and the gentle, southing embrocation.
"Mother's Friend," is designed to so

There Is scarcely a well-stocked drug

In nearly every town and village is a

Words of enthusiastic praise were
heard on all sides from the large
and very appreciative audience which
greeted the beautiful and artistic
production of "Peg O' My Heart" at
the Grand Opera House Tuesday
evening. Many declared this the
best show that has appeared in Bren-
ham for years, and that first-class
dramatic productions are fully ap-
preciateij here was evidenced by the
full house, many of the spectators
coming from Burton, Chappfell Hill,
Somerville, Lyons, Kenney and oth-
er neighboring towns.
The entire atmosphere of the play
is sweet and tender, a perfect blend-
ing of pathos and humor, and
breathes in every line the love of the
Irish for the land of Erin. The
production is splendidly written,
and is full of brilliant wit, inter-
spersed with most pathetic scene.
Miss Marian Dentler in the title
role is charming. When she step-
ped on the stage she walked right
Into the hearts of the audience, and
stayed there. Her Irish brogu§ was
delightful, perfectly natural, and not
the least bit overdrawn, as is so of-
ten the case with Irish character ac-
tresses. As a warm-hearted little
Lrish lassie, taken suddenly from a
wandering life of poverty in Ameri-
ca into the home of aristocratic Eng-
lish relations, she has full opportu-
nity for the display of her wonder-
ful dramatic talents. In addition
to her unusual dramatic ability, she
is just about the prettiest little girl
that ever stepped on the local stage,
and looked her part to perfection.
The severest dramatic critics could
not fail to accord her the sinceres#
admiration and praise.
The others members of the cast
all did excellent work, and each con-
tributed to a splendid, well-balanced
production. L. York Erskine as
Alarlc Chichester, Harold West as
Jerry, and Miss Helen Raftery as an
aristocratic English girl, deserve
special mention for very clever in-
terpretations of their roles.
More productions like "Peg 0'
My Heart," would tend to elevate the
drama, for it is indeed a "Comedy
of Youth", pure and sweet the love
story of an impulsive young Irish
girl with all the lovable character-
istics of her race. She is irresisti-
ble and her charming personality
domiKates the play. It is a play for
all ages, old and young enjoy Its de-
lightful humor. No play presented
in Brenham for years has made a
more favorable impression.
Girls! Try It! Your Hair Gets Soft,
Fluffy and Luxuriant at Once.
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and 1b radiant
with life; has an incomparable soft-
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderlne.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it Imme-
diately dissolved every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nlie,
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf
robs the hair of its luster, Its
strength and its very life, and If not
overcome it ^produces a feverishness
and itching of the scalp; the hair
roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry .scraggy or
too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderlne at any drug
store or toilet counter; 1 apply a lit-
tle as directed and ten minutes af-
ter you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lu'strous, beautiful
hair and lots of it—no dandruff—
no itching scalp and no more fall-
ing hair—you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually—why not
now?—Adv. It.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop Using Dangerous Drug, before It
Salivates You! It's Horrible.
Are You A
GoodObserver?
The little things overlooked by you afford opportunities for your
opponents in the game of life.
Can you see dearly and without strain? If you wear glasses are
they secure? You can't succeed with poor eyesight or improperly
adjusted, insecure glasses.
EDW. T. JENISON
You're bilions, sluggish, constipat-
ed and believe you need vile, danger-
ous calomel to start your liver and
clean your bowels.
Here's my guaranty! Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of Dod-
son's Liver Tone and take a spoon-
ful tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you right up
better than calomel and without
griping or making you sick I want
you to go back to the store and get
your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose a day's work.
Take a spoonful of harmless, vege-
table Dodson's Liver.Tone tonight
and wake up feeling great. It's per-
fectly harmless, so give it to your
children any time. It can't salivate,
so let them eat anythlng.afterwards.

COST COUNTY $389.40
TO CARE FOR ITS POOR
DURING LAST QUARTER
It cost the taxpayers of Washing-
ton county $388.40 to care for nfteen
paupers at the county farm eight miles
northwest of Brenham on New Year's
creek, during the last quarter, accord-
ing to the report made by Manager
William Stelter.
The personnel of the inmates -on
the county farm is made up of one
white woman, six white men, five ne-
gro men and three negro women, all
of whom are dependents upon the
charity of the taxpayers.
The manager of the farm is allowed
$9 per head per month for keeping
the county's paupers and insane until
accommodations for the latter can be
made in the State insane asylum.
The county farm consists of about
350 acres of good land.
FELSCHER'S MATTRESS
FACTORY TOTAL LOSS
FROM TUESDAY FIRE
The first disastrous fire of the New
Year occurred at 4:30 o'clock Tues-
day afternoon when the Felcher mat-
tress factory and its contents was
complete destroyed, entailing a total
loss of about $2,000.
Just what started the fire is not
known, but it sprang up so quickly
that it was impossible for the fire
department to render service to the
building and contents, notwithstand-
ing the alarm was answered in post
haste.
The Felscher factory was located
at 110 Rippetoe street. The build-
ing was qf frame# and was one and
a half story structure. Due to the
inflammable materials used in the
manufacture of mattresses, cotton
and excelsior, Mr. Felcher had never
been able to get an Insurance com-
pany to take the risk and he him-
self must bear the whole loss.
In addition to the up-to-date mat-
tress machinery with which the fac-
tory waB well equipped the building
contained four bales of cotton, con-
siderable lint cotton, much excelsior
and ticking and a small job print-
ing outfit consisting of a job press,
sixty fonts of type and an electric
motor.
Nothing was saved. The flames
lapped up everything in sight in less
than thirty minutes, sending a cloud
of black smoke tipward that was
swept to the northeast by a stiff
breeze.
Mr. Felcher, the proprietor, stat-
ed to Banner-Press < Wednesday
morning that he would re-open for
business within live days. He has a
large patronage over the state which
has made the business of making
mattresses in Brenham most profi-
table to the manufacturer and to
the ,city as well. Mr. Felcher man-
ufactures high-grade mattresses as
well as the cheaper grades and the
customers he has been serving
throughout Texas would be sorely
disappointed if he did not reubild
and re-establish the business.
Doi^ Pay More
Seven pounds coffee, $1. The same
grade I have been using in my ho-
tel a number of years; also have
coffee I can sell at eight pounds for
$1; five gallons best grade kerosene
oif; 50 cents. Albert Felscher, 110
Rippetoe Street.—Adv. 267 d3t w-tf
Aug. Giese of Carmine was in Bren-
ham Wednesday morning.
