Most people die eventually Of an
over-acid condition. If tho blood can

we live. With regular hours, 9 TO 8
glasses Of water between meals, sensi

poisons out Of the system, a min will

ly, our highly nervous way Of living
brings increased storage of uric acid in
the blood. This acts rs q poison, and
when 1t accpmulates in system we. suffer
from headaches, backaehe neuralgia, lum'
bago, aches or pains any wheye, irrsgu-
larity Of the wster or burning sensations
or the painful twinges Of rheumatism and

Get rid Of this uric acid poison by
taking harmless medicine called
Anuric, which throws ont tho uric acid
by stimulating the kidneys. Drink a
pint OF hot water before meals and

"Sh,nhcrd or thc Hills"

Last night after the performance
of Harold Bell Wrights novel, THE
shepherd of the INNS, 10y the Van
DYKE x Eaton Stock company at the
Grand, number of travelling men
were seated in the lobby of the Tulsa
hotel, and one rather elderly gentle
man said: 81 have been on the road
travelling from coast to coast for many
years, and always attend the various
theatcrs during my leisure time, and
think | know u worthy performance
when see one. The play ! witnessed
at the Grand by the stock company
tonight is good one, 10y far better
than most OF the big city shows
charging three times the price of add
mission. Those people know how to
act, speak their lines correctly and IT
is plain to be seen they have the eX-
pericnco and long, careful training
most necessary for company to at
tempt a varied line Of good plays"
The same good reports and words
of praise are heard on ever! side, and
theatergpers of Tulsa are not slow TO
realize that at last we have n perma-
nent stock company of ladies and gem
tlemcn worthy of the splendid patron
age they are receiving.
Three thousand people packed the
Grand twice yesterday and every one
enjoyed the splendid performance Of
"Thc shepherd of the HIS, present.
ed for the first time at low prices.
The same play will be presented to-
night. Tuesday and Wednesday at
SIS. The usual 10c matinee ON Tues
day at 1880.
