O OMETIME ago when "The Girl and
j S ths Game" was being filmed
I Helen Hnlmns ha/1 In .-haan I .mo
: Maloney. who also appears with her;
, in "A Lass of the Lumberlands," at tho '
Ideal today, finally stopping him with '
a shot from her revolver.
"That was all right so {ar as the
plan went," said Director McGowan, in
telling about the incident, "but wo
' reckoned without Helen's insistence
on realism. When she had chased Ma
loney into a corner she stuck the guu
I to his head and pulled.
I "Say! 1 was never so scared in my
life . Maloney dropped as though stone
dead. His hair on the right side was
all frizzed up and when we turned him
over on his back tho only motion'
about him was the wiggling of the little
finger on both hands.
"Helen was scared stiff, too. She Is
a crack-a-jack with the rifle, a good
1 shot with the trap gun aiul gunwise, as
I a rule, but Bhe had forgotten that the
powder in one of those short-barreled
I, guns will scalp a man if it gets him
close enough. Now you know why it
is that Maloney's elbows go up whenIever
he's in a scene with Helen and
1 she pulls a gun." In the eighth chap.
ter of "A Girl of the Lumberlands,"
which is being shown today there is a
smashing fist fight, probably tho most
- desperately fought hattle ever filmed
outside of a prize fight reproduction.

The tenth' episode of the Liberty
series, "The Human Targets." featur'

a -Princess attraction today. It is in
two parts and furnishes an abundance
of thrills and Startling scenic effects.
It begins by showing Pedro, who having
held the band of Mexicans sent out

thinks, to enable Liberty to make good
her escape, beats a hasty retreat, upon
which the Mexicans endeuvor to scale
th^', cliff in pursuit.. To Pedro's surprise,
he finds Liberty lying uncon
scious upon the trail where she lias
been thrown by her horse. Both are
without horses, and Pedro picks up
ft the girl and presses onward to a MexiB

ordering him to advance upon
Chihuahua. He orders Marshall, the

DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN 1
EFFECTIVE AS A REMEDY
FOR CONSTIPATION.
Among older people the various organs
ot the body have a tendency to
slow up and weaken, and this is usually
first manifest in a pronounced Inactivity
of the bowels.
Good health Is dependent 011 regularity
in this importnnt function; whenever
there is the slightest indication
of constipation a mild laxative should
be taken to relieve the congestion and
dispose of the accumulated waste. Cathartics
or purgatives should not bo
employed, however; these arc loo violent
in action and their effect is only
temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is an ideal remedy. It is genI
tie in its action, bringing relief in an
! easy, natural manner, without griping
I or other pain or discomfort, is pleas- 1
; ant to the taste and can be obtained 1
i In any drug store. 1
Mr. Robert LeKorgce, 918 Klrkwood 1
! Boulevard, Davenport, Iowa, says he
| has always had a bottle of Dr. Cald- 1
well's Syrup Pepsin in the house for 1
the past eighteen years, and that by I
