FOR CLEANSING AND PURIFY

Il Removes the Germs of
Disease, lnVigOrates and

Thousands of men and women who
have neglected the work of physical
Incorporation in the summer months
are now carrying burden of disease.
In the majority of cases impure and
poisoned blood and a sluggish oircula-
ton sre-the direct causes Of suffering
and misery. Are you, dear reader,
one OF the unhappy victims? If so,
the life stream must be made pure,
tine heslth-wreoking laxity of the
bloodvessels must be corrected, the
nerves and tissues must be nourisbed.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
medicine that physicians recommend
for the increase Of pure blood in the
arteries. and for arousing the purify
ing organs to cast of the impurities
that give rise to disease. Mr.. Jas. F.
Hudson, Spring Ridge, La, was a
terrible sufferer from impure blood he
tells how he banished his troubles:
From some cause my blood became
impure and resulted in boils and PIN
pies. At one time 1 suffered from
twenty seven boils. No one can inn
agine what / suffered. I tried sui
phur. ssrssparillas and other remedies,
bnt No relief came. Mr.. Sebastian, a
merchant whom l used to clerk for,
handed me one of your circulars and
insisted that should use Paine's Gel
cry Compound After using two or
three bottles the hollis were not so
numerous nor as large. After using
the NTH bottle was entirely cured,

ALL WERE PLEASED
At the Cross Roads Delights a Fairly
Large Audience.
Miss Adelaide Mann, a Paduoah Girl
Was in the Cast

"At the Cross Roads" that pretty
story of love life and tragedy, was
witnessed by a we'll pleased audience
at The Kentucky last night II is
not often that such 3 uniformly good
company is seen here, and to say that
il gave satisfaction would be putting
it too mildly. AT the Gross Roads "
had been seen here before, and that Is
one reason 1t had larger house this
time than last. The story is pathetic
but has happy ending. There is a
vein Of comedy running through 1t
which varies the scenes and dialogues,
and one of the most delightful and
natural characters is the frank, open
gambler, Dock" who at once wins
the hearts Of his audience. Esths Will
liams as "Parepa'' the woman whose
life has been ruined because she
thought she was an octoroon, but who
finally proves to be white woman,
did admirable work, and won applause
every bit of which she earned. Miss
Gertrude O'Malley, as "Annsbel, "
daughter of Psreps, proved, herself an
artist in all her work, especially her
emotional parts. 1t was not the first
time that Miss o'Mslley won the
plaudits Of Paducah audience, hav-
ing been here last season with Walker
whitesides. Miss Adelaide Mann, as
"Madge Thornton, lis Paducah girl,
but it was not generally known. Her
father was superintendent of the rail
road here number of years ago, but
subsequently went to New Orleans.
He is now one of the high officials Of
the B. and o. railroad. Miss Mann
was seen here last year with Murray
and Mack.
Mr.. James Brophy is to be comph-
mented for his fine work as dock. Z"
Mr.. Charles d. Coburn, as tom
Martin, also did well, and Miss Lou
Use Valentine delighted everybody
with her impersonation of "Youn g

an excellent dancer. Mrs. Charles q.

that leaves a lasting impression. The
