FLOATERS PASSING THROUGH There has been quite a number of strangers here in the last few days who are apparently beating their way from one part of the country to ithe other. It seems strange with the demand for farm hands throughout the west that these men are idle when .'they could be drawing good money in the harvest fields in this state as well as in Kansas where the harvest is just being completed. The demand among the farmers in this section .for help is such that not near all the needs can be supplied and good wages are being paid for all kinds of farm work.

Chillicothe, Ohio "Nothing pleases me more than to speak a word of praise for Cardui. the woman's 4onic," says Mrs. Ed Davis, of this town, "for I firmly believe that it snatched me from the grave. I have been married 14 years, and had two children. After the youngest was born, I was not able to walk, and for four years, I was not strong enough to stand on my feet five minutes at the time, without something to support me. Nothing seemed to do me any good, until, finally, I commenced using Cardui, the woman's tonic. I only used about four bottles, but, today I am well, can do my work, and walk as far as I want to. I can never praise Cardui enough, and my neighbors cannot get done wondering at the change In me." You, too, can depend on Cardui, be cause Cardui is a gentle, harmless, vegetable tonic, that can do you noth ing but good. Prepared from vegetable herbs, Car dui has a specific effect on the woman ly constitution, and puts strength where it is needed. Try Card-u-I.

DON'T MARRY UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN Tine Escape Paul Armstrong' Great Play Put in 7 Stirring Reels THE WHOLE MARVELOUS PICTURE THRILLS WITH ONE VITAL QUESTION TO PARENTS: "Who is the man your daughter is going to marry? Do you judge him by his money, his earning capacity, or his character and fitness to be your daughter's husband?" Every man and women in America every youth and girl over fifteen years should see "THE ESCAPE" and KNOW what life is for thousands, perhaps millions of people in the larger cities. "THE ESCAPE" is a picture of life as it really is. Wednesday and Thursday, July 19th and 20th mm "THE ESCAPE" ONE OF THE BEST PHOTO PLAYS One of the big picture plays of the year has been "The Escape" adapted from the great play of Paul Arm strong, which has been arranged in seven stirring reels bT D. W. Griffith, the producer of the "Birth of a Na tion." This is a soul problem and will be shown here at the .Air Dome for two nights, Wednesday and Thursday, July 19th and 20th. The story in brief is rfs follows , The play is preceeded by a pro logue, "The Origin of Life." May Joyce, a child of the slums, longed for a better life. She con tinually besought her father, a steve dore, to try to better the condition of his children. With the exception of May these children were in a bad way. Jenny was a pitiful example of the visitation of the sins of the father upon the children. Larry was fast becoming a crook. He was hit by a stove lid thrown by his father in a drunken furv. The wound h?aled, but the boy's natural tendency was inten sified. "Bull" McGee, a power of evi in the neighborhood, wanted to marry May. To gain her favor he had Larr set upon and, and after a fight, ar rented, McGee obtaining his release from the police. There appears Dr Yon Eider, an ambulance surgeon called to patch up Larry. Dr. Yon Eiden was inrpiessed 'with the char aoter of Ma v. "At all costs" he told her, "escape from these surrounding.' Partially as' a result of the faked sav ing of Larry and because theie seem ed no escape, May passively agreed to the marriage with McGee. On the morning of the wedding, however, a flyleaf message from Dr. Yon Eiden proved the deciding factor and she left by the fire escape. Janny's admiration for brute power caused her willingly to take May's place. May found work in an office from which she was later discharged In the meantime, she had met the Sen ator, who, in admiration of her beauty gave her his card reading. "If you ever need a friend come to me." Jenny's marriage resulted in a baby boy which always cried, to the con stant anger of McGee. McGee falling over the cradle in a drunken stupor the child cried no more. May, unable to obtain work, finally went to the Sen ator and found the "easy way". A fancied illness ied her to meeting Dr. Yon Eiden again. "You need now more than ever to escape," he told her. The Senator condescended to offer May marriage, but she, influenced by the words of Dr. Von Eiden, again escaped and found the work she need ed in a hospital. McGee sold his wife to the promo ters of a foreign concert dive. She threw a note from the window and it came into the hands of Larry. The police raided the place and rescued Jenny, who was brought to May only to die. McGee escaped. He traced his wife with the hope of getting money and found her dead. Leaving there, he was tracked by the authorities and finally cornered and shot by Larry, who had joined the chase. His mur derous tendencies now fully aroused, Larry determined to kill his father. He was, however, intercepted by Dr. Von Eiden, who took him to his apart ment. An operation was performed on Larry and the splinter of bone, which had so long penetrated his brain, was removed. Through the man. shrdiu etaoin mahtm btma operation Larry became a normal man. May's love for Dr. Von Eiden at last awakened and the surviving members of the Joyce family became happily united. May's escape to a better life was complete. WHAT IS MOKE IMPORTANT It is more important to empty the bowels, than to fill the stomach, not only in any indi?position but also in a health state.
