“SWEET CLOVER. ”
The scenic production given
“Sweet Clover” is one of the
most elaborate ever taken on
tour and requires a specially con
structed car for its transporta
tion. Ten of the latest improved
calcium lamps for stage lighting
are also carried to lend realism
to the sunset, moonshine, fire
light and tableaux effects with
which the play abounds.
The first act is an exterior and
represents “Farmer Holcombe’s”
pretty Connecticut home with its
beautiful flowers and wide
spreading oaks which shelter the
dooryard and extend a vfodcome
to the visitors of the Holcombe
farm. The sun has set leaving a
crimson glow in the horizon, the
tinkle of the cow bells grow dim,
crickets chirp and fireflies warr
that peaceful night is coming on.

THE MINISTER’S SON.
A most deserving and credit
table troupe presented “The
Minister’s Son,” at the opera
house Thursday evening to a
good house on the lower floor.
The gallery gods were aware of
the nature of the play to be pre
sented and were conspicious by
their absence.
The drama is clever and so
were the people who took part,
but W. B. Patton as a star rises
above the level of his associates
as the snow capped peak over
the mountain foot hills. He is
an actor wno demonstrates tne
force of the manner in which a
thing is said rather than what is
said. He mixes pathos and hu
mor adroitly and changes tears
into mirth. Only an extended
criticism could do justice to Mr.
Patton’s unusual gifts and we
have not the time. Let us con
clude hoping that he may come
again.

' ment was incorrect, giving the
facts in the case and demanding
a retraction. Just what passed
over the phone is not known,
but officers of the Mercantile

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the fl
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned m
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and f
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities,
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The B [
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood ^B
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
of the one poisons the tissues, and the la.ck of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’sTonicCapsules have been held in highesW^Vs*'
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels anil enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, j
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same i
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own judgre. Michigran Drug- Co.. Detroit. Mich.
