Dyspepsia Tablet—No Water

In Tour Pocket.
What the average person needs in
tain nay and age is the balanced str.m
sweetener that he can take at any
time, at any place and set relief right
away. This effect is had with one or
two Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No
matter what you eat or drink, if the
stomach sours, gets gassy, seems to
bloat and press against the heart, if it
belches and heartburn makes you mis
vrahle. try these tablets. The moment
they reach the stomach they neutralize
the acids, they give the stomach the al
kaline effect it is craving far and thus
von soon feel good, the stomach is set
ilod and the faults of indigestion are
thus corrected. You may now eat pie,
Vhee.se. sausage, pickles, if you get a

by his marvelous portrayal in “The
Silent Call/’ Laurence Trimble has suc
ceeded again in startling- audiences.
Situations that would require the
very best artistry from human actors
are given to Strongheart in “Brawn of
the North/’ and the manner in which
Mr. Trimble has succeeded in having
him portray his role, appears a refu
tation of scientists’ contention that
dogs cannot think or reason.
In the picture he is a dog of almost
dual personality—in one flash savage
ly fighting attacking wolves, and, in
the next, gently caressing a helpless
infant lost in the open snows. Strongs
heart’s every mood is shown together
with a series of emotions which he ex
presses with his face and by gesture.
On more than one occasion, when a
fight between Strongheart and the lead
er of the pack was being photographed.
Mr. Trimble was called upon to use all
his persuasive power to convince
Strongheart all he wanted for picture
purposes was a badly beaten wolf and
not a dead one.
“Brawn of the North’* is at fthe
Grand for the last times today.
LOIS WILSON IN “BROAD DAYLIGHT”
Utilizing in many situations actual
police and underworld atmosphere.
“Broad daylight” comes to the Royal
Theater today, heralded as an authen
tic document of criminal life.
It is a Universal photoplay of the
all star t£pe, directed by Irving Cum
mings. The playere in it include Lois
Wilson, prominent leading woman. Jack
Mulhall. leading man of many more
such specials, and Ralph Lewis, re
membered for several characterizations
like the one in “The Conquering Pow
er/’ in which he was the despicable
miser, Grandet.
That story of “Broad Daylight” was
written by two men of Los Angeles
who studied crooks for many years be
fore they -took up writing for the
screen. Harvey Gates and George W.
Pyper are both men of wide newspaper
experience, used to delving into the
depths of darker social stars on news
stories or in detective work. \
Even lesser details of picture mak
ing are watched by Cummings in mak
ing an all star picture of this calibre.
He chose for his camera artist on
“Broad Daylight’’ William Fildew, the
•cinematographer associated with Tod
frowning in the making of such Uni
versal-Jewels sarring Priscilla Dean
as “Under Two Flags.”
“Broad Daylight” is promised to be
not only a fast moving plot but a story
with a definite meaning.
“SHADOWS” TOMORROW
Imagine spending two hours and a
half dressing each morning before go
ing to work in a laundry!
That is exactly what Lon Chaney,
i l. 'il ■' .1".-.■-■ '■
probably the most famous “character"
player the screen ever has known, is
doing: each day before setting- out for
his round of washing, ironing and
sprinkling clothes in the true Chinese
fashion.
But the laundry in which Chaney is
employed is no ordinary “washee-wash
ee” shop. On the contrary, it is a clev
erly contrived structure that plays an
important part in “Shadows,” the first
Tom Forman production for Preferred
Pictures, opening tomorow at the
Grand theatre.
“Itt the type of part X love," said
Chaney as he pet to work in the diffi
cult role. “Every new role presents
new problems and this one presents
more than the usual quota."
“Shadows," in spite of its Oriental
name, is an unusually gripping story of
the New England, shores. It isf being
presented with a remarkable cast of
players that includes, in addition to
Chaney, Harrison Ford, John Sainpolis,
Marguerite de la Motte, Walter Long
and Buddy Messenger.

Riding the Saw?
A young college man took his vacation working in the
Maine woods. He was put at one end of a cross-cut saw cut
ting trees into saw log lengths. Two hours of the work al
most broke his back. The huge woodsman on the other end
of the saw at length paused for a moment and said, “Young
feller, I don’t mind yer ridin’ on that end of the saw but for
the love of Mike stop lettin’ your feet drag the ground!”
In every organization a certain number of men ride the
saw, allowing the organization to carry them along with it.
This must of necessity be true in a world where a few will
always lead and many will always follow. Neither Kiwanis
nor any other good organization resents these men “riding
on the saw.”
But wTe all resent the fellow who lets' his feet drag the
ground.
The man who says there is a “gang” running his club,
but never attempts to join the “gang” and help them or
join the opposition and throw out the “gang,” is letting his
Kiwanis feet drag.
The man who says his club is just a knife and fork organ
ization and never accomplishes anything for the good of
the town and yet never gets up and tells the club about it
or suggests anything for the club to start, is letting his feet
drag.
The man who insists on talking to his neighbor when the
speaker has the floor, who interpolates supposedly witty re
marks when other men are talking, who always comes to the
lunch 15 minutes late, who never brings his wife to the
' ladies’ affair, who—
But why multiply instances? You know most of the fel
lows who are letting their feet drag in your club. But are
you sure you know them all ? Have you ever paused to con
sider whether you might be one yourself ?—Kiwanis Mag
azine.
