FOUND RIGHT pETA
After a False Start.

''In 1890 began to drink coffee.
"At that time was het1thy and .en-
joyed life. At first noticed mo &ad
effects from the Indulgence but in
y course Of time found that various
troubles were coming upon me.
"Palpitation Of the heart took urto
Itself sick and nervous headaches, kid
ney troubles followed and eventually
my stomach became SO deranged that
even a light meal caused me serious
distress.
"our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then I dcsed myself
with patent medicines till I was thor
oughly disgusted and hopeless.
Finally began to suspect that cof-
fee was the cause, of my troubles. e1-
perimented by leaving It of, except
for one small cup at breakfast This
helped some but did not altogether re-
iieve my distress. 1t satisfied me,
however, that was on the right track.

began to use Postum. In ten days ]
found myself greatly improved, my
nerves steady. my head clear, my kid
neys working better and better, rhy
hearts action rapidly improving, my
appetite improved and the ability to
eat a hearty meal without subsequent
suffering restored to me. And this con-

Oh, it was all right for Jim to
laugh and gay that me was only huffed

thing queer in his face as he went

"MUTT AND JEFF"
 BIG MUSICAL SHOW

The announcement of a new Gus
 Hill production is always sure to create unusual interest. In this par ticular instance MT. Hill has outdone all his previous efforts ill the thea trical way bYak vtase ,hhe .p.saic some thing new. N1e f.anesof uae attrac- tion which will hold the boards at the Elks Theatre on Nov. 13, is "Mutt and
 Jeff' and is founded on the famous cartoons by Bud Fisher. Mutt and
 Jeff" figure in three act musical
 comedy and their escapades and ad- ventures form the basis of an inter- esting and expressing entertainment. Surrounded by capable supporting company, excellent scenic and mech anical effects and a beauty chorus of acknowledged supremacy, the 1.-two funny fellows have plenty of oppor- tunity to dominate, and they do so to the queen's 4ste. As in the original comics Jeff" is the buffer. He is subservient to the whims, caprices and wiles of the ever scheming "A. Mutt" who besides being soldier of fortune is a plotter of mischief Jeff" gets the worst of the bargain naturally, but while ignorance is bliss in his case his antics are not without some particular interest. At any rate the twain excite laughter and the mission of the author is therefore fully sus- tained. The production is on the pre- tentious, ambitious order. The cos tuning is gorgeous and the other de- tails compare favorably with any theatrical vehicle presented here abouts this season, for that matter tain, There is plot and plausible one, too. In it's development there is tinge of the dramatic, which tends rather to enhance than deteriorate the value of the show The music, and there are fourteen members, ensem- bles, etc., is original. It is play for the masses as we'll as the classes and as it was written simply to amuse and entertain, and succeeds, it's fu ture is not shrouded in doubt. If you are in search of real fun, provided by proficient actors, comedians and sing CTS, the latest offering should fill the bill. Gloom has no chance in its ranks so those who attend ought to have a gala time. There will be no increase in the prices and the usual matinee will be given.

In this branch of arenic art the

Many of them have appeared in every capital in every country on the con- tinent of Europe and are now con- pleting tour of the world, embracing one season in this country with the Hagenbeck- Shows. These companies comprise men With the forms of an Adonis and the aerial skill of Mercury, and the women each a flying Venus would be but mild description Their acts are ab- sclutely new, novel and hazardous and the feats and exploits, all accomplish of execution, that thought of fear in the beholder is dispelled and he can but marvel and admire. At dizzy heights they soar like unwinged birds through space, darting and diving from swaying porches; passing ami exchanging on far-swinging trapeze, throwing and catching one another; piroquetting and somersaulting and filling the air with flying forms until the audience becomes spellbound. They are not alone in the field of ae
 rial exploit with the Hagenbeck-W lace Shows, for there are scores of other companies and individuals who participate in the midair circus. The famous Carmen Troupe, whose feats on an apparently invisible wire stretched high beneath the dome of the tent would be considered marvel ous, even if performed on the ground, No equilibristic performance of any time has equaled this in sensational ism. There are troupes of aerial ar lists, high horizontal bar performers and sensational diving somersaulters who are the acknowledged champions of their class, all of whom help to conjure up a mind picture of the mi raculous performances in the air at these great shows. Never before has such large and astonishing aggre- gation or aerialists been gathered to- gether under canvas with any show.
