"THE Fatal, WEDDING"

The Rhode Opera House Theatre
will have Theodore Kremer's greatest
melodrama, under the management of
Klimt and Gazzolo, next Sunday matt
nee and night. The management has
a reputation which is second to none
in the country, and this IS the reputa-
ton of the play in the popular priced
houses, and so, together with an un-
excelled cast and fine scenic surround
ings, the public is offered a production
which has drawn capacity business
wherever it has been played this sea-
son. Get to the box Office early and
so keep out of the "sorry" class, for
those who come late are liable to be
disappointed. Watch for "The Lit
tie Mother" and the many other in
teresting and true-to-life characters
which are so cleverly portrayed by
Klimt and Gazzolo's great Ground
the Country" company, now making
its final record-breaking tour. You'll
never have another chance to see this
play so well acted and staged, and you
shouldn It take any chances. Millions
have seen it in the past and have
never regretted the money spent for
seats. Why shouldn It you be in the
same class? DIV

Listen To Your Pains.
Aches and Pains Are Natures
Warnings of Trouble Ahead.


Mental and physical sickness are ex-
actly like the breaking down of the
loaded coal wagon across the car
tracks. The hindered traffic represents
the state Of mind or body under dis
eased conditions. Our aches and pains
are natures warning that we have
violated the laws of life and health and
soon we must pay unless we heed.
Most ills can be traced directly or
indirectly to the stomach or digestive
tract. Eat right and it's 10 to 1 that
you will be right in health, and health
means wealth.
Don't load your stomach with heavy
foods such as meats and bread and POI
tatoes in the morning. Try E-C Corn
Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes
with good milk or cream and perhaps
little fresh or stewed fruit. You'll

these figures has attempted to sho "

A copy of the leaflet was sent &c
