Romance Of Big Top
Seen In Suing High

To those who think that the hey
day of the circus HcaS passed, Pathe's
new musical circus romance Swing
High" will particularly appeal. For
this spectacular talkie deals with life
under the Big Top as it existed in
1875-tlle most picturesque period in
circus history.
In those days the circus had no
machinery to put up and take down
it's tents, no mechanical contrivan-
ces for loading its paraphernalia on
railway flat cars, no tractors to pull
the heavy loads to and from ship
ping points.
Instead, its Big Top was erected
and torn down ny hardy, singing
roustabouts who piled their Sledge
hammers with amazing skill. It
moved from town to town by means
of its own wagon train, bad weather
often meaning lmired wagons and a
delay in the performance in the
next town. When 1T was necessary
to handle unusually heavy loads,
elephants were employed.
The glamour and romance of the
circus at its picturesque best is con-
tanned i'm "Swing High" wl1iCh will
be seen at the Fox Nogales Theatre
tomorrow and Thursday.

VXTHAT many people call indigestion
w very often means excess acid IN
the stomach. The stomach nerves have
been over-stimulated, and food sours.
The corrective is an alkali, which quickly
neutralizes acids. And the best alkali
known to medical science is Phillips
Milk of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless. taste
less alkali neutralizes instantly many
times as much harmful acid, and then
the symptoms disappear at once. You
will never use crude methods when once
you learn the efficiency of this. Go get
a small bottle to try.

Dealer examine your tires for any
tread cuts that might fill with dirt
and moisture, causing later trouble
states Mr.. Alvarez. "And it also
is a wise plan to have new centers
placed in the inner tube valves so
that the tires will not lose air while
on a continued grind and perhaps
deflate to a point where they will
cause damage to the casing because
of being run soft.
Most of my customers make a
point of having weekly pressure
check and tire examination while
on long trips, thus minimizing the
danger of trouble while on the
road.
"When touring the motorist is
apt to cover many miles of rough
road and numerous stretches of
construction where sharp pieces of
gravel are forced into the tire tread
and cause serious damage if not
found and extracted"
Mr.. Alvarez stated that any Fisk
Service Station will be glad to ex-
tend this free tire examination
service to the motoriSt.
