The patronage Of the local play
houses during the past week was fair
only, and the attractions were not
noteworthy. The Schiller Stock Com

The players are competent, and did
very satisfactory work, but the plays
in the repertoire were not up to the
standard of other companies which
have visited the Grand this season.

new plays, and not depend upon such
well worn emotional dramas as East

this week hits the idea very properly.

sented here by a popular priced COM

day night to a small first floor aud
fence and a packed gallery. Jeffries is
merely an overgrown boy, and he has
q part that fits him in the play, while
his work was much better than might

Backaches of Women.

Backache is an invention of the evil one to try wo-
mems souls.
It has a beginning, but no end. Day after day its
presence darkens the sunshine night after night it pre-
vents restful sleep.
Only those who have suffered in this way can under
stand the ~wearying, ceaseless misery.
Yet, backache is but a sign of serious inward trouble,
which sooner or later declares itself.
Do you never wonder what in the world is the reason
your back aches SO?
Does your physician give you a satisfactory reason?
Does he cure you?
The backaches of women are caused by diseased kid
neys or some uterine arrangement. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound cures it always, because
it is the greatest known medicine for kidney and womb
troubles.
Why do you temporize with backache when you must
know that its cause is deep seateda You are enduring a
miserable existence and piling up still greater trouble by
trying to do the impossible and live it down.
Surely, every woman who suffers with her back wants
to be well. Why not get Mrs. Pinkham's advice? You
can secure it free by writing a letter to her at Lynn, Mass.
. 1t is the surest and easiest way to get relief from the
demoraizng ache, and also get rid of the serious trouble
which causes it.
You will not be the first woman Mrs. Pinkham has
helped there are thousands and thousands of them. Over
come your hesitation. Sit right down to-day and write her
about it. While you are waiting for a reply, get a bottle
of her medicine, and be sure you do not permit the druggist
to induce you to take something else on which he wants
to make a larger profit. The medicine that cures these
troubles of women is
