Lasting Two and a half Hours Produced by ‘Cines’ at Rome, Italy Sat., Sun. Mar./&8 Cents COMER & CO. To admirers of history and searchers for thrills nothing can be more satisfying than these vivid pictures of the infamous Nero and his court, with its horrible though spectacularly gorgeous feasts and orgies; and they can find even more sensation in the reproduction of the tyrants’ pleagtres in the Arena, the chariot races, gladiator combats and the rending of the faith- ful band of Christian martyrs by the ferocious lions, and in that crowning spectacle illustrating his infamous and. imbecillic vanity, the burning of Rome. Those who:profit by and enjoy the lessons taught in the story take pleasure in the illustrated history of the birth of Christianity in Rome, the trials and experiences of the Christians, the teachings of Peter and Paul and the visitation of the Saviour to Peter on the Appian Way as he is about to desert Rome.

Poor Blood is Responsible for much sickness and suffer- ing because its quality deter- mines our resistive power. With poor blood we are lan- guid, susceptible to colds, lack natural energy and ambition, and the gradual decline of strength makes prompt and careful treatment necessary. Drugs or alcohol cannot make blood and must be avoided. Scott's Emutsion is nature’s grandest blood-maker because of its wholesome medical nourishment, so carefully predigested that it assimi- lates without taxing digestion and quickly increases the red corpuscles of the blood, strengthens the organs and tissues and upbuilds the whole system. Absolutely nothing compares with Scorr’s Emutsion to purify and en- tich the blood to overcome or avoid anaemia. It is totally free from al- cohol or opiates and your health de- mands the purity of Scort’s. ~ Soot & Bowne. Dioomfield, N. J.
