business have divided his atten.
ton ever since. After the Span.
ish-American conflict he main.
tained his connection with the
army, while steadily forging ahead
first on the stage and then on the
screen. Shortly after the conclu-
son of the military argument with
Spain, he played his first stage
role. in a New York presentation
Of "Sidetracked."
Stone made exceedingly rapid
progress on the stage, and was
starred In such notable New York
productions as The Misleading
Lady," Inside the Lines" and
Where Poppies Bloom" He
then came to Los Angeles, where.
he became the matinee idol Of
John Blackwood's famous Belasco
stock company.
His first screen role was, with
Bessie Barriscale in "Honor's Al
tar" for Thomas H. Ince. An
engagement on the stage opposite
Maude Fulton In 1.-THE Brat" then
took him away from pictures, and
the outbreak of the World War
recalled him to his military duties.
At the conclusion Of the war he
was made major in the reserve
corps Of the Army, and every year
he spends a month at the Of
ficers' training camp, in lieu of
a vacation. Mr.. Stone is now on
long-term contract as a First Ma

his more recent pictures are: ''The

DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results oil
constipation for AZ years and be-
lieved that, no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur from
time to time, regardless of how much
one tries to avoid it. OF next impor-
tancc, then, is how to treat it when
it comes. DR.. Caldwell always was
in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for
constipation, known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is mild vege-
table compound. 1t cannot harm the
most delicate system and is not a
habit-forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is tasting, and young
sters love it. 1t does not gripe.
Thousands of mothers have written
us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. In a practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use
when medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more cleanly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation! 1t
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let day go by without
a bowel movement. Do not sit and
hope, but go to druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. Take the
proper dose that night and by morn
