"UNcLE. TOMS CABIN"

The New Haven theater will have on January 2S, 29 and 30 Al. w. Martins mammoth production of the immortal American drama, "Uncle Toms Cab in" pthe most correct and expensive scenic production of the late Harriet Beecher Stoves everlasting egacy to posterity ever seen in America. The ony version that has been accepted by the pupit as moral instructor. No such amount of money as MT. Martin has spent on this play this season has ever been expended before on this drama. He has also engaged actors for their special fitness to their various parts, rather than for their ability to play some instrument in the band, which has been the rule with man agers of like attractions. The compa- ny numbers fifty white people, includ- ing a chorus of twenty to impersonate the negroes, and add to the pictures, and sing and dance in the levee and other scenes.

SKIN TORTURES AFFL|CT CHILDREN
Obstinate Case of Eczema Covered Little Girls Limbs with Running Sores Poison Oak Made Boys Hands and Arms a Mass of Tor turing Sores Sufferers Soon Re- Iieved and Completely Cured Grateful Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
 HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"Last year, after having my little girl treated by very prominent physi- clan for an obstinate case Of eczema, resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physicians prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with. the Cuti- cura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
 In July of this year little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only tho Cuticura Remedies, washing hiss hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and amounting them with the Cuticura Oint- ment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmount, Walden's Ridge, Tenn, Oct. l3, l905."

 This is a mistake and. of course. is unfair to Postum. Nave it just right and it has much the same flavor as the mild and high priced Java Coffee. but never causes the trouble that coffee does.
 An III. man found out how to make Postum so it tasted as good to him as his old time coffee. He writes:
 'For years I could not breakfast without my cup of coffee
 "During this time I was troubled win nalpitation of the heart with smothering and nervous spells. The doctor told me to quit coffee but did not.
 "Finally, one time while visiting, I was given .Postum for breakfast I can't say I enjoyed it at first-they on- lv guessed how to cook it. But when we followed the directions on the pack are. we all agreed that 'Postum was fine
 ''Then I began to enjoy my meals. Could take plenty of substantial food besides the Postum and felt good af- rewards. My headaches were gone and gradually forgot I ever had heart trouble.

 "A lady tried to give Postum to a lot of hired men but they would not take it. I tasted it as she made it and didn't wonder-it didn't taste like ours. Asked about it she said she never had paid much attention to di- rections on package.
 ''The next time I saw her she had learned how to make Postum right and said the men, folks asked for their sec ond cup. Follow directions and you'll have good Postum." Have it right! Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek Mich. Read the directions on the package There's a reason"

Aviiou Thcater.

Those who have witnessed the early week performances of "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson" played by the Stock company at the Bijou, have been un- animous in their approval of it, Though not a new play, it's popularity is ap- parently as genuine to-day as it ever was, and an exceptionally good weeks business is promised.
 The play is the one in which Miss Amelia Bingham appeared for some time, and has been a big success wher- ever produced, The stock company is doing excellent work in the piece, sup porting Gertrude Shipman in the title role. Miss Shipman. by the way, Is doing some of her best work, and the part seems to be especially we'll suited to he..
 The display of gowns by Miss Ship man. and the other ladies of the com pany is unusually brilliant, and is cre- ating much discussion, On Friday and Saturday there will be the usual sou venir performances.
