RECITAL BY MIR. HARTZELL,
 MESDAMES COLE AND PECK

A large and appreciative audience en- loved the recital given by MT. Hartzell, assisted by Mrs. Leon Cole and Mrs John Peck, in compliment to the General Sum- te- chapter Daughters of the American Revolution.
 A pleasing feature of the audience was the presence of the charming little men and women, who constitute the Jane Bland chapter Children of the Revolu- tion
 MT. Hartzell is ono of the most ac- complished organists of the south, and on this occasion seemed in best form, for his execution of every number on the splendid programme was faultless in tech- nic and interpretation. Ills artistic tenn peramant does not allow pyrotechnfcal display, but searches for the soul of the composition and presents 1t to the heart of the listener Mrs. Peck's rich con tralto voice added much pleasure, and each number was well sung and heartily appreciated. Mrs. Coles splendid dra- matic soprano voice never sounded more beautiful. Her charming personality and very musical temperament enhance the glory of her song.
 The programme was ideal In selection and execution, and will long be remem- bered by the Daughters of the Revolution as the most artistic celebration of Wash ington's birthday in the history of their chapter. It was a rare courtesy, gracious ly extended by MT. Hartzell.

SMITH-JENNINGS
 WEDDING OCCURS

A marriage of former Birmingham peo- pie, solemnized this week in Meridian was that of Mrs. Laura Long Jennings and MT. Hugh Smith. It occurred at the handsome home of the brides sister, Mrs. Poindexter, formerly Miss Daisy Long of this city, and was witnessed only by the relatives and very few intimate friends of the bridal couple. The account of the marriage, appearing in one of the Meridian papers, stated that the Poindex- te- residence, which is one of the most attractive in Meridian. was deliberately decorated for the nuptial service in palms, ferns and crimson roses. The ceremony, at which the Rev. Dr. LaPrade was the officant. was celebrated beneath a hand some arch of greenery erected between the drawing room and library. As the vows were pronounced Miss Tackett sang "Oh Fair, Oh Sweet and Holy Mrs. Bledsoe accompanying. The bride was at- tired for traveling in a blue tailored cos tune, whose only contrasting color was touch of cerise introduced with becom- ing effect in the smart spring toque. She carried bouquet of brides roses. There were no attendants.
 The guests were received by Mrs. James Long of this city and Mrs. Poindexter, who wore a handsome black velvet cos tune A number of handsome gifts at- tested the high esteem in which both bride and bridegroom are held. MT and Mrs. Smith are in New Orleans, but after a, 10 day stay on the coast they will go to Meridian, where they will be with MT. and Mrs. Poindexter until the completion mer resident of this city, but at present is an official in the Alabama Car Ser vice association in Meridian, where he is esteemed in business and social circles.

It Is Possible to Reduce Flesh Without Dieting or Exercise

It is not only possible but being done everywhere. Exercise, unless carefully superintended by a physician and eX- pert Athletic Director, may easily do a deal of harm to the great overburdened fleshy body. The untutored fat man and woman determined to get thin are only too likely to overstrain their fat encumbered muscles by their awkward. lll-adyised gymnastics, and so cause nerve and muscle trouble that may develop into something far worse than little too much flesh. Same way with dieting. Starvation Is certainly effec- tive il kept up long and faithfully enough, but 1t is almost certain to in- jure the nutritive process and so weak sn the patient constitutionally, while 1t is abominable torture, of course, espe- cialiy to a good -natured, high-living fleshy man or woman.
 Fortunately neither dieting nor ex- ercising are required or. desirable if one uses the right remedy for reduc- ing fat. and strange to say, the remedy is simple. wholesome home mixture. the ingredients of which are obtain able at any drug store for few cents. This mixture is as follows: 1-2 oz. Marmola, 1-2 oz. Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. 3i2 ounces Peppermint Water. and the proper amount to take is one teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. This mixture takes the fat off rapidly but naturally, so that no wrinkles are formed and no harm is done to the stomach. as Is SO frequently the case with Patent or secret advertised remedies.

ties of evolution. In the London pulpits were such giants as Dr. Joseph Parker. Sturgeon and Canon Farrar. On account of his knowledge of Africa, Colledge was brought into prominence that gained TOT him the acquaintance of these public men. Colledge having completed his studies, came to the United States and entered the Congregational ministry. Dr. Gunsaulus soon made him head of the English and English literature department In Armour institute of Technology. This position was held until 1909.
 As an educator Dr. Coledge's works have been of great value. He was first ed- itor of the well known monthly. The Technical World Magazine, and is author of a charming volume, 'lnterpretatiVe Studies" His most important literary work was done as editor in chief of the New Standard Encyclopaedia.
 As lecturer Dr. Colledge excels in point of equipment Education. travel, associa- ton and experience are his. Add to these a magnetic personality, full rich voice, keen sense of humor and perfect com mand of the English language and he leaves nothing to be desired.
 On February 26 he will present in the auditorium of the Birmingham High school Second Fiddles.' It is force full presentation of the elements of sue CESS. IL BlNtS du yois cA eho 'SiS things that every one Is striving for, the real reason for first and second fiddles in the symphony of human life. It sparkles with humor, rich and forceful throughout. Of Dr. Coledge's lecture, a Burlington paper has this to say:
 'One of the largest audiences enjoyed one of the finest mental entertainments of the season last evening. Every seat in the house was occupied, and the aid Of oh .ai had to 1axao ofT1n commodate the audience. The lecture was full of energy, emphasis and soulfulness."
 All who hear this rare treat will be im- pressed by Dr. Colledge, for he is strong man and a polished gentleman. He pos-' sesses a strong, pleasing voice, splendid flow of language and behind all the force of superb manhood.
