The Columbus aerial cop was to
have his wings clipped today,

against criminals who see fit to
take the air after robbing q

AT THE MOVIES
AT THE CAPITOL

A good many decades ago, accord
ing to legend, a lone wolf stalked to
the summit of a peak in the noun
tain region of Kentucky, pointed
his nose toward the sky, and stood
silhouetted against the darkening
clouds. His head lifted heavenward,
the wolf sent forth his dismal cry.
TO the mountain folk of that isola-
ted region, the howl of the beast
came as an i'll omen.
That lis the reason the valley
sprawled between the mountain rid
ges became known to the inhabitants
as Valley of the Wolf. That is
the reason, also, why Jack Pick
ford, youthful screen star and indie
pendent producer, selected the Val
ley of the Wolf, as the locale
for his latest Allied Producers and
Distributors Corporation release,
The Hill Billy which comes to
the Capitol Theatre tonight.

WHY BLAME THE STOMACH FOR SO MANY TROUBLES?|

"Why couldn't l get the answer long ago? The stomach being SO far from rheumatic pains 1t could not be connected with being, in any way, responsible for such troubles. Then 1t was learned that medical authori- ties agree that the stomach Is the source of many of our body ailments. Indigestion Is known as one of the first troubles to develop from ac- cumulated acids in the stomach. That explained a whole lot-now 1t is easy to see why distressing headaches, loss of energy. constipation. rheuma. tism. skin diseases and Il rundown system are so common with most of us. They are results of poisons ab- sorbed by the system from a stomach not functioning as nature provides. That the stomach could be made we'll and healthy and resultant troubles overcome so easily was not realized until that wonderful medicine FER RALINE. WAS tried. It's great merit has been proven in thousands of cases. It simply aids nature in re- storing the stomach to normal and overcoming the many complaints due to absorbed poisonB.
