We have no advice to offer the per-

But to the man or woman who is

sets up and at times takes the form
known as appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not

discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take food
in which the starch has been trans

This is identically the same form

In course ofconsuuction, having entered

gated every process in the complicated
manufacture, this expert said to us: II
have seen many factories and played
upon vast number of pianos, but no.
where have found such extraordinary
pains taken to secure fine workmanship
and durability, nowhere have / seen a
piano that pleased me so well in quail

and in general excellence as has been
proven to be true of every piano you
make, whether Grand, Playerpiano or

Such is practically the comment of
every expert and they comet to us from
all parts of America-who visits US.
The plain truth is that we make pianos
of such unusual excellence that they
never fail to call forth enthusiastic com
mentfrom men whose lifelong expert
ence has made them specialists, either

First Informal Concert.

The first public appearance of the

evening at the South Street Presby-

informal concert under the direction
Of j. S. Matthews, the conductor.
The Sunday School room was crowded
with friends of the singers, admission
being by invitation, who greatly ap-
preciated the selections rendered.
Solos were sung by Miss Minnie Parker
and Miss May Brooks, their efforts be-
ing encored. After the songs a short
cantata was rendered. Mr.. Matthews
spoke on the few opportunities for
singing in Morristownsand the conSe-
quent deficiency in the number of
voices available for choirS, ETC., stat
ing that the concert was given largely
to stimulate the interest in singing.
