“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 welcome
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 warn
that peaceful night is coming on.

HOO-HOO CONCATENATION.
The house of Hoo Hoo held a
concatenation in the lodge room
of this city Thursday evening, at
which quite a number of visitors
were initiated into the mysteries
of the black cat order, a lumber
men’s organization, which limits
its membership to that craft,
general officers of railroad com
panies, traveling freight agents,
dealers in saw mill supplies and
newspaper men.
The new members, who rode a
very obstreperous and vicious goat
were Messrs. Austin, Roetzel
and George Griffith of the Griffith
Transfer & Lumber Company; H.
L. Wirthlin of Minturn; E. C.
Lippmann of Swifton; J. M. Gib
son, D. W. Sailor and C. W.
Muirhead of Jacksonport; J. 0.
Taylor, T. B. Stewart and W. A.
Billingsley of Newnort, and Mad
dux of Calico Rock.
Those taking part in the initia
tory work were C. M. Dickinson,
Paragould, vice regent of East
ern Arkansas, C. B. Lowry of
Marmaduke, Woods Thomas of
Watertown, Tenn., C. B. Bar
rick of St. Louis and Farley
Price of Newport.
After the completion of the
initiatory exercises, the members
repaired to Bracy’s Cafe and
there enjoyed an elegant lunch,
flavored with short talks and
funny stories. Nothing need
be said of the ability of the Hoo
Hoos to tell good stories; their
reputation has long ago been es
tablished and this fraternal
gathering of the clan was in
keeping with such precedent.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and
kidneys must be stimulated to cany 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
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 I
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the pre&encJhHM
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy,
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
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 judge. Michigan Drug Co.. Detroit. Mich.
