GIRL WIFE'S LOVE

Parents Testify That Man
Has Not Worked for Months
While Wife Labors in
Packing House.
A girl, dainty, almost frail, ap
peared at the South Side police
court yesterday and asked, in a
timid voice, if she might see the
judge. A ineere child she seemed.
".My husband has hcen arrested."
she exclaimed, "and 1 must do
something for him."
Her gray eyes wore appealing,
and a wistful twist of her pretty lbs
immediately won the heart of the
court sergeant.
"His name is David Merriman;
wc live at 2012 P street with his
people. My parents had him ar
rested because he wasn't workinsr."
"We'll hear this case now," said
the .sergeant.
Husband Doesn't Work.
"When her husband appeared, the

She placed herself by his side be-

Hurry, Mother! Remove poi
sons from little stomach,
liver, bowels.
Give "California Syrup of
Figs" if cross, bilious or
feverish.
No matter what ails your child, a
gentle, thorough laxative should al
ways be the first treatment given.
' If your little one is out-of-sorts,
half-sick, isn't resting, eating and
acting naturally look, Mother! see
if tongue is coated. This is a sure
sign that the little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with waste.
When cross, irritable, fevorish,
stomach sour, breath bad or has
stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat,
full of told, give a teaspoonful of
"California Syrup of Figs," and in
a few hours all the constipated poi
son, undigested food and sour bile
gently moves out of the little bowels
without griping, and you have a
well, playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative," be
cause it never fails to cleanse the
little one's liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach and they dearly
love its pleasant taste. Full direc

fore the judge, as if to ward off any
evil that might befall him. Her par
nits, Mr. and Mrs. C. Taylor, 2"X)9
S street, were also present.
They testified that Merriman had
not worked for months, that their
daughter had been working at the
packing houses to support both her
self and her husband,, that she paid
all the money she earned to her
husband's parents fw her board,
ami that when the amount was in
sufficient she was no longer allowed
to stay with ' then).

"It's all true," sighed the child
wife, "except the part about David.
He's been trying to get work. His
people are all against nie, but I
don't count the cost to myself if I
can be near him. I love him. But
even David admits his parents don't
like nie."
"What would you do if we sen
tenced him to 90 days?" inquired
Police Judge Fitzgerald.

the girl replied.
"This is one of the few police
court cases which demonstrate real
woman's love and sacrifice," de
clared City Prosecutor Wheeler.
"This little girl has been working
to please a weak husband, who
allows his parents to dominate him
and abuse his wife. I can think of
only one remedy for Merriman to
get away from his people and get to
work."
Judge Fitzgerald released Merri
man on his promise to find employ
ment. Mrs. Taylor offered her daughter
a home until David found employ
ment, hut the daughter refused
rather than leave David.
"She was married so young," she
sighed. "I objected, of course, but
if there was room at my home they
both could live there."
Parish Festival on South
Side Proves Popular Place
Attendance at the Parish festival
given by Father Flannagan,- at his
boys' school on South Thirteenth
street, is growing larger each day.
The festival is being given to raise
money for the purchase of Jand for
a larger school for boys.
Dancing is on the program each
evening and proves a popular
amusement, A popularity contest
also draws much interest. Until

Gugmos withdrew, and left the field
open for the other two. Miss
Frances Barta and Miss Frances
Crittenbrink, the other two con
testants, are running closed Both

TEDDY, the Mack Sennett dog,
has a new pal. He is a tough
looking bull pup named Mike.
Ordinarily, dogs do not interest
Teddy much; not even to the ex
tent of having a fight. But when
Mike arrived at the studio one day
Teddy sat down on his haunches
and looked him over. Mike then
sat down upon his haunches and
looked Teddy, over. Mike grinned
and Teddy grinned. Ever since
then they have been the closest pals.
D. W. Griffith is making a picture
called "Liniehouse Nights," which,
instead of dealing with the late wai,
is a story of Chinese characters and
atmosphere and features Lillian
Gish, Richard Barthclmess and
Donald Crisp.
"The Wishing Ring Man," the
new photoplay attraction at the
Empress for the last half of this
week, is adapted from a book or
that name by Margaret Widdemar,
and features Bessie Love. It tells
the story of a motherless child who
is brought up in strict seclusion by
her foster parents, who go to the
length of keeping her in short
skirts in order to bolster their wish
that she may never grow up.
"Paid' in Full" is a drama by the
American playwright, Eugene Wai
ter. The play had a striking suc
cess and is still popular as a stocfc
production. The screen version of
the play was written by Charles
Whittaker. Pauline Frederick will
take the part of Emma Brook, the
wife whose httsband expects her to
pay for his delinquencies. "Paid in
Full" will appear at the Strand.
Making pictures for William Far
num is seeing pretty much of the
country. No sooner did his com
pany return to New York from
Florida than it started for southern
California.
i Marguerite Clark has begun work
upon a new picture, the working
title of which is "A Honeymoon for
AT THE
THEATERS
mHE RISING GENERA
I TION" comes to the Em
press theater for a three
day engagement starting today. Ten
bright and gifted "kiddies" of stage
land comprise the personnel of the
company. Mary Caroline Daniel, the
child ofator of the Golden West, and
Charles Monahan, child yodler, are
featured. Master Charles Blake, the
smallest child, is the comedian. "The
Rising Generation" has been a tre
mendous hit with every audience.
Other numbers on the new bill in
clude a blackface comedy singing
and talking number by Harrington
and Mills;'comedy sketch by Harry
and Etta Conley, and the Nippon
Duo, entertainers from the land of
the Rising Sun.
What a disillusionment it is to
talk with Hbart Bosworth off the
stage! One would hardly realize
that he was the same person -who
appears as the ruffianly sea captain
in the dramatic version of Jack
London's story,, "The Sea Wolf."
The portrayal is one of stark
realism, displaying the utter brutal
ity of Wolf Larsen. The one-act
play is the stellar attraction this
week at the'AOrpheum. There are
three other features of special
merit. One is the concert singing of
Grace Nelson; another is the song
and piano skit offered by Ethel
Davis and Freddie Rich; and a third
is a girls' quartet, "Four Butter
cups." The current attraction at Boyds'
theater, "The Birth of a Race," is a
picture worth seeing. An unusual
characteristic of this war story is
that last-minute rescues are absent;
that the hero and heroine do not
bear charmed lives, and that trag
edy is not averted. Although both
give up their lives for America, the
story is sincere enough to leave you
with the feeling of the worth of their
sacrifice, of the bigness of the
struggle and the value of victory.
Two performances will be given
during the engagement.
Greater, still greater, each day are
the crowds clamoring for seats at
the Gayety where those two funny
little chaps, Watson and Cohen, are
as they do if you would but give the Resmol
treatment a fair trial. Anoint the red rough spots
and irritated places with Resinjl Ointment, and
rub in gently the'healing medication it contains.
Keep the face and skin well cleansed with Resi
nol Soap for it contains just enough soothing med
ication to relieve the clogged irritated pores. '
For other skin disorders on the body or limbs,
the same treatment may be applied.
DIRECTIONS
Wrapped around every jar of Resinol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Srap is a booklet of explana
tions and directions. Readthecontents thoroughly
and follow instructions carefully.

directed the last three pictures in
which Miss Clark has starred, was
ill when the time came to start the
new picture and Hugh Ford directed
a number of the scenes in order that
no time might be lost.
Anna Q. Nillson is to appear in
"TheWay of the Strong."
One of the scenes in Enid Ben
nett's forthcoming picture soon to
be shown at this theater was filmed
at a railroad lunch counter well
known to transcontinental travel
ers. Enid went behind the counter
for an hour as an usher for "sink
ers." coffee, beans and "wheats."
which are so popular with the
traveling public. Although she was
somewhat "fussed." the star suc
ceeded in getting through the rush
hour without losing more than a
half dozen rolls upon the floor. Th-i
manager was so pleased with Enid's
appearance behind the counter that
he announced a standing offer of a
job for the star should she ever
quit pictures

James Lichter in a "nut" part is at

If you were hungry, ragged and
penniless withj no hope in your heart,
and suddenly were made rich and

thrust upon you, and you lived as
an impostor, could you keep it up?
Would you assume the identity of a
criminal to regenerate a pal? Such
was the predicanfent of Danny Row
land, played by Harold Lockwood in
"Pals First" which will be shown at
theBrandeis tomorrow and Satur
da afternoon and evening and Sun
day in the evening only.
When Otis Skinner appears at the
Brandeis Monday night in "The
Honor of the Family," he will wear
identically the same costume he
wore when the play was first pro
duced, and which at that time he
secured only after months of search
ing and hours of effort, from the
family of a dead Napoleonic officer.
Since he first played the role, Mr.
Skinner says that it has helped to
inspire him in the interpretation of
the role of the fire-eating-colonel,
and moreover it lends artistic ver
similitude to the dramatic picture.

An old bracelet, made in 1554 by
the famous Ben Venute of Cellini,
Italy, was stolen out of the" homo
of Carlo Copkzi, 1555 North
Eighteenth street, last night.
Though the sum of $82 was also
taken by the sneaktliief, Copizzi
told the police he valued the
Italian hand-made article more on
account of a keepsake, it having
been given to him by hi grand
father, a contemporary of the latj
Garibaldi.
The bracelet, one-half' inch
wide, bears the hand engraving
of Venuto and is set with three
precious gems. Copizzi said he
brought it to the states with him
several years ago, upon promise
that it would never be given to
any one outside of the family.

Cause of Headache?
Backache?
BT DOCTOR CORNELL
Backache is perhaps tne most
common ailment from which
women suffer. Rarely do you
find anybody free from it.
Sometimes the cause is obscure,
but Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.,
a high medical authority says
the cause is very oftei a form
of catarrh that settles in the
delicate membranes of the femi
nine organs. When these organs
are inflamed, the first symptom
may be backache, or headache,
dizziness, accompanied by bearing-down
sensations, weakness,
irregularity, painful periods, irri
tation and a general run-down
condition. Any woman in this
condition is to be pitied, but
pity does not cure. The trouble
calls for Dr. Pierce's Favorite i
Prescription, which is a separate
and distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs
put up without alcohol or opiate
of any kind, for Dr. Pierce uses
nothing injurious in his prescrip
tion. Favorite Prescription is a
