streets, this evening by Dr. Edward How
ard Griggs.
This Is the fourth of a series of lectures
given by DR.. Grggs for the benefit of the

previous addresses. The same course of
lectures is being given this winter in Bos-
ton with an average attendance of 5000
persons.
Mrs. Taft Invited to Attend.
An invitation to attend tonight has been
extended to Mrs. Taft, as the mistress Of
the White House has always shown great
interest in music
Each year the committee has found it
necessary to arrange for a larger lecture
room. For the present course the pastor
and trustees of President Taft'S church
have generously placed at their deposal
an auditorium ideal for lecture purposes.
An Open Discussion.
Following the lecture this evening there
will be an open discussion on the subject
of music. This feature has proved so sue
cessful and attractive in New York. Bos-
ton and in other large centers where this
same course is being given that DIR.
Griggs has promised to introduce it here
this evening.
Among the questions which will be con-
sidered are a comparison of the cultural
value of music with that of sculpture and
painting, what may be said to be the in
! tellectual element in music and the rela-
tionship of the art of music to the sounds
given in the natural world.

Kidney Pills in the Fall of 1898 and re-
ceived such good results that I gladly
gave a statement recommending them.
Now. although ten years have elapsed.
Just as gladly give them my endorsement
Prior to using this remedy had great
deal of trouble with my kidneys. I had
severe pains through my kidneys and an
aching In the small of my back. The kid
ney secretions were too frequent in action
and the passages were attended with
pain. Doans Kidney Pills. which can be
procured at Willis r. Partridge's drug

regulated the action of the kidney secre-
