DON'T BE Misled

The retail druggists OF this country,
as class, are noted for their high
standard of intelligence and honorable
dealing, but it is we'll known fact that
occasionally you will find one who will
try to sell you something else when
you call for a remedy of established
reputation. He forgets that your
health is more important than his
pocketbook.
For example, when you ask for DR..
Kilmer's swamp Root, the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, don't
let any druggist, drug clerk or store
keeper persuade YOU into buying
something else In its place. Every
time he succeeds in selling you a
worthless substitute he makes more
profit, but you are humbugged at the
expense of your health.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable rec
ord maintained by DR.. Kilmer's
swamp Root. From the very begin
ming, the proprietore had so much con-
fidence in it that they invited every one
to send for free sample BETTE so that
people could Judge OF its great curative
value in even the most distressing
cases Of kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
On another page of thio paper you
will find few Of the letters, prompted
by feelings of heartfelt gratitude. that
ale constantly coming to DR.. Kilmer &
Company. No one can doubt such sin
cere and honest testimony.

THE AUDITORIUM.

The bill at the Auditorium the pres
ent week would be hard to surpass for
clean moral fun and every act is a
headliner The musical sketch entitled
The Makebelievers" is very capably
handled by Small, Sloan & Sheridan,
who. are the possessors of melodious
voices which blend most pleasingly.
This little playlet is supposed to take
place in the parlor of an Atlantic City
hotel. The time is the present and
the story told is that Of young girl
without money who goes to a hotel In
this popular resort in search of a rich
husband. The climax of this farce is
very funny and always wins loud APP
plause.
Richly Craig is a Dutch comedian OF
more than ordinary ability with lots OF
new jokes and stories which keep his
audience in laughter during his entire
act Mr.. Craig's own idea of using q
monograph for partner is certainly a
novel and amusing one.
The Jolly Prices or the Colored Mer-
rymakers do fifteen minutes of the
liveliest kind of singing and dancing
and are equal if not better than any
colored team seen at this popular play
house in long time.
The pictures are all good this week
being interesting and well chosen sub
iects. Especially good is the battle
scene on the Rappahannock river.

BREED rHEATER.
Beware of Evil Companions, SPeetaeu'
lar Motion Picture.


This splendid motion picture was
presented last evening at the Breed
theater and met with the heartiest ap-
prevail of the audience because OF the
great moral to be derived from 1t. The
story is of a young married man who
falls in with bad companions and IS
led into an assault and robbery, and
Just as he is about to take the wallet
Of money his young son arrives ana
drives the father away, after replacing
the wallet. The son then hurries home
and secures the services of his mother,
who insists upon taking the injured
stranger to her home to resuscitate him
and after doing so her husband re-
turns to find the man whom he had as
saulted being tenderly cared for by his
wife and son. The humiliation OF the
victim of bad companions knows no
bounds when the stranger insists upon
giving the husband the wallet that a
short time before was the object OF
the robbery.
The other fine pictures shown this
week are The Prodigal Daughter, The
Settlement Workers of New York,
