Keith's Boston Theatre .

What will be looked upon by most
of the patrons of Keith's Theatre as
the biggest event of most eventful
season is due to occur next week. 1t
is nothing less than the commence
ment of a brief engagement by the
greatest drawing card Boston vaude-
vile has ever known-IIarry Houdini.
Since his last appearances in Boston
over year ago Houdini has appear
ed in nearly all of the great cities in
this country, his tour having carried
him as far West as San Francisco,
and he has yet to meet with defeat
in any Of his sensational undertak-
ings. He has invented several new
stunts, the most startling of which
consists of being confined in a NAM
moth can filled with water, necessi-
tating his being submerged before
the cover can be locked on. 1t is the
most marvellous feat he has ever per
formed. He will be open to accept a
number of challenge tests during his
stay, which will be for two weeks

ONLY ONE WAY TO
RETAIN HEALTH
Young Man with New Theory Says All De-
ponds on Stomach.

l.. T. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
become chronically deranged by mod
ern conditions, and that sickness gen
orally is the result.
In a recent interview, while intro
ducing his medicine in leading city,
Mr.. Cooper said: There K Just one
way, In my opinion. to maintain gen
eral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast ma
jority of Americans today have weak,
fabby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations OF
overlooking and lack of exercise, until
today the entire civilized race Is az
fected. This Is the true cause o. most
Of the Ill health Of today. Little can
be done to relieve 1t until the stomach
is once more brought back TO normal
conditions.
