One of the first things that Dr. Ferdi- hand Dunkley, the new organist and choirmaster of the Church of he Ad- vent, did when he decided to accept the position which had been proffered him here, was to subscribe to The Age-Her- aid from his far-away home in Seattle, and thus get in touch with the musical situation in Birmingham" to quote his own words
 For three months or more Dr. Dunkley has read everything concerning music in Birmingham that he could possibly find and a better informed mind on the subject couldn't be found; indeed, whan l had the pleasure of meeting the dis tinguished organst and choirmaster the past week, soon after his arrival, I found in very short order that he could tell me more about musicians and the musical situation here almost than l knew myself which is saying not a little bit,
 mention this to introduce Dr. Dunk ley as very human and normal sort of musician, for with all his vast musician ship and learning, the human side of the
 
 en and events, makes him an unusual personality in a profession which num- bers it's long-haired exotic personalities by the score.
 Dr. Dunkley, although an Englishman by birth, has lived in America long enough to love the people and the coun- try and, although he began his musical .1 when he was only six years of age, his serious studies commencing when he was between twelve and thirteen, his greatest work as an artist-his finished accom- plishments have been given to America, where for the past twenty years he has achieved success as an organist, choir master and teacher of voice.
 Tn England," pr. Dunkley told me when I was asking him the other day to name the most necessary assets for a successful organist and choirmaster, "the plan of education is so thorough that unless harmony. counterpoint, theory, orchestration and even acoustics have been mastered, an organist is not consid- cred properly trained. A good organist should have a perfect knowledge of sing ing as well as the technique of the or- gan and have made my work as a vocal teacher a part of my organ work. l shall have my studio for voice culture here in connection with my organ work, just as I maintained it in New Orleans, where I lived for eight years, and also in Seattle"
 Many organs as played by the aver age organist sound dead because of the lack of singing quality that should be infused into the instrument by the organist," Dr. Dunkley said. = '"The singing quality cannot be attained un less the organist understands the voice and voice training. An organist in Seattle said to me once:
 You seem to approach the organ from the singers points of music" replied that he was exactly right; that

 n You probably need Iron. TAI Are you fragile, delicate, weak? 'u Iron is probably lacking in your blood.
 Is your skin flabby, your tongue white, your complexion lacking the glow and fluI, of health?
 You need ZIRON Iron Tonic to restore blood and nerves to their proper condition,-to make you we'll and strong.
 Successful men are men of "blood with iron" Beautiful women, with bright eyes and rosy cheeks, have plenty of iron in their blood.
 Iron gives strength and tonicity to the nerves and muscles, enrches the impoverished blood by forming red corpuscles, and helps weak puny people to build up their strength and health.
 If you feel tired, weary, nervous, irritable, unable to think, work or apply yourself to your daily affairs, it is time for you to take ZIRON
 If you catch cold easily, suffer from dys- pepsia, or indigestion, loss of appetite, neural gia in the head, side or back, ZIRON will help to do away with all these troubles'by enriching. your blcod with the salts of pure iron, of which it is composed.
