The people have already demon strated that they would rather trust a man who is naturally honest than one who is honest only because he had to be. The Alexander Drug Co. have a firmly established reputation for square dealing and sterling honesty. When they told the people ihat Rex all Remedies are the purest and most dependable medicines that it is possible for modern science to pro duce, and that they would tell the public what each one of these 300 or more remedies contained and that they sold Rexail Remedies on their personal guarantee that they would give entire satisfaction or they would not cost the user a single cent, they were believed. Ever since this announcement the Alexander Drug Co. store has been largely patronized by people buying Rexail Remedies, all of which proves that this store has the confidence of the people and that honesty is the best policy. There is no “cure-all” among the Rexail Remedies. There are differ ent and separate medicines, each one devised for a certain human ailment or a class of ailments closely allied. For instance Rexail Dyspepsia Tab lets are recommended for the positive relief of stomach irritation, indiges tion, flatulancy and dyspepsia. They are rich in Bismuth-Subnitrate, Pepsin and Carminatives. They are prepared by special processes which perfect and enhance the great remedial value of these well-known medicinal agents. This remedy sells for 25 cents 50 cents and SI.OO per package. Every one suffering from stomach disorder should try Rexail Dyspepsia Tablets inasmuch as they cost nothing if they do not satisfy. Remember Alexander Drug Co. store is the only store in Augusta where these remedies may be ob tained, and every one in need of medi cine is urged to investigate and take advantage of the frank and generous manner in which they are sold.

The saying goes "That all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” but this expression has no cue to thea trical success, as was demonstrated when Paul Gilmore appeared behind the footlights of the Grand yesterday, matinee and night in the unbounded success, "The Call of the North.” For tiie past few season’s Mr. Gilmore lias not sustained the reputation he ac quired in "The Mummy and the Hum ming Bird,” for the simple reason that the different rc.es were not created for him. He was a disappointment rather than a failure, hut In “The Call of the North” he is given, and takes advantage of the opportunity to enact scenes, which never sprawl and fail of purpose, and characteri zations which measure human nature as well as dramatic art. The play, which is set in the com pelling atmosphere of the Canadian frontier, is well compressed, lacking the prolixity of adventitious dotal' The thread of the story is gracefully woven into a play that highly attracts, at the same time standing the test of severe, criticism. The action of the play swings from the comic to the dramatic, involving the romantic and the historic sequence In a pleas ing manner. The life of the isolated trading post is well portrayed by characterizations of the native civili zation. Mr. Gilmore as Ned Trent, the American trader, read his lines with nice enunciation, and acted with distinction. His impersonation was not only artistic, but it was com pelling. His emotional scenes were tense, but the scenes which are un der the dictates of his heart, are the ones which answer "the calls of his art." However, he parleys effectively with all the thrusts that are made at him, and his work of last evening showed wonderful artistic ability. The cast was remarkably strong, and rendered able suport. It carried the emotional and comedy situations to an artistic finesse, which means as much to a star as trimmings do to a dress. But standing out as really surpassing was the work of Miss And Every Otherc Class of Insurance Known Garol Warren uta Jv.lie Hagneau, a French Canadian, and tin* character work of Mr. James Unhurt as Mene fian, Hie Indian runner, was splendid. Hut every member of the cast was worthy of individual praise. The answer, to "The Call of the North” is, pronounced success. Mr Gilmore has made many friends, both socially and professionally, in the city, and his annual visits to Augusta are always looked forward to with pleas ure. "JJ.
