PARK THEATRE.
'WAY DOWN EA^T— ' THURSDAY APRIL,

If we know a thing is artificial, even
if put stage for our pleasure,
we take more or less delight in it, but
ever with the consciousness that it is
artificial but 'Way Down East brings
tears naturally, and stirs up every
natnral and noble emotion without
•train, and one feels his better nature
made purer, sweeter and better for
witnessing this beautiful and truthful
portrayal of life. 'Way Down East
will be presented for the first time in
this City at Park Theatre on Thursday.

Letter to •fas. >l. (iitllircnlh.
Bntler, I'a.
Dear Sir: You know a good paint
when you see it. Devoe lead and zinc
is the paint that costs half as much as
lead and oil because it weftrs twice as
long.
But it looks no better when first put
on.
You must wait a little and see the
difference.
The first summer takes off tiie gl'»ss
of lead and oil; the second summer it
chalks; the third it wants repainting.
It probably spots in a month or six
weeks: the gloss goes off in spots or in
sections.
Devoe lead and zinc even holds its
t;loss longer than lead and oil wears.
The loss of gloss marks the beginning of
wear, but it kecpH out water ten years,
in favorable conditions.
Painters think three years is enough.
It is, for lead and oil.
Yours truly,
7(1 F. W. DEVOK & Co.

Journal. Its attractive appearance
marks a distinct advance in commercial
literature. The cover design is printed
in two colors, and the illustrations
throughout ar« exceptionally artistic.
But what will prove of most practical
interest and importance is the ttooli's
story of styles and prices, the impressive
idea it gives of the season's newest and
choicest, and where to get that kind 'at
money-saving prices. Boggs & Buhl's
Spring assortments are the Largest in the
stores history, and indicate strict atten
tion to the smart styles which people of
taste appreciate.
Their mail order service is elaborately
complete, and every facility provided

Tour to the Yellowstone Park.
The reduced rates authorized by the
transcontinental railroads on account
of the Annual Convention of the Na
tional Educational Association, to be
held in Minneapolis, July 7to 11, 1902,
have enabled the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to offer to those contemplating
attendance at this Convention an op
portunity, under the direction of its
popular Personally-Conducted Tourist
System, not only of visiting tne l>eauti
ful city in which the Convention is to
be held, and participating in the de
liberations of the Convention, but alsu
of visiting the Yellowstone National
Park, at ai/st impossible under ordinary
conditions of travel.
The Veil wstone Park is never inort
attractive lhan during the month ol
Jnlv, and t .> tourists under the care ol
the Pennsylvania Railroad will bt
afforded lh- fullest opportunity of vi.it,
it<g all it - niicjue attractions, including
the Mmini th Hot Springs, the Geyser;
the 1 canti >il Lake, and the Grant
Canon of the Yellowstone.
The tour will leave New York am'
Philadelphia, Saturday, .July 5, and re
tarn Sunday, July 20. Round trij
tickets, covering all necessary expense'
for the entire trip, including one bertl
in Pullman sleep :r, will be sold at rat*
of $l5O from all points on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad east of Pittsburg
Wheji two persons occupy one berth
the rate will be $142 for each person
Rates from Pittsburg will be $5 lesi
than above
Tourists will use a special train ovei
the entire trip, with the exception ol
the six days devoted to the tour of tie

This special train will consist of a Pull
man dining car, sleeping cars and ai
'observation car, all of the highest grad<
and the passengers will find them fully
as comfortable and convenient as fin
best hotels. During the three days ai
the Convention in Minneapolis. July 1
to 9, inclusive, this palatial train wil
be at the command of the tourists
obviating the necessity of securing ac
commodatious at hotels.
The beauties of tbe Yellowstone Na
tional Park", most aptly termed Nature'f
Wonderland, must be seen to be apple
ciated. From the top of the stages in
which the tour of the Park is made,
there is spread out before the traveler n
constantly changing panorama ol
wonders snow-crowned mountains
tumbling and tossing rivers; Yelllow
stone Lake, like a great blue sea nestled
amongst the beetling crags, at an alti
tude above that of the summit of Mt.
Washington; the curious natural spring*
where chemical deposits glisten fa th<
sun's rays with all tbe colors of tlx
rainbow; and the Geysers, ever present
iug a scene of varied charm and awe
inspiring wonder.
The accommodations en this tour will
necessarily be limited, and intending

When I Say That
The Davis Sewing Machine leads all

other machine is so simple' 1 mean
thai no other machine is so finely made!
And that no other machine is so easily
run! The "Davis" is polished like a
watch; it will not kill a woman to run
it; it will do more than double the

FOES IN AMBUSH. .
i
THE HIDDEN PESOS OF THE
PAST AND PRESENT.
When the Puritan pawed through the
forests of New England, he realized that
his greatest danger was from hidden
foes. Therefore, he was armed and
vigilant. The enemiea a man can eee
he can fight, but the enemy that skulks
In darkness unseen, be he ever ao weak,
is to be dreaded by reason of his In
visibility.
The foes that threaten the life to-day
are all ambushed. There is no fear of
the "arrow that flieth by day," for the
day of the arrow is past and gone. But
the "pestilence that walketh in dark
ness," is still a thing of terror, because
it strikes suddenly from ambush.
Let the word pestilence be only whie-
pered anr] fear grip# the heart. Home*
are forsaken. People flock to the rail
roads frantic to escape from the infected
city. But shout a warning against dys
pepsia and who is alarmed? Nobody.
Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is respqpsiblc for more deaths an
nually in the United States than pesti
lence could probably claim in a decade.
rill'. WKAK SHOT
of the modern man is his stomach. No
man can be stronger than his stomach
because the stomach is in effect the vital
centre of the body. Where does the
heart get its nourishment? From the
itomach. Where is the nourishment
prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and
other organs? All ure nourished from
the stomach. Stop putting food into the
itouiach and In time the heart stops beat
ing. We uiust eat to live. Everybody
knows that. They understand that the
man that isn't fed starves. But what they
don't seem to understand is that starva
tion is just as sure when the man is fed,
if by reason of disease the stomach cannot
convert the food it receives into nutri
tion for the t>ody and its several organs.
The sign of starvation is emaciation,
loss of flesli. That's the sign of dyspep
sia and weak stomach also. The dys
peptic eats enough but the itomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
fail to extract the nourishment from the
food and so the body grows lean and the
' strength of the body is undermined.
DYSPEPSIA AND DKGKNKRACY.
There is a certain physical degeneracy
which results front dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished it grows weak,
and as the IXKIV is only a general name
for the sum of its organs aud members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
the liver and kidneys and other organs
sre involved in the same "weakness."
When diseases of the stomach and its
allied orgtuis are cured these dependent
weaknesses are cured also.

very obstinate case of dyspepsia," writes

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.
All physical strength mUst com* from
food after it bu been received lito the
stomach and properly digested and
assimilated. Medicine cannot make
strength. There is only one source of
strength and that is food converted into
nutrition. There are two chief caosM
of physical weakness; on* insufficient
food, the other the inability of the stom
ach and its allied organs to digest and
assimilate the food eaten. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is not offered
as a substitute for food, but as a medicine
which enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, and so gives the body
the strength which comes from food alone.
When the weak stomach is suds
strong sgain by the use of "Golden Med
ical Discovery" the food it receives is
perfectly digested and assimilated, and
the body in all its parts and organs is
restored to strength with tbt stomach.
The lost flesh is regsined and Um body
is built up with sound, solid flash instean
of flabby fat.
But as the body is but a name for tke
sum of its organs and members, so
strength for the body means atreagth
for each organ of the body, and when
the stomach is made strong, strength is
given to the "weak" heart, "wash *
lungs and other weak organs.
Accept no substitute for n Golden Med
ical Discovery," there is no other medi
cine " Just as good " for the cure of dis
eases of the stomach and other orgasa ot
digestion and nutrition.
