AT THE PARK

Good wholesome humor character
ICES the entire bill at the Park the
atre this week. and there is an abund-
anCe of it. Almost every number
on the program is calculated to cause
merriment among the spectators and
it does. 1t is as enjoyable a program
as has ever been presented at the
theatre and both performances yes
terday were attended by capacity
houses, everyone complimenting the
management for the splendid show.
There are five acts this week in
stead of the six that were advertised
for the reason that Louise Taylor,
comedienne, Cancelled her engage
ment because of illness, and Manager
Ritz, rather than put on an act that
was not up to the standard. decided
to run the show one act short, and
Miss Taylor's part of the program is
taken by pictures.
The program opens with q thrilling
act seldom seen out of the circus tent.
The Great RomanOffs" have a knife
throwing act that causes many to
close their eyes as a man standing
some distance from an upright board
against which stands smiling, his
daughter of tender years, hurls
knives SO close to her form and face
that the distance is measured by frac-
tiOns of an inch, and the knives must
be pulled from the board ere the girl
can step forth. And the same thrill
ing act is gone through with big bat
tie axes. There is some excellent
juggling in the act also.
One of the funniest and most en-
tertaining numbers of its kind imag-
Unable is Berry and Berry, Frank and
Pauline. Their time on the stage is
one whirlwind of fun and frolic. They
do not give enough time for the
Strengthening of the face from one
laugh to another so the audience just
laughs continuously. Frank Berry,
the male member of the team, is one
of the most natural comedians to be
seen and just to see him is mirth
provoking but when he acts. that is
the limit and the sign to laugh. They
have a good comedy musical sketch
and rendered by that pair it is simply
irresistible.
Then come the Morton Jewel troupe.
-Four young men and a dainty little
lady in her teens are the troupe and
they have a spectacular juggling act
that looks nearly impossible. They
swing their decorated clubs about
promiscuously and every minute it
looks as if there would be a disas-
ter but there is none.
Another number that gives little
time for anything but laughter is
Quinlan and Mack. Quinlan is a tray
cling dentist, Mack is a coon. The
two meet at the Office of the dentist
and there is an awful funny scene
when the dentist tries to pull tooth
for the colored man. Mack has any
thing in the black face comedian
line beaten a good sized block. He
does not oyerdo it. Just acts the part
as 1t should be.
Bush and Elliot have a very good
comedy acrobatic act and 1t pleased
their audience immensely. They do
tumbling and horizC ntai bar stunts
that are clever as well as amusing.

Charcoal PnriiieS
Any Breath
And in Its Purest Form Has Long Been
Known As the Greatest Gas
AbSorber.

Pure willow charcoal will oxidize almost
any odor and render It sweet and pure. A
painful in a foul cellar will absorb deadly
fumes, for charcoal absorbs 100 times its
volume in gas.
The ancients knew the value of charcoal
and administered II in cases OF illness, es-
pecially pertaining to the stomach. In
England today charcoal poultices are used
Cor ulcers. boils, etc, while some physi-
clans in Europe claim TO cure many skin
diseases by covering the afflicted skin with
charcoal powder.
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into the
mouth and transfer foul odors at once into
oxygen, absorb noxious gases and acids
and when swallowed mix with the digestive
Juices and stop gas making fermentation
and decay.
BY their gentle qualities they control
benencially bowel action and stop diar-
rhoeS and constipation.
Bad breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal Is used. There are no IFS or ands
about this statement. Don't take our word
for IL, but look into the matter yourself.
Ask your druggist or physician. or, better
still. look up charcoal In your encyclopedia.
The beauty OF Stuart's Charcoal, Lozenges
Is that the highest pharmaceutical expert
knowledge obtainable has been used TO
prepare a loEenge that will give to man
the beat form Of charcoal for use.
Pure willow and honey Is the result. Two
or three after meals and at bedtime
sweeten the breath. stop decay OF teeth.
aid the digestive apparatus and promote
perfect bowel action. They enrich the sup
pIy OF. oxygen TO the system and thereby
rsvi1fy the blood and nerves.
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
everywhere In vast quantities, thus they
must have merit. Every druggist carries
them; price. sc per box; or, send US your
