THE PASSION PLAY
In 1264 the inhabitants of Frei
burg, (Baden), Germany, first pre
sented the Passion play. They have
given it periodically in Freiburg
since that time, as well as in nearly
every city in Europe.
Regardless of religion, sect or
creed, this dynamic story's appeal
is as wide as human nature, and with
offense to none, as it is the tradition
al Biblical story.
The production is collossal with
hundreds of people participating,
a thousand of the most beautiful
costumes, camels, and a donkey.
Scene blends into scene without
pause, as one marvels at their geni
us of stagecraft.
The company was brought to
America to dedicate the great Krug
Park Bowl at Saint Joseph, Missouri,
in August, 1928. In eight evenings
more than 100,000 people paid ad
missions. They next visited St.Louis,
where, in eight performances, more
than 80,000 people attended.
The play begins with a prologue
depicting Adam and Eve in the Gar
den and the Fall of Man. This is fol
lowed by a tableau of the Glorifica
tion of the Cross. The great drama
of the Passion of Christ closes with
the Resu1 rection, and the "singing cf
the mighty "Hallelujah Chorus"
from the "Messiah."
The completion of this American
tour will add another great triumph
to the world tour of Adolf Fass
nacht's famous Freiburg Passion
Play, which has been presented in
Belgium, Switzerland, Holland,
France, Italy, Austria, Hungary and
Spain, thus carrying out the life
purpose of Mr. Fassnacht to present
this beautiful historical Biblical
play to the world
This play will be presented in
Asheville one week commencing on
September 8th. Tickets are on sale
by the Baptist Ladies Aid Society of
Old Fort. Also transportation will
be arranged at a very reasonable
rate for those desiring to attend
this Drama. A large crowd from Old
Fort is expected to take advantage
of this opportunity. adv.

HAS THE LAXATIVE IN
- YOUR HOME A
DOCTOR'S APPROVAL?
Some things people do to help the
bowels whenever any bad breath,
feverishness, biliousness, or a lack of
appetite warn of constipation, really
weaken these organs. Only a doctor
knows what will cleanse the system
without harm. That is why the laxa
tive in your home should have the
approval of a family doctor.
The wonderful product, known to
millions as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is a family doctor's prescrip
tion for sluggish bowels. It never
varies from the original prescription
which Dr. Caldwell wrote thousands
of times in many years of practice,
and proved safe and reliable for men,
women and children. It is made from
herbs and other pure ingredients, so
it is pleasant-tasting, and can form no
habit. You can buy this popular laxa
tive from all drugstores.

homes are never without it. If there are
children in your family, there's almost
daily need of its comfort. And any night
may find you very thankful there'e a
bottle in the house. Just a few drops,
and that colic or constipation is relieved;
or diarrhea checked. A vegetable pro
duct; a baby remedy meant for young
folks. Castoria is about the only thing
you have ever heard doctors advise giv

dangerous to a tiny baby, however
harmless thay may be to grown-ups.

and remember to buy it. It may spare
you a sleepless, anxious night. It is
always ready, always safe to use; in
emergencies, or for everyday ailments.
Any hour of the day or night that Baby

New Ways to Earn Money
and the Old Way to
Have It!
Within twenty-five years, one-third of the American
working population has gained employment from in

It's an old, old story which we so frequently repeat
—save money, and if you will heed it, you will not on

utmost.
