QUESTION ANSWERED..

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth-
ers' never thought of using anything else
for Indigestion or Bihousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard OF
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation Of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need a few doses Of
Green's August Flower, in liquid form,
to make You satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Sample

The City Sports. a w~ell-known burlesque
organization, formerly under the manage
ment of Sheridan and Flynn, but now the
sole property of Phil Sheridan, will be at
the Empire Theater the remainder of the
week, for two performances a day. The
company opened yesterday afternoon with
two burlesques in which a dozen or more
women appear in tuneful choruses, and an
clio that contains some good specialties.
Among the features I'm the opening bur-
lesque is the singing of Miss Ruth. Beech
er, a young woman who Is said to have
been sent to a convent for her education
by wealthy parents. Miss Beecner sings
"Oh, Promise Me" and other songs in a
creditable manner. The opening burlesque
is made to go by Miss Chrissie Sheridan
and Phil Mills, the latter appearing in
burlesque is entitled "a Rube's Visit to the
Theater Francis" and the performance
closes with another burlesque entitled THE
Four Married Men," in which the entire
company Is introduced. In the olio Charles
Il. Nelson and Mamie Milledge found many
old friends in the audience when they
came on with their sketch. They are we'll
known i'm vaudeville theaters. The olio
also includes Miss Alice Leslie, dancing
soubrette; Carr and Mcleod, musical art
lists; the Brothers Lowell. a%crobats; Mills
Lewis. who has some illustrated songs. In
the Imps' Ballet Miss Mile Aronildi, Miss
Chrissie Sheridan and Mr.. Lowell take part
in what is called the famous premier
dance" which is made very attractive by
electrical effects.

OF bad theatrical business just before the

bit OF realism Is the manner In which the
