Washington.-Stran as 1t may
sound. yet it is true that one of the
most stubborn obstacles that the Negro
in music and drama has had to over
come was strongly intrenched preju-
dice against Negro professional stage
people that dominated the cultured and
refined members Of his own race. But
the Negro artists in music and drama
have now at last the "heart and hand"
Of the better class Of their own people.
A most striking illustration Of this
fact was demonstrated recently when
the Hackley- Coleridge Taylor Dumas
Aldridge- Walker-C Cole Dramatic club
of this city presented for two nights
ut the new Howard theater most re-
markable and historic musical and dra-
matte entertainment which was par
ticipated In by some Of the most cele-
brated coiored artists.

crowded houses both nights. was called
''the George Walker memorial" and

fessional Negro has also brought q
large measure of intelligence and In.

under celebrhted masters, some of
them having finished their musical edu-
cation abroad under the direction Of
the old world masters.

LIVING AT HIGH TENSION.

To overdo in order to keep up with
the parade is the tendency of the
age.
Living at such a high tension, is it
any wonder that our nerve SANTA
RUINS and rest cures are filled with
nervous, overworked, broken-down
men and women.
When one begins to get into this
condition, there is only one cure
complete rest, together with a whole
some diet and a good blood-making
tonic and strength creator. There is
nothing in this line than can possibly
excel the medicinal elements of the
Gods liver, combined with tonic iron.
This simple combination is found in
Vinol. 1t contains no oil or grease
and agrees with everyone.
A wei known college professor
states that he considers Vinol a truly
wonderful tonic and strength creator.
He was himself overworked and run
down to a critical point A friend
asked him to try Vinol He did so,
and is now enjoying perfect health,
and its curative powers cannot be too
strongly eXtolled.
We recommend Vinol to build up
and strengthen the rundown and over
worked, weak women, old people,
DELEGATE children and conyalescents.
In case anyone is not satisfied after
taking one bottle, we always refund
their money. This does not happen
often, however, because Vinol's per-
centage Of cures is very high. bod
