OF This
Great
Medicine

Mrs. Pearl Fletcher
People who use Miller's Herb
Extract formerly called Hero
Juice), frankly admit that they
cannot understand how any one
medicine can do a person SO
much good. Every day in the
week reports come in telling OF
the wonderful relief this medicine
has given in chronic cases OF long
standing, Mrs. Pearl Fletcher,
712 No. Columbus ST., Alexandria
Va, said: II gained 35 pounds
after taking four bottles OF this
Herb Extract, which think IS
nothing short of a miracle as my
case had seemed almost hopeless
For two years I was simply a
nervous wreck and lost in weight
until only weighed elghty-tlVe
pounds; my trouble all came from
q badly disordered stomach, con
stipation and a torpid liver, but
medicines used helped very little
if any at all. 7 was hardly able
to eat thing, always felt sick at
my stomach, pains kept my nerves
on edge and I often lay awake
for hours at night unable to
sleep or rest, my arms and hands
would tingle, felt weak all over
and when morning came I Was
simply worn out. My first bottle
of this medicine helped me a
great deal and as I said before l
gained thirtv-fiVe pounds on the
four bottles I have now used.
This medicine not only relieved
me of my former trouble, but has
also cleansed and regulated my
, entire system, I do not have a
sign # stomach trouble, eat just
what I want, bowels act regu-
larly, am not troubled in the
least with my nerves and rest
well at night. Every one in the
family has tried this medicine
and my husband says 1t is won
derful remedy for gas, indigestion,
constipation. I know I owe my
present good health to this medl-
cine and gladly give this state
ment which I hope will be of
; some help to Others" See the

SUNNY SIDE UP" IS
 HELD OVER ONE MORE
 NIGHT AT COLISEUM

Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in Sunny Side Up" have proved SO popular that the Coliseum will show this feature again tonight for the last two times.
 Sunny Side Up" is a musical comedy and it affords the two stars an opportunity of appearing in new roles. Sharon Lynn, Ed Brendle, Marjorie White and Frank Richardson are in the supporting cast.
 There is also a chorus of 100 dancing and singing beauties and six song hits, which are as follows:
 Sunny Side Up,' If I Had a Talking Picture of You" "You've Got Me Pickin' Petals off of Dais- ies,' Turn On the Heat" You Find the Time. I'll Find the Place, " "It's Great to be Necked,' and I'm Dreamer, Aren't We All?"
 The scene of the story is laid on the East Side, New York City, the opening talking place on Fourth of July. It shifts to the seaside and then back again. It is all fine conn edy with just little pathos thrown in for good measure.

WASHINGTON Back to London where she got her gay repertoire of music hall ballads, Ruth Bryan Owen, of Florida, amateur enter tainer goes this month.
 Her mission is most dignified, and very official-first woman delegate to represent the United States at the inter-parliamentary union.
 But there will be intervals and interludes, and other musical pauses in the serious business of states manship. For wherever Ruth Bryan Owen goes, spontaneous songs and impromptu instrumental melodies are on tap for informal occasions.
 Adept at playing "by ear" she can improvise on piano, organ, har- monica. But her favorite music maker is her faithful concertina, veteran of many campaigns, and, if the truth must be told, a bit worn and wheezy now.
 one bought IL Tn Jamaica, where her late husband, Major Reginald Owen, British army, was engaged in engineering work after their marriage in 1910.
 It went with her to London where she and Mrs. Herbert Hoover held the joint position of secretary and treasurer of the economic commit tee of the American women's war relief fund.-
 That was when she began spe- cializing in haunting, romantic Lon don ballads. These stood her in good stead when she went to Egypt in 1915 as army nurse, and became one of group giving entertain ment to soldiers wounded in the Palestine campaign.
 Now, in the official society of Washington, they are still in ever increasing demand. Mrs. Owen un- doubtedly will bring back important data regarding the inter political relations of nations. But she also will have tucked away in some small corner of her brain a few brand new London music hall bal lads.

 Many believe that the Isle of Pines is the locale of Stevenson's Treasure Island Its landmarks correspond with those in the en- trancing story which has kept more than one youngster awake of nights
 Cuba claims 50 per cent of all treasure trove, and it is said that the government recently made a find of it's own This find, so rumor had it, was made by con- victs at the Isle of Pines prison, who while quarrying marble, came upon the entrance to cave which was filled with mysterious chests.
 Nothing was heard of the chests after they had been sent to Ha- wanna to be examined, so the ru- nor went. Whether there was any truth in the story is doubtful, but it has served to revive interest in pirate caches.

HIGH VOLTAGE" STILL
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

High Voltage" will be shown for the last two times at the Coli scum tonight. It tells a dramatic story Of six persons of widely diff ferent character and temperaments, who are marooned in a wayside chapel in the High Sierras, when the notorious in which they arc riding, becomes snow-bound. One is a deputy sheriff, another is an underworld mol whom he has cap- tured, while the others arc a veal thy banker, young girl who is hurrying East to be married, and an eterna1ly optimistic bus driver. These persons are thrown together in mutual cause when they face starvation, but the loves and hates and weaknesses and strengths of each character is wildly brought to the fore through the unusual circumstances which surround n d them.
 In High Voltage" William Boyd appears in one of the virile roles for which he is famous, while Owen Moore, Carol Lombard, Diane Ellis, Billy Bevan, and Phillips Smalley are all said to exhibit their mastery of the new talking picture technique.

BIG SPECIAL TALKIE
 COMING TO PALACE

The making of a talking picture such as "Alibi," Roland Vests un- derworld thriller for United Ar tists, involves an entirely new scheme cf things in studio tech- niquc.

"Alibi7 is the special attraction at the Palace Theatre soon.
 Gone are the time-honored mega phones and the shouted orders of the directors, the hustle and hustle the chatter of hundreds of people on the sets, the music Of orchestras getting aetcrs into the proper mood for the scenes, the sputter and crackle of Kleig lights.
