This movement is one which meets with my hearty approval not only for the good which can be accomplished from the money which you will pay for these seals, but for the good which will come to yourselves in feeling that you have a personal interest in the welfare of your unfortunate brothers and sisters—an interest which you can not have so long as you leave it exclusively to the state to do the kindly and generous things of life.

"I want to thank you. from the bottom of my heart," wrote C. B. Rader, of Lewisburg, W. Va., "for the wonderful double benefit I got from Electric Bitters, in curing me of both a severe case of stomach trouble and of rheumatism, from which I had been an almost helpless sufferer for ten years.

SHUBERT-MURAT THEATER

Robert Mantel 1," considered (I've legitimate' successor on 'the*Aihferi-' can stage of that distinguished line of tragedians wThich included Forrest, Kean, Mc'Cullough, the Booths andMansfield, and the only actor in this country now attempting the heavier roles of Shakespeare, and the other classical dramatists, will come to the Shubert-Murat theater, Indianapolis, Monday evening for a Christmas week's engagement in a formid&ble repertoire.

Mr Mantell's success in 'the interpretation of these powerful roles, has led William Winter, dean of American dramatic critics, to pronounce this actor the leader of the '"American stage, an opinion that has been reached independently of Mr Winter's suggestion by other critics of distinction who have carefully noted the acting of Mr. Mantell..

Mr. Mantell's leading woman this year is Miss Florence Rockwell, who, when a girl, received training in classic acting in the strict school of Richard, Mansfield with whom she became, leading woman. Miss Rockwell played a stock engagement at. the Murat last summ.ef. Other women .of note in Mr. Mantell's company are Miss Agnes Elliott. Scott, Miss Genevieve Hamper, Miss Genevieve Reynolds, and among the, men* of distinction are to be found Fritz Leiber, Guy Liridsley, Brigham Royce, Alfred Hastings and Allen Thomas,

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN* THURSDAY. DECEMBER 19, 1912

'•.

Mrs. Charles Byers, 101. N. Pratt street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I feel very grateful for the benefit I received from Doan's Kidney Pills. About three years ago I suffered intensely from pains across my back and in my kidneys. I had dizzy spells, and I was convinced that my kidneys were out of order. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box at Quigley's drug store, and I must confess that I never took another medicine that gave such satisfaction. It required the contents of only one box of Doan's Kidney Pills to effect a cure. Since then I have kept this remedy in the house, and a few doses have always relieved me when I have had a need of a kidney medicine. Other members of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pills, and in each instance the results have been satisfactory. I have previously given a public statement, telling of my experience, and at this time I gladly re-endorse Doan's Kidney Pills."

A rare time was enjoyed by twenty-four of the Boy Scouts in a camp north of town Friday night. Col. W. H. Smith, of Biloxi, Miss., sent Mr. Williamson, the scoutmaster, a two-gallon tin of the splendid big, juicy southern Oysters. A large camp kettle of them were disposed of with great relish around the blazing fire and all were glad that the Colonel remembered that northern folks are fond of southern sea-food.

The band made fine music, and the martial strains made the woods ring. In spite of the cold, the scouts insist that the campfire is the most enjoyable part of scouting. Great events are booked for the holidays.
