TWO ASSOCIATIONS TO HOLD sEs-
 SIONs HERE.
Artists From All Portions of South to Meet in Montgomery to Participate tn Con-
 certs.

That the convention of the Southern Alabama Music Teachers Association. in Montgomery on June 13, IA and To will be the greatest gathering of mu- sicians that Montgomery has ever known Is borne out by the latest infor- nation that has been obtained by rep resentatives of the association in this city. Music teachers and musicians from all over the South, as well as sev- eraI of the most able musicians of the country will be present, and the ln- struction in papers read before the as- sociations as well as the concerts to be given will be of vital interest to musicians.
 In connection with the meeting of the music teachers, there will be a music festival under the auspices Of the Montgomery Musical Association, recently organized by sixty citizens of Montgomery, to afford guarantee fund to bring the best musical artists to Montgomery Under the auspices of the Festival three concerts will be given, and five concerts will be given by members of the teachers associations.
 During the sessions of the teachers associations papers of educational val- ue will be read by August Geiger, J. w. Jeudwine, of Washington, D C., and Miss Georgia Sterling of Mobile.
 Five concerts will be given during the three days of the festival, and on each evening there will be an orches- tral concert which will be conducted by Robert Eienberg. The Montgomery symphony Orchestra will be augmented by professionals who will come to Montgomery from Atlanta, making the orchestra consist of forty people, all of whom are trained musicians. chorus of fifty voices will be heard under the direction of George Lindnel and a number of soloists of interna-

tional reputation have been engaged to appear.
 Among those with whom contracts have been signed are Mr. Frank Orms- by, the famous tenor of New York, who has been heard in nearly all the prin- cipal cities of this country and abroad and who is conceded to De an artist of rare talent. Mime. Shotwell Piper, the celebrated soprano, Is another star who will be heard at the festival So well is she known by reputation that an in- troduction is hardly necessary. She has been heard many times in concerts in the South, and her fame precedes her. Mme. Berdice Bye, pianist, has also agreed to appear and her polished performance will undoubtedly add greatly to the success of the festival.
 Twenty Southern artists have al- ready announced their intention of par ticipating in the festival of music. Many of these have achieved fame all over the country, and their regulations as musicians are not confined to the South. Their best efforts will be ex- erted to make Montgomery's first music festival an artistic success.
 Sixty ladies, wives of members of the Montgomery Musical Association, will act as patronesses of the festival. and as all of them are themselves 
 ly interested in the association, they will soon begin to get active in behalf of the movement that has been inau- gurated.
 Handsome programs, 5000 in number, will soon be issued and distributed by A c. Davis, who is in charge of this part of the work.
 Among the members of the associa- tion who will take part in the concerts are:
 Kurt Mueller and Paul Donahoo, pianists, of Atlanta; Frank Nelson, pia- mist; Mrs. E. A. Brandau, pianist; Mrs. Isadore Meek, soprano. and Miss Rubel, violinist, of Knoxville; Douglass Pow ell. baritone. of Nashville; Mrs. Law retta, soprano. and Miss Georgia Sterl- ing. violinist, of Mobile; Miss Eda Bar tholomew, organist, of Atlanta: Oscar Pappenheimer, violincellist of Atlanta; Miss Eleanor Carr, of Montevallo viol- mist. and many others from cities of the South and North.

DON'T DIE AT 45.
Cure the Indigestion Which Is So Liable
 to Lead to ApOpiexy.

to Lead to ApOpiexy.
 Rush of business, eating too fast and too much, excesses of any kind, soon result in indigestion. Then when the digestive organs cannot care for the food properly the coats of the blood vessels in the brain get little nourish- ment, become brittle, and finally yield to the fierce blood pressure. One is then said to have shock" to be par alysed, or to die from apopiexy.
 People suffering with headache. gid diness, palpitation, sleeplessness. bad taste in the mouth, drowsiness, coated tongue. distress after eating, specks before the eyes. and any other of the many distressing results of a weak ened stomach, should profit by the dis covery of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
 In recent years the greatest advance in medicine has been in the study of diseases of digestion and nutrition and no other prescription has proven it. self of as much value as Mi-o-na. It is relied upon as a certainty today in relieving the worst troubles of diges- complete cure.
 fered in substantiation of the claims that Mi-o-na will cure the worst forms of stomach trouble. cancer excepted and give immediate relief in indiges- tion is the guarantee that E. c. Fowler gives with eavry 50-cent box of Mi-o-na 10 refund the money unless Mi-o-na cures. A guarantee like this must in spire confidence in Mi-o-na. Fowler takes the whole risk and the remedy will not cost you penny unless 1t cures.
