The Arts Club entertainment. held
Tuesday night, in the club garden,

of singing and dancing, arranged and
directed by DIR. w. Z. Stafford, whose
ability to talk profoundly or play en-
Enthusiastically in many languages is
well known in the literary, scientific
and art centers of Washington.
The special feature of the evening
was the jota aragonesa. an early
Spanish dance. interpreted by Sonora
de Pillar Terror Moreno, an Arago-
naise, and Don Manuel Fraile, a Span
ish gentleman descended from the
ancient Moors, who also sang an
Arabic song.
Dr. Stafford gave a brief history of
Spanish music and dances. He spoke
of the influence of the Spanish music
in America. where the jotas, boleros
and fandangOs were transformed into
the runiba of Cuba and the Zamacueca
of Peru.
This interesting Spanish American
evening closed the series of out-of-
door entertainments at the Arts Club.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason - plain--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to "A medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example Dr. Kilmcr's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
