LADIES.


Do not be operated on, do not sub
NIT yourself to the unClc1ful use Of
the knife.
Many cases that have come under
the observation Of our chief physician
and were operated on have suffered
more after the operation than before.
The treatment given by him has saved
many a woman an operation, and by
consulting this doctor it might be the
means Of doing so for you.
II you have backache, headache,
pains and suffer with trouble peculiar
to women. consult him and obtain his
opinion Of your case.
A skilled physician should be able to
locate your trouble and tell you what
your troubles are, without you telling
the doctor. When you consult the
United Specialists they viii tell you
your exact condition without asking
you a lot of questions. When a ply
stefan is able to do this he certainly
understands your condition, and is able
to treat your case successfully.
MEN by the score have been cured
after trying worthless remedies and
appliances. In speaking Of his treat
ment the chief physician said:
81 have studied and investigated all
methods that promised cure. I have
spent thousands Of dollars and fifteen
Of the best years OF my life in bring
ing the Electro Vibration method of
treatment (Which I originated) to its
present stage Of curative perfection,
and I know there is no other treat
ment, combined with proper drug medi-
cation, that Will give such marvellous
results"
THE FACT THAT SO many RENE
dies have been tried and all proved
failures has naturally made every suf-
ferer think he can not be cured and
we do not blame the man who has
spent his time and money upon medi-
cine and appliances for being very
skeptical.
KNOWING WHAT WE CAN DO we
advertise 1t that every man who has
such trouble may come and investigate
for himself We cordially invite all to
come and have a talk with us. We
will be pleased to give you full infor-
nation on the subject. We will ex-
plain why it is we cure. We will show
you how we get right down to the dis
eased spot and eradicate the trouble.
Anyone can understand 1t; It is sim
pie and easy to show and prove that
we have the cure for you.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Last Niuht's PLAY.


Nat Goodwin entertained a small
audience at the opera house last night
rms season THE Captain" is the We
nlcle In which the famous commedian
is travelling. The cast of 1.-The Cap
tain Is a very large one and some
OF the parts are especially good,
George Osborne, as the gum drop
klng contributing almost as much
TO the success of the bill as Nat
Goodwin, himself. In fact the best
parts OF the bill are the dialogues be-
tween the gum drop king" and the
impersonator Of Capt Hastings,
Miss Margaret Moreland, the leading
lady, is a very pretty blonde, but in
asmuch as she is given no opportunity
to show her talent as an actress the
audience had no opportunity to learn
what she could do. She has q sweet
smile, pretty face and form, how
ever, and was on the stage enough
during the evening to please the eye
while Nat Goodwin amused the audi
ence.
And he was thoroughly satisfying to
his admirers who will brave almost
any kind OF elements to hear him,
and he was compelled to respond to
eight or nine curtain calls after each
act.
The Captain" is a peculiar little
play. It is lacking in detail and has
none of the intense moments that an
audience invariably expects. There is
not moment during the entire bill
when the audience is held in expec-
tat1on, awe or suspense. It Is simply
an opportunity for Nat Goodwin to
dispense his wit and he 10 materially
helped in this by George Osborne.
The three acts take place in . hotel
at Manila during one day and the next
morning and through the windows Of
the hotel a pretty harbor scene makes
a very Appropriate stage setting.
All of the cast do their work well
and "The Captain" is altogether a
good bill.

Today there will be new Mutt and
Jefr picture at the Elite Theatre to
the delight Of many hundreds who
have been we'll entertained by the two
as Reporters" this time. What the
two were ever out for was doing" the
easy thing" So they make the rounds
OF the big dailies lookings for the re-
porter's cinch. Two Of the Stars"
star reporters are missing, and Mutt
and jeff arrive at the psychological
moment, which means they connect.
jeff Is assigned to do the society and
theatrical stunt, while Mutt, who is
brave and game, is to mingle with
low-browed chaps and unearth the
foul doings of the denizsns of the I'M
derworld. The former meets with I'M
qualified success, making a decided hit
with DANES of high degree and dra-
matte and operate stars Of great re-
nown. When ne turns his report-a
dandy scoop-the Star" engages the
little fellow at an enormous salary;
and JEFF, conscious OF his immense
worth, automobiles away with one of
the SWEETEST mem ers of the gentle sex.
In the meantime, Mutt has not been
idle. He gets on the scent. All! a
suspfciously dark cellar crowded with
suspicious looking bunch of dark,
scowling men, criminals to be sure
Mutt breaks in upon them, and they
cab drivers holding a meeting-fall
upon the thin guy" ard pummel the
daylight out of him. Black and blue,
beaten almost beyond recognition, but
proud for having uncovered a band of
criminals, Mutt manages to make his
report, which earns the disapproval of
the Star" and he gets fired" with
neatness, dispatch and footwork
There, out in the busting street,
poor Mutt sees with envious eyes the
fast disappearing auto bearing away
the smiling jeff and his lady friend.

sides another noteworthy feature are

Historx of tho Sardine.

The sardine has been honored with
q history, the writer being no less a
parsonage than member OF the So
ciete Academique Of Nantes. The sar-
dine In the early days was brought In
In small boats. Then came police
ordinance in 1888 in the interest of
the poorer classes against the monop-
olist. Owing to the police ordinance
the sardine was a source of livelihood
to the Bretons. Joseph Cillin. whose
name Is still revered In Nantes, first
prepared the fish with oil. His ven
ture was great success, and he had
many imitators. In 1885 there was
something like a crisis In the sardine
industry. Millet, who was the chief
curer, had his factory indicted as a
nuisance. but the difficulty was over
come by removing 1t from the center
of the town to the shore. Although
the fame of the sardine was firmly
established, it was only in 1855 that
1t received its apotheosis. Then it
was shown in the Paris exhibition
London Globe.
