w * - Ja Will you take chances with a cold, and risk ca- /'
p arrhal trouble? Or will you take Peruna and rid <sj|^
That's a question you must answer often this winter,
tM* Just remember, every cold that "gets well" of itself leaves \
traces of its visit. Sometimes these get to be serious. Often they ■
manifest themselves in catarrh of the stomach and intestines.
PERUNA Conquers Catarrh
Every cold is a possible start; every attack of indigestion may leave catarrh. The fl
medicine that overcomes the cold and sets the digestion to rights may also overcome the I
catarrh—if it is Peruna. This threefold usefulness distinguishes this remedy above all I
others. Its effectiveness is proved by the evidence of thousands, gathered in our expe- \
rience of forty-five years, and it has helped so many you may reasonably 1
expect it to help you.
In either liquid or tablet form, whichever fits your needs. iffE
Manalin, the ideal laxative and liver tonic, can be taken tl V
with Peruna. In its tablet form it is delicious to the taste,
convenient, and without unpleasant effect. 10c and 25c.

Reconstruction Scenes in
"The Birth of a Nation"
The scenes of Reconstruction days in
the South shown in 13. \V. Griffith's
spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation," are
of a great historical value. Some of the
most Interesting are those showing the
sessions of the South Carolina Legisla
ture when that body was controlled by
negroes. In the House there were
seventy-eight colored members with
only forty-six whites, and of those
thirty-two were carpetbaggers and
scalawags. It was as if society was
turned upside down. In place of the
control of the old aristocratic states
men, was the rule of the most ignorant
democracy that mankind ever wit
nessed. For a time barbarism had
overcome civilization by the force of
numbers. The slave was rioting in the
halls of his former masters.
L.IL.L.IAN GISH
James S. Pike, a prominent aboli
tionist, and therefore an unprejudiced
eye-witness, wrote of those days in his
valuable work, "The Prostrate State;
South Carolina Under Negro Govern
ment:'
"The Governor is a South Carolina
white man. The Lieutenant-Governor,
the president of the Senate, the speaker
of the House, the State Treasurer are
all of the sable tint. The civilized and
educated white race was underfoot,
prostrate and powerless, and the Hack
barbarian reigned in its stead.
"At some of the desks sit colored
men, whose type it would be hard to
find outside of Congo; whose costumes,
visages, attitudes and expressions only
betit the forecastle of a buccaneer."
The result wa<i the organization of
the ICu Klux Klan and the redemption
of the South from the horrors of mis
rule. This picture of history is one of
the most vivid in "The Birth of a Na
tion."
About the same time General Ulysses
S. Grant, who had made an official visit
to South Carolina, wrote in his report
to President Johnson:
"The presence of black troops, lately
slaves, demoralizes labor. The late
slave seemed imbued with the idea that
the property of his late master belongs
to him, or at least should have no pro
tection from the colored soldier."

"Busy Izzy."

ary 15-16-17—"The Birth of a Na
tion."
MAJ USTlC—Vaudeville.
COLONIAL,—"The Mischief Maker."
REGENT—"A Son of Erin."
VICTORIA—"The Truant Soul."
The 191" edition of the merry musi
cal comedy, "Busy Izzy," with George
Sidney and an exceptionally
"Busy large cast, headed by the charm
lacy" ing comedienne. Miss Carrie
Webber, comes to the Orpheum
to-morrow, matinee and night. With a
well-developed plot to guiue the action
of its manitold merriment, it Is reputed
to possess such novelty of scenes, and
incidents, as would naturally enhance
the value of its character as an enter
tainment which is novel in the extreme.
Evidently those who have the financial
interests of "Busy Izzy" at heart have
not overlooked the necessity for pro
viding a pretty girl contingent of play
ers and singers.
"The Innocent Sinner," the four-act
drama which comes to the Orpheum
Saturday, matinee and
j "The night, with Julia Dean and
I Innocent a splendid cast, was writ-
Sinner" ten by Oliver D. Bailey and
Joseph Noel upon the Fed
eral findings ot the greatest blackmail
plot ever known. The characters in
volved in the play are real and the
situations are true. The love of a
j mother for her daughter is the central
theme of a play winch abounds in ac
tion, interest and incidents that might
seem sensational if they were not part
and parcel of an actual case of nation
wide celebrity. Miss Dean, recognized
as one of the foremost emotional ac
tresses of to-day, has a role which
gives full scope to her great talent.
Frederick Truesdell, Thuriow Bergen,
Kate lslancke, Edwin Holt, John F.
Webber, Franklin George and other
eminent players are included In the
company.
A new bill of vaudeville, that Is brim
ful of comedy, opened a three-day en
gagement at the Majestic
at the Theater, yesterday afternoon,
Mnjeatlc and has for its headline!'
"The Midnight Follies," a
musical extravaganza that turnishes a
half hour of solid enjoyment. All the
elements that go to make an attrac
tion of this kind a success are found in
this musical comedy. There is an ex
cellent comedian in the act, whose
mere appearance is good for a hearty
laugh, while the girls are pretty and
sing in pleasing fashion. Surrounding
this attraction are: Tom and Stacia
Moore, in comedy, songs and nonsense;
Earl and Curtis, presenting a laugh
able comedy skit entitled, "The Drum
mer and the Girl;" Fields and Birnie,
who entertain on the piano and also
introduce a number of comedy songs,
and lloeder and Dean, in a good acro
batic turn.
" 'The Truant Soul' was the most dif
ficult work I have ever undertaken,"
declared Henry B.
"The Truant Soul" Walthall, In dis
ot the Victoria cussing his great
Essanay seven
| part production now being shown at
the Victoria. That it should be at the
same time my best work is the happiest
Incident of my life."
In this gripping drama, from the pen I
of the noted novelist, Victor Rousseau,
Henry B. Walthall has eclipsed his po
sition as a foremost photoplay actor in i
the world. As the famous surgeon of
the novel, harrassed by Humanity's
hidden menace, he has revealed a super- '
art which has bewildered his millions i
of followers.
Admission for to-day: 15 cents for '
first floor and 10 cents for balcony seats.
