HOW little did we dream what
a great majority of our com
panions in this humble sphere
really nave a longing to scintillate in
:he stardom of the movies. Under
many a suit of "marked down" blue
serge there beats a heart with the
aspirations of an artist and now the
reat moment has cornel Lem Ken
nedy, a truly movie director, has ar
rived to stage a filrn under the
auspices of the. Chamber of Com
merce. The clarion call for actors
- was sounded several days ago and
already a long list have applied for
parts in "East Meets West." Many
a pretty girl will now have a chance
to emulate the beauties in the bath
ing suits who flicker on the screen,
for some of the scenes will be taken
' at the new pool at Krug's park.

One More Woman Gets
'Man's Job' Because of
Efficiency.
Believing that a woman is more
efficient, and by her sympathy is
capable of getting more out of his
players, John William Kellett, di
rector of the Paramount-Briggs
comedies, has engaged Miss Gene
Warren as his assistant director.
Miss Warren is now at work with
the Briggs company in their en
larged quarters in the Ideal Studio,
Hudson Heights, N. J.
There are only a few women di
rectors in the profession, and of
women assistant directors there are
even fewer a fact which probably is
due from the vast amount of detail
which an assistant director has to
attend to. But it is for this very
reason, Mr. Kellette says, that he
engaged Miss Warren, because he
has found from experience that
women are more adapted -to caring
for details and are more efficient
than men in studio work.
"Of all my experiences," she said
this week, "I think that this work
is the pleasantest. Everybody seems
to feel that the company is just one
big family, and all the friction and
unpleasantness which creeps into
motion picture production is avoided
in a fine spirit of co-operation and
fellowship.'
Bridal Dinner.
Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Peterson en
tertained at dinner at the Athletic
club Friday evening, in honor of
Miss Alice Coad, and their son, Lt.
Milton Peterson. The affair was
very informal and covers were laid
for 10 guests. Following the dinner
a wedding rehearsal was held at
the Coad home, where the marriage
ceremony will be performed Satur
day evening.
Wedding Cards.
Cards have been Issued for the
wedding of Miss Loretta Meany,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
Meany, and Mr. Charles G. Gould of
Newlton, La. The ceremony will
take place, Wednesday morning,
August 6, at St. Bridget's church.
The White of an Egg
When making fruit pies brush the
lower crust with unbeaten white of
egg to prevent the juice from soak
ing through.
To clean kid gloves and shoes use
three parts of white of egg and one
part ink. Mix it well and dampen
a sponge with the mixture and rub
over the article needing cleaning.
Wher preparing a mustard plas
ter use the white of an egg instead
of water and the plaster will not
blister.
Mrs. John McDonaid has gone to
Green Bay, Wis., to meet her daugh
ter, Miss Elizabeth McDonald, who
has been attending a girl's camp
there. They will take a lake trip be
fore returning home.
Mrs. Mary Van Gieson will re
turn September 1 from Christmas
Lake, Minnesota.
Mrs'. Bryant Rogers will spend
the winter at La Jolla, Cal., leaving
October 1.
Memorial Trees Are Now
Planted from Coast
to Coast.
Washington, July 28, Memorial
trees are being planted from coast
to coast. The national honor roll
of memorial tree planting is an
nounced in part by the American
Forestry association. The tabula
tion shows tree planting is being
done by churches, colleges, individu
als and organizations of various

announces more trees will be

where trees have been registered
with the association follow:
San Francisco, Cal.; Godfrey,
Sterling and Whitehall, 111.; Colla

Constipation Results When Hot
Weather Stops Exercise
WHEN the system has become accustomed to a certain daily
routine of exercise and food, health is quick to surfer if that rout
ine is interfered with. The bowels are first to notice the change.
Different water is enough to consti
pate. Change of food when traveling,
much sitting by those accustomed to long
walks will do it. It is especially true that
when elderly people change their routine
they quickly become constipated. Yet
elderly people should be particularly
careful to keep their bowels open, especi
ally during the hot months.
A better remedy for the purpose can
not be found on a druggist's shelf than
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, lt is a
combination of simple laxative, herbs
with pepsin which trains the stomach
muscles to do their work naturally so
that medicines can be dispensed with.
Only a small dose is needed, and unlike
harsh physics and cathartics, - it acts
gently and without griping.
A bottle of Syrup Pepsin can be
bought at any drug store for 50c and $1,
the latter the family size, or a free trial
bottle will be sent on receipt of your
address to Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 480
