Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Cannot BE Cured
by local applications AS they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutiOnal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in

MARY SANDERS NEW PLAY.
Ausplcious Circumstances Attended
the First Performance


Mary Sanders made her stellar debut at
the New National Theater last nigl.,
under auspicious circumstances. She was
confronted by an audience OF critical
friends who knew her, and that was Il
fourth OF conquest, the supporting COM
pany was capable, and that was another
quarter, the play was acceptable, count
ing another quarter, and II the arithmetic
argues deficiency in any quarter, the VIII
some little star rounded the wnolt III a
satfsIactoryaId perfect manner.
Charles Bradley was the new dramatist
Introduced, ana The play was Her brother
Bob" The brother III the case is the pretty
star herself, III boys golfing suit and a
peck OF trouble, vino seeks 10 rree herself
from an ill.advised schoolgirl compact
never TO marry.
The play is well built from basic idea
which is clever and originalin ma ny phases.
His best results have not been IN par
ucular scenes, none OF which Were con-
spicuously Impressive, though all Were
smoothly written and often sclntillate
with bright turns, but in character build
ing. He has presented clergyman mas
Querading as u book maker, a conyivial
detective, n lackadaisical Londoner,
susceptible Old gentleman, boy with all
the crudities of his teens, Boston bar
rister female doctor OF letters aud sew
eral college women.
The best work OF the cast, aside from
the star, was that of Charles Di6orn
Pitt, who gives promise OF becoming
worthy successor to his patronynlc, which
is crowned with many histrlonic laurels
He is a mere boy, not yet out OF his teens,
but he played a youth OF fourteen with
more awkwarduess than inclination to the
love- making which an adoring parent
forced upon him. with firm grasp upon
the best phases. 1t was character bit
that embellishes the play, and reflects great
credit upon the actor. Joseph Wheeiock,
jr., and Charles Mackay played juvenile
lovers, with wives i'll view. Percy Brooke
and John Findlay gave generic sketches
of a parson and detective.
Mary Sanders in the title role was shifted
In and out from trousers TO SKIRTS, and was
attractive as could be in both. Dolly
Delderfield and Daisy's brother Bob are
the best things she has ever done. She
completely won her audience, and with her
excellent support carried the play to the
success it deserved. Agnes Findlay played
the female professor, and Misses Monroe
and Redman were charming Wellesley Col
lege girls

GET WELL & STAY WELL
Get Rid of What Makes You
Sick and Stay Rid of 1t.

1t is SO simple to be well that we wonder
why there are SO many sick people.
. Come to think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they Knew that, they could prevent it,
and when they were sick, in some cases,
cure themselves. But, so long as we don't
take more care of our health, We shall al
ways he more or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure IL with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come from
the poisons of undigested food. More
than half of them could be cured with
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
MORE than half, because, often when we
think We are sick we are only weak, and a
course Of nourishing food, digested with
out effort by the stomach, with the aid of
Shaker Digestive Cordially, would REIN
