 Her debut before a Birmingham audi ence will be a most artistic success. She will be seen in number of characteristic sketches that will show her great versa tilfty. In one of the scenes she will wear superb Princesse gown of American Beauty satin the evening cloak which will envelop her being of white, elabor- ately trimmed with frills of white liberty silk and chiffon. The large hat that she win wear with the costume is of point lace adjusted with roses.
 The musical numbers will be rendered by Miss lClarkson of Decatur, MT. Oliver Chalifoux and MT. Courtney, the latter of New York Miss Gladys Barkheam will be seen in a clog dance. The pro- grammes are very handsome and it is of interest that the entire business trans actions in connection with the recital have been arranged by Mrs. Jones her self. The fact that the advertisements on the programme have in themselves paid all the expenses of her recital, and left her a little bank account of one hun dred dollars, without any receipts from the box office indicates that Mrs. Jones Is a business woman in all that the word implies.
 The tickets for the recital are on sale at the Jefferson.

NERVOUS DISEASES Can Be Endured But They Can Also
 Be Cured.

You may have long suffered from vari-
 ous forms of nervous trouble; there are
 usually many complications whenever
 the nervous system breaks down. Any
 slight excitement almost prostrates you,
 your spirits are depressed, you have fre-
 quent nervous headaches, you suffer
 from sleeplessness or unrestfu sleep, you
 have dizziness or palpitation of the heart, and at all times suffer from that restless f1dgety feeling that marks nervous debili- ty. a.
 You can endure all these nervous trou-
 bles for years or escape them now and for good You can choose one condition or the other. The difference is largely
 due to the presence lack of iron in the
 system-a kind of iron you may never get
 unless you get it from Dr. Harters Iron Tonic.
 It promptly cures all forms of nervous
 debility or exhaustion. It inci eases the vigor of all your vital organs It en- riches your blood with just that form of iron needed to build up your nervous sys- tenn and to give you nerve force and muscular energy.
 You should know that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is not an experiment not a new remedy but one which has been constantly overcoming these conditions for forty-five years. You can believe in a remedy with a record like that Made
