ds by Will Marion Cook, who is also

ana in 1880 and the piece will be pre-
scented in two acts.

seph w. Standish, Paul Decker, Theo-
dore Peters, Cecil Summers, James A.

if they are DESTROYS of them, they can
get for a few shillings at any vii

see, if he will, in your looks, accents

in any city, and which he may travel
miles and dine sparely and sleep

sole purpose of making people laugh
during every minute that it runs Its
bright humor and the spice of French
wickedness that f1ayors the comedy
make it particularly attractive, while
the effective way in which it is played
by Mr. Trader and his associates COM
mends it to unlimited approval. The
Empire City quartet are likewise win

good comedy and singing act, and they
are not a whit behind the headliners
in popularity. There Is good entertain

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.
