A Woman and Her Nerves Your happiness is measured bv the condition of your nerves. Nearly all minor physical ailments, nearly all mental turmoil, nearly all unhappiness can be traced directly to weak and deranged nerves. We moderns, especially modern women, have strained the nerves to t he extent of ma king them super-sensitive and too feeble to maintain normal health. The ability to calm and control tortured nerves, has become the first necessity of all women. Read "Nerve Force" a 64-page book on the care of the nerves. This book is of extreme value to "near-neurasthenics", and people with sensitive and deranged nerves. It has aided many thousands to gain control of their nerves and build up their Nerve Force. Because of the many valuable hints it contains on the control of the nerves and mind, "Nerve Force" has been bought by the thousands by large corporations for their employees; it is recommended by physicians to their patients and by ministers to flocks.

Fie-fie! The side-show men stand outside thei: tents and call, "Lay-deez, and gent-ul-mun! Right this way to the Big Show! Come one, come all, to see the one and only Fedora, queen of the Fat Girls." They call it a bally-hoo. The movies have their bally hoo, too, in a nice, refined way. Go on; let them fool you. It's all in fun. When "Than\ U" was about to be born, with more than customary cleverness it was decided to start an American Thank You League. An , exploitation man was assigned exclusively to the job of promoting the idea. Not mentioning the company, he enlisted the aid of many of our more prominent Americans — Clarence Darrow, Ellis Parker Butler, and — Oh, just no end of others. Editorials appeared in you might say every newspaper in the country, The idea was heartily endorsed by many celebrities who thought it was" probably the greatest idea they had ever heard of. (It probably was.) When the thing assumed such gigantic proportions that it was decided nqt to reveal it as a stunt for the picture, since it would be very unfair to disillusion alt those good, kind people who had so readily lent their support. But the picture profited anyway. Jack Dempsey was the unwitting instrument in a publicity idea for "The Fighting Heart". It was, you recall, one of those stories of flying fists. Just before it played in Cleveland, William Harrison and-' his manager happened along that way. Thei artful exploiter bunkoed a local sporting' man to sign his name to a telegram chal-' lenging the Champ to fight Denny Bolton,; claimed to be a marvelous fighting find. Dempsey's manager fell for it, negotiated the affair, the stunt got into the papers, and finally the ingenious box-office expert revealed the sensational news that Denny Bolton was only the name of the role assumed by George O'Brien in the Foxy film. Mr. Dempsey's comments are not recorded. Wallace Beery's "Our" {Continued from page 41) OUR view?" he grinned in friendly welcome, emphasizing with an encompassing and proprietary wave of a bright blue paintbrush. "Well, it's worth the price-paying climb," I answered, which was some tribute. And I looked around to see just whom he meant by that unconscious "OUR". Then the front door opened and I saw his OUR. Of course it was Mrs. Wallace Beery who confesses to a difficult time in remembering her new name because so recently did she change it from Areta Gilman, as which it was beginning to have screen renown. But names didn't matter. The home was the thing to the Wallace Beerys. And I say home advisedly, instead of house, for the reason that it isn't one of those houses that decorators have "done". "We have tried to consider comfort first," Mrs. Beery started to explain. "Yes, and OUR idea of comfort is to have good large rooms," added the cinema villain, entirely out of screen character, as he led the way on a personally conducted tour of his hilltop world. From the appealing comfort of the livingroom with its restful chairs, real fireplace, domed ceiling and front wall entirely window-opened to let California seep in, wide arches lead directly to the dining-room. This room has a front alcove where an up-to
