The following is from the Post, Hous-
ton, Texas: The opera house was wei.
filled last night with an appreciatiye au-
dIence to witness the favorite CONNIE.
dian, John Thompson, in his original
vaudeville entertainment. Around the
World in 80 Minutes. Mr.. Thompson
is a great favorite here and is always
sure of a hearty welcome. To those who
never saw him before he is u genuine
surprise. Mr.. Thompson is a type of
oommedian who stands in a class by
himself. He is too versatile to have any
imitators. He can produce more fun to
the square inch than any commedian W.
have ever seen.
''As a musician he was an accomplished
artist; as a comic singer he is all that
could be desired. He can also paw the
ivory" to beat the band. His dancing in
the Yankee character was the funniest
thing ever seen here and the laughter
could be heard outside the theatre"

 A newspaper whose columns overflow with advertisements of business men has more influence in attracting attention and build- ing up a town than any agency that can be employed.

LETTER TO MIR. J. w.
 GRUBBS, NEWPORT, ARK

Dear Sir: You are interested in the prosperity of your town. You can contribute to it materl- ally, and give it far more pros porous look at the same time.
 Perhaps the public property needs a good coat of paint.
 Devoe will supply that coat with two thirds of the number of gallons required of any other. Devoe is all paint and full meas ure. Devoe is the strongest paint known. Devoe will take care of the property, in the long run, for half the money required by any other.
 The reason is stated above; Devoe is all paint and full meas ure; the strongest paint known.
 E. D. Jewel, Corry, Pa., paint ed his house 5 years ago with a mixed paint; took IA gallons. Last spring he repainted with Devoe; bought IA gallons and had 4 left. Saved S15 to $20, for painting costs two or three times as much as the paint.
 Yours truly,

She was so ab- sorbed in her work that she neglected to give her health proper care-failed to take warning that the symptoms of approaching kidney trouble gave her, the sallow complexion and torpid liver. But Wine of Cardui cured her the game as it has cured thousands of others and Mrs. McDonald has written this letter in order that other suffering women may secure from Wine of Cardui the same relief she got from it.
 "For four years l suffered with torpid liver until my skin looked yellow and dull: ] then found my kidneys were affected and had severe pains across my back. and felt

 No suffering woman can afford to ignore such 8 letter as Mrs. Mcdonald writes. Her plans and advice have proved valuable in building up one of the greatest women's organizations in the United States and she takes time to give advice which she knows will help you. :.
 Do not delay in securing this medi- cine. There is nothing to gain and everything to lose by delay. The choice is before you. Will or will you not secure relief now by taking Wine of Cardui? All druggists sell e1 % bottles of Wine of Cardui as well as 25c pack ages of Thedford's Black Draught.
