H0yt's "A Texas Steer

Charles H. HOyt's masterpiece, IA
Texas Steer" will be the attraction at
the Grand, tomorrow Thursday
night.
AS the theatre-going public is aware,
IA Texas Steer" is q play aiming
higher than any of its famous authors
noteworthy farce-comedies, and at the
same time is overflowing with fun and
merrimeut. The piece deals in the
happiest way with politics, local and
national, and as it is absolutely nom
partisan, all parties are pleased and
interested. There can be no question
as to cordial reception of IA Texas
Steer" in this city. The return one
gets for attendance at a Hoyt's play is
a most pleasurable one, since laughter
and merriment is sure to rule the hour.
The play deals with Washington poll
tical life, and gives the audience a
crude but absorbing idea of the ways
of the average politician and office
seeker.

Write Names Distinctly.

In answer to a request that we be
more careful in deciphering names in
correspondence and communications
sent to Us for publication, we can only
state that if we should print many of
these communications precisely as
worded and spelled, we would certainly
have a humorous conglomeration Of
errors. Ninety-nine times out of q
hundred when names are misspelled
in newspapers the fault lies with ths
person who writes them,s and the poor
newspaper man has to guess at what
the name is. Correspondents to news
papers should learn first of all to be ex-
tremely careful in writing, that every
name is spelled correctly and written
distinctly, to write on one side Of the
paper only, and not to crowd words
into line that is already filed. In a
newspaper office the names are care
fully compared with the original before
and after setting in type, and mistakes
very seldom occur unless the original
is wrong. This item is not written to
censure anyone, as we pride ourselves
upon having a most excellent corps of
correspondents. But we are glad that
our attention was called to it, SO that
We might explain the difficulty.

Rudyard Kipling won his first fame by
short stories of life in India, stories at

has chosen India as the theme of his

zine for December appears the first in

most important novel from Kipling's
pen. From the beginning it reveals
itself as a masterpiece, worthy alike Of
its theme and of its author.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady nearly always inherit it-not necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes it's ap- pearance-or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning.
 To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma- nently all tho poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood-every vestage of it driven out. This s. s. S. does, and ie the only medicine that can reach deep seated, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns.
 Cancer begins often in small way, as the following letter from Mrs: Shirer shows :
 A small pimple came on my jaw a bout an inch below the ear on the left side of my face. It gave
