MeCArdell, which is coming to the Crystal theater tonight, as the next release on the Equitable program, there is a vivid presentation of the results which follow living the artificial life of the so-called society woman. Dogs, dances, cards receptions, take precedence over the joys of. home and family. happiness is wrecked, disaster follows, but in the end the foolish woman realizes her mistake. Her awakening to a sense of what her foolishness has brought about gives an opportunity for some scenes of fervid dramatic intensity, of which the star. Marguerite Leslie, takes full advantage. The transformation from a social butterfly, vain, weak and apparently heartless, to the warm hearted, normal, loving Wife, reveals a wonderful strength of character which had been hidden under the superficialities and trivalitfes of society life, is a wonderful revealation of dramatic ability, and its presentation on the screen, forms a series of intensely interesting and absorbing pictures.

THE BEST PROOF Given by a Decatur Citizen. Doan’s Kidney Pills were used—they brought benefit. The story whs told to Decatur residents. Timo has strengthened tho evidence. Has proven the result lasting. The testimony is home testimony— The proof convincing. It can be investigated by Decatur residents. John Wagomy, retired farmer, 309 N. First St., Decatur, says: ‘‘My back ached and tho action of my kidneys was very irregular. At night, I was compelled to arise frequently on account of weak kidneys, which annoyed and distressed me. A box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from the Holthouse Drug Co., put my kidneys in good shape.” (Statement given December 8, 1908.) On November 15, 1915, Mr. Wagoner said: "Although I haven't needed Doan's Kidney Pills for a long time, 1 surely haven't forgotten the good they did.” Price, 50c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Wagoner has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt. REAL ESTATE°INVESTMENTS.

WHY WOMEN I WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. Women who are well often ask “Arc the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham | Medicine Co. are continually publishing, • genuine?” “Are they truthful?” “ Why do women write such letters? ” • In answer we say that never have we ; published a fictitious letter or name. , Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the ’ full and written consent of the woman | who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women! from all parts of tho country write such grateful letters to the J.ydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from displacements, inflammation, ulceration, Regularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any woman who i s wc 11 and who has never suffered to realize how these /// poor, suffering wo* U/ ijsg.'l \’J men fed when re- II yy I stored to health; 11 y I their keen desire to r \ 'SXLx?? / ) help other women W who are suffering us they did.
