SWEDEN VICTIM OF BUSINESS DEPRESSION Stockholm, June .1 —Swedish bank returns for the first quarter of 1921 ■ show severe trade depression.

The Difference of 150 Years You’ve heard the story of Paul Revere—how he clattered out of Boston and spread the alarm to every Middlesex village, etc. That was in April, 1775. It was an all night job. Today the Boston papers would slap extras on their presses and in the shake of a little lamb’s tail the whole thrilling message would be in each home of the well known county. This represents the advance of 150 years in the important business of spreading news. The cry of “Extra —Extra” on the midnight air brings startled folks to their doors as once did the pound of a horse’s hoofs and the breathless shout of the rider. Papers have supplanted the courier—multiplied his effectiveness many times—increased his speed a hundred fold. How far back we would go without newspapers! We would remain in ignorance not only of events at home and abroad —but also of much that concerns us just as vitally—news of the very things that have to do with the personal, every-day life of each one of us. Somebody might be selling a new, better and more economical food; or a utensjl that would add immeasurably to our comfort and well-being; or sdhie better material for making shoes or clothing.—but we would never know it. Modern advertising is a boon. It keeps our information up-to-date on the many things we need in order to live a profitable, happy and useful life in this age of progress. Do you take full advantage of the advertising? Read It!—lt Pays! ■ y •’ if.’. ft F * ■ - - .

EARTHBOUND SHOWS FOR LAST TIME TONIGHT “No God. No sin. No future life. Notiiing but the survival of the fittest and every man for himself.’’ That was the ruthless creed by which tw-o men lived. They thought it had brought them success and riches until one of them was forced to sacrifice his wife upon the altar of that creed. Then he killed Dick Desbormrgh, the man he had loked upon as his best friend, but Dick, even after death, was not free to progress. His spirit was forc'd to.remiin earthbound* until he was willing to be guided by the higher creed that ‘love L the great progressive force both in this world and what we call the next.’’ That is the theme about which Basil King built the powerful story. “Earthbound.” which critics have recognized as the greatest and most impressive : , production ever attempted, in showing ■ Earthbound'’ at the Mecca theatre, 'he last time tonight, we feel that we are offering the supreme achievement of motion picture art.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen suffered for ■ ears with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless ind unable to work. He finally decided, after years of •easeless'study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac•umulated impurities, commonly callel uric acid deposits, w-ere dissolved n tire joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted ohysiclans, made experiments and finil’y compounded a prescription that luiekly and completely banished every dgn and symptom of rheumatism ’rom his system. He freely gave his discovery to >thers who took it. with what might i'e called marvelous success. After rears of urging he decided to let suferers everywhere know about his dis.■overy through the newspapers.
