IertdInln6nt.
 Beginning Monday evening, the 1 Lyric theatre will be occupied for the 1 coming week with an especially elab- crate production of that delightful TO- nance Tn the Palace of the King, and the Eleanor Cleveland company ! will achieve another success which will be even greater than any II mas enjoyed previously Tn the Palace of the King sis. a drama tizatiOn by Iorlmer.~ Stoddard from the book of the same name by F. Marion Crawford, 3, book which has been one of the biggest sellers on the market, and 9. play which has been one of the greatest successes known to the contemporaneous stage. In the play, Viola Allen, the, noted actress | made probably the greatest of all her
 successes, and the version to be en- pIoyed by the Eleanor Cleveland com pany here next week is the same as
 used by her. It is probably the most successful of all the great costume p1ays,'' and as romantic drama mas never been surpassed.
 The leading role of Dona Maria Do Iores de Mendoza, or as she is called in the play, Dona Dolores, will be as-
 suned by Miss Cleveland, and those who have seen her in the romantic
 drama will easily conjecture that II will fit her to nicety-
 As Don John, half brother to King Philip II, of Spain, Harry Ingram will have character which vii! bring out all the fire and virility of his abil-
 itv. a part in which he will appear
 probably to better advantage than Tn anything he has done this season. John Carroll. also. as the tyrannical
 overbearing monarch, will have
 character that will give him every op-
 portunity to distinguish himself.
 There are six acts, all laid in and
 about the castle of King Philip, 1570, in
 Madrid thus furnishing the scenic ar
 lists with material for some of the
 most beautiful and striking stage pie
 lures possible to imagine KarkunoH
 & Schrock, Miss Cleveland's managers,
 Who are also her scenic artists, have
 taken full advantage of this, and have
 produced a series of settings which do
 them immense credit.

W0MAN'S MOST SUCCESSFUL:
 
 MEDICINE
Known All Over The World Known Only For The
 Good 1t Has Done.

We know of no other medicine which has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women, or received so many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 In nearly every community you will find women who have been restored to health by this famous medicine. Almost every woman you meet knows of the great good it has been doing among suffering women for the past 30 years.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health, in which many openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, many of whom state that it has saved them from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is made from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
 The reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, re- storing it to healthy and normal activity.
