The Schubert club, already locally
famous for the excellency of the pro-
gramfnes 1t furnishes every other week
during the season for the education and
entertainment of its members, has
added still another laurel to those 1t
mas already won. Yesterday after
moons programme was the first since
the opening of the clubs season, aside
from the annual presidents day pro-
gramme. and was novel, in that it was
made up entirely Of the compositions
OF Gerard Tonning, the Duluth COM
poser, Mr.. Tonning> himself participa-
ting. Mr.. Tonning Is typical must

easily with few IL any mannerisms and

own. and rank easily with the works
OF composers better known. Mr. Ton
ming appeared in the second number
which was made up of three selec-
tions. "Aufschwung, Indian Legend
and "Danse Norvegienne," and with
Mrs. j. A. Deter at the end of the
programmed in a duet number. Paul

The first number on the programme
was a duet for soprano and baritone.

At the close Of the programme she
gave "Cavatina' from Der Freischutz

deep contralto always pleaSeS her hear

most attractive numbers on the pro-
gramme Miss Louise Taylor. whose
execution on the violin has won for
her favorable public attention, gave a
pleasing RomanZa. The attendance
was good and the afternoon one of the
most enjoyable yet passed by the club.
The entertainment for the benefit of

are it will be most successful. The

Gladness Comes

XHJith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
| rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cab
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
IF in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but il In need of laxative,
one should hayr the best, and with the
weil-inforned everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Esed and gives most general satisfaction.
