ADJUSTMENTS.
The Kaizenjammer Kids"

Blondella and Fennessey's troupe of CO.
medians presented that ludcrous farce
comedy, the "KatZenjammer Kids" at
the Opera house. Saturday afternoon
and evening. to enthusiastic houses
The play is a laughter-prov farce
from start to finish and was present
cd by the company in a surprisingly
smooth manner, considering the fact
that the company is just starting on
its winter season. the initial perform
ance being that of Saturday afternoon.
That the company will have a sue
cessful season is an assured fact as
it is made up of actors we'll fitted ia
bring out the comical situations found
in the play. From the very beginning
to the close. Saturdays audiences We're
kept in a continual state of merriment
1t would be utterly impossible for an
ordinary man to sit through the Kat
zenjammer Kids" as presented by this
company, without having dozens Of
good hearty laughs.
Perhaps the greatest success as 4
laughter producer was Edward Blon-
dell, who was a star indeed as the in
discriba Bile job. and he was ably as
sisted by Libbie Arnold Blondell. whose
work was most pleasing. John Hen
ming. ST.. as "Adolph Katzenjammer"
was an ideal Dutchman, as was the
funny loose oirted Hans Won Gugen-
heimer." the role skilfully taken by
Master John Hennings. 1t is a diff
cult task to select the particular
stars of the company. as the entii''-
company is made up of accomplished
actors and actresses, but the minia-
ture cake walkers. Master Leland and
Eaby Leona. should be mentioned as
drawing their share of admiration
from the audience.
First-class entertainment was fur
nished by those who took part in The
specialties Probably few if any young
ladies can offer a better exhibition of
buck and wing dancing of Mile. Ber-
tina: her work found especial favor
with the audience. Mr.. Eckert ana
Mr.. Heck were Very successful in the
musical line and the Blondells were
encnrcd again and again. The special
ties were all up-to-date and encc"es
were in order throughout the perform
ance
As was stated above the company Is
but beginning the season. but the fact
would not be imagined from its work.

Good Doctors are Quick 10 See and Apprs-
ciate Real Eierit in New Medicines.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are dis
covery of great value to the medical
profession and the public They are
an unfailing specific in all cases of
dyspepsia and disordered digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less. and the COM
monest thing they do for it is to take
some one Of the many so-called blood
purifiers, which in many cases are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in a
clogged condition. they need only a lit
tie help and they will right themselves.
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings
of the stomach and bowels and often
do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be readily digested and assimi-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion of the di-
gestive fluids and relieve the longest
ed condition Of the glands and men,
branes. They put the whole digestive
-.
When that is done you need take no
more tablets. unless you eat what does
not agree with YOU. Then take one or
two tablets-give them needed help
and you will have no trouble.
It's a common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes about
it in a perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough to fill
a book but we don't publish many OF
them. However,
