Nigh - Violet Palmer The Blue Streak “Yes, Lax-a-Tone is doing wonders ‘in New Britain,” said Mr. Martin at the Economy New England Drug Co., “but it is not at all surprising to me, as ] have seen it gccomplish the same in many, many cities.in the United States. It has the confidence of’ the people, and why It is a simple rea- son—we don’t ask you to believe .in some great secret formula that was discovered by accident. -We ask you to believe your own homé people and ask you to believe in a formula that is scientific and one that we have pub- lished and will tell anybody at any time. It is our process that gets every bit of good that the herbs possess and it is purely herbal and you can rely on it.” 4 Mrs, Zedrosky says: “I have suffered tortures with head- aches, I had sour, acid stomach, felt tired out, run down and nervous, also suffered greatly with & severe chronic constipation, and the more pills I took the more 1 had to take. I was just sick and tired of taking medicine and when I started Lax-a-Tone I was of the opinion that it would do me no In answer to. the little article which I wrote about ‘the woman who crit- good; but my, I'm glad that I took it, as it has made a well woman of me, and I am glad to endorse it.” Now, 'if the New Britain people that re suffering from dyspepsia, indiges- on, bilious spells, headaches, rheu- matic pains, feel tired out, blue and achy, can’t get warm, have cold sweats and sleeplessness, belch - up gas from the stomach and have sour risings, will avail themselves of this chance to get a remedy that will give results, they will never regret the use of Lax-a-Tone. " N % The Lax-a-Tone man is at thegcon- omy New England Drug Co., 365 Main street, where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public. He will temain until 9 o’clock, Monday evenings, for those unable to see him ‘during the day. REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Determined “For One Hour at Least I Would Be Merry.” I think I shall look back upon the time occupied by the speech of ‘the President of the United States at the Madison Square Garden as one of the miost miserable hours in my life, \ And all because a passing band in a' political parade chose to play the “Red, White and Blue” as the Presi- dent began to talk. E The crashing strains burst inta the hall just after the orator had suc- ceeded in getting the crowd to cease yelling for him, and began listening to him. For a few moments he was unable to make his voice heard at all, and by the time the band had passed, and he had resumed his effort, my thoughts were so far away that the rest of the speech, for which I had ‘waited so patiently, might have been Greek for all 1 heard of it. For the notes of the *“Red, White and Blue” will always be associated in my mind with one 'of the tenderest memories a woman can have, the re- membrance of the first kiss from the lips of, the man who afterward be- comes hgr husband. The figure of the speaker, the vision of the wonderful dipping flags, the presence of Dr. Pettit at my side, the very walls of the immense structure in which I sat, faded away, and I was standing again with Dicky in the fra- grance of a late summer night in one of the great city parks, listening to the distant strains of the “Red, White and Blue,” played at a band concert given by the great city to her music- hungry children. We were far enough from the crowds around the stands to be securé from abserving eye: ‘Music especially patriotic music, always moves me strangely, makes me shiver. Dicky had protectingly laid his hand over mine, and the next moment had swept me into a crushing embrace, with his lips upon mine. It had been our Teal betrothal. words came later. The royal lover he had been then! The contrast between the reverential ardor of those days and the brutal discourtesy which he meted out to me this very evening, turned me fairly ill for a moment; then, angry, reck- lessly angry. It was a dangerous mood. As the president left the speaker's stand, Dr, Pettit drew out his watch and turned to me. “Jt is early vet,” he ‘said, ‘“not quite 10 o’clock; there is a whole hour and a half before that 11:30 train to Mar- vin. - I think,” looking at me quizzi- cally, “I shall have to prescribe for. you. Wil you promise to take the prescription without making a face?” 1 .wondered a little what lay behind his words, but after his kindness 1 was in no position to disagree with him. “f shan’t even wrinkle my nose,” I said gayly. /™ ao0dt he returned. “Then I prescribe one square meal at a good restaurant, to be taken as soon as we The did so that the age-worn feminine ‘“‘excuse” was not my real objection. I am not particularly prudish, but I did not exactly fancy the idea of dining a deux with Dr. Pettit. “You promised nat even to wrinkle your fiose,”” he began banteringly. Then his manner changed and he gav me a long, questionang look. “Of course, If you really wish not to dine with me,” he said gravely, “that is an- other thing.” 1 knew ‘that I had hurt him, and with the knowledge a maod of de- flance seized me. After all, it was only on Dicky's account that I had y hesitated about dining with the young physician—Dicky, who certainly had been anything but considerate of me during the last few hours. I felt reckless, careless of conse- quences. I turned to him with a little excited laugh. “Don’t be silly,” I said, and I pur- pasely made my tone as friendly as I could, “I shall be delighted to take your prescription: in fact, I think it a most charming one.” 4 He caught me by the hand and drew me to my feet boyishly, as if a sudden weight of care‘had fallen from him. “Come along then,” he said. “Have] you any choice as to restaurants; do you want one with music or without?"” “I'll let you discover that for vour- self,” I replied mischievously, “you se- lect the restaurant, and afterward I'll tell you whether or not you've guessed right.” ! “I’Il just take you, on that,” he re- plied ,and then we Walked in silence | out of the building and into a crowd outside, which was rapidly dispersing. | But in no direction could an empty taxicab be seen. When Dr. Pettit had assured himself of this fact he turned to me ruefully: 1 “I'm afraid there isn’t a taxi to be found anywhere,” he sald. “Do you want to go over and take the subway to some up-town place? Or would vou rather walk to one of the less pre- tentious places around here?” “Then Lead Me.—" “Oh, let us walk by all means,” I returned, for I still felt stified by my experience in the crowd, “Are you fond of sea food?” Dr. Pettit demanded abruptly after we had walked almast a block south from the Garden. “Love it,” I responded promptly. “Well then,” he returned, “I think you’ll like a place a few blocks down here. It's the oldest chop and oyster house in New York, rather shady neighborhood, but perfectly respect- able itself ,and they serve the best lobsters, crabs and oysters you can find in New York.' “Then lead me to it,” I said, with a reckless quoting of one of Dicky's favorite slang phrases. I felt rather than saw Dr. Pettit's - quickly re- pressed look of surprise at my words, for I have always rather prided my self upon my avoidance aof slang. But in the reckless mood that had seized me I did not much care what icized a protege and beneficlary - of hers she went to the movies occa- sionally, a letter friend /hgs sent me such a delighttul little story that 1 am giving my space to her today. “I have just been reading ‘She Went-to the Movies' " she writes, “and it reminded me of a story I heard but’ yésterday. I'll tell it to you and use fictitious names. The Kind of 8 Woman She Was. “Mrs. S. was an early settler here. She came to America from England, leaving a ‘dead beat' husband. Here she opened a little library and read- ing room. Her father had been a second hand bookseller in London and she grew up in the atmosphere of books and made the acquaintance of authors over the counter. She had also been to India where she had made a governess’ acquaintance with Lord and Lady This and That. When she came here, she found many Eng- lish. She assumed the air of a great lady, although as O'Henry would say ‘Decayed Gentility in Reduced Cir- cumstances.’ These circumstances grew more and more réduced, until as age drew on, she became a genteel pauper, supportéd by thé alms of wealthy old-timers. They Wanted Her to Have Some Real Comforts. “Now to my story. suggested by your: The Misses B. two ancient maidens, wealthy and charitable, con- sulted a friend as to whether it would do to sepd Mrs. G. a little an- onymous gift of $10. The friend needed for real comforts as winter came on. So the gift was sent. “The friend went to see Mrs. G. and at once heard of the ten dollars. She also heard how it was destined to be spent. “ ‘I shall give a reception. I want it to be very select. The rooms are not large and I shall have only the best people and I want you to help me with the list." The friend en- tered some protests against such a use of the fnoney but finally yielded as she could not betray the donors. Their Wish Was Fulfilled. “When preparing the lists she ven- tured to submit the name of the sis- ters. ‘Oh, no, I couldn’t think of asking them. They are well mean- ing persons for all I know, but this must be a really choice occasion.’ “And s0 it came to pass. Wasn't that killing?" Anyhow they should not have com- plained, for unquestionably in her snobbery their beneficiary got what ;he_v ‘wanted her to have,—real com- ort. T Coniann Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

AS “PEGGY O'MQORE”" This “week ' The wtlfir‘ “Naylor Players will appear in “Little’ Peggy O’Mooré” and many will be pleased to know that the Antel Sisters will take part in the performance. There is .something unique about “Little Peggy O'Mooye” which gives the play by. that name a certain distinction. Peggy is a little Irish girl, whose parents died when she was quite young.. She grows up and finally comes to America to see what sort of a man this great Dan Murphy, her guardian whom she has heard so muchabout, is. She falls in love with him at sight but it would be robbing one of half the pleasure if the whole story was told here. But Peggy’s love affair is only part of the play for Dan Murphy, who is mayor of a typical American city, becomes involved in a political wrangle which develops some unusually exciting scenes and which tests every ounce of metal in the man. That Dan proves himself a hero goes without saying for Peggy is not that kind of a girl who could | love a man unless he acquitted him- self in a proper way. There is enough comedy in the piece to afford a hearty laugh now and then and, in fact, nothing 18 missing that could make the show more effective than it is. If you liked “Peg of My Heart” you’ll surely love “Little Perry O’Moore.” TWO NEW STARSTO SHINE AT FOX’S Tonight at Fox's Douglas Fair- banks in the Triangle comedy drama in five parts, “The Americano”, will feature the bill. On the same program will be shown the final episode of “Pearl of the Army” with Miss Pearl White. There are other comedies 4nd features in the Monday and Tues- day show including the advance Easter showing of the Florence Rose fashions. On Wednesday and Thursday Wil- liam Fox presents to his n.\ldiences'two new stars. One is William Nigh al- ready famous as a star and director. The other is little Violet Palmer whose charming face has never before graced any screen. She is a new find, seventeen years old. Her director and all who have seen her work acclaim this pretty girl a coming photoplay celebrity, ‘“The Blue Streak” will be an unusual treat for the thousands of lovers of Fox films. It is an entirely new theme produced with typical Fox excellence. “The Blue Streak” was written by Mr. Nigh and is a virile drama of the rugged west of men who seldom refer tc their way of living: of men who draw and draw quick; of men who shoot first and explain after. «Bill” Nigh plays the part of just such a man. Contrasted to this rough and ready train robber is an unschooled, incxperienced girl, Yiolet Paimer. The tenth chapter of “The Great Secret’ with Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne will be on the ‘Wednesday and Thursday program at Fox's. OLD FOLKS NEED “CASCARETS” FOR LIVER, BOWELS Salts, Calomel, Pills act. on. Bowels Like Pepper Acts in Nostrils.
