sEAvER's DYSPEPSIA TABLETS

Have you dyspepsia? If you
have perhaps you want to get rid of
it. You can by taking SEAVER'S
DYSPEPSIA TABLETS. We do not
print any pictures of before and after
taking. You can get them by standing
before the looking glass. If you don't
believe this, try the tablets and you
will. We have proved that SEA
VER,S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS will
cure dyspepsia over and over again.
We are ready to demonstrate it in
your case, and we will tell you how.
Go to the store of J. M. Ayres and get
a package. Take it according to dir
ections. If it cures you, step in and
tell the druggist so. If it doesn't,
step in just the same and tell him
that and he will hand you right back
the ducats you paid him. Do you
suppose this offer would be made if
we had any doubts about what the
tablets will do for you? Do you see
any way that you can lose any money
out of it? But If you really enjoy
dyspepsia, and want to retain 1t per-
manently, let SEAVER'S DYSPEP-
STA TABLETS alone, for the tablets
won't let dyspepsia alone.

TRIPLE MURDER IN KANSAS
Man, Wife and Child Victim of
Fiend

Frontenac. Kan, Nov PA lone
ly road a mile north OF here was the
scene of triple murder and an as
saut on a woman some time Friday
night The dead are Mr.. and Mrs
William Borke, Germans, of Fronten-
ac, and their son, who was two and
one-half years old Mr.. Borke pre-
sumably was killed while trying to
defend his wife.
The Borkes were last seen alive
Friday night, when they started to
drive home to Frontenac from the
home of Mrs. Borke's mother, two
miles out in the country. In the
morning their horse and buggy were
found standing in the roadway at a
deserted spot. In the bottom of the
buggy was discovered the child, dead
from bullet wound in the head. Has
tily pursuing their Investigations, mi
ners who found the child's body, came
across the body of Borke in the mid
die of the road some distance away.
Borke had been shot once in the head
and twice in the body.
A trail through the dust plainly led
the miners to corn field hundred
feet further away. There they found
the body of the woman. She had
been assaulted and then shot through
the heart.
Mrs Borke evidently had fought
desperately Along the trail to the
corn field were found her slipper,
ribbons from her hair and her cloak
Made desperate by the failure of
the police to find any tangible clue to
the identity of the murderer, armed
bands of citizens are searching the
surrounding country for the slayer.
Lynching may follow if he is caught.

Madam, Would You
Like a Healthy
Complexion?

The rosy cheeks, red lips, and bright
sparkling eyes of natural healthy beauty
is the only kind that charms. Lotions,
washes, paints and powders deceive no one.
The real Beauty of Health comes only
with pure rich blood. What makes pure
red blood2 Why, your stomach, liver and
bowels all working right. Dyspepsia, in
digestion, constipation and biliousness will
ruin any complexion. To get rid of these
and have the Beauty Of Health, the only
real Beauty, take Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills. They invigorate the
blood, strengthen the nerves, and the skin
becomes rosy and red, showing the circu-
lation Is normal and active as Nature in
tended it should be. Physicians use and
recommend. They form no habit. You
should always keep them on hand. These
little Vegetable Pills viii ward off many ills.

Plain.LivIno Emperor.

Although the majority of royal per
sonages are noted for their lavish din
ner tables. there is at least one reign
ing monarch whose meals are Of the
simplest. This monarch Is the en-
peror Of China His whole life is lived
in obedience to the most stringent
etiquette and his food is all regulated
for him by statute. SO strict are the
laws governing the imperial household
that when he desires new dish he
has to pass a special decree before he
can have it. and the court physicians
keep a strict watch over his appetite
Should he show special liking for
any particular Wand, the chances are
that they will persuade him not to
take it, under. the pretense that It may
prove injurious TO his health.

a difference. On the British side lady

and on the French side she would

MUSICAL DRAMA is 4
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

A comedy with music well describes
.'The District Leader" which is to be seen
at the Auditorium February 2. Joseph
z. Howard's music, real plot and an ex-
cellent company have made this produc-
ton one Of the hits Of the season, Il is
enough to say that Mr., Howard wrote the
music. That fact alone guarantees the
catchiness and beauty of the songs which
are plentiful in THE District Leader but
although the writing Of plot is some
thing new for the popular composer, in
this his latest efforts, the story is as much
of feature as the music and is of the
same degree Of excellence. As every
number in THE District Leader is a pro-
nounced hit, some idea Of the quality Of
pIot may be obtained. Miss Grace Sloan
heads company made UP in part with
C. Milford Giffen. Albert Denier, Frank
Weed Gustave Neville, Naomi Dale and
Vera Hamilton and is assisted by large
chorus, All the principals have made
hits in their respective parts and together
with such song successes as Heart 10
Let" whats the use Of DreamineY' )
Same Old Story. Home is Home ,
and Something Doing Around my Heart
have made THE District Leader a well
rounded entertainment calculated to
please the present up-to-date audiences.
