'Then players often worked three or
four rehersals and never showed up
again. Many times after working with
them several rehersals, would find that
they never would make actresses. This
meant a new start. Some would work
up to within a few weeks of time to
go on the road. and then go with an
other company already started.

Purify Your Blood and Put
Yourself in Good Shape.

The necessity of being prepared for
any emergency is being forcibly i'm
pressed upon each and every individ-
ual. First and foremost is the i'm
portance of having a sound physical
body. of keeping yourself in prime
condition always. so as to be at al
times equipped to fight an enemy that
Is ever threatening-the enemy of
III Health.
This means that every assistance
must be given to nature in her ef-
fort to combat disease and keep the
system in proper condition. And right
now. as Spring approaches. nature
needs more help than ever, for the
system needs a thorough houseclean-
ing to get rid of the accumulated i'm
purities. and thus avoid the dangerous
fevers that are so prevalent in Spring
and Summer.
You have doubtless felt the need
of a good tonic, though you may not
have recognized the call that nature
was making in the form of loss of
appetite. lassitude. energy gone. and
a general "good-for-nothing" feeling
that pervades your whole body. Such
symptoms mean that the blood has be-
come sluggish. that the accumulated
impurities are clogging the circulation
and that a general impairment of
your health is imminent unless the
proper corrective steps are promptly
taken.
There is absolutely no necessity for
permitting the change of seasons to
cause this rundown condition of your
system. for there is a remedy easily

Don Clark. director, stage manager,
and prominent actor. with the Great
Star and Garter Show" this week at the
Gayety. tells in jovial manner of his
troubles IN Chicago last summer while
preparing this attraction.
'"This troop" said Don Clark, was
no harder to assemble than others in
former years have been. But It was
real trouble on those hot summer days
when I was waiting at the theater for
the players to arrive for the rehearsal
Half an hour after the appointed time
they would begin struggling in, and at
the same time was receiving telephone
messages something like this: Tell Mr..
Clark that Miss Jones cannot attend
rehearsal today because her mother Is
very ill., Later l would learn that her
mother had been dead for fifteen years.
