The organs of digestion, assimila~
ton and elimination-the stomach,
liver and bowels--are closely allied,
and the proper action of any of these
organs is largely dependent upon the
correct functioning of all the others,
whipping your liver into action
with calornel or forcing your bowels
with irritating la1atives or strong
nathartics Is a great mistake. A bet
Ger, safer plan is strengthening and
toning the whole digestive and elimina-
tive system. with Natures Remedy

immediate relief, but genuine and LAST
ing benefit. 1t acts on the stomach,
liver, bowels and kidneys, improves
digestion and assimilation, overcomes
biiiousness, corrects constipation and
quickly relieves sick headache.
Get your system thoroughly cleansed
and purified for once; stomach, liver
and bowels working together in Wig
orous harmony, and you will not have
to take medicine every day--just take
one Mr. Tablet occasionally to keep
your system in good condition and al

easier and cheaper to keep well than
1t Is to get well.

an alleged comedy which recently APP
peared at the New Lyric, still is miss
ing. He is said by Mike O'Brien, stage
manager and other members of the
company to have deserted the company

with his wife departed for parts I'M

Burke or ascertain his destination have
proven futile.
Members of the company assert that
Burke had a considerable sum Of mon
ey, receipts of the show before it closed,
and that he left them without funds
due them for back salaries and per-
sonal loans. Local stage employees and
actors unions have extended aid to the
actors.
1t was enormously reported Saturday
that Burke had fled with O'Brien's wife
Mr.. O'Brien vigorously denies that he
made any such report to the police and
said he clearly made the report that
