SHE SURELY : DOES THE WORK ASKED TO MAKE RETURN TRIP So large have been, the crowds, and so well pleased are the people with her work that Mary A. Rose, the healer, has been urgently requested to again visit Rensselaer at the Hotel Makeever next Thursday, Dec. 27 Levi Bocher, Albany, suffered twenty years with chronic dysentery; child of Mrs. Harvey Hillen, Elwood, St. Vitus dance; Mr. Wm. Coffin, Gaston, sciatica rheumatism; Jacob Rector, Anderson, full of neuralgic pains all over his body; are loud in their ,praises for this noble woman. They will gladly tell you all about it, above date and place. Do not miss this opportunity and you will never have cause to regret it later on. For life is a struggle enough under the very best possible „ conditions, without being handicapped with some miserable disease, too. It is every child’s inalienable birthright to be well born and well reared. And the very best legacy you can ever leave it is, a sound mind in a sound body. Education, great wealth, social position, ot even much talent are nothing in comparison to health—the greatest of all blessings. MARY A. ROSE

Says His Recovery is Wonderful Mr. J. A. Miller, (Amish Reverend) Mexico, Ind., says that after suffering forty-nine years, with lumbago rheumatism, nervous prostration, etc., it is really wanderiful how his recovery came about. He is sixty-eight years of age. And although he was not expected to live much longer, he says he now feels twenty years younger. Mrs. Chas. Allman-, Peru, Ind.. aged sixty-one, was paralyzed from apoplectic stroke, was barely able to get around with a cane for three years. He has fully recovered, threw his cane away, w’orked in harvest field same year, and now' for. past two years does all kind’s of farm work. Now v'hat do you think of that? Is it not reasonable to suppose, that if the above reputable citizens of this state and close vicinity speak so highly of the work of Mary A. Rose, she surely can help you also? Why not go to see her while she is near, and while you yet have so grand an opportunity? She welcomes you. Consultation free, and strictly private and confidential. English and German Spoken.

EXTRA: AUTHOR PRAISES FILM VERSION OF NOVEL

Chambers Likes Screen Production of “Girl Philippa.” Robert W. Chambers, probably the most popular of American authors, ' wrote "The Girl Philippi,’’ which has now been made into an eight-reel motion picture by the Vitagraph company. “The Girl Philippa” will be seen here at the New Princess theatre Christmas abternoon and night. When an author, particularly one of such standing and power as Mr. Chambers, feels that his novel has been improved by translation into a motion ipicture drama, it seems safe to say that the picture is something really unusual. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers attended the first public showing of “The Girl Philippa” at the Rialto theatre, New York, recently. Evidently Mr. Chambers was delighted with what he saw. For he dictated the following statement: •• ‘The Girl Philippa’ is the most beautifully handled, most artistic motion picture I have ever seen. It is simply corking. In fact, the whole presentation is perfectly delightful. The various scenes are worked out with surprisingly good effect. The studio scene is beautifully done and it is the only time I have ever seen a studio in motion pictures that looked like the real thing. “The composition of the battle scenes was perfect. The bombardment ,is exceedingly clever, and the! chase through the wine-cellar contained magnificent action. "In the role of Philippa .Miss Stewart is absolutely most charming. I admired the restraint in her interpretation of the part. I have never seen a more delightful piece of acting than of Miss Stewart’s in the scene in the cabaret when she is told by Wildresse to spy on the American artist. The scene is superb. "The entire production is beautifully cast and S. Rankin Drew, the director, is entitled to the greatest credit. His acting in the role of Warner, is most excellent. A better man than Mr. Drew for the part could not have been chosen. “Mr. Randolf, as Wildresse, is amazingly true to life. He is the man Wildresse himself, just as 1 pictured him when I wrote the story. “The whole performance of ‘The Girl Philippa’ is delightful and most artistic—l might say, bully.”-—Advt.
