WEAK LUNGS
As IndiCated By A Hacking
Cough.
VinoI Will Cure
Lung Affections.

when you have a cough YOU are con-
tinually fearing something worse.
Do not let yourselves get in this condi-
tion. Come and talk to us and let us tell
you why we know Ninol is the best thing
that you can take for a hacking cough
with tendency to lung trouble.
One of the greatest remedies that has
ever been prescribed by physicians for
consumption and all wasting diseases is
cod liver oil. You know how disagreeaole
it is t) take. We have actually seen
people who would rather take their
chances than,to take that medicine. Now
with Vinol this is all different To be
sure it owes its value to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated form
the valuable medicinal properties that
have made cod liver oil famous for such
diseases, but let us remind you that it
does not contain any OF or grease that
makes the old form of cod liver oil SO
objectionable and often so impossible to
weakened stomach.
Try our Vinol if you are experiencing
any bronchial or lung trouble. 1t does
not upset the stomach 1t will do that
organ good, not only by creating an ap-
petite but by enabling it to better aSsimi-
late the food that is taken intoit 1t will
increase the nourishing properties of this
same food, SO that the system will take
up all the elements it needs to make rich
red blood and firm flesh.
When this is done the doors of the
system are closed against consumption,
and any existing irritation or diseased
membrane will be cured.
Mr.. Thomas Morton, saltwater, Maine,
says: "My grandson has been troubled
with bad cough lately and learning that
VinoI was good for all pulmonary ills,
got bottle of it for he boy. All I can
say is that it proved just the medicine he
needed. He now feels much better, and
his cough has disappeared"
The reason we promise TO refund
the cost of VinoI, to all who do not
experience the benefits that we claim
1t will bring about, is because we
know by experience that it invariably
accompiisheS everything we claim
for It. 1t is very successful

Through special efforts and eX-
traordinary enterprise on the part
of the management, wherever il. may
be located, the Illinois theatre was
given the distinction last even
ing of visit from ten
cent dramatic company. and the
promise is held out that the attrac-
tion is TO linger throughout the week

from the experience afforded by the
nature of the opening nights event
at the new Illinois, the company
might be palmed of as being under
Frohman management, at that. To
be sure, there was manifest disap-
pointment i'm the audience that there
was not a bed room suite displayed

of criticism from those who are ac-
customed To this class of dramatic
treats in Rock Island was that the
lady first-nighters were obliged to
pay the same as ordinary mortals-
even if accompanied by an escort.

fitting characteristic of the taste to
which the management caters. In

O6e Illinois Theatre:
Its Present and Future

the cheap repertoire play in its place
1t has uses, and is destined to ac-
commodate its own class of people
But the week stand show in cities the
size of Rock Island. at least where
there is but one theatre availab BILE,
should be the exception rather than
the rule. The permitting of this order
of attractions to fill the majority of
the bookings in the old house de-
stroyed confidence i'm it. finally
brought about it's ruin, and proved
one of the main incentives for new
theatre whose reputation would not
be associated with ana handicapped
by the cheap company. II is for this
reason and because of the declaia-
tions and promises repeatedly made
by Mr.. Johnston that something else
would characterize n theatre built by
him that so much righteous indigna-
tion is felt At the present time. 1t
was realized all along that there
would be an occasional all-week-show
booking perhaps a few i'm an entire
season-but il was not so much as
dreamed of that the house would be
turned over to one the week immeai-
Whitman. manager of the Murray
Stock company. called at the Argus
office this morning i'm company with
Mr.. Johnston. and explained that had
he known of the situation here he
would have cheerfully cancelled his
engagement. for later date. Mr..
Johnston also stated that after this
Rock Island would be favored by the
best class of attractions on the road,
some of which he enumerated.
Under the existing state of affairs
it is difficult to discover who is in ac-
tuaI charge of the house, but as both
ChamberiIn & Kindt and Mr.. John
ston are associated with it. both
must share i'm the blame for what Is
happening there. And to the casual
observer it looks very much as if the
same disposition that forced such
dismal fizzle for the opening and held
the meritorious attraction of the
Princess Chic" for what there was
in il is still dominant.
No one can fail to be proud of the
theatre that Mr.. Johnston has erect
ed. but ii is Il great misfortune and
a great disappointment TO those who
have upheld him all along that he
should have so involved himself as to
interfere with the fulfillment of what
was reasonably expected of him in
every relation to- so commndable an
enterprise.
The people who have made the new
theatre possible might have overlook
ed the opening night fiasco had they
received what was held out to them
for New Years week. But i'm the
light of what is going ON it is very
much on the order of adding injury to
injury.

If the initial performance in roper
toire last evening served any good
purpose it was to call the attention
of the management to two things,
one the nuisance that has been trans
ferred from the old house to the new
in the matter of idlers congregating
at the doors and standing there until
the house is dismissed. thus inter
rupting the passage of people in and
out of the lobby, and the other the
abuse of the interior. Last night
some of the men and boys who occu-
pied seats in the lobby were seen. in
leaving. to climb through the boxes
and otherwise to show an absence OF
of the furnishings.
