This prescription was compounded for
the Reverend Father John O'Brien at
the old drug store on that date, and
was so successful in treating Father
Johns ailment, which was a severe
cold and throat trouble, that he rec
commended the medicine to his friends
and pArishioners. In going to the
drug store and calling for the medi-
cine, they always asked for Father
Johns Medicine, and in this way the
medicine got it's name and was ad-

Teeth NOw Beautifed
Almost Like MGgic

Why is IL that men and women of
refinement go to their dentists two,
three or four times a year to have their
teeth scraped? Because such persons,
though ardent devotees of the tooth
brush. find that the usual dentifrices
do not suffice to keep their teeth free
from stains and tartar. If more people
only knew it. there is a perfectly
harmless substance, to be found in any
drug store, which acts almost like
magic when used on unclean and dis
colored teeth.
Anyone can have the loveliest pearIy
white teeth imaginable by simply
using refined avatol in PLACE of tooth
powder, cream or liquid. If one will
procure a tube of this and use a little
Of II daily on tooth brush. the un-
slightly discolorations and tartar will
not return after their removal Further
more, the refined avatol, being anti
spetic and antacid, destroys germs, pre-
vents tooth decay and gum inflammation,
neutralizes acids and keeps the breath
sweet. This is the most important an
nouncement in the field of dental
hygiene made within recent years

TO Quickly Remove
Ugly Hairs From Face
(Beauty Notes)

misunderstanding hairs are soon
banished from the skin with the aid
of a delatone paste, made by mixing
some water with a little plain powder
ed delatone. This is spread upon the
hairy surface for or minutes, then
rubbed off and the skin washed to
remove the remaining delatone. This
simple treatment banishes every trace
of hair and leaves the skin without a
blemish. Caution should be used to
be certain that 1t is delatone you buy.

The Roshon Studio.

Massanet's beautiful sacred cantata,
Mary Magdalen," will be presented
for the first time in this city, to-mor-
row evening at o'clock in the West
minister Presbyterian Church, by an
augmented choir under the direction
of Robert C. Smith, j. Stewart Black,
organist. The soloists are Mrs. Phoebe
Turner, who will sing the role of the
the Magdalen, Miss Mary Bell Corbett,
that of Martha; DR.. Byron Stanley
Behney, that of the Christ, and Stan
ley G. Backenstoss that of Judas. Each
one of these soloists needs no intro
duction to harrisburg.
A silver offering will be collected
for the benefit of the music committee
of the church. Massanet is one of
the modern composers. His Mary
Magdalen" was written in 1912 and
was with great difficulty placed before
tn, public, only succeeding through
his friendship with Pauline Viardot-
Garcio, the greatest operate contralto
of her time. During April, 1873, the
first performance was given and at
once established new era in sacred
oratorios. without figures or con-
trapuntal ensembles. but full of life,
love and melody.
The critic Camille Saint-Saens
wrote, MaSSenets music is original
without being odd, and entertaining
without being trivial. On examinna-
ton one discovers, not without sur
prise, that it proceeds from that or
Gounod, of which 1t nowhere gives the
impression. Massenet Is to Gounod
what Schumann is to Mendelssohn."
1t remained, however, for Russia S
greatest composer to pay this work
its greatest tribute.
Tchaikowsky in writing to his broth
er, states, when he began to play
the score he was soon convinced 1t was
not commonplace. The duet between
the Christ and the Magdalen is mas
terp ece."
