"The Country Girl

THE Country Girl' opened Mt the
orpheuTn Yesterday to weii-hiled
houses. 1t is a musical comedy built
up around the old familiar theme Of
the country squire, the sheriff and the
hired man. The piece lacks SNAP or
ginger and dfags considerably in parts.
Toward the end a little more action
was supplied. but II was of the slap
stick variety. The disadvantage under
absence of a comedian or comedians TO
act as the pivot OF it's fun. Another
I drawback Is the appropriateness of the
chorus. They need more than a little
training and a'few rehearsals would
not be amiss. The chorus Is pretty.

two OF them being good dancers. A

STOPPED,
Dangerous Drug Giving Way fol-
Safer, More Reliable Remedy.

Hundreds of people in this vicinity
alone have stopped the use OF danger
Gus calomel when their live is acting
slowly. and take Dodson's Liver Tone
instead.
Dodson's Liver Tone is always safe
and has none of the bad after-effects
which so often follow the use of calo-
mel. 1t is a pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid that starts the liver gent
Ivy and surely, and relieves consti-
patton and biliousness and causes no
restriction of habit or diet.
Many preparations have sprung up
that initiate the claims made for Dod-

Dodson's Liver Tone is the tried and
tested remedy that has, proven such
a good medicine and is so satisfactory
