EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.

The average man cannot afford to en-
plov physician for every slight ailment
or injury that may occur in his family.
nor can he afford to neglect them, as so
slight an injury as the scratch OF pin

limb. Hence every man must from
necessity be his own doctor for this class
of ailments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment, which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept
at hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have
been in the market for many years and

Well in the Rendition Last Even

To use the phrasology OF the theat-
rical people, the seniors of the Water
town High school held the boards at
the Turner opera house last evening,
presenting their class play, "All On
Account of the Professor" The
young people not only "he!d the
boards" but they held the rapt at
tention of their audience which fairly
packed the hall. The young folks
aquitted themselves in a very credible
manner and that their work was ap-
preciated was amply evidenced in the
generous applause which came with
frequency. 1t was no doubt the cans
of giving permanency to High school
class plays in Watertown and it is safe
to predict that hereafter it will be an
annual event to which each senior
class will look forward to with great
expectancy, as will also be the case
with friends and patrons of this local
Institution of learning. Each men,
Der of the cast carried out their re-
spective parts without hitch and in
a manner that reflects great credit
upon the senior class Of 1908. The
costumes WERE of Chinese style, in
keeping with the run of the play. In
the cast, it is difficult to particular
ize, but special mention is due Doug
las Pieritz, who took the part of Nc
Wang, Chief Mogul of the Sub Prov
ince OF Elsewhere. The class songs
were we'll rendered and the Weber

the success of the clever little enter
tainment. The cast of characters
