 And Friday will bring 10 New Britain Harold Lloyd in The Fresh man for a flve-day stay at the Palace.

GETS QUICK HELP. FUR LUMbACO
Back at work three days after simple home treatment

"Give me relief! Stop this agony!"- that's all you can think of when you're suffering with any acute pain.
 And you can get relief quickly and completely-Tith very simple home treatment.
 "I was in bed with lumbago," "vrites C. L. Normandy of St. Paul, Mime sota. "A friend told me about Sloan's Eminent, and after using it one day, was able to walk around the house. After three days I was able to go to work, and now I'm as well as ever.",
 The reason that Sloan's Liniment gives such remarkable relief is that it gets right at the cause of the pain. It stimulates the circulation throughout the place where the pain is, and clears out the germs that are causing it.
 Right away you feel relief. The pain stops, and soon you are fit as ever. Get bottle today and have it on hand. All druggists-35 cents.

Don't Let That Cold
 Turn Into "Flu"
Rub on Good OId Musferoie


 That cold may turn into Flu" Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub good old MuSterole on the con- gested parts and see how quickly it brings relief.
 Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphOr, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, does the work without blister. Just rub it on with your fnger-tips, You will feel a warm jingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.
 To Mothers: Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterole.

The musical comedy Kathleen"

Friday and aturday-under the
auspices of Frank E. Whitmore post,
American Legion, scored a big sue
cess as a production, and financially.
1t filled Hancock hall two nights,
which in itself is something unusual
for local production.
Running through the entertain
ment was pleasing little plot, just
enough to give added interest and
not overshadow the musical features
and specialties, which were strung
along naturally upon it.
Miss Thelma Detwiler, who per-
sonally directed the production as
representative of the John B.
Rogers Producing Co., was charm
ing in the title role as 1.-The village
sweetheart" but her most effective
work was reflected by the fine sup
port given her by the local cast after
few days of intensive drilling.
She worked hard and effectively, and
her pleasing personality was a large
factor in her success.
The principal characters were as
follows:
Lem Underduck, sheriff and po-
lice force ............ L. c. Fortier
Teckley Bramble, champion
checker player -. James Coughlin
Arabella wilkins, village post
Jimmy Stanton, the poor clerk,
John J. Whitney
Flossie Neverset, who vamps,
Ella May Bridges
Kathleen, the village sweetheart.
Thelma Detwiler
Michael Flynn, wealthy and hard
hearted ..... Harold Hawkes.
Hans Swindler, the grocer,
Howard Higgins
Ned Rolingston a college chap,
Morton Whitcomb
Higgins, the butler. Frank E. Anderson
Commander Fortier, on behalf of
the post, expresses appreciation of
the splendid support given by the
public, and thanks all who assisted
in the production.
