"Thc Man and the Mummy"

Phi! Otis Comedians appeared at the
Opera house last evening in the first
OF series of five productions to be
given this week and to big audience.
and the production was in every way
worthy Of the cordial greeting which
was accorded it. The presentation was
the musical comedy, THE Man and
the Mummy" and it was rendered in
a way that won the approval of the
audience at the start. OF the plot there
was iittle-just enough to carry the
comedy through, and the rest was fun,
real, clean fun, fun that called for a
laugh every minute, and sometimes
twice a minute.
Phil OFT as Felix Dink, "The Man.
is the bright particular star of the
company, and he is ably assisted by a
well-balanced company. AL Steadman
is comedian of the type that is sure
to win his audience early, and last
night his contribution to the success
OF the production was marked. Blanche
Parquette as Taris, "The Mummy
was great success. Shapely in con-
tour and fair in feature, she is pos
sessed of a soprano voice of much
purity. and charmed her audience with
her solos. AS an encore she sang "The
Rosary and in a way that was most
acceptable. The other members of the
cast were all good and the pony ballet
of eight shapely young women is all
right and forms an appropriate setting
for the rest of the company.
The production was replete with fun
Jokes that are new and really funny
and tuneful music, and the combination
produced is one that will stand repeti-
ton and still leave desire on the part
of the audience to see it again.
''The Man and the Mummy" will be
given as a matinee this afternoon and
the evening attraction viii lbe The
Boston Belle"

SICK HEADACHE
A WARNING THAT SOMETHING Is
WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
Building up the Health Of the Whole
Body Viii Generally Cure It.

BUILDING up the Health OF the vSnose
Body VIII Generally Cure It.
Sick headache is one of the provisions
by which nature gives timely and de.
finite warming that there is something
wrong with the health of the body. Its
exciting causes are varied and numerous.
The stomach may be out OF order. the
bowels sluggish, the nerves fatigued or
overtaxed, the body tired out or tagged
by loss Of sleep, Overwork. grief, worry,
excitement, or poisoned by impure air or
improper food Weakness in women is
also q common cause. These conditions,
which seriously affect the general health
of the body and fill the blood with poi.
sons. are first announced by a headache.
The treatment Of sick headache then
does not call for a drug which simply
deadens the pain but for medicine
which will remove the more serious
trouble which causes it. This can best
be done through the blood with the tonic
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
| The pills enable the blood to take up
added oxygen and SO cleanse it Of all
impurities and make it rich and red. In
doina. this they restore the strength and
| health of the entire body and not only
give permanent relief from headache
but cure the more serious trouble which
| is it's cause.
Miss f. M. Ridley, of No. 20 Amherst
street. Roslindale, Mass, was cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills after years of
suffering. She describes her case as fol-
lows:
| "For ten years suffered from head
aches which began when was young
girl would have dull headache in
the morning which would become worse
as moved around. Attimes it would be
so severe that 1 would have to lie down.
Ny general health was affected and I
was dizzy great deal of the time.
II tried many kinds of headache rem
edies, but they only relieved the pain
for time. Finally heard of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills and gave them a trial.
| I could see that they were helping me
while on the first box. The spells did
not last so long and finally stopped
altogether For this reason l recon-
mend DR.. Williams Pink Pills very
highly"

all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid.

to birds native to England in his
poems, and all of them show thor

characteristics of the different species
Al Farringford the poets garden was
the home of the wild birds of the
hedgerows. The blackbird and robin
and the smaller birds nocked there in
great numbers, and it was considered
far more important that they should
feel welcome there than that the fruit
should be permitted to ripen undis'
turbed or the garden be kept in proper
order.
Domesticated birds also Tennyson
numbered among his friends. Brilliant
peacocks and more sober doves ana
pigeons, he loved them all.
