Heat prostrates the nerves. In the summer one needs tonic to offset the customary hot weather Nerve and Strength depression. You will feel bet ter within AS hours after beginning to take such a remedy as Dr Shops Re storative. Its prompt action in restor- ing the weakened nerves is surprising. Of course, you won't get entirely strong in few days, but each day you can actually feel the improvement. That tired, lifeless. spiritless feeling will quickly depart when using the Re storative. Dr Shoop's Restorative will sharpen failing appetite; it aids indigestion; it will strengthen the weakened Kidneys and Heart by simp- ly rebuilding the nerves that these or gans depend upon. Test it few days and be convinced. Sold by all deal CTS.

New "Black Crook"

At the Spokane theater Saturday

will present the classic extravaganza,
1.-THE Black Crook" This melodramatic
spectacle has been given an entirely
new dress, new music has been pro-
vided and modern dancing has sup
planted the almost obsolete ballots.
AS to the story but little change has
been made, and the original idea con-
ceived by Charles Barras remains the
plot of the play; although the version
used is one that was played in Boston
for the revival of "The Black Crook"
in 1876.
