief from all discomfort.
In fact, it is sold on positive
guarantee of money back if the first
bottle fails to do so. A large bot.
tie costs but $1.25. Loynd's Drug

Before an audience that filled the
Palace Airdome to capacity last
night, the premiere showing of
""The White Sister, took place
here. The film is an adoption of
+. Marion Crawford's old romance
that thrilled readers so many years
ago when it was one of the best
sellers of its day.
Miss Lillian Gish is seen in the
title role and her wistful appeal,
which always charms many specta-
tors, seemed to be quite appropriate
to the role she was pOrtraying. An
actress of the more modern type
with an air of independence and
assertiveness would have been
quite out of character. AS Donna
Angela Chiarmonte, daughter of a
noble house of Italy who has been
reared amid luxury and shielded
from worldly cares by a wealthy
father, Miss Gish as an impression
able, sensitive girl, easily imposed
upon by more dominant persons,
does admirable work.
The story which is laid amid
beautiful settings in Italy, scenes
of richly furnished palaces and
homes, lovely gardens, and with
Mount Vesuvius always in the
background, tells a tragic love tale.
Angela after much trouble due to
her fathers death and a domineer-
ing half-sister, receives news that
her sweetheart is dead. She en-
ters convent of the White Sis
ters. The lover returns and at this
point many of the most drastic
episodes occur. They renounce their
love when she refuses to break her
vows as nun. Later the lover is
killed during an eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
The lava belching mountain pro-
vides excellent material for a num-
Der of unusual Photographic
scenes. An actual eruption of this
famous volcano was photographed.
The picture will be shown again
tonight and tomorrow night at the
Airdome unless weather conditions
force an indoor showing, as they
did last night.
