What DR.. Caldwell Learned
in ~ Years Practice

Or. Caldwell watched the results
OF constipation for AZ years, and be-
lieyed 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 tried to AVOID 1t. OF next
Importance, then, is how to treat 1t
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..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a mild
vegetable compound. It can not
harm the most delicate system and
is not a habit forming preparation.
Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting,
and youngsters love it.. It does not
gripe.- Thousands Of mothers have
written us to that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve OF
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hui
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. In practice of Al years he
never saw any reason for their use
when a 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! It
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let day go by
without bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope, but go to druggist
and get one Of the generous bottles

Be it said, too, that Johnny

FOX THRILLER
ONE OF THE
BEST

The lively art of catching crimi-
nails must be expensive for those
who bear the burden Of the cost.
How much, do you suppose, would
be the expense account of Sir
Frederick Bruce, of Scotland Yard,
for tracking a murderer through
England, India, Persia and across
the Pacific to San Francisco? A
pretty penny, as Sir Frederick
himself might say.
Sir Frederick Is one OF the lead
ing characters in the Fox thriller,
Behind That Curtain" at the Fox
this week. It is the audible pic
turization Of Earl Derr Blgger's
novel of the same title.
Those who read the book, how.
ever, will be bit peeved over the
scant attention given to that most
engaging of Chinese detectives,
Charlie Chan. In the picture, his
part Is confined to half a dozen
Oriental aphorisms and a couple
of silent flashes. But, never mind
1.-THE picture stands up well with

The dialogue slips notoriously

type, inasmuch as the audience
knows who the killer is. beyond
doubt, long before sir Frederick
Bruce does-although, let US
frankly admit the Scotland Yard
man has his suspicious.
The only clue to the murderer
in the possession of Sir Frederick
is a pair of Chinese slippers,
found on the feet of the mur.
dered Hilary Gait in his London
rooms.
ON the day after the murder,
a pretty heiress, secretly wed to
the bounder of her choice. leaves
for India with him, leaving be-
hind a disappointed suitor in John
Beetham, explorer, and a much
chagrined man in her uncle. The
uncle had been enjoying Gait to
look up the bounder's record. but
the murder forestalled the report
on Galts investigation. The
Chinese slippers belonged to John
Beetham. or course, the bounder
did the killing.
Gilbert Emery, recruited from
the stage by Fox to play the
role of Sir Frederick, is real
find. Although he bids fair to
fall into the steady but stultifying
work of being a character actor,
he has vast possibilities.
Emery, Warner and Miss Mo-
ran, by their performances in

About Permanent Waves

Now that summer is here more and
more women will be interested in the
type OF wave called permanent" for
the warm, moist weather of summer
is inclined to take every bit of life
and body out of naturally straight
hair so that it lies limp and dank
and unattractive.
A permanent wave in this weather
proves a real hair blessing, as both
heat and dampness affect it as they
do naturally curly hair, making It
curlier than ever.
The term, permanent, is of course
misleading, since no artificial wave is
ever permanent. But the good So
called "perInsuent" wave lasts usually
from six TO eight months, according
to the type OF hair to which it is
given. And this is longer than any
other type OF wave lasts, except of
course, natural one.
Contrary to the belief of many
women, the good permanent wave does
not injure the hair, if it is in healthy
condition ! know women who have
had at least fifteen permanent waves
ard whose hair is soft and lustrous
quit as healthy and normal as hair
that has never been waved al all OF
