THE HIGH SCHOOL CANTATA
BY DANIEL MULLER.

At the high school auditorium last
evening was given the cantata, THE
Light of the World" by the high
school musical organizations consist
ing of chorus and orchestra directed
by Miss Grace V. Wilson, supervisor of
music in the Topeka high schools. 1t
was an evening of surprises to a good
sized audience. The orchestra played
the Fifth Hungarian Dance by Brahms
semble very good, and tempt and at
tack fine. A waltz. the Skaters by
Waldteufel was a hundred per cent
better than when I heard them two
weeks ago. Robert Service played
Meditation from That's" and Silent
Night" on the violin with taste and
musicianship, accompanied by Miss
Ruth Naylor, who played all accom-
paniments and did very good work.
The chorus was well balanced and
worked as smoothly as veterans. Their
part-singing was the best. 1t was a
pleasure to hear their young voices
ringing with a freshness one usually
misses when we listen to hard worked
commercial artists.
The outstanding feature was that all
of the audience could understand all of
the text of what was sung. Miss Will
son deserves praise of the highest de-
gree for the good work she is teach
ing the young people to do. She is an
able, ceaseless worker. She demands
and gets the best.
Mrs. Armendariz, who took the solo
parts with the chorus, did pleasing
work.
The high school is to be congratu-
lated. Topeka will make no mistake
if she takes notices of this fine music
making organization.

THAT Tanlac is a wonderful med
icine for delicate children is con-
clusively proven by the remarkable
results accomplished in the cases of
the three children shown in this pic
ture

r. L, age IS, gained 10 pounds; Re
gina McCabe. at right, age 9, of Scran-
ton, Pa, gained Is pounds; little

who was very delicate, is now in fine,
robust health. The statements made
by their parents are as follows:
Mr.. A NJ Blair, residing at 20 At
wood street, Providence, R. L. said:
I'VE are just so happy over the change
Tanlac has made in our little girl that
we can't do or say enough to show our
appreciation. She had lost nearly 20
pounds in weight and looked so frail
and weak that her mother and were
both almost worried sick over her
condition. Since taking Tanlac, she
has already gained 10 pounds, her
color is better than it ever has been
and she looks and acts like different
girl"
Mrs. Catherine McCabe, Ala Dick
insOn Ave, Scranton, Pa, said: The
flu left my little Regina in such a
bad condition that have no idea she
would be with me now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac. 1t is a mystery to
me how she lived on the little she was
eating and was so lifeless she never
even cared to play with the dolls and
toys she got at Christmas. Since TAX
ing Tanlac she is as hardy and well
as any child could be and has gained
Is pounds in weight. I will always
praise Tanlac for restoring our little
girls health
Richard Leary, 2342 Palethorpe St,
Philadelphia, said: There is no doubt
in my mind but that Tanlac saved my
little boys life. For two years I
wouldn't have been a bit surprised to
have seen him drop off at any time.
He had stomach trouble and many
time the gas pressed up into his chest

MANY WANT TO join K. N. G.
Kansans Anxious to Serve in Coal
Fields

IIcIdS.
The mobilization of troops for duty
in the Kansas coal fields has given d
strong impetus to recruiting, according
to Col. Milton r. Mclean, assistant
adjutant general. This interest is
manifest. he said, not only in troops
modified and held in readiness for
service, but in the other units not
called to duty.
In the four cavalry troops and auxil-
larry forces first ordered to Crawford
county, not one man asked to be ex-
cused from service for any reason,
Colonel Mclean said. Scores of offers
have come from officers in the World
war, volunteering their services if
needed in the emergency.
