Story of Two Partners Who Set
tled Control of Business by
Poker Game,
Just as promised, the merry farce,
“A Pair of Six*s." which opened at
the Atlanta Thursday night for three
days, is chock full of fun. And just
as promised the production here is
in just as ratable hands as those
which won for the piece such a repu
tation up East
The storv is that of two business
partners who. after wrangling con
tinually, fix upon the novel method of
plaving a hand of poker to determine
which one shall run the business, the
loser being doomed to become the
house servant of the other for a year.
A pair of sixes wins, thus giving the
play a catchy name to start with. The
quarrels of the partners before the
card game and the complications that
follow when one of them is the butler
for the other furnish the amusement
and right abundant it is, too.
Oscar Figman. veteran of many a
laugh-making showy scores another
success in "A Pair of Sixes.” As the
loser and the butler he is a constant
source of mirth. He is ably assisted
by Orlando Daly, who has the role of
the other partner and who. as the
master over Butler Figman, spares no
trouble to make life miserable for the
holder of the unfortunate poker hand.
Others in the company who do
splendid work are Miss Mary Harper,
as the fiancee of the unlucky part
ner. and Miss Jane Meredith, as the
wife of the lucky jiartner. The minor
roles also are tilled acceptably.
"A Pair of Sixes” will be seen Fri
day night. Saturday matinee and Sat
urday night.

Stomach Troubles
Make People Old
If Is proven beyond a doubt that the
poison toxins from sour, decaying food
in the stomach and putrefying wastes in
the bowels cause nearly all the dis
eases we have. Not only that, hut it
is the direct cause of "getting old” and
the wasting away of the vital organs
The food we eat must be digested—if
not it sours and decays and makes the
poisons that destroy health and shorten
life. A little Digestit taken after every
meal will digest the food and keen it
from souring-it will turn the food Into
life-giving nourishment and prevent the
formation of the poisons that come from
sour food. Then the wastes must be
worked off—If they are allowed to ac
cumulate in the bowels the poisons form
and wreck the whole system. The best
thing to keep the bowels open and make
the liver act regularly is a liquid called
Digestit Elixir—It is made to be used
with the Digestit treatment, which is
being used so much to protect the
health and ward off old age; the genu
ine Digestit has the signature of W. L.
Brown on the package You can get
both of these preparations from your
druggist or from W. L. Brown. New Or
