As courtesy and compliment to the young men of Birmingham assigned as escorts to the official sponsors chaperons and maids of honor, Chairman R. A. Brown and Oscar W. Underwood Jr, announced yesterday afternoon that the escorts would be furnished invitations to the two balls without charge. The ac- ton of Chairman Brown and MT.

AUDIENCE CHARMED
 BY MME. RAPPOLD
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Gives Remarkable Exhibi- ton of Fidelity of the Edison Photographic
 Records

Every available seat in the Jefferson
 theatre was occupied last night by
 music lovers of Birmingham who had
 heen. invited to attend a unique form
 of entertainment given to their friends
 and patrons by Loveman, Joseph x
 Loeb and celebrating the twenty ninth
 anniversary of the firms establish
 ment Madame Marie Rappold, one of
 Americas most noted grand opera stars, assisted by Arthur Walsh, vio-
 Iinist, and the Edison photograph, rem
 dered a brilliant programme designed
 to show the remarkable fidelity with which this machine reproduces instru- mental and vocal music.
 Apart from the novelty of the oe-
 casion. Madame Rappold's appearance was an event of exceptional interest. She ranks with Geraldine Farrar and Riccardo Martin among the foremost American singers and has the distinc- ticn of having received all her train ing in this country from American teachers. The fame she has won in the Metropolitan Opera company and elsewhere has exploded the theory that
 all great singers are made" abroad.
 Madame Rappold was given an en-
 thusiastic reception last night and sang in brilliant style, accompanied by
 what the programme styled the Tab
 oratorr recreation" of her voice. At
 times she paused in order to illustrate
 the rarfect tonal qualities of the Ed
 ison machine. Each of her numbers
 was greatly enjoyed and she not only
 gave pleasure in person to all who heard
 her, but demonstrated in striking
 manner the possibilities of the pho
 nographic record.
 MT. Walsh, who is an accomplished d viclinist, also accompanied the Edison machine in several selections that were rendered in admirable style. The sim ilarity between the recreation" and the actual instrument was startling. Other instrumental and vocal records were demonstrated and the entire pro- gramme delighted the unusually large audience
 Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb received many congratulations. Members of the firm and employees acted as recep- tion committee and as ushers. Freder- ick Gunste1 introduced Verdi E. B. Full : Ter of the Edison company, who made some explanatory remarks and oper- ated the machine.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

The annual election of officers of the Stonewall chapter United Daughters of the Confectionery, was held Tuesday aft ernoon at the meeting of the chapter, which was held at the residence of Mrs J. M. Ball, and are as follows: Mrs. R. D. Johnson, secretary; Mrs. M. M. John son, treasurer; Mrs H. D. Williams, reg istrar; Mrs. E. T. Fields, director; Mrs J. M Dupuy, historian.
 Besides the election of officers the mem bers took up the matter of helping to care for the old soldiers during the re- union next week. It was reported that at least 50 veterans could be provided for 1t the Elks' Home and probably more if necessary. The new Ensley hospital which is practically complete, can take care of about 20, while it is not known exactly how many can be taken care of at the Woodmen hall. These sthree places have been very generously offered by the respective organizations, and are greatly appreciated by the ladies of the tSonewall chapter. It was also decided that the local chapter would serve sand wiches in Birmingham during the re- union
 The Ensley High School baseball team defeated the scrub team of the Howard college Tuesday afternoon for the second time this season by score of 13 to 12. Ensley's victory rests with Bob Brown, who, with the bases full in the ninth inning, knocked a home run which won the game. He also sent the ball sailing through the air in the firth inning TOT a home run with two men on bases. Brown is the heaviest hitter and probably the best all-round man on the Ensley team and is very popular with his team mates. Capps for Howard was the only man to hit a circuit clot and he also played very fine game. Ensley's bat teries were Mindenhall, SheruocK and Brown.

MCDONALD GAINS. 13 POUNDS AND IS. BACK AT WORK AGAIN
I. c. l. Employe Suffered Nervous Breakdown and Couldn't Work for
 Four Months

-Four bottles of Tanlac has put me back on the job, and I'm 13 pounds heavier than I was and feel fine," said Mir. Elgin Mcdonald, bathhouse man. ager for the Tennessee Coal and Iron company's mines at Bessemer for the past eight years.
 l was very nervous and all run down for 12 months or more" con- tinued Mir. Mcdonald in his statement to the Tanlac representative. My ap- petite had failed me almost entirely, and l couldn't eat hardly anything at all, and l had indigestion so bad that my food didn't seem to make me a par ticle of strength. 1 tried about all the medicines that are sold for these trou- bles without getting any relief, and l was losing weight and going down hill at rapid rate. My liver and kid neys got all out of order, too, and would have shooting pains in my back and limbs which would almost run me wild at times, and I was so nervous that any sound sleep was almost out of the question with me- and at any kind of noise I would almost jump out of bed. I spent lots of money for medi- cine, and it was just like throwing it away, for nothing I ever took did me g bit of good as I could see; in fact, I just kept going from bad to worse until 1 had to give up and stop work. And for four months 1 couldn't turn my hands to do a thing, and I reckon l would be in that shape, or worse, right now, if it hadn't been for a friend of mine who advised me to try Tan1ac. didn't know it at the time, but that was the best advice I ever had. I could tell change for the good before the first bottle was gone; | was not near so nervous, and could sleep better, and began to eat hearty and take on flesh and get stronger, and before I hardly krew it I was back on the job feeling fine.
 T have just taken four bottles of Tanlac in all now, and I have gained 13 pounds in weight and I can eat just anything I want and as much of it as I care to, and I'm not bothered with indigestion at all, and what eat is giving me health and strength. I'm not nervous the least bit now, and I sleep sound all night till the alarm wakes me in the mornings. Tanlac was the very thing I needed. It has regu- lated my liver, and put my kidneys back in fine shape, and I feel better in every way than I have in long time. Good health is worth everything, and I'm certainly grateful for having mine restored to me. Several of the boys around here are now taking Tanlac on account of the good it did me, and they say it's helping them, too"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- clusively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by w. D. Morris Drug company; in Bessemer by Pegram Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and in North Birmingham by, Walker Drug company.-Adv.
