A Laughter, Digestion And Health An eminent Russian physician has stated his opinion that laughter 1b one of the best means known , to science for the -." correction of Dyspepsia, stomach and nervous diseases. Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic is like the memory of running brooks and shady glens to the famishing and dying man lost in the desert. If one could but know all the causes, reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a half-heart-ed-neea of a dyspeptic's gaiety. There is a ceaseless call for appetite, food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic, coupled with a morose, moody belief and knowledge that such a call is mockery and if indulged In will bring discomfort, pain and regret. Perhaps if it were understood that the digestive system, including month, throat and alimentary canal, embracing as it does the stomach, is composed of membraneous tissue filled with millions of small nerves, which control added millions of little mouths or suckers. . Perhaps if . this were known men could more comprehensively understand that to disarrange snch a system would mean indeed intense physical pain. '. Now suppose that this alimentary canal is a mass of worn-out, debilitat- , ed nerves and mouths, each suffering excruciating physical pain and discomfort, and suppose such a canal filled with the fumes and foul odors and decayed food from the last meal, and one has a slight idea as to the , lack of laughter of a dyspeptic. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of -the highest digestive ingredientsone grain of a single ingredient, being capable of digesting 3.000 grains of food relieves the alimentary caaal of Its onerous duties, assists it' along Its entire length (SO feet) to perform its routine. Imparts strength' and buoyancy to the stomach and gives back to the blood a strong, healthy, nourishment. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natural adjuncts to digestion. They do not falsely stimulate an already weakened machine, but build up where building is needed and remove where removal is necessary. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have nothing to conceal. Here is what they are made of: Hydrastis, golden seal, lactose and aseptic pepsin. ' Forty thousand physicians in America and Canada use and prescribe them. They should be used after every hearty meal whether one is a dyspeptic or not Every druggist carries them; price 50c. Send us your name and address and we will send you a sample pack age free.

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. . GENNETT. Thursday, Jan. 14 "Father and the Boys. . Friday, Jan. 15 "Girls." Monday, Jan. 18 Mme. Marchesi. NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville.

The New Phillips. Tonight's performance at the New Phillips closes the bill for the first half of this week, and tomorrow afternoon an entirely new program will be pre sented. The work of the Bijou Comedy Trio still draws good audiences and profuse applause. New songs at each per formance go to make this act partic uiariy agreeanie ana in a way a new one each evening. Those who delight in hearing pleasant singing should not miss this opportunity of hearing the Sailor Boys. Claude Thardo's comedy singing and acting is of the first order and takes well with the audiences. His running of the names of prominent local persons and what they have done meets with loud hand claps from the hearers. Mayor Schillinger, Rudolph Leeds, Bennett Gordon and George Gay have come In for praise at Thardo's wit. Miss Kitty Faye with her dramatic piece "The Prairie Queen" does some good acting, both of the "horrible" sort and the comic. The other members of her company make admirable as sistants to the little woman's endea vors. Tomorrow will see the new bill put on, which includes several featured acts that are meeting with good suc cess this season. Hoyt and McDon ald do some excellent singing in their comedy playlet and the rendition of "Traumeri" is said to be especially pleasing. Hoyt has a well modulated barytone voice and his handling of it makes his song work worth hearing. Violin playing to the accompaniment of a talking machine is a part of the act and is a new feature in vaudeville circles. Liable and Company (that company means Liable' s wife) are curiosities after a fashion. The two of them are probably the smallest vaudeville team now on the American stage. The Great Brandon Company pre sent a little dramatic act that has fresh features to It and seems more like a regular show than a vaudeville act. Their work throughout their piece is considered to be of the best on any circuit in the middle west. Mm. Marchesi. Mme. Blanche Marchesi will be the attraction at the Gennett theater. Jan. 18. A fact that must, be borne in mind by the lover of rriusic who goes to hear Mme. Blanche Marchesi, the soprano, next Sunday afternoon at the Metropolitan, is the unique place that Mme. Marchesi occupies among the famous singers. She is thoroughly cosmopolitan in that she was born in Frankfort-on-the-Main, educated in France, married to an Italian nobleman, and now resides in London, where she is one of the society favorites of the British metropolis. Fraulein Schoen-Rene, when asked regarding the place that Mme. Marchesi occupies in the world of music said: "The great fact to be kept before one in listening to the singing of Mme Marchesi is the thorough manner in which she stands for the Garcia method of teaching, of which her mother, the famous Mathilde, has stood for so long as one of the most illuminating exponents. Mme. Blanche is not blessed with the same Heaven sent voice that Mme. Melba possesses, but she has been able to become a wonderful singer by taking what material.she had and lavishing hard work and the cumulative experience of her mother upon it as well as that of the entire group of Garcia teachers. "Mme. Marchesi is a delightful woman to meet. She is thoroughly at home in the London social world as she is in that of Berling or Paris. At many of the most aristocratic affairs held in the continental capitals Mme. Marchesi has been a prominent figure. "But aside from her social diversions she is an all round woman, who is whole-souledly an artist. In " her

home she is surrounded with the

paintings of the best modern workers which she has not had to buy because she has received them on account of the esteem, in which she is held by the artist. Culture is in the atmosphere of every room and no matter what financial rank the visitor holds, the open sesame to Mme. Marchesl's house at all times is "are you an artist or not?" "I remember the first time I had the privilege of hearing Mme. Marchesi. It was at a concert In which Sybil Sanderson, the noted soprano was ap pearing for thp sake of charity. She was to have sung three songs, but she became ill and was forced to retire with two songs unsung. Mme. Marches! was determined that the program should be carried out completely and she sprang into the breach and sang superbly much to the surprise of those who did not know what her voice was capable of. "Girls." The coming of "Girls," the delightful comedy that Sam S. and Lee Shubert have sent on tour direct from Its long run at Daly's Broadway theater, New York and which comes to the Gennett on Jan. 15 will be anxiously awaited by local theatergoers who are familiar with the great record made in the metropolis. "Girls" is just what could be expected from the pen of the versatile and surprising, Clyde Fitch. This dainty exploitation of feminine foibles has struck a gait that means a long life, because it reflects an amusingly exaggerated phase of life which Is keenly appreciated even by the members of the sex so artlsti cally caricatured. As was to have been expected, the novelty promised when the name of Fitch was mention ed, measured fully tip to the standard of that author's surprises and the studio scene in which the bachelor girls retire to the music of the fret ful steam pipe is as refreshing fcnd clean a laugh as Broadway has seen in years. Dramatic critics were loud in their praise of both play, produc tion and presenting company and all seemed to be of the same opinion that there is nothing so refreshing after a hard day's work as to spend an evening with "Girls," and listen to the sparkling dialogue of the "man-haters" and to witnes3 the innocent trouble they succeed in making for themselves. "Father and the Boys." Charles Frohman presents W H. Crane, at the Gennett theater on Thursday, Jan. H in George Ade's play, "Father and the Boys." the most emphatic success which Mr. Crane has had in years and which promises to surpass even "David Harum" in popularity. In this play Mr. Ade tells a jovial clean and wholesome boyish story with the ut most spirit, with racy picturesque dl alogue and with the little satirical touches which are so much a part of his charm. The piece occasionally goes below the surface, for all its mirth, and is human and appealing. Mr. Crane as the man who has made his "pile" in the city, but who spent his boyhood in the country, and who still clings to his country habits, only to be told by his college-bred boys that he is hopelessly behind the times, is immense, particularly when he demonstrates his ability to lead the "procession" to such an extent that the boys are unable to either hold him back or keep up with him. It is a real Crane part, and the comedian enriches it wonderfully with his mellow art and his delightful personality. "Father and the Boys will be splendidly produced and Mr. Crane will have an excellent supporting company, the same that appeared with him during the four months' run of the piece at the Empire Theater, New York. "Now, Archie," said the teacher encouragingly, "what have you made up your mind to do best for yourself this year?"

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn't any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ? Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Red Banks, Miss. M Words are inadequate to express what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lias done for me. I suffered from a female disease and weakness which the doctors said was caused by a fibroid tumor, and 1 commenced to think there was no help for me. Lydia K. Pinkham's Veiretable Compound made me a well woman after all other means had failed. Sly friends are all asking- what has helped me so much, and I gladly recommend Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Willie Edwards. Hamnstead, Maryland. Before taking Lydia E. Plnkham'a Vegetable Compound I was weak and nervous, and could not be on my feet half a day without suffering. The doctors told me 1 never would be well without an operation, but Lydia K. Plnkham'a Vegetable Compound lias done more for me tasa all the doctors, and 1 hope this valuable medicine may come Into the hands of many more suffering women. Mrs. Joseph U. Iandy. We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to us that these letters are not genuine.and truthful or that either of these women were paid in any wav for their testimonials, or that the letters are published witViout their permission, or that the original letter from each did not come to us entirely unsolicited. - What more proof can any one ask ?

For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to Its credit. -jaw Mn. Pinkbam invites all sick women Iwjr to write her for advice. ' She has guided thousands to health free bf charge.
