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 Loa An- geles. What sent Dr. Patrick hurrying out of bis house, into his flivver and into the night, was a telegram asking him to meet a train at the railroad sta- tion. Not many trains stop at Mar- cellne, Mo., least of ail the ponderous flier that groaned to a halt this night, dropping off brakemen with lanterns and a worried conductor. Dr. Patrick left hla flivver running- for the emergency, and hurried for- ward with hU small black grip at the ready. "I'm Dr. Patrick, did you want me?" "You bet, hop on," lald the con- ductor. Hopping, Dr. Patrick followed his leader Into a Pullman filled with hush- ed excitement. He was led to a man TloIenUy 111 In a drawing-room. As Dr. Patrick bent forward to begin an examination, \^ 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 genUe- man. "Be calm. Just go ahead and â- tend to Mr. Fllnn." "But my Ford's still running out there by the platform," pleaded Dr. Patrick. "That's all right. We'll pay for the gas." "And anyway I haven't a nlght-shlrt with me." A bald. Intense man answered: "If you get Mr. FUna to the point where you dare go to bed, I'll lend you my pajamas." Dr. Patrick surrendered his whole attention to the sick man. The train tore westward. The bald, intense man wrote out a telegram to Mrs. Albert Patrick of Marcellne, Mo.: "Dr. Patrick Is accompanying us to Los Angeles to care for a patient. Hell be home soon." (Signed) CecU B. DeMllle. What Mrs. Patrick said to herself about this telegram, she alone knows. What was the matter with John C. Fllnn, head of the Producers & Dis- tributors Corp., Is a professional secret. But some of the sights and sensations Dr. Patrick experienced in the next few days are now part of the history of Marcellne, Mo. For Dr. Patrick's abduction was by a whole tralnload of cinema folk hur- rying to a coast convention. Mr. rilnns recovery was rapid and happy. And to reward virtue In true cinema style, Mr. DeMllle and friends took Dr. Patrick for a thorough Inspection of filmland. Including even a Mack Sennett bathing beauty scene. And they gave &lm, together with his Ucket back to Marcellne, Mo., a fee whose proportions will not be ap- proached until Marcellne, Mo., breaks out with simultaneous epidemics of mumps, colic, babies and pink eye. A WEAK STOMACH Can be Streugtbciied Through the Use of t)r. WiUiams' PinkPills. . -rra Wonderful is the process by w«,ich the chemistry of the body ch^ilges the food we cat 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 goa I on the stomach, pains around the I heart, often nausea after eating, and I a dislike for all klni'.s ot food. I , The only way to overcome these I 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, BUerslie, P.E.I., who says: â€" "For some years I was a sufferer from stomach trouble. Every- thing I ate caused distress, sour stom- ach 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 pills faithfully for a couple of months j 'J^^„ ~^x. by which time every symptom of the trouble disappeared, and there has not since been the slightest symptom ot stomach trouble. No wonder I praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." You can get these piUa- through any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Boomeimng A deadly weapon is the boomerang in the hands of Australian savages. Who made the first boomerang no one knows. Some say an Elsklmo boy found that a sUck thrown at a bird came back to him. But we do know that the boomerang has been used for > ages. There are several kinds of boomer- angs. The fl.-st is called "Tootygundy Wumktim," and It is used in warfare. It goes straight to the spot for which I aimed, and then falls to the ground. I The second Is the "Trombosh." Tlii;; is used in hunting wild birds and It flies farther tlian an arrow. The na- tives of AbysBlnia use it in war time. The Trombash is cAlled "Marudwul- leu Wumkum" by the Au:!irallnus. The third, the "Come Back" or ' Uan- gil Wumkum," can be made to de- scribe a circle of 35 yards without ris- ing more than twelve feet in the air, when thrown by an expert. The boomerang ordinarily used In shows or exhibitions is shaped some- thing like the blade of r. curved sword with ane side cons'ex, ia 30 or 40 inches long, two to fo.ir Inches wide, and half an inch Uiick. U is pr.isped 1 nthe right hand (with convex side up) by a handle that is citghtly rough- ened. The thrower Uikes a few quick steps forward and tliro\ya the boom- erang straight in (runt of him. Leav- ing the hand, the boomerang at once turns into a horizontal position and great speed it revolves (MmiittiouiGDmnoi of ottua* SAVE THE (MDREN In Snmmer When Childhood Ail- ments Are Most Dangerous. Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets In the house may feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot weath- er. Stomach troubles, cholera in- fantum and diarrhoea carry off thou- sands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or If given oc- casionally to the well child they will prevent their coming on. The Tab- lets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolutely harmless even to the new-born babe. They are especially good In summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Siunmer Noon White illy clouds In violet skies; The Sun is at Hla highest rise.

To the onlooker it seems to hang motion- less in the air at the point of turning, but this is because the eye is not quick enough to follow its movement.

Couch of the United States Department of Ag- riculture, victims of poison ivy will find quick relief In a 6 per cent, solu- tion of potassium permanganate, which can bo made up by any drug- gist. The solution can be swabbed on the poisoned places with a bit ot absorbent cotton or a soft cloth. The permanganate leaves a brown stain, which can be removed by washing with a 1 per cent, solution of oxalic acid, a 1 per cent, solution of sodium bisulphite â€" or even with plain soap and water. it the skin has been very much broken by scratching or otherwise and is raw, the oxalic acid will cause a temporary stinging.; In this case soap and water are preferable tor re- moving stains. It the skin is very tender the solution of potassium per- manganate may be diluted with water before using. » Amateur Scientist â€" "Do you realize what wonders there are in a drop ot water?"
