In the midst OF ChatrandS per-
Torrance of magic and mind read
ing, a person in the audience is shot
and killed. Doctors are called and
the man attended. The police ar
rive on the scene and call the cap
tain. The house manager tries to
still the audience, and everything is
confusion.
The whole affair occurred over a
locket that the mans companion
was wearing. In the midst Of all
the excitement on the stage, Chat
rand disappears and the police try
to find him.
1t is from this time on that the
play takes on that Semblence. To
this point the audience had been
involved as much as the actors. The
police refuse to let anyone in the
auditorium leave. They are all
uShred back to their seats after
the first internission by the officers
who guard the doors to see that no
one leaves the theater
After the curtain goes up on the
second act the scene is laid in the
dressing rooms of the magician.
Then it shifts onto the stage. 1t is
in this scene that Chatrand gives a
Seance to try to show up the guilty
person. 1t is very strange proceed
ings for a play. More pistol shots
are fired and again it seems that the
magician has escaped.
The third act is the second scheme
of the magician to try to save HIM
self and his assistant, both of whom
are accused Of having committed
the crime. This involves the whole
shoWup to the point where the muir
der was done. 1t is at that time
that the real murderer is caught.
Just why the doctor. for it was
he that fired the shot, should want
to kill the man is rather thinly eX-
planned. Several other points. that
while they have no great bearing
on the outcome of the plot, are left
seeming unaccounted for.

WHEN YOUR
HAND GOES TO
YOUR HEART

Difficulty in breathing and heart
palpitation arc symptoms of high
blood pressure, which may cut off
life suddenly. Our modern habits
of life are responsible, putting too
great a strain upon the vital organs,
especially the liver.
When the liver becomes '1imp"
or sluggish it fails to cleanse the
blood of the toxic poisons formed
in food waste. The poisons then
permeate the system, affecting stom-
ach, kidneys, heart and blood pres
sure.
The liver occasionally needs lit
tie help, and there's nothing better
for this, as medical men today
know, than a little OK gall. Ok gall
is a great natural stimulant for the
human liver, promoting its normal
active functioning, so essential to
real health. Dioxol tablets are gen.
uine OK gall in dainty and tasteless
form, each tablet representing 10
drops of pure OK gall. A few bring
impressive results. To be sure of
getting the genuine OK gall, be sure

 Policy of Peace
 Attachment to the policy of peace, MT Coolidge declared, was second among the nations of this hemisphere only to the attach ment to the principle of self-gov- ernment.
 Their chief efforts have been devoted to the arts of people," he continued. "They have never come under the delusion of mili- tary grandeur. Nowhere among these republics have great mili- tary establishments ever been maintained for the purpose If over-awing or subjugating other nations.
 We have all nourished a com mendable sentiment of moderate preparation for national defense, believing that for a nation to be unreasonably neglectful of the military art, even if it did not in. vite and cause such aggression az to result either in war or in ab- ject humiliation, it must finally lead to a disastrous disintegration of the very moral fiber of the nation. But it is one thing to be prepared to defend our rights as a last extremity and quite an other to rely on force where rea- son ought to prevail.
 No Dynastic Wars
 "The form of our governments guarantees us against the Old World dynastic wars. It is scare j. ly too much to say that the con- flicts which have been waged by our republics for 150 years have been almost entirely for the pur- pose of securing independence and extending the domain of human freedom. When these have been accomplished, we have not faile l to heed the admonition to beat our swords into plowshares."

HIGH PRICES LURE WOMEN
 JUDGE SAYS

LONDON, Jan. i5. Philoso- l phizing from the bench on the Vaccinations of shopping, Mir. Jus tice McCardie, London's bache- Tor judge, held that women are often lured not by bargains, but by high prices.
 Men, too, like buying expensive things, the court pointed out dur ing the trial in the Kings bench division of a firms suit against woman who had contracted for lot of fashionable clothes for which she had never paid.
 'I really believe that if cham pagne were six pence bottle, 1" remarked the judge, tomorrow far less of it would be drunk"
 Justice McCardie discussing the attraction of high prices with plaintiff's counsel fearlessly sug- gested that women favor fur coats chiefly on account of their costliness.
 Women who can afford it," commended the judge. usually buy clothing on the first point that 1t would be expensive, it seems to me-"
 Justice McCardie went on to say that in a previous case he had been greatly surprised to hear of the enormous cost of dye ing silver fox skins.
