The YaW Concert.

Much has been written about the aW
concert to be given in Waterville on Jan.
s. 1909. Those who heard this Wortser-
full artist at the FeeStival realize what
great treat is in store for them, but
when one realizes the very small! number
that went to the Festival from all the
towns ard cities last fall, we are not
SURPRISED that the great majority ale
not more excited over the coming of
Madame Yaw, but after she has visited
us hundreds Of muSiclOyerS Will mourn
the loss of an opportunity of a lifetime
to hear this matchless high soprano of
the world right in our city, for this is an
incident which may never occur again
in the history Of our town. She is the
greatest artist that has ever appeared
here. In other words, we are to have q
one Thousand dollar -a-nlght prim2-donna
brought right TO our doors, and it is JUS,
bv the greatest good fortune that MI
CHAPMAN has been able to arrange this
tour to include us. This Will positively
be the last opportunity to hear the high
est soprano in the world for the next
three years, as she goes to vienna aite"
this season. Madame Yaw must be both
seen and heard to he appreciated. All OF
the great artists that have appeared at
the Festival have never commenced to
create the enthusiasm of her audience
that Madame Yaw did. When you stop to
realize that she was recalled is times IN
Portland, which is one Of the most critical
cities of any in New England, what will
she do with our audience i'll our city?
One will have to pay Sc to hear Madame
Yaw in New York in February. Mr..
Chapman is determined to play her at
popular prices at 81 and $laO. Madame
Yaw will be assisted by Markham Tai
mage baritone and flute. and Frank +.
Kendiie, violinist and Mr.. Chapman at
the piano AS this will be the one great
musical event of the season, no wonder
our city is talking of the Yaw concert.
Society will be we'll represent. This will
be the last week to secure your seats.
Don't fail to attend to this early in the
week. as in many of the cities the houses
are practically sold out by the members
of the Festival Chorus, who will receive
their commission on all sales of tickets,
which will he such 81 help in sustaining
the Festival Chorus in this city. Madame
Yaw has kindly consented to assist the
chorus the same as Madame Schuman-
Heink did. We must decide this week
whether we get the special train to Wa
terville. People who intend TO purchase
tickets to the Yaw concert at Waterville
Jan. must procure them this week, as
we are obliged to return the diagram OF
the Opera house and tickets to Waterville
after Saturday evening of this week. Call

Bowditch, Webster
a Co. the Druggists
will Give You Your
Money Back If MI
O-NA Does Not
Cure Dyspepsia.
SsTHIS

SQUARE
DEAL?
Bowditch, Webstt


& Co. make this square deal offer be-
cause they are authorized to do SO by
the makers of Mi-o-na tablets, and
they are willing to have this state
ment appear in the Journal because
they know the offer is genuine.
And while it may be that there are
about cases in 100 that are too far
gone for Mi-o-na to cure, we are will
ing and ready to take all the chances.
and il Mi-o-na does not cure, any
dyspeptic can have his money back.
Even with this liberal offer,
Bowditch, Webster & Co. will not have
to refund but very small percent
age, because the incurable dyspeptics
will find SO much relief in Mi-o-na
that they will once again look upon the
sunny side of life, and will continue
to use Mi-o-na. sf@
Now, reader, you may say how can
the makers of Mi-o-na make such an
offer? How do; they know that 90 per
cent of the users will be cured, and
that the other s. per cent. or the in
curables, will be relieved?
Why, it's all very simple. We've
made this same offer in 1000 towns be-
fore we made it here, and we have fig
ured out the percentages. so that when
we make the statement we know it to
be absolutely true.
"Mi-o-na tablets are truly great for
anyone that has stomach trouble. l
can not praise them too highly for
what they have done for me.'-Mrs
w .. Bennett. BuckspOrt. Me.
The price is only 80 cents a box.
