Into the production thne Utile
touches of comedy of which she is a
past m.iyter.
The settings in "Reputation"
range from typical iociim In a small
town to the gayest of the r.ay New

About Constipation.
Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ban
anas, also graham bread and whole
wheat bread promote a movement
of the bowels. When the bowels are
badly constipated, however, the sure
way is to take one or two of Cham
berlain's Tablets Immediately after
supper. Adv.
