VERTEBRATE CONCERT

large audience including the best
musical talent of the city was delight
ed by the Reinald Werrenrath concert
last night at the First Baptist church.
This is the first time Werrenrath has
appeared in Topeka since he has
reached the high pinnacle of fame, but
he was liked when. several years ago.
he made his debut to Topeka music
lovers as member of the Parkhurst
concert course.
Werrenrath is purely American in
appearance and style and absolutely
without unattractive mannerisms. His
first number was the prologue to
Pagliacci," which is so often included
on the program of an artist. AS an
encore to that he sang the old English
song, Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes, and the audience was won for
the remainder of the evening. AS one
woman remarked, THAT encore alone
was worth the price of admission" His
second number included a group of
two old English and two old Irish
numbers. The English were decided
ly English and the Irish just as Irish,
the latter perhaps were a little more
popular with the audience. His enun-
! citation of the different languages was
wonderful, as was demonstrated when
with the next group he was as French
as he had been Irish and English be-
fore. Of the three French. numbers
the Vision Fugitive" from Herodiade
DcSl SI1OWeu Lie QudAily anu oiesC Va
his voice. 1t is purely recitative in the
interlude and very dramatic in the
aria and gave the artist chance to
prove without a doubt that he is
well rounded singer. both lyric and
dramatic.
Included in the program was a
group of seven Chinese Mother Goose
Rhymes set to Chinese music which
were pretty and amusing. The whole
seven took anly six minutes. The last
number was group of four, including
two of Kiplng's poems set to music
and in singing these numbers the
cockney whine was perfect, but per-
fectly beautiful. The artist even wore
the cockney expression while singing
| these songs.
Werrenrath is a singer who has
| brains and uses them in his interpre-
tation. OF course he has one of those
voices which are born not made, but
much of his success is undou btedly
due to the way in which he combines
his intellect with his talent.
The audience felt so intimately ac
painted with him at the close of his
program that they asked for two of
their favorite songs, THE Star Span
gled Banner" and Danny Deever."
| another one of Kipling's poems set to
music. Werrenrath very graciously
furnished both. explaining that it had
been eight months since his accom-
PIANIST. Mr. Harry Spier, and he had
gone over Danny Dcever" together,
as Mr.. Spier has been in service for
his country Own.

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade
Here's an easy way to save Sc, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.


You've probably heard of this WELL
known plan of making cough syrup at
home. But have You ever used it i?
why thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of
a cough will quickly earn it per-
manent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21a ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if
desired, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, it tastes good, never
spoils, and gives you full pint of
better cough remedy than you could
buy ready-made for three times its
cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this home made remedy conquers q
cough-usually in "a hours or less. 1t
seems to penetrate through every air
passage, loosens dry, hoaTse or tight
cough, lifts the .phlegm, heals. the MEM
relief Splendid for throat tickle,
hoarseness, Group, bronchitis and bron-
chial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
and has been used for generations for
throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex'
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

WHY SOCIETY, WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because it is a fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always advis-
able TO use a preparation made for
shampooing only Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this ct cost of
about 3 cents a shampoo by getting
some canthrox from your druggist
and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead of Just the top of the
head. as with most preparations
Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is Its luster and softness
will also delight you--Advertisement
