In its use yon have prevented or cured bladder and kidney trouble.

SALE NEARS CLOSE The closing days of the Bernstein fall opening sale, which ends with next Saturday, are busy ones. The many bargains offered at this time are drawing large numbers and the big force of clerks is rushed. ELKS WILL MEET The regular weekly meeting and social session will be held this evening at the Elks club. — ... - o ■ - THE FOURTH ESTATE ’ News—not in its concrete form, but in all its many phases —is the keynote of ‘ The Fourth Estate,” a William i’tx photoplay starring Samuel J. Ryan, Ret h Blair and-'Clifford Bruce. The play reeks of news, and “reeks” is used intentionally in defiance of any existing law of diction. No lesser word would do. The production does nut l savor of news, nor teem with news, nor hinge on news. It reeks with news —news and the multiple agenci s employed in its collection, publication and distribution. Few newspaper photoplays have no t success because of their glaring infidelity to actual conditions. “The Fourth Estate?' however iias been purged of inconsistencies. Its scenes were made in the offices and the i i>’chanical departments of the Chicago Herald, and the atmosphere of new.:pa peril om—that mysterious ■- known realm in which thousands labor that millions may know the daily entries in the world's diary—has been faithfully recorded. No other profession or industry—call it which you will —has so many diversified types as newspaper making. No other vocation so completely humanizes fts workers, those super-ener-gized men and women whose sole purpose in life is Io emancipate from chaos the news of the day. All cf these types are |x>rtrhyed in “The Fourth Estate." It brings one face to face with conscienceless copy readers, adjectiveoozing sob sisters, murderous-hearted city editors, haughty copy boys, stoopshouldered make-up m£n, faclle-penued rewrite men, and alert reporters, I <•- sidesnhe many other types found m the news and the mechanical ends of the huge, present-day paper. In five spectacclar reels at the Crystal tonight; five and teu cents.
