THE SECRET
 OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the Peoples Con
 fidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that Ire extensively advertised, all at once hrop out of sight and are soon for rotten? The reason is p1ain-the ar Hcle did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more par ticu1arly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, like an endless chain system the remedy is recom- mended by those who have been cured, to those who are in need of it.
 In an interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says Take for example Dr. .Ki1mer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recom- mend, for in almost every case it shows f1nIn ediate results, as many of my custome CTS testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale"
 The success of pr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact that 1t fulfi1s every wish in overcoming kidney, liv- CT and bladder diseases, corrects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

PoLI'S VAUDEVILLE
(By the PoIi Press Agent.)

(By the PoIi. Press Agent.)
 '"The best show of the season" is the consensus of opinion of all who see the big offering at PoIis theatre this week and scanning of the pro- gram, would seem to substantiate the verdict of the patrons of the new big playhouse. Mercedes, the most en- tertaining mystiffer that ever showed here, is so far above the average "spook'' worker, that comparison is out of the question. His remarkable demonstrations at each and every performance brings forth expressions of wonder and amazement and yet, withal, the offering of Mercedes is strangely enchanting and most enter taining and diverting. His assistant. Mile. Stantone is, by far the best pianiste ever heard here and her knowledge of music is almost un- canny. Maud Lambert, the prima donna, and Ernest Ball, the famous composer, are, to use the vernacular, "A riot'' at every performance. Henry & Francis in "Just Nonsense,'' prove their right to that title, for their sketch and twice, each day, cause ever noticed at Polls before. Tim McMahon's Pullman Porter Maids, with a large chorus and a heavy scenic 'eQuipmen ent, representing Grand Central terminal, with trains con- tinually pulling out, are making hit with their negro songs, dances and batter. Ward & Weber in a delight fully refined singing act, Bedford and Winchester in grotesQue juggling act, and Lima Pantzer. the dainty queen of the. bounding slack wire, fill out the big show, with the kineto- phone and added attention at the end of the bill.

ROBIN HOOD REVIVAL.

No more seasonable attraction could possibly have been devised than the revival of Robin Hood," which the De Koven Opera Company will offer at the Park Theatre Wednesday April 30. That light opera classic sprang into favor from the time of it's first performance over twenty years ago. Musical entertainments have come and gone in the interim, but RobfR Hood' still retains it's freshness and it makes the musical comedies of the day seem tawdry in comparison. The present revival of Robin Hood'' is un- der the auspices of special com pany organized by Reginald De Ko- ven, the composer. The special rnis- sion of the organization is to endeavor to foster a taste for the better class of light operas. by producing them on an elaborate scale and with the best singers available. The cast of Rob in Hooo' contains no less then eight

(bY Ine El3z0 HrOSS AS6nt.D
 A vaudeville bill of unusual excel lence and photo plays of real merit are to be seen at the Plaza. Not a weak spot on the program can be de- tected judging from the applause each act received al the performance last night The Colonial Montrose Troupe of eight musical acrobats from the New York Hippodrome are the talk of the town.

Some of the old timers in the audience readily remembered Frank Howard, who is doing a singing monologue turn, although sixty-nine years of age The Georgia Trio are the real funmakers of the bill.
