WEAK STOMACHS

Some time, through neglect, or SYM
pathetic weakness, it is impossible for
the stomach to aEsimilate what 1t most
needs. In such cases it becomes ne
cessary to administer a neutralizing
mixture to prevent the formation of gas
in the intestines. and give the stomach
an opportunity to resume its functions.
For this purpose the following formula
has been recommended: One-half ounce
sodium phosphate. one ounce essence of
sealmint, one-half teaspoonful baking
soda. enough pure water to make eight
ounces. 1t has been claimed that this
simple mixture. taken two teaspoonfuls
before each meal. will stimulate the
gastric juices, check fermentation in
the intestines and thus aid the stomach
In assuming its natural functions.
Cut this out, in case you may some
time need it. Any druggist can make
up this mixture at cost not exceeding
60 or SIS cents.

Perhaps there never has been so law
ish and unique a production Of Uncle
Toms Cabin as that which William
Kibble will offer amusement lovers at
Towle opera house tonight The scenes,
which are large enough to fill the most
spacious stage. could not easily be i'm

river in winter, the rocky pass in which
George Harris protects his family, the
st. Clair plantation. the levee at New
Orleans, the cotton fields in full bloom,
and the Celestial city" are all the
most notable efforts, each picture be-
ing the reality as closely as that which
paint and canvass will permit, and the
stage perspective is so deep that the
effect is exceptionally pleasing. The
company is worthy Of its environment.
So many skilled actors have never be-
fore been engaged together as in this
play. Frank Lee. the eminent minstrel
star, offers an excellent study of I'm
Gle Tom" preserving the atmosphere
and accent of the old slave to re-
markable degree.

a tour Of the world in moving pictures
was started at s O'Clock before good
sized audience. From that hour until
the finish at 1920 o'clock those present
enjoyed one of the most delightful en-
tertainments presented here for some
time. Each scene was given hearty
applause and the realism with which
they were produced amazed and de-
lighted everyone. Martin and Batter
shall have evidently spared neither
pains nor expense in making this pro-
duction the very limit OF perfection.
They are practically the only exhib-
itors in the country who present moving
pictures with the seriousness and dig
nifty that should characterize this mod
ern art. This claim is well substan-
tiated by the mere mention that to
witness their Tour Around the World
is the next best thing to making the
