Own Good The country doctor lives a life j seldom sensational. One night lately, however, Dr. Albert Patrick of Mar-celine, Mo., awoke from a deep dream of peace to play a role seldom cast outside the cinema. So, at least, said last week's news from Los An- What sent Dr. Patrick hurrying out of his house, Into his flivver and Into the night, was a telegram asking him to meet a train at the railroad station. Not many trains' stop at Mar-celine, Mo., least of all the ponderous flier that groaned to a halt this night, dropping off brakemen with lanterns and a worried conductor. Dr. Patrick left his flivver running-for the emergency, and hurried forward with his small black grip at the "I'm DrTpatrick, did you want me?" "You bet, hop on," said the conductor. Hopping, Dr. Patrick followed his leader into a Pullman filled with hushed excitement. He was led to a man violently ill in a drawing-room. As Dr. Patrick bent forward to begin an examination, the long train trembled and jolted. It was moving forward. "Stop the train," cried Dr. Patrick, alarmed. "I can't leave home." "Sure you can," said a stout gentleman. "Be calm. Just go ahead and tend to Mr. Flinn." "But my Ford's still running out there by the platform," pleaded Dr. Patrick. "That's all right.

The bald, int man wrote out a telegram to Mrs. Albert Patrick of Marceline, Mo.: "Dr. Patrick is accompanying us I.os Angeles to care for a patie: He'll be home soon." (Signed) Cecil B. DeMille. What Mrs. Patrick said to herself about this telegram, she alone know What was the matter with John ( Flinn, head of the Producers & Dii tributors Corp., Is a professional secret. But some of the sights a Dr. Patrick experienced t few days are now part of the history of Marceline, Mo. Dr. Patrick's abduction was by a whole trainload of cinema folk hur-coast convention. Mr. sry was rapid and/.happy. And to reward virtue in true cinema style, Mr. DeMille and friends took Dr. Patrick for a thorough inspection of filmland, including even a Mack Sennett bathing beauty scene. And they gave him, together with his back to Marceline, Mo., a fee whose proportions will not be ap-ched until Marceline, Mo., breaks with simultaneous epidemics of .ps, colic, babies and pink eye. Can be Strengthened Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Wonderful is the process by which the chemistry of the body changes the food we eat into blood. And the whole of our well-being depends upon this being maintained day after day, year in and year out. Sometimes the process becomes faulty, and then food begins to poison the blood instead of feeding it. This is followed by all the pangs of indigestion, such as gas on the stomach, pains around the heart, often nausea after eating, and a dislike for all kinds of food. The only way to overcome these troubles is to tone up the digestion so that you can assimilate all your food. To do this you have only to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A short course of these pills will quickly tone up the stomach and banish indigestion. Here is a bit of convincing proof given by Mrs. Chas. Ladner, Ellerslle, P.E.I., who says:--"For some years I was a sufferer from stomach trouble. Everything I ate caused distress, sour stomach and belching. I could not eat meat or potatoes, and I grew weak and nervous. No medicine seemed to help me until I was persuaded to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and these simply worked wonders. I took the The Boomerang A deadly weapon is the boomerang In the hands of Australian savages. Who made the "first boomerang knows. Some say an Eskimo boy found that a stick thrown at a birc camo back to him. But we do knov. that^he boomerang has been used for ages. There are several kinds of boomerangs. The first is called "Tootygundy Wumkum," and it is used in warfare. It goes straight to the spot for which aimed, and then falls to the ground. The second is the "Trombash." This is used in hunting wild birds and it flies farther than an arrow. The natives of Abyssinia use it in war time. The Trombash is called 'IMarudwul-len Wumkum" by the Australians. The third, the "Come Back" or "Bun-gil Wumkum," can be made to describe a circle of 35 yards without rising more than twelve feet In the air, when thrown by an expert. The boomerang ordinarily used in shows or exhibitions is shaped something like the blade of a curved sword with one side convex, is 30 or 40 inches long, two to four Inches wide, and half an inch thick. It is grasped i nthe 1-ight hand (with convex side up) by a handle that is slightly roughened. The thrower takes a few quick steps forward and throws the boomerang straight in front of him. Leaving the hand, the boomerang at once horizontal position and pills faithfully for a couple of months | go)ng Rt €reat speed ,t revoIves (Jor the Uathroom^ „ EDDYS %ayy Toilet Tissue NAVY TISSUE is soft and absorbent and, like all Eddy tissues, is manufactured under the most exacting sanitary conditions.

Couch of the United States Department of Agriculture, victims of poison ivy will find quick relief In a 5 per cent, solution Of potassium permanganate, which can be made up by any druggist. The solution can be swabbed on the poisoned places with a bit of absorbent cotton or a soft cloth.
