1.-THE LIGHT ETERNAL"

A certain glamour of romance is
shed over the stirring tales of the mar
tyrdoms of centuries ago as they have
been told in a few of the more sue
cessful dramas of recent years, and
in '"The Light Eternal which comes
to the Illinois theatre tomorrow even
ing. there is an unusually delightful
mingling of the suffeFings of the early
adherents of the faith with the in
trigues of the Roman nobility; and
through it all runs a pathetic human
interest tale of true love that ends, as
did all things Christian then, among
the lions in the arena of the historic
coliseum. The play is a consecutive.
dramatic and well sustained story of
love, suffering and faith. Its staging
is elaborate and artistic, and the pre-
senting company is of distinctly su-

LIVELY MAJESTIC BILL.

While perhaps not as strong gen
orally as the bill of last week, the bill
for the first half of this week present
ed by Manager Quinn at the Majestic is
a lively and entertaining one and
seemed from the laughter and ap-
plause last night to be more enioya-
bic. Adair and Henry opened the
show with an act called Classical
Tomfoolery," in which there is special
scenery, good fooling and some very
fair singing Mrs. Casey's song. will
You Forgive if 1 Forget" was well
received. The best act on the bill is
placed second. 1t consists of must
cal sketch called "a Quiet Honey
moon" played by Clara Lane and j.
x. Murray. These two are capable
funmakers and very good singers as
shown by their rendering of a grand
opera in concluding the act. Even
their funny fooling and burlesque fun
making could not detract from their
excellent singing. Hickey and Nelson
in a skit called Twisted and Tangled
present some new wrinkles to the old
knockabout act in which there are fun
ny falls and high kicking. Florence
Wilson. known as the Girl with the
Windmill Hat received big share Of
the applause.

entire treatment.

How to Stop Drinking.

It was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker 20 take the pledge reg
ularly, sometimes once year, and some
times in every fit of remorse that fol-
lowed his debauches. and then-break it,
But now it is gra 1ually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system of
the habitual drinker is diseased and he
must have treatment that will cure this
condition. Orrine is sold under a posi-
tive guarantee to cure the drink habit

PROPER TREATMENT
CURES DRUNKENNESS
No Case So Severe, but 1t Can Be
Cured if Right Method Is Adopted.

The right kind of treatment cures
drunkenness. The Neal Three Day
Tiduor cure has been accepted by
the medical profession as a specific
for periodical and habitual drunken
ness. Men who drink should investi-
gate what the Neal treatment has ae-
complished for hundreds of alcoholic
wrecks who have been discharged
from the Neal institute in Davenport,
at S2I Farnam street, after only
three days treatment with all appe
tite for drink destroyed. The Neal
treatment is not administered hypo-
dermically and is not composed of
powerful injurious drugs, but on the
contrary is given internally and is
as harmless as spring water. After
three days treatment at the Neal
institute a man is restored to his
family and business in perfect mental
and physical condition.
