RED CROSS CONCERT ARTISTS.
Something About Those Who Will APP

Two of the solo artists who will ap-

next Friday evening are well remem-

Mary Castor, soprano, has not been
heard in Brattleboro. Both Miss Kent
| and Miss Castor are residents in New

| When Charlotte Kent began her Sc
rious work as a concert pianiste in Eu-
rope, she faced unsympathetic critics
who in advance of her appearance took
no interest whatever in her coming be-
fore their public. Her brilliant technic,

ship commanded their instant attention

and praise. Nor was this tribute in

monty employed, but was spontaneous
and genuine. The present season finds
Miss Kent excelling her best in previous
/ years.
| Mr.. Ahern won his audience upon the
occasion of his last appearance in Brat

and manly presence as by his interpre-

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
tood-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foodS are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This IS the important reason why

taken for colds, and it does more

leaving the house. The negro man is
said to have threatened the white
woman with the knife and presently

upon Poston at the intersection of

the white man twice across the face

WOMAN is CHARGED
WITH KIDNAPPING
Alleged That Mrs. Robinson Abducted
Her Own Child-Case Goes Back
to North Carolina for Inves-
tigatiOn.

Mrs. Ella Robinson, a white wo-
man, wanted in Rutherfordton, N. c.,
to answer charge of kidnapping, was
arrested here yesterday. Mrs. Robin
son waived requisition and left yes
terday afternoon in an automobile to
answer the charges in Rutherford
ton.
The warrant issued by the North
Carolina authorities charged her with
kidnapping, and another warrant was
issued here by Magistrate Jennings,
charging Mrs. Robinson with being
fugitive. The arrest then follow
ed.
1t appears that the woman and her
husband agreed to disagree and she
accordingly came to South Carolina,
bringing with her the three little
children. The husband claimed that
one of the boys should have been
left with him, and accordingly he took
legal steps to secure the return of
the child.
Just how a woman can be arrested
for kidnapping her own child is not
very clear.
