Monday afternoon when an auto
mobile driven by W. G. Cowart

GOT THE REAL THING
“For five years I suffered with
stomach trouble and what the doc
tors called gall stone colic, and all
said nothing but an operation would
do me any good. A friend wh® had
taken your medicine advised me to
try it, and I found it to be the real
thing. I feel better than I havg in
eight years and I am praising God
for Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy.” It
is a simple harmless preparation
that removes- the catarrhal mucus
from the intestinal tract and allays
the inflamtion which causes practi
cally all stomach, liver and intesti
nal ailments, including appendicitis.

POLA NEGRI’S NEW
PICTURE “THE CHEAT ’
IS A MASTERPIECE
Incontestably a screen rnsater
piece, George Fitzmaurice’s Para
mount production, “The Cheat,”
presenting the famous star, Pola
Negri, in the finest role of her pic
ture career, will be the feature at
traction at the Rylander theater on
Thursdrty and Firday. Jack Holt
and Charles de Roche are included
in the cast with Miss Negri. j
Two great dramatic situations
are presented in the picture—that
when Pola Negri as the wife is
branded by the spurious prince to
indicate that she is his property;
and the courtroom scene where, in
order to save her husband from
prison for the shooting of the Hin
doo prince, which she herself did,
the star bares her shoulder and dis
plays the scar—the brand of the
Hindu. Immediately a riot ensues
and verdict is set aside.
The beauty of gowns is exempli
fied in a marked degree. The epi
sodes, where Miss Negri selects her
trousseau, afford opportunity for a
pageant of fashion. Her own
gowns are nothing short of ex
quisite daring, unconventional
and of the most superb materials.
Today’s attraction at the Rylan
der is Thomas Meighan’s new
Paramount picture, “Homeward
Bound,” based on a story by Peter
B. Kyne, and it is aptly termed
the “Back Home and Broke” of
the sea. Lila Lee is seen in support
of the star and both made many
new admirers on the first showing
of the picture yesterday.
RYLANDER SECURES

DO YOU WONDER?
Asks This Lady, “That I’m a Be
liever in Cardui?”— Had
Been So Weak She Had
to Go to Bed.
Osawatomie, Kans.—Mrs. E. E. Keast,
formerly of Illinois, residing here, says:
“We moved to this state eleven years
ago, and I had good health for a long
while; and then some year or so ago I
had a bad sick spell. . . .
“I got so weak 1 couldn’t go. I couldn’t
stand on my feet at all. 1 had to go to
bed. I suffered a great deal. I was so
nervous I felt I couldn’t livp. 1 tried
medicines, and everything; had the best
of attention, yet I wasn’t able to get up.
1 lay for three months, not able to uo
anything.
“My husband is a bill poster and has
circulars distributed. One day there
chanced to be a Ladies Birthday Almanac
among his circulars. I read it, and told
some of the family to get me a bottle of
Cardui. . . .
“1 quit all other medicines and took it
(Cardui) faithfully, and two weeks from
the time 1 began to take Cardui 1 was out
of bed—better than for months.
“I kept it up and continued to improve
until I was a well woman.
“Do you wonder that I am a believer
in Cardui? I certainly am. And 1 am
sure there is no better tonic made lor
women than Cardui.” NC-151
