VICTIMS OF
INFLUENZA
Those Who Are Weak
and Rundown Easy
Prey to Widespread
Epidemic
Commonsense Way to Avoid a
Threatening Public Danger

Doctors agree that people who are
weak and rundown are the earliest
victims of the influenza epidemic,
whose ravages are assuming serious
proportions in New England and
New York
If you find yourself tired, weak or
losing flesh this warning should be
needed promptly. You are in real
and very great danger because the
germ of this epidemic is specially
contagious and in your weakened
condition should you come in con-
tact with it you would fall an easy
victim.
The commonsense preventive is to
begin taking Father Johns Medicine
at once because the pure food ele-
ments of which this old-fashioned,
wholesome body-builder is made are
easily taken up by the system and
turned into vital, resisting energy;
giving you fighting strength to ward
off the influenza germ.
Remember, Father Johns Medi-
cine is not a stimulant. 1t is guar
anteed free from alcohol or dan
gerous drugs and does it's work sim
ply and effectively through the
wholesome food elements which it
contains.

Those who have a technical knowl-

the effect of naturalness which causes

Warmer is one of the best farces that
was ever seen in this city"
The engagement of Fair and
Warmer" here is considered a credit
by the local management in its efforts
to bring the best of the theatrical
output to the city. 1t is due. too to
the insistent demands that have been
made upon Selwyn and Company for
more than a year to make it possible
for theater patrons in the country
who have not thus far had an oppor-
tunity of seeing the farce. to do So
1t is said to be no exaggeration to
say that there was never a perform
ance of Fair and Warmer" given in
either New York or Chicago at which
there was not at least one patron
from an outside city who did not
make personal request of the manage
ment that at some time in the future
they would be sure to send it to their
city"

She cannot tell why she is attracted
to him more than any man she has

sympathy goes out to "Maxfield Grey"

to himself. They spend many wonder

many actors and actresses do not
get the scredit that is their due, or
enhance their regulations by succeed
ing in straight parts. You do not
have to mention any names to prove
this is true. Just think of the
eminent actors and actresses who
have confined themselves to acting
straight leads, or star roles, and re-
fleet on what the average person
thinks apd says of them--that is the
answer }

1t is only small part of life, a means

starve your own natural emotions by
