Are You Looking Old!

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty.
That is because they neglect the liver
and bowels. Keep your bowels regu-
lar and your liver healthy and you
will not only feel younger but look
younger. When troubled with consti-
patton or biliousness take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They are intended es-
pecially for these ailments and are
excellent. Easy to take and most
agreeable in effect Obtainable every
where.

AUTO SHOW NEXT
BIG ATTRACTION
Kalamazoo Dressed in her
Best for the Big Event 70
Which Every Auto Fan
Has Been Looking For
ward.

With greter attractions bigger dis
rative scheme than has ever been Of
fered before, the Sixth Annual Automo-
bile Show given by the Kalamazoo Au-
tomobile Dealers Association will be
held at the Michigan State Armory in
Kalamazoo, February 1-6. The pro-
ducts of AZ factories representing over
$1OO,O in cars will be on display, and
the America First" decorative scheme
has entailed a cost of $4,000. Over
1000 incandescent lights will be used
in the plans which the decorators have
prepared for the weeks event.
1t will be the biggest show that the
Kalamazoo Association has ever Of
fered, and throughout the week the
Kalamazoo Automobile men will enter
tain the dealers and enthusiasts from
Southwestern Michigan.
The show itself will be of added in
terest this year owing to the extensive
display of multiple cylinder cars, which
represents the latest development in
motor car construction. Eighteen ex-
hibitors will display SKIES, which was
the first step from the four cylinder
motor. Eight dealers will have eights
on exhibition, while the Haynes will
display their newest model with a
twelve cylinder motor, which will be
the only one of that design.
The Haynes exhibit will be a special
one owing to the America First
plan of the show, as that company
built Americas first car, and that it is
the only car exhibiting at Kalamazoo
which participated in the First Nation
al Automobile Show in this country in
1901. But three of the original exhib
itors still remain in business, they be
ing the National, the Haynes and the
Woods.
The entertainment feature will also
be greater than has ever been pro
vided before. Fischer's orchestra will
furnish music every day during the
show, and at the close in the evening
the hall will be turned over for dane
ing. Tuesday night will be observed a'
Ladies' night, Wednesday night az
Cabaret night, Thursday as Society
night, and Friday will be observed al
dealers day when all the dealers from
Southwestern Michigan are expected
to participate in the special features
that Lave been arranged for them.

SWEETEST GIRL
IN DIXIE A HIT
Play Staged by Local |. O. O.
F. Under Direction of AL.
Ian O. White Played to
Crowded Houses Monday
and Tuesday Nights.

Monday evening the opera house was
crowded TO its capacity by an apprecia
tive audience to witness the home talent
production under the management of
Alien O. White.
AS the curtain slowly rolled into posi-
tion il presented to view the stage set
ting Of a ty pical southern home of the
old style
Miss Christine Carr, as The Sweetest
Girl in Dixie, seemed to be the very girl
for this roll. She was very much at
home on the stage and played her part
in manner that would make much
older and experienced actresses look
well to their laurels Even Mary Pick
ford might have to look twice ia her own
mirror to make sure of herself.
Ray Curtiss, the hero and lover Of the
plot, was also fine and played his part
with all the ardor that could be desired.
He proved quite star.
The colored parts Of Aunt Caroline and
Uncle George were handled in a most
capable and artistic manner by Mrs.
Charles Filley and Percy Wheeler They
caused great bursts of laughter to sweep
over the entire audience most of the
time and were both stars at their parts.
ID wight Barker has surely missed his
calling and We would not be surprised
to hear that he had given up meat cut
ting and taken to cutting up antics on
the stage. HIS makeup WAS all that
could be desired and he ma lie a decided
hit 10 the manner in which he handled
his part.
j. 3 Rlckard, as the confederate colo.
mel and the father of the Sweetest Girl
10 Dixie, acted his part we'll and seemed
to be the very man for that character.
Fern Hess, as the old maid, Matilda
Martin, was one of the greatest surprises
OF the evening So we'll did she look
ard play her part that everything in
sight began to look old and stiff as soon
as she appeared on the scene. She sure
was good and it would have taken 5 )me
one way up 10 the profession to beat her.
Mrs. Winnie Taylor as number one
beggar was good character and bard to
beat.
1t was one good show and Mr.. White
proved himself Of more THAI ordinary
ability to drill into his characters such
perfect Interpretation of their various
characters as to make Monday evenings
entertainment the complete success that
it WAS 10 just one short week, and also
the fact that so many OF the cast were
those who appeared on the stage for the
| first time ia their lives
The l. o. o. +. made nice little sum
and all who bad any thing to do with the
success of the play are to be congra,u-
lated

who recently accepted the office OF as
