PURELY VEGETABLE
GREATEST OF ALL TONES

Very few persons are able to pass the Spring season with any
degree OF physical comfort, without the aid of a tonic. Our systems
change with the changing seasons, and more is required Of the blood,
from which source our bodies receive their nourishment and strength,
at this particular season than at others.
During the cold Winter months w do not exercise as freely as in
warmer weather, the skin is not as active in removing the waste and
refuse matter, and the other avenues of drainage are dull and sluggish
in their work. Thus the impurities which should pass off are left in
the system, and are absorbed into the blood.
When Spring comes and all nature takes on new life, we change
our mode OF living, and greater demands ire made on the blood For
nour1shment and strength to enable us to meet the changed conditions.
But the Winter accumulations have polluted the blood and destroyed its
nun1hve qualities to such an extent that it is not able to supply the

increased needs OF the system, and
we suffer in consequence.
Our physical machinery seems
to get "out Of gear and suffers
from debility, weakness, nervous
ness, loss Of appetite, etc. Sleep
is not refreshing, there is a con-
slant WORKOUT feeling, and we do
not feel equal to performing the
ordinary dunes of daily life.
When the system is in this dis
ordered CONDITION it must have
assistance; it must she aided with a
tonic, and it should be a medicine
which has the additional qualities
of a frst-class blood purifier, for to
restore health the blood must be
cleansed Of all impurities.
S. S. S. is the best Spring
tonic, and it is recognized as the
oldest and best blood purifier. 1t is

not contain the slightest trace Of mineral in any form, is especially
adapted for a systemic remedy, and has the additional value Of being
absolutely safe for young or old. S. S S. re-estabishes the healthy

other medicine, and those who are beginning to feel the need Of a tonic
to forhfy themselves against the unpleasant conditions which come with
Spring, should commence its use at once. Not only will it tone UP
the system, but it will remove any humor from the blood, and prevent
an outbreak Of Eczema, Acne, letter, Poison Oak, Poison Ivy or
other skin disease or eruption, which is so common at this season.
S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores.

ADJUSTMENTS. The Grand,
 Tonight,
The Merry Widow


 Henry ". Savage's famous production of "The Merry Widow" Is to appear at the Grand tonight.
 While everything connected with ''rhe Merry Widow" is more or less fascinating. the supposition is that the dance dominates all, So much so that the entire audience naturally wants to dance. The entire score however. Is enchanting and variety is It's potent eh arm. One minute 1t is bacchanale, furious and irresistible the next 1t fIoats into the clouds of revery and poetic sweetness and then fairly blaSes with modernity and rich comedy. It Is saturated with an atmosphere which Is rich and heavy like wine and the picturesque dances. tableaux and situ- ations captivate the senses and appeal to the liveliest imagination. The Ball Music" purls through the score in a kind of betwitching loit-motif, and there is a waltz which is irresistible. If you can withstand the entertainment of this waltz. you will notice that the whole audience leans forward in sym pathy. their bodies swaying uncon- sciously in sympathy with the two silent and intense dancers on the stage who are enacting a story full of thrills and irresistible romance. This record breaking piece is rare and brilliant advance into the lost art of lyrical comedy, and Mir. Savages American production in every respect is worthy of the composers inspiration.
