% 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.

Popularity.
Established for nearly a cen

than 500,000 persons in the west
and southwest, the Twice-a-Week
Republic of St. Louis can justly
lay claim to that enviable dis
tinction, “Favorite Home Pa
per.”
It is great because it has al
ways aimed to inform, instruct
and entertain its readers on all
matters of public and home in
terest. In 1904 it will be espe
cially interesting and valuable.
Here are some reasons why you
should subscribe for it:
This is campaign year and you
will want to be informed of the
movements of party leaders, -re
ports of the great national and
state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
election, etc.
You will want to know all
about the World’s Fair, to be
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm
visitor, a regular supplement of
the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
of activity, and through the un
surpassed news and special ser
vice of the twice-a-week Repub
lic you will not be disappointed.
In short sketches, choice bits
of fiction, articles of interest to
women, children and household
suggestions the Twice-a-Week
Republic easily leads among the
weeklies of the great West.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can-B
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the I
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 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 I
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be-1
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 scavengerB
and the food-provider of every cell of the body. ff:
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 presen«B
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them. fe
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteea^B
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism^
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, 1Jcurvj!^*~
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles asll
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of macjB
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
our risk and be your own iudire. Michigan Drue- Co.. Detroit. Mich.
