Dan and Bessie Kelly began an en. gagement at the Iris last night under very unfavorable circumstances. Al. though they arrived in Globe Tuesday night, their trunks did not get through consequently they were obliged to do their act without the aid of stage cos tunes and makeup. Although impossi- ble to do their regular Irish character work without wigs or make up, they went on and entertained the audience with a straight comedy act. This team has very good reputation as an Irish comedy team and will no doubt be very popular with the patrons of the Iris in their regular work, which they have done for a great many years.

And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesita- ton even to very young babes.

It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sen sitive bronchial membranes. No opi- um, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply res inous plant extract, that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the Doctor uses, "The Sa. cred Herb. Always demand Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.
