LAUDING FRICK Their Savings Covered, 40,(XX), Children Proclaim Him Great and Good Pittsburgh, Dec. 27.—1t was a happy Christmas for 40,000 school children' of this district when they learned that j H. C. Frick. in the role of Santa Claus, j had announced that he would reimburse them the 1169,000 they lost when the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings closed its or . a on Wednesday. In many homes i incident had blighted the usual joy of Yuletide, but Mr. Prick's gracious act wrought a veritable transforma-j tion. Throughout the city he is being] proclaimed and was lauded in ser mons delivered from the pulpits of ail i denominations during Christmas ser-! vice to-day. Mr. Frick has announced through' advertisements in all the newspapers that he would pay in full the $169,000 which the school children deposited it; the defunct bar.k. For years the col lectors of the banl; had visited the school houses weekly, gathering their pennies, nickels and dimes saved by the pupils. The disappointment which | followed the closing of the bank, i which had a total of $10,000,000 of de- ! posits, was most acute among the chil dren, and the surprise sprung by Mr. Frick caused a wave of rejoicing in thousands of homes. He had no inter est in the colsed bank. The money will be paid to the chil dren when they return to school on, January 3. The necessity of transfer- ' ring accounts to the Union Savings Bank, of which Mr. Prick is a director, prevents earlier payment. An Amusing Story of Psychic Changes Triangle Present* Douklhh Fslrhnnk 111 H Jrkyll and Hyile Tale of Dual Pernouallty. Douglas Fairbanks gets in some good laugh? and comic effects in the dual personality play "Double Trouble," which will show at the Colonial Thea ter to-day, to-morrow and Wednesday. Fairbanks lias to be timid and back ward with all but elderly ladles in his role as Florian Amidon. a young bank er. As Mr. Hrasstield, the rich oil pro moter, corrupt politician and man about town, Fairbanks is amuslnfc in his ag gressiveness botli in business and in dealing with affairs of the heart. Fairbanks, it appears, was a good young banker until the thugs sand bagged him and he woke up with the personality of Mr. Brassfleld. Fair banks had done some startling things in the five years that he was Brass field. Then he woke up. This time he did not know "where ho was at.' He is Amidon again, and in his con tusion over the discovery that he -has no memory of the past five vears he consults a clairvoyant. Fairbanks makes a startling change in his facial expression and bearing as under the medium's influence he loses his timid and shrinking personality of Amidon and gains the aggressive, amorous, sprightly character of Brassfleld. Fair banks is no good at transacting busi ness as Amidon, so the clairvoyant who has accompanied him, together with .fudge Bludgett. an old friend, changes him back to Brassfleld But Fairbanks, as Brassfleld. while a good businessman, plavs fast and loose with his fiancee and heartlessly destroys the happiness of a humble home by jailing the head on a pretext when the man had threatened him with exposure. Fairbanks again is cast into the good but weak Amidon. The fiancee is reconciled to him on the promise of the clairvoyant that bv degrees the best qualities of the two personalities will be happily blended in fhe course of time. This is some what exemplified as Fairbanks sharp i s . e " <ls away two creatures of fhe local boss who try to dlctats to him how he should run his office as mayor.

COLD WEATHER RHEUMATISM Why should rheumatism, a disease of the blood, be worse in cold weather than in summer? The rheumatic poison In the blood is the predisposing cause of the dis ease. If you have the taint in your blood you may have rheumatism whenever the exciting cause stirs it to action. Cold weather and dampness are exciting causes of rheumatism. They excite to action something al ready in the blood, something that you must get rid of if you would be free from rheumatism. What this something is, nobody knows. Not very long ago it was thought to be uric acid. Many doctors now think it a microscopic organism or a specific bacillus, but they cannot find the bacillus. It is a known fact that In rheuma tism the blood becomes thin rapidly, that building up the blood relieves j the rheumatism and that there will be no return of the rheumatism as long as the condition of the blood Is maintained. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recommended for rheumatism be cause they keep the blood rich and red and free from rheumatic pois ons. The free book, "Building Up the Blood" tells all about the treatment. Send for a copy to-day to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N. V. Your own druggist sells Dr!
