MISS COGHLAN INHERITS ART
<*>♦<*> .«>♦<s> <s*& <e*>4> go
Actress Comes of Famous Stage Family
Favorite Artist to Appear
in Snappy Playlet at
the Orpheum
Rosalind Coghlan, who begins an
engagement at the Orpheum Sunday
afternoon In Edgar Allen Woolf's
playlet, •"The Obstinate Mies Granger,"
Is a member of the famous family of
actors whose name is almost a house
hold word In England as well as
America. Charles Coghlan, her uncle,
courtly, dignified and always finished
in his work, was an actor whose
tragic death in the Galveston flood
left a void felt in the theatrical world.
Rose Coghlan, her mother, has been
playing in America so long and so
successfully that she seems to belong
in this country, despite the fact that
her early triumphs were made on the
other side.
Gertrude Coghlan, after making- her
mark In the company ot her talented
father, has left the stage for matri
monial bliss, being the wife of Gu«
Pltou Jr., manager of the Blackstone
Jheater of Chicago.
So the Coghlan traditions must be
upheld by Rose and her charming
daughter, Rosalind, who partakes of
the sparkling vivacity of her mother.
It Is, however, not a reflected success
that Miss Rosalind enjoys, for this
branch of the distinguished family
has blossomed Into an actress of su
perior ability.
* * *
Miss Coghlan says she feels like
one of Napoleon's soldiers before the
pyramids of Gizeh on that memorable
day when he remarked, 'Twenty
centuries are looking down upon
you." every time she steps before the
footlights and looks out upon the
sea of faces, many of whom have
probably looked upon Charles and
Rose Coghlan, her distinguished
mother and uncle, and who now con
sider her a sort of "experiment" in
heredity. "It seems to me that they
are whispering: "No, her mother
was tall, beautiful and Impressive,
but her daughter is none of these,
and you wouldn't believe she was
Charles Co%hlan's niece, would you?' "
Then Miss Rosalind laughs merrily.
Heredity plays the least important
part in theatricals, however. It won't
write good plays, and even while lt is
undoubtedly responsible for a great
deal of talent —hard work and study
*.re just as important.

Shots, Still at Large
After fighting- his way through a
heavily armed company of police of
ficers at Baden crossing, on the San
Mateo car line last night, Joseph
Adamo disappeared in a willow grove
Evidently the.fleelng man was at
in the country, for he has not
been located today, although the de
feated officers were on the trail at
daybreak, keen to make up for the
success of Adamo last night.
Marshes In the locality were beaten,
but no Adamo was found.
The officers think Adamo escaped
to San Francisco.
Constable James Parker of Daly
City and Constable James Wallace, of
South San Francisco now have charge
of the pursuit.
Adamo stabbed and probably fatally
wounded J. Mandhos, a fellow la
borer, at San Mateo, and then es
caped. He wai overtaken by Alden
McComb, chief of police. Pursuer
and pursued exchanged six revolver
shots.
Adamo was wounded, but picked
himself up and disappeared from the
range of a dozen automobile search
lights.
Autoists had joined in the chase
and ajyled the hunt with their power
ful lamps.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasion
ally if You Eat Meat
Regularly
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid, which excites the
kidneys; they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and fall
to niter the waste and poisons from
the blood; then we get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, Irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy; take a tablespoonful In a glass
of water before breakfast, and in a
few days your kdineys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice com
bined with llthia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent llthla-water drink, which every
one should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding se
rious kidney complications.—Adver
tisement. -
