Backache a Warming
All Should Heed
II is One Of the First Signs of Kid.
ney Troubles, ii Neglected,
Serious Diseases Follow.

No one can be we'll and healthy
unless the kidneys work properly and
keep the blood pure. When they be-
come clogged up and inactive. nature
has a way of warning you.
Backache is one OF the first symp-
toms. You may also be troubled
with disagreeable, annoying bladder
disorders; have attacks of lumbago
or rheumatism: become nervous,
tired, and feel all worn-out; puffy
swellings show under the eyes or in
the feet and ankles; and many other
symptoms are noticed II they are
neglected. dropsy. diabetes, or
Bright's disease, which so often prove
fatal. ifay result
II is not only dangerous. but need-
less for you to suffer and endure the
tortures OF these troubles. for the
new discovery, Croxone. quickly and
surely ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt cure Of all such
troubles than this new, scientific
preparation, because it removes the
cause. Il soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings; cleans
out the clogged up pores; neutralizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter that lodge In the
joints and muscles and cause those
terrible rheumatic pains, and makes
the kidneys filter and sift the poison
out Of the blood and drive it from
the system.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. There is
nothing else on earth like IT, II is
so prepared that It is practically i'm
possible TO take It into the human
system without results.
You can secure an original pack
age of Croxone at trifing cost from
any first-class drug store, such as
that of n. B. Danforth. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price If Croxone should
fail in single case. Three doses a
day for a few days is often all that
is ever needed to cure the worst back
ache. relieve rheumatic pains, or
overcome urinary disorders.

Summer Fancies," by three-part
chorus. was a special feature. and
showed the voices to splendid adyan-
tage. Miss Lydia Saville's solo parts
were lovely, her clear notes full of
an appealing tenderness. and the
beauty of the chorus singing was en-
HANGED by the soft notes Of the violin
played by Henry Stausebach, who ac-
companied q number of other selec-
tions most expressively. A soprano
given by Miss Emma Lore. being par
ticularly adapted to the full melodi-
Gus notes Of her beautiful voice
The piano selections given by the
Misses Dorothy NJ. Curley and Marga-
ret NJ Montgomery, were notable, i'm
that il was the first public appearance
of the youthful pianists. and they
we're roundly applauded for the ma
tural grace and skill which was
shown i'm the execution OF the diff
cult classical selections

soprano solo "Sing Me TO Sleep" al
so made her initial bow to the public
last evening Her voice has the sweet
sympathetic qualities which are rare
in a singer, and which we're special
ly brought out in her selection.

and catchy song Love in Springtime"

melody OF The Last Song" which
enhanced the charm OF her voice. As
Mr.. Goldberg could not be present.

harp. This number was applauded
The selections given by the Mandolin

Miss Wales, Miss Lore Miss Bowe.
Miss Gilbride and all the others. who
were concealed by the curtain, sang
the song, making II a most effective
number. Charles Edwards is the in
structor of the Mandolin Club.
Miss Curley. as accompanies was
delightful in her part of the evenings
pleasure. Notable skill was shown
in her accompanying. her notes being
always subdued so that the voices
could be plainly heard. yet always
were they clear and distinct
Although the program was a long
one. the audience. which packed both
auditorium and balcony, heard the
concluding number with regret. and
the opinion, generally was that the
Grand Concert" simply could not
have been better, for it was the very
best which has yet been given for the
benefit Of the Ursuline Academy.
