It Is doubtful is Tim Murphy win ever
find q play that viii give such complete
satisfaction as has THE Carpetbagg y,
the new comedy in which he will appear
at the Opera House for Saturday matinee
and night, on November IS An unbroken
chain of success has been the record of
this play. Both press and public everv-
where are of one accord in ringing with
praise of the comedy and of Tim Murphy
IN the leading part. The play is de-
seribed as a political romantic comedy.
Political is only so far is it touches uuon
a phase of Southern politics which pre-
vailed in that section of the country inn
mediately after the war. The story is a
faithful representation of the lives of the
people OF that time. genuine in the draw
ing OF its characters, wholesome in tone
picturesque in detail and consistent in
following the circumstances that directed
the course of political and social events.

To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great Modern
Discovery, Swamp-Root. Every 'Ca g" Reader
May Have Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.

The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not question
of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisOns confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your
present sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way Of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bOwel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they forget the kidneys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot, the great
Kidney Remedy.
