The production of the Holy
City at the Wahpeton opera
house Saturday Jan 12th, prom
ises to be an event of more than
ordinary interest, and if all
that has been said in piaise of
it is true, we are indeed fortun
ate in being able to witness
anything so good. The play of
course deals with sacred sub
jects, the author having taken
for his theme the thrilling story
of John the Baptist, and the in
cidents of the Bible story just
previously to and following the
crucifixion. The tragedy of
Calvary is shown by tableaux
after the famous painting of
Michael Augelo and is said to
be one of the most magnificent
the stage has ever Known. Of
course the character of our Sav
iour is not sliowu, but many of
those immediately associated
with Christ while on earth are
presented with a fidelity to the
best conceptions of their char
acter and appearance, and the
result is a play that is at all
times absorbing with interest
and elevating in its teaching.

To stop a cold with "Preven
tics" is safer than to let it run
and cure it afterwards. Taken
at the "sneeze stage" Preventics
will head off all colds and
grippe, and perhaps savev vou
from Pneumonia or Bronchitis.
Preventics are little toothsome
candy cold cure tablets selling
in 5 cent and 25 cent boxes, ^f
you are chilly, if you begin to
sneeze, try Preventics. They
will surely check the cold, and
