The Southland’s Own Play.
“The Clansman,” Thomas
Dixon’s great drama, has been
aptly called the Southland s own
play. It is a story of Southern
people, for Southern people, and
was written by a Southern man.
It is the champion of the South,
having successfully and forcibly
answered “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,
which favored the North. “The
Clansman” has served a far
greater purpose and has accom
plished much more than the oth
er play, however, for it has at
tained success and popularity in
every part of the United States
while “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” has
always been confined to limited
territory.
“The Clansman,” as is gener
ally known, is a dramatization
of Air. Dixon’s two most famous
and widely read books, “The
Clansman” and the “Leopard’s
Spots.”
A potent element of “The
Clansman” is the charm of the
Southern country it so faithfully
reproduces. It inculcates South
ern patriotism and all of its
characters are true types of the
people of this section as they
were forty years ago and as
they are today.
“The Clansman” will be pro
duced in Newport on Monday,
April 14 in a large canvas thea
tre with seating capacity for
over twro thousand people. A
complete production of scenery
and over 30 people are used.
This is exactly the same play
that has been seen in all the
principal cities in the South for
the past seven years and is now
being presented in the smaller
cities for the first time.

NEWBRO’S HERPICIDE
SAVES THE HAIR
And Keeps You Looking \ oung
Don’t look older than you are.
It is just as easy to look young
er. While lack of hair or poor
hair is not always an indication
of age, it is frequently accepted
as such.
A person well advanced in
years possessing a good head of
1 hair is always spoken of as
I well preserved.”
Everyone can retain beautiful,
luxuriant hair if they make the
| effort. In almost every instance
poor hair or the loss of hair may
be traced to the activity of the
dandruff germ. NewbfO’s Her
picide prevents the scale-like ac
cumulation and puts the scalp in
a perfectly healthy condition.
With the elimination of the dan
druff the hair no longer drops
out. The itching of the scalp
stops almost at once.
Newbro’s Herpicide is the
! remedy for which there are
i many substitutes, preparations
claimed to be “just as good.”
You don’t have to accept a sub
stitute. Insist upon having gen
| uine Herpicide.
i Sold and guaranteed, and your
monev back if not satisfied.

In time of kidney danger
Doan’s Kidney Pills are most
effective.
Plenty of evidence of their
worth.
i Mrs. B. F. Owens, Magness,
Ark., says: “A member of our
family complained a great deal
of a dull pain in the small of the
back. Dizzy spells were common
especially in the morning and
the kidney secretions were too
frequent in passage. Hearing of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, a box was
procured and through their use
a cure was effected. We highly
recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills.”
