The most frequent cause of disor- dered digestion is sluggish action "of the liver, kidneys and bowels. The whole alimentary canal, through which the food passes on its way through the body, becomes choked and clogged, and the system is pols oned and diseased.

One of 'the Best Musical Productions Ever Seen Here! L For a big musical production jike "Katinka" to play two nights in Kingston shows how highly it is re- garded as-a show town. Kingston has assuredly graduated from the ranks of the one-night,stands when it can regularly give the big produc- tions full houses for two anc 'hree performances. Mast night at the Grand, "Katinka't was witnessed by a very large and appreciative audi- ence. This musical play of Hammer- stein's is one 'of the seasua « very best. It is deliciously tunefui. Its musical numbers are all of merit, 1t has sparkling comedy and clever dancing. The settings are in a Rus- sian village, § Persidn town and a Paris café,' and thé story Is of Ka- tinka, a Russian mdiden forced in- to marriage with an ekierly states- man, Boris. Katinka is stolen away by her lover Ivan, and his American friend, who proceed to Persia in search of Boris' first wife, who is discovered to ¥e in a harem in Paris the 'straightening: out" of things takes place. "The role of Katinka is taken by Eye Lynn, a dainty little lady with a charming presénce and a sweet so- prano voice, Howard Langford as "Hopper," the Amevican traveller, and Bernard Gore "Antonio Medice," the cafe Norietor are comedians of high Srdor and add spice to the production. Clara Palmer as "Mrs. Hopper," is a clever singer and dancer. Nicholas Kovae and Elmore Vincent contribute a Russian and \a Circassian dance that won them much applause,® One of the musical Bymhers that was very striking was I Want to Marry a Male ratte while "Racketty Coo," the fedfure of the score, is a beautiful and lingering melody. The company is one of the best seen here in a musical play, the chorus girls being decidedly stunning. . The production is of the kind that one wishes to see a second time.
