have been a sufferer from chronic
headaches that made my life unbear-
able, as headached sufferers know
that it is hard to get anything that
will touch them, they just have to
wear them out. My stomach was
bad, as most people that have head
ache have bad stomach I paid no at
tention to the fact. At last a friend
told me that if I would go after and
straighten my stomach up with Lax
atone I would get well. I used the
same and am today free of my head
aches.
Now do not allow yourself to have
constipation, bilious spells, dizziness
fell tired out and run down. Get rid
of that sour acid bloated stomach and
get on the health wagon. Lax-a-
Tone will do it.

TALKING MACHINE
RECORDS

Campanari, whose Figaro in the
Metropolitan Opera House presenta-
lions of "The Barbar of Seville will
long live in the memories of opera
goers, has sung the famed aria of
Figaro the Largo al Factotum"
for the Columbia Graphophone Com
pany. 1t has ever been the aspira-
ton of baritones to master the intri-
cacies of Figaros song, but few have
ever realized it. And. Campanari is
one Of the favored few. There is an
exultant JOY in the virile voice of Cam
panari as he sings the melodious gas
conade that glorifies the vanity Of
Figaro, and suggests most pictures
que character.
An extra ordinary Columbia record
ing is woodwind (bassoon) and
harp duet; Filipucci's "Serenade,"
played by Auguste Mesnard and
Charles Schuetze, solo members Of
the New York Philharmonic Society.
A zephyr-like harp introduction is
followed by a lovely Interviewing Of
beautiful inspiring notes. The light
delicate voice of the harp over the
deep undertones of the bassoon is in
deed eloquent of evening-shimmer
moonbeams cleaning over the sha-
dows of night. So far as is known,
the "Serenade" Is the only recording
extant of harp and bassoon duet.
Jean de Reszke's greatest male pu-
pill the renowned baritone Oscar
Seagle, has recorded "a delightful love-
lyric for the Columbia,- 80 Happy
Day. Seagle's exquisite insight into
the heart of sentimental song was
never more beautifully evidenced
than in his singing Of this ecstatic
poesy of a heart that was lost in the
limpid blue depths of eyes that were
wells of light Those who prefer
the simpler love lyrics will find true
enjoyment in 80 Happy Days"
When in a poetic mood, nothing
could hold greater enchantment than
a lullaby that has caught the lustered
color and rhythm of an irrelescent sea-
Such a song is 1.-THE SHUTDOWN Sea- -
a Columbia recording by Morgan
Kingston, whose glorious tenor voice
has lifted him from a colliery to the
operate stage. On the magic spell of
Kingston's voice and the soothing
rhythm Of the sea, embodied in the
sweet melody, the listener is indeed,
in the words Of the song, borne "away
from the Shore of Dry to Dreamland. -
For rollicking old-fashioned fiddle
playing, Don Richardson has no
equal. The latest Columbia recording
of this clever instrumentalist, car
kansaw Traveller" reminiscent Of old
time minstrelsy, is replete with the
original and spontaneous flashes of
humor characteristic of Richardson's
work. "Arkansaw Traveller" will re-
call some of the quaint witticisms of
lend men" to those who were so for
tunate as to live in the days of Hav-
ers1ey's Ministries. And the younger
generation will find novel entertain
ment in it's happy themes.

The majority of those present op-
posed it on the ground that it would
give the state commissioner too much
power and said. that in case of cpl
demic, a commissioner should not
have the power to go through
mans property. They also said that
it would give them too much power
in regulating school children and
children in manufacturing plants
They believed in letting the commits
sion have jurisdiction, but did not
want it to dictate. Attorney General
George E. Human opposed the bill
as it would give the commission too
much power.
