SOY BEANS MAKE HAY
OF SUPERIOR QUALITY

The soy bean when cut at the right
stage of growth and properly cured
makes an excellent hay of high feed
ing value that is greatly relished by

hay from other leguminous crops. soy
bean hay is equal or superior to any.
The use Of this hay as a source of

CONCERT OCT. IL

For the benefit of those who are
unfamiliar with the story OF La
Boheme, which will be given py
the Scott Grand Opera company
at the Coliseum, Davenport, Oct
II, the following synopsis VIII De
found interesting:
The libretto of ia Boheme" is
by Giasco and IlIica, and is an
adaptation of part of Myers novel
La Vie de Boheme" The music
is by Giacomo Puccini, who has
written SO many popular operas
There is another setting OF hls
libretto by Leoncayallo, but it Is
seldom given compared with the
Puccini work.
The opera was produced at the
Teatre Reggie, Turin. Feb 1. 1896,
under the direction of Toscanini,
whose wonderful conducting and
orchestra from La Scala local mu-
sic lovers had the opportunity of
hearing at the Coliseum last March.
The principal characters are a
quartet of students who defy pow
erty and the opportunities of their
landlord, who posters them for the
rent of their lodgings. Rudolph is
port. Marcel an artist, Collins
philosopher and Schaunard a
musician. They are DISCUSSING
their condition in the opening act,
and are cheered by Schuanard' S
Unexpectedly bringing in some pro-
visions. They dine and make mer-
~. and then go out, with the ex-
ception of Rudolph. Left alone, ne
hears a timid knock and finds Mimi
at the door, who occupies the apart
ment above, and needs a light for
her candle. They relate their life
stories to each other in charming
music, when the friends are heard
singing an calling outside, and Ru-
dolph and Mimi go out together to
join them at the Cafe Momus.
They are merrymaking at the cafe
in Act II when Musetta enters with
an elderly admirer. She is an old
flame of Marcel, and there is much
conviviality, after which they GO
off, leaving the old man to pay the
bill
In Act III outside the walls OF
Paris in winter time, Mimi enters
She is weak and i'll, and meeting
Marcel tells him that she and Ru-
dolph have quarreled and separ-
ated. Marcel is distressed and goes
to seek his friend, who returns and
accuses Mimi of fickleness. Musetta
also returns and quarrels with Mar
eel, but all four lovers are tenn
porarily reconciled before separat-
ing.
In Act " the friends are back in
their old lodgings, pretending tc
| make merry as of yore, but all OF
them somewhat saddened- Musetta
enters hurriedly and says that Mini
is outside, having been deserted by
her last friend, and has come bach
to die. They are shocked. Mimi is
brought in and laid on Rudolph
| bed, the friends go out one by one
and she dies in his arms.

VIII Verify Her Statements About

one, who is suffering from stomach
trouble and a rundown condition, a
good turn by getting them to take
Tanlac," declared Mrs. l.. T. Green,
$3.50 Lemp avenue, st. Louis.
81 am speaking from experience,
too, for before I began taking Tan
lac stomach trouble had, pulled me
down to such a weak, WORKOUT con-
dition that l could hardly drag
around to do my housework. l had
scarcely any appetite, was very
nervous and worried, and my sleep
was so restless it did me little
good. 1 had terrible headaches, was
dreadfully dizzy-headed, and had
awful pains across the small OF my
back. 1 felt nauseated and sick all
the time, and was about as mlser-
able as a person could be.
''TanIac was doing so much for
others decided to see if 1t wouldn
help me, too, and it proved to be the
very thing / needed. The way 1t
has rid me of my troubles is simply
surprising. Why, two bottleS nave
put me in the best of health Inc
stomach trouble has entirely dlsap-
peared, l never have an ache or
pain, and can do my housework
with ease. In fact, feel just grand
in every way, and can't praise Tan
lac enough. I will be blad to verify
this statement for anyone.
