Persons who suffer from Indigestion
can not expect to livelong, because they
can not eat the food required to nourish
the body and the prod.ucts of the undi
gested foods they do eat poison the

tion as soon as possible, and tho best
method of doing this Is to use tho pre
paration known as Kodol Dyspepela
Cure. It digests what you eat'and re- j
stores all the digestive organs to perfect
health. Grover's City drug store.

THEATRICAL.
The attraction at the Grand opera
housa on Friday evening will be that
record breaking succeee In the (arcs
comedy field, the Rays' big Eastern "A
Hot Old Time," which Is this season
more than duplicating its hit of last
year, when It won recognition as the
most prosperous organization of Its kind
on the road. Tho succoss of the attrac
tion Is easily explained. Not only has It
a consistent plot, a fund of humor that
Is Irresistibly contagious and a liveliness
of action that, while escaping actual
vlelence, Is both constant and comic,
but It Is entirely free from that element
of vulgarity and suggestlveness that
has handicapped so many recent pro
ductions. It was In this production
that the popular song o( this season,
"Lady," a song that Is sweeping this
country from ocean to ocean, was lirst
heard. Strong specialties are Intro
duced by Gracey and Burnett, the Glad
stone sisters. Pearls Revare, Kate Pray
