Big elemental passions of the West,
thrilling adventure softened by the
tenderness of charming love tale,
formed the vehicle for the reappear-
ance of that sterling romantic actor
and favorite of Philadelphia playgoers
Creston Clarke, at the Pard Theater
last night.
''The Power That Governs" Is the
work of Mr.. Clarke's wife, Adelaide
Prince.
The story is Of one Andrew Michael,
a rougo-and-ready young "cowpunch-

who Tilted his pal in the goldfields,
Jim Henderson, who has kept and
reared the "kid," Michael. They live

pie Homemade Mixture.
Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the coun-
try people coming in OF this simple
homemade mixture curing Rheuma-
tism and Kidney trouble. Here is the
recipe and directions for taking: Mix
by shaking we'll in bottle one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Take
as a dose one teaspoonful after meals
and at bed time.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture, writes one authority
in leading newspaper, has peculiar
tonic effect upon the kidneys; cleans
ing the clogged-up pores Of the elimi-
tive tissues, forcing the kidneys to sift
and strain from the blood the uric acid
and other poisonous waste matter,
overcoming Rheumatism, Bladder and
Urinary troubles in short while.
| A New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingredients
sincs the first announcement in the
newspapers last October stated that
the people who ence try it "swear by
it," especially those who have Urinary
and Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
Il The druggists in this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
i. which are easily mixed at home. There
is said to be no better blood cleansing z
