Feed Onions to the Children.

A prominent physician was seen buying a
barrel of onions, and, being guyed about his
purchase, said: 81 always have boiled onions
for dinner for the benefit of my children. /
Like onions, too. They are the best medicine
know of for preventing colds. Feed onions,
raw, boiled or baked. to the children three or
four times week, and they'll grow up
healthy and strong No worms, no scarla-
tina, no diphtheria where children eat plen-
tifully of onions every day. Another dis
tinguished physician confirmed the foregoing
statement. adding: II couldn't give better
advice, no matter how hard might try. ~

Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that, too. by a lady in

clutches upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severests tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought Of US bottle of DR.. Kings

that she slept all night. and with one

Theatrical.

Tomorrow evening Mr.. Newton Beers
great spectacular drama. Lost in Lon
don," is to be presented at Harper's
theatre. The New York Sun says Of the
remarkable production:
Lostin London as presented by New
ton Beers excellent company at the Grand
opera house last evening. fully merits the
success it has met with throughout the
country. The scenery, which has been
specially prepared by the celebrated
s-.'st. Seavey. is exceedingly fine and
mas received much praise. especially the
famous snow scene. which is one OF the
finest stage effects ever produced. The
piece concludes with grand transforms
tion scene, which always holds the au-
dience spellbound. The management
has not subordinated the actors to their
surroundings, as is sometimes done BY
thrifty stage spectators, but has gathered
q very capable company OF comedians
and vocalists In the Sd act-there are
in all, but without tedious waits-a
capital olio Is introduced. including sing
ing and dancing by members OF the COM
pany. The singing by the male quartette
ct this point is particularly fine. and Ben.
iamin Blinker cumes out strong in comic
role.
PAT MULDOoN.
On Saturday evening We are to have
something first class in the way OF come
DIV, In the appearance of Pat Muldoon's
Comedy company. Says the Titusville
Herald,
The attraction at the opera house last
evening was the Pat Muldoon Comedy
company. and comedy it is. from the rise
to the fall OF the curtain. II is from first
10 last splendid performance. The fun
is clean and healthy. Any one Of the
specially acts is worth the price of adj.
mission. and Chss. Rench. with his
trained giraffe, is worth dollar.
COLOSSAL GAIETY COMPANY.
Lilly Clay's Colossal Gaiety company is
to appear at Turner Grand opera house,
Davenport, Saturday evening. The st.
Louis Globe Democrat of Oct. IS, en-
dorses the attraction:
Never before was such a rush seen as
was witnessed at the Standard theatre
last evening. After every seat was sold,
people scrambled for standing. 1t was
by far the largest house of the season,
and was due to the advent of some three
dozen pretty young ladies in the new
spectacular burlesque of Robinson Cru
soe." Aside from the pretty music and
the pretty girls. the novelty of an en-
tire stage production. in which so few
members of the male sex appear, was AZ
innovation so radical yet so pleasing that
the large audience was more than de-
lighted, and when the curtain fell, peo>
pie wanted more. 1t was splendid sue.
