was suffering from deficiencies
of Vitamins B,, B., Iron, and
Niacin. smileA as she pours her
seif another cup of coffee. Mrs.
Poling says life lately is like it
used to be years ago . . . “that is,
of course, since I’ve been taking
HADACOL.” She can’t get over
what a difference HADACOL has
made in her outlook on life.
* Mrs. Poling says: ‘Three months
ago a good friend of mine told
• me about HADACOL—she knew
how much stomach distress I have
had. Any type of food that was
lined or that had acid in it I just
"eouWn’t eat It affected my
sleep, too. In fact I couldn't have
feeen in a worse condition. When
I ate what I wanted to I felt mis
erable and when I didn't eat these
things—I didn't have a proper
diet and still felt bad. Then, when
I started taking HADACOL, I
felt better immediately. I've got
a bottle in the house now—and
will continue to keep HADACOL
1 fmm now on I have told many
folks about HADACOL—and they
all thank me for telling them
about HADACOL. They all have
gotten wonderful results from
HADACOL like I have. Now I
eat anything l want and get a
good night's sleep 1 can't praise
HADACOL enough.”
HADACOL Can Help You, Too!
... as it has helped thousands
of others whose systems lacked
Vitamins Bi. B.. Iron and Niacin.
Yes, even hundreds of doctors
w have recommended HADACOL to
their patients. The HADACOL
formula is so effective for stom
aehe distress, nervousness, in
somnia. constipation aches and
paiifs of neuritis, and a general
run-down condition caused by
such deficiencies
Make lip Your Mind
... to give HADACOL a rhance
to hrip you, as it has, helped
ro'mtless thousands of others Re
member. there arp no substitutes
for HADACOL. Always insist on
♦he genuine HADACOL. No risk
Involved. Buy a bottle of HAD*
COL. either the trial sire, $1.25,
or the large family or hospital
size, $3.50. and if HADACOL does
not help you your money will be
refunded.

INSURANCE PROGRAM
There is no doubt about it, a good pie is like a good
Insurance Program. Many a man thinks that he has '
to have a lot of dough to start one. He thinks that
the agent and the insurance companies have a lot
of crust to charge what they do. Nevertheless, the
truth of the matter is that you do not have to have
a lot of dough; the main thing is to have an expert
see that the dough is mixed properly and that you
are covered top, bottom and sides—> just liksg
good pie.

BROADWAY AND MAIN STRICT
The Other Side of the Curtain
At Last Disclosed This Secret
_-—-By BILLY ROSE
On an October morning in 1903, in a village not far froAi I,a
Rochelle in eastern France, a young priest paled as he listened to
his first confession.
“Yesterday afternoon,” he heard the penitent on the other side of
the curtain 3ay, “I met a strange girl on the dirt road that runs by the
pond. When J tried to make friends with her. she laughed at me, and
I got so mad 1 picked up a s-one and hit ner to make her stop laughing.
She fell down, and when I yelled anu she didn't move t got scarce and
buried her beside some bushes "
Father Antoine recognized the
voice as that of a 15-year-old who
was known in the
village me
story teller"—a boy
who w a s always
talking about his
daydreams as if
they had actually
happened.
Even though he ‘
didn't know wheth
er the confession
was fact or fiction,
the priest imposed
Billy Ko*e
the most set ere
penance, and in addition ordered
the boy to visit him every day alter
school for a friendly talk.
A few weeks later. Father Antoine
was almost certain the ‘'crime”
was an hallucination. For one thing,
there had been no report of a miss
ing person In the district and, for
another, the boy's descriptions of
the murder grew more and more
confused.
ONE AFTERNOON he finally ad
mitted to the priest that his story
was a fabrication. "I did meet a
girl,” he said, "and she got me so
angry that I wanted to kill her. But
I never touched her, and after
wards I got all mixed up about
what T wanted to do and what 1
really did.”
"I sue pec ted as much all
along," said lather Antoine, "but
I must admit I u at chocked at
first. You ire, you u ere the first
person uho had eier confessed
to me."
Two years later, the boy's family
moved to Paris and the priest all
but forgot the incident—until a new
i paved road was laid alongside the
old dirt one. Under a bush near the
pond was found the decomposed
body of a girl, and the coroner testi
fied it had been there about two
meat's and the skull had been
crushed by some heavy object.
Bound by h;s vows. Father An
toine could say nothing, and for
ihe next 40 years the secret re
mained with him.
THE YEARS of the German oc
cupation were difficult ones for
those who lived in the La Rochelle
district, but many of the villagers
did what they could for the resis
tance movement—and not the least
among them was the priest, now in
his late 60's. And when liberation
finally came, a great celebration
was arranged with Father Antoine
as the guest of honor.
Alter the dinner there uns a
good deal of reminiscing among
the veterans of the underground,
but n hen someone asked the
priest to tell ot his own adven
tures, he smiled and det lined.
he occupation was ei enlliil lor
all •ol ns," he explained, "hut in
my t ailing the ei cullul is almost
an everyday occurrence. As s
matter •/ fast, the first confes
sion I ever heard was that of a
mm dn et,m
Then, remembering his vows.
Father Antoine apologized for his
off-guard remark, and despite the
urging of the gut-sts would say no
more.
Later that evening a delegation
of underground workers from other
districts joined the celebration and
one of them, a colonel in the
Maquis, was asked to say a few
words.
"Meeting Father Antoine tonight
is a great pleasure,” he said to the
gathering, "and not only because
of his war record. Allhough he
doesn't remember my name or
face, 1 knew him when 1 was a bo
—as a matter ot fact, I was ihr firs
person who ever confessed to him."

"Susanna Pass"
Roy Rogers Epic
It is generally conceded that
Rov Rogers cannot make a bad
picture! Instead of being rated
"Good.” "Bad" or "Indifferent,"
his pictures are either 'Good."
“Better” or ’Excellent."
Perhaps ;t is the university of
his appeal, his faculty for pleas
ing every type of theatre-goer,
from children on up through bob
by soxcrs, and even the oldsters.
At any rate, 'Susanna Pass."
which plays Saturday at the Mar
co Theatre, is one of the best of
a senes of Republic Trucolor
westerns which rate only super
latives.
Roy is his own charming, in
genuous self—portraying the
young Game Warden who can
scept an injustice or a piece of
skulldruggery blindfolded and
with both hands tied behind his
back.
Tlie appeal of this particular
picture is heightened by the pro
sence of Rogers' wife, the former
Dale Evans, his leading lady in
some twenty-odd Republic west
erns before their marriage broke
up their screen partnership It
was considered by the experts
that the fans would never be
I'eve Rogers' engaging noncha
lance toward his leading lady if
they knew that in private life
she was his wife. A nation-wide
clamoi set up b\ the fans, how
ever, proved the contrary, and 1!
appears as if Dale is back in the
Rogers westerns for keeps.
Estelita Rodriguez, a fiery Cu
ban senorita, who has appeared
jin previous Rogers films, turns

trayed by Martin Garralaga, who
