DR. ELLIS ADDS
MORETOCHURCH
Influence of Revival Be
ing Felt Throughout
City
Dr. T. D. Ellis preached ap un
usually strong sermon last night to
the largest week-night congregation
during the revival; and it was prob
ably one of the best services held.
Several joined the church and quite
a number asked for special prayer.
This makes some twenty-five who
have applied for membership.
The text was, “Choose ye this day
whom ye will serve,” and the mem
orable words of Joshua, “as for me
and my house—we will serve
the Lord.” It was a unique presen
tation, in the main, of the dignity
and power and influence of choice.
The preacher brought out the fact
that rpen can choose, men do choose,
and the far reaching influence of
that choice.
Outside of the evidences of good
done in the services in the church it
is becoming more apparent every day
that a quiet work is going on in the
town: here and there families are
erecting the family altar, and peo
ple who have been indifferent for
a long time are getting right with
God without any ostentation.
The popularity of the Wisdom sis
ters grows with every service. They
do not repeat except where a special
request is made. Those who heard
the sweet old song, “Palms of Vic
tory," will want to hear it again.
The Thursday and Friday after
noon services will be mainly direct
ed to the children, and parents are
urged to be present as well as the
general publie.
The afternoon meetings have been
well attended, but Dr. Ellis intimat
ed last night that unless the women
brought out their husbands more
largely he would be forced to believe
they either had none or were asham
ed of them.
The Sunday school orchestra is a
pleasing feature of the night serv
ices.
A car of alfalfa seed recently
shipped from Kansas sold for $8,500.
HAPPY AFTER 20 YEARS.
“I must write and tell you I am
getting along fine. For 20 years,
that is over half of my life, I have
spent in poor health and suffering
from severe gas in stomach and in
digestion. Mayr’s Wonderful Rem
edy has entirely restored me. I also
know of several others who have
taken it for the same trouble, and
are now well again.” It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the intesti
nal tract and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments, includ
ing appendicitis. Ona dose will con
vince or money refunded. For sale
by Howell’s Pharmacy and druggists

THE BOULEVARD, Hollywood,
Feb. 16—The Bink has been put on
many of the Movie Stars. They’ve
quit shining.
Some of them say they’re At Leis

They’re Hotfooting it from Pillar
to Post, fighting for a Place in the
Spotlight.
Some of the Supermen are now
Supernumeraries.
Extras don’t mind the Slump.
They’re used to Work.
Tourists tour right by the stu

The Boulevard looks like the An

tists are selling their Busses, but the
Pick and Shovel Artists make ’em
take off the Gilded Initials before
buying.
The Gurrels no longer buy Porter
house for Pampered Puppies. They’re
glad to> get a Hot Dog for Them
selves.
Thrifty Souls are Sitting Pretty,
but the Foolish Virgins are in Tor

If Empty Studios were used there’d
be no House Shortage.
RECIPROCITY
A reciprocal distribution of Ameri
can and European photo-plays is the
newest development in the present
re-organization of the film industry.
Eugene Zukor, assistant treasurer
of Famous Payers-Lasky Corpora
tion, is on the way to Europe to
treat with foreign movie producers.
“I shall assure European produc
ers that America is not trying to
monopolize the motion picture indus
try throughout the world,” says Zu
kor.
“I shall try to combat the prejudice
that has sprung up in some European
quarters against American films.
‘ I believe this prejudice is caused
by reports that America was un
friendly toward the distribution of

LOIS WILSON
PROM the blackboard to the silver
* screen. That’s the story of Lois
Wilson.
She was teaching school in Ala
bama when the urge to break into the
movies visited her.
She broke into them in a dash. She
became leading lady for Bryant
Washburn in several comedies. Then
foreign films in the United States.
“To obtain the best markets for
American films in the United States
we should assure Europeans that any
picture up to our standards will
have a fair field in the United
States.
“America will give a fair showing
to any foreign producer who gives
our public the sort of amusement it
wants.”

No Need To Take Chances With
It—Pepto-Mangan Makes
Rich Red Blood
When you first feel a tired, all
gone feeling and look pale, your
blood is losing in quality. Weak, im
poverished blood has no power to
fight disease. It takes red blood to
keep you well.
If you keep your blood in good
condition it will fight off disease. You
will not be such an easy prey to long
and expensive sicknesses. With thin
blood you take chances every day.
There’s no need doing that. You
can take Pepto-Mangan and build up
rich, red blood. With red blood you
are, able to win in the fight against
prevailing diseases. Try Pepto-Man
gan, It comes in tablet or liquid
form. Take either kind. The tablet
has the same medicinal value as the
liquid. But be sure you get the gen
uine Pepto-Mangan. Ask for “Gude’s”
and be sure that the name, “Gude’s
Pepto-Mangan.” is on the package.
