the killing of inconvenient men who

spider, with its web. which, in this
case. is a curio shop, into which
women are tempted by strange oh
jects, land his victims. Of course, rep
resent the unsuspecting fly. The chief
impression of the spectators involves
the novel, the CHASTITY and the weird,
with an edging of the horrible by way
Of establishment. "The Green
Beetle" is wonderfully well staged and
enacted and 1t grips from beginning
to end. Here, at least, is sometime
for the theatergoer who would get
away from the conventional. Then
there is Paul Morton and pretty
Naomi Glass, presenting their delight

adds many smiles and delights with
his music as a tramp musician; Hugh

and variety are happily blended
throughout the offering. - Advertise

AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping Of Mucus
into my Throat.

A severe cough Is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough Is q functional dis
turbance 1t is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mueus from the
hack part OF the rose into the throat
Indicates nasal caJarrh. Sometimes
this goes on q long time before the
patient rays any attention to it. 1t
is stated on goad authority that mu-
ems Dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. AT any rate. the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland. of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty-three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost continual dropping of
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent eypectoration Ny entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks Of bilious collie. from which it
seemed could not recover. My
bowels also became affected. causing
alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
Il tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. / at last tried Peruna, and in
three days was relieved of the bowel
arrangement After using five bottles
I was entirely cured.
Il most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"

zines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.
