Upon pure, rich blood, and you need not
fear nervous Prostration. Nerves are
weak when they are improperly and in

their proper food, and pure blood comes
by taking Hoods SarsaparilIa, which is
thus the greatest and best nerve tonic. 1t

Lonis James Coming.

Theatregoers of Lexington will haveran
unusually fine attraction to draw them
to the opera house on Wednesday Deem
Der 16, when Lou James will appear as
"Spartacus." Mr.. James opened the
opera house for its first production
exactly a year ago, and his engagement
is already causing inquiries. Louis james
production of "Spartacus' is extolled to
the skies by the press wherever it has been
seen. His Characterization of the title
role is said to be the crow ming achieve
ment OF his long and brilliant career, and
his scenic production is spoken of as
being absolutely unexceIIed. 1t is a
gratifying success for many reasons.
Firstly, because the iconoclastic writer's
have been shouting .'decadence of the
drama" at Us so long and so loudly that
one might be inclined to at least give
| some credence to the voices in spite of
evidence to the contrary; and secondly it
is welcome because no actor before the
public is worthier of succe s than this
splendid tragedian and fine fellow per-
sonally. There are no more popular men
engaged in the thespian art than Mr..
James, and his many friends and admirers
will be glad to hear that he has found a
great popular success. The stages sue
cesses are often the result OF accident,
some actors are born to greatness, others
have it thrust upon them by a capricious
public, others achieve by patient endeavor
and true merit. Theirs is most secure
and lasting success when once it crowns
their efforts, and to this number may be
assigned Louis James. He has had many
vicissitudes in this career, more ups and
downs than an elevator, but he has
reached the top landing now, and is
secure at last. He has neglected no means
OF insuring the permanency OF this sue
cess. He has surrounded himself with a
strong comneEy-o {! clever men and women
and given the grand old play a most
magnificent scenic exposition. Tho Chi
cago press-Mr. James opened his season
in Chicago,-says it is by far the most
elaborate and costly production ever seen
there, and Chicago gets the best that's
going, SO opinion should have weight.
Mr.. James carries the complete produc-
ton throughout his whole season, a sixty
foot car load of it in all, ten complete
stage settings OF u most extensive nature
are used during the course of the produce
ton. 1t is by far the biggest production
ever given a classic play in this country,
and one of the largest of any kind. Seats
