Helen Grantiy.

Messrs Shultz and Barkman have
been presenting some good attractions
to the theatre going public this sea
son, but so far nothing has approached
that of Tuesday evening. when Miss
Helen Grantly supported by an eXcep-
tionally strong company, presented
Martha Morton's comedy Her Lord
and Master" Miss Grantly, as Indi-
ana Saltwater, was delightful, and her
Interpretation of the part excellent.
She won the hearts of her audience at
once by her charming personality and
wonderful versatility. Miss GRAVITY
possesses a beautiful face that is filled
with animation, and q charming must
cal voice and attractive figure, which
is coupled with graceful stage pres
ence. Some very amusing bits are sand
wiched between the serious and most
ENJOYABLE performance as a whole is

meet all the requirements of the play.
Mr.. Lionel Adams as Thurston, Wis
count Canning and Miss Anna Bar
clay as ''Grandma" Chazy Bunker was

INDEPENDENCE, MO.


In letter dated January /, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years. sxpe-
rience with Perunai
al wifi ever continue to speak q good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man 1 am q walking adver-
fisemenf for Peruua and have Induced
many people during the past year TO
use Peruus with the most satisfactory
results. an still cured of Cafarrh. "
John o. Atkinson,
Box 272, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic cataIrh Is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
SO indispensable to old people. Peruna
ia their safeguard. Peruna Ia the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This Is exactly
what Peruna Is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.
Address DR.. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
