right where we are now, and

It's taught us one important
fact-that we haven't got as

we had. We used to think ev-
cry head of big organization
was big man" and he was as
long as everything was running
in spite of him.
But when old man "get back

we didn't have an industry that
shrunk like the big man" in

like stocks now, they are SELL

Fat Men

I don't care how fat you are or how much you hate to get out and walk couple of miles If you will take one half teaspoon of Kru- schen Salts in glass of hot water every morning for weeks and cut out pastries, sugar and fatty meats
 You will feel so good-so ener- getic and the urge for activity will be so great that you will immensely enjoy daily walk of several miles and lose fat.
 While you are losing fat you will be gaining in energy-in endurance in ambition. Your skin will grow clearer and your eyes will sparkle with the good health that Kruschen brings.
 Just try one 85c bottle of Kru- schen Salts; it will last you 4 weeks. After you have taken one bottle the old arm chair won't hold you any more-you'll want to be up and doing-you'll enjoy work-youll sleep like 8 top and probably live years longer. Get Kruschen at Ju- neau Drug Go. or Butler Mauro Drug Go. or any live druggist in America with the understanding that you must be joyfully satisfied or money back.
 w. R. Daniels of Richmond Hill, N. Y. writes: After 2 bottles of Kruschen, I've removed inches from my belt, feel 259o more &C., tive mind is clear, eruptions have disappeared. Am 46 yrs. old and feel 20 yrs. younger. I get up feel ing 1O0fo. Kruschen sure is great!"

ly, without realizing the enormity of the crime.
 A week later, in Buffalo, Tony joined a small summer stock com- pany as utility man, and wrote his parents that he had decided to go on the stage. He did not mention Harriet in his letter nor in any way hint that she might have been the cause of his sudden departure. He said that he had come to real ize how much his happiness de- pended upon his being an actor; and that he had left home because he feared if he remained he would not be permitted to follow his own choice of career.
 The old actor recalls this period of his life with an odd blending of sadness and humor. He says: T think my parents could have for given me for absconding with the Dramatic Club funds. But my choice of the stage in preference to the pulpit was a blow from which they never recovered. That the name of Latour should be con- nected, even in this way, with the

quainted with Roy Donovan, con- i nected in some business capacity with one of the companies with which Antonio worked. No one seemed to know much of his his tory beyond the facts that he had spent much of his life in the west and had roamed widely over the world, and it was generally held that the less known. the better 1t i would be for Donovan.
 About the time Antonio first met him, Donovan married an actress a Mrs. Carey, a widow with one child, boy named Bruce. Her stage name was Aline Easterly. She and her son were working un- der Donovan's management when the mother was killed in a train wreck. Donovan kept the boy as his own son. How much of his interest in Bruce. was due to his love for the boys mother, a real affection for the lad, or his belief that his step son under his management would some day bring him substantial financial return for his trouble, is a question. That Roy Donovan's in terest in the theater was wholly commercial, no one who knew him ever questioned.
 ! At last, by a stroke of good luck, Antonio was engaged for a small part in a New York production. It { was in Augustin Daly's company, playing In Daly's Theater near l Thirtieth Street and Broadway.
 The young actor felt that at last i his feet were actually on the lower rung of the ladder To see his name, Antonio Latour, in a cast with such distinguished artists! We can imagine with what pride he mailed a program home to his parents. When he received a let ter from them, with a few eau 1, tiously chosen words of congratula- tion, his heart was full. Without ' QOuUI dll SlClld10 1llAA WOAAo AASNA 1 of his success. And Harriet liar riet would know Perhaps they might even show her the program; but no-that would be too much!
 Antonio was standing near the entrance to the theater one evening watching the crowd He did not go on until the second act and enjoy ed seeing the lineup at the box office-as every actor will under stand. Suddenly, in that multitude of strange faces, he saw her.
 In that first breathless instant poor Tony's heart stood still; then it pounded wildly and a mad jum- ble Of thoughts filled his brain home-the village where he and Harriet were borp-that hillside nook behind the willows in the pasture-that kiss at the end of the play-that last meeting in their theater-his flight in the night the money for the school library fund.

GRIGSBY SUSTAINS
 SLIGHT HURTS IN
 FALL AT WAGNER'S

While accompanying a party talk ing samples from the Wagner AL aska Company's property on Sal mon Creek yesterday, George B, Grigsby, one of the company's of ficials and prominent Ketchikan attorney, sustained painful but not serious injuries about the face and arms as the result of a fall.
 He slipped in raise in the mine and severely bruised his face and arms. No broken bones were incurred. na
 The sampling was done by En- gineer Frank A. Metcaf. Thirty were taken and will be shipped to Eastern interests, at their request, who are negotiating with the own CTS for purchase of the ground which is known locally as the John Wagner property.

stage was a disgrace too shameful to be endured.
 i "They never again held up their heads in Orchard Hill. Father wrote me that he had returned the money I had stolen and that for my parents sake the good people of Orchard Hill would let the mat ter drop; so that I need not fear punishment from the law. God, he promised, would punish me enough. ! T wonder, sometimes, if father and his good brethren in the church are satisfied with what God has done to me. Father advised me, too, that it would not be wise for me ever to return to the village where I was born and that no mat7 ter what my success in the dis graceful profession I had chosen might be, I could never hope to live down the wicked thing I had done"
 Of Antonio Latours wanderings during the next three or four years and of his struggles to win a place on the stage it is necessary to write only a little. Haunting the book ing offices-working at every sort of job known to the theater-occa- sionally playing small parts, mostly in failures-slowly and painfully adding experience to experience-it was only the usual training for the stage. During all this time he did not write to Harriet; he did not mention her name in his letters to his parents, nor did they ever write word about her. But Tony knows, from what he learned later of the way Harriet was treated after his disappearance, that the villagers guessed she had had something to do with his decision to be an actor and his sudden departure from Or chard Hill.
 It was during those first years on the stage that Antonio became ac-

THEFT AND THEsPIAN

Old Tony still insists he did not mean to steal that money, that he was so beside himself that night that he was not responsible. He could think of nothing but that Harriet, confessing her love for him, had refused him because she felt herself destined for the stage while he was doomed to the pull pit.
 He feared if he remained to grad uate from the Academy he would be committed past hope to the ministry as his parents had plan ned. The money in his possession gave him his opportunity to es- cape and he seized it blindly, mad

one occasion, it is said, Starr was put off a liner after she had sail ed and sent back on a tug. Eye witnesses to the incident declare the girl was intoxicated or drug ged.
 But it is to the discovery of Starr's diary that the police look for the elucidation of the mystery of her death. It contains many en- tries telling of her escapades, her hopes, her despair and her long ings, as well as a motley assort- ment of names all of which are being patiently checked up.
 There is also material for the psychologist in the intimate little volume. In it Starr wrote the sec fets nearest to her heart, without pretence or reticence, forming a parallel with the case of Vivian Gordon, slain Broadway good-time girl.
 Questioned as to the significance of diaries, Dr. A. A. Brill, eminent psycho-analyst, gave as his opinion that women who keep diaries live unsatisfied lives and are in most instances mentally morbid.
 That may lend color to the sui eide theory, but only time will tell whether Starr Faithful was mur- dered or whether she willfully re- moved herself from world which, she said in her diary, bored her to desperation.

Pecht says Post was as silent on the
coast as he is credited with being in
Oklahoma. Once. when the pilot made
record flight from Seattle to Los An

Pecht recalls that while the passengers
were elated over the trip Post didn't
seem to think much about it, and only
said 1T was nice trip"
Evidently Post had much the same
feeling about his world jaunt. He wanted
to go from New York back to New York
via Berlin, Moscow and certain other
points. He knew he must make care
full preparations. He realized he would
need gasoline, oil, maps and weather

the other necessary equipment all he
had to do was fly around. 1t was just
a job and he did it.
