TETRAZZINI AND LUCIA.

l When Madame Luisa Tetrazzini the Queen of Song makes her premier bow to Birmingham on Friday evening, Feb , ruary II in the initial programme of the "midwinter festival of music" to be followed the next day, Saturday, Febru- ary 12, by the Minneapolis Symphony or chestra, with MT. Emil Oberhoffer as conductor, in matinee and evening pro- gramme music lovers will hear voice.
 which, like Paths and Galli-Curci's, is heard only once during generation.
 Madame Tetrazzinis voice is God-given like Caruso's--pure gold and of exquisite
 quality, and she has the distinction Of
 being one of the few coloratura so-
 pranos who can sing the Bell Song
 from "Lakme," and such pyrotechnicai
 musical compositions without transposi- tion from the original score.
 The flute is scarcely distinishable
 from Madame Tetrazzini's voice in the famous mad scene" from Lucia, :. which she will sing here, for the Queen of Song literally outsngs the lark or the nightingale, and arouses her audi ences to a wild pitch of excitement. Her clear, flexible tones of wonderful sweet ness and brilIiancy vie with the flute in intricate cadenzas and astounding vocal climaxes. With facile ease she mounts the vocal scale, till she reaches the great high "C." Here it would seem that the
 human voice is not capable of higher flights, but while the auditor sits spell bound, as it were, the glorious tones soar higher till with a eliminating crescendo of vocality the "E'' in altissimo rings out with surpassing clarity. It is note that for beauty of timbre. surety of at- tack and volume of tone has never been excelled by any cantatrice, aA4

 Honey, girl, am going with Billy
 Sands and a bunch of the boys up Bay Shore way duck hunting tomorrow and
 won't be home till next day" l Are they going to take their wives? asked Imogene.
 Why, no,' said Andrew, you do not l like duck hunting" "Do you know positively that these men are not going to take their .wives?'' persisted Imogene.
 Why, no. not positively said Andrew. But I am sure they are not, for never knew women to go on .one of these duck hunts"
 "But did you ask them?" she insisted. "I did not" said Andrew. You go ahead and make your arrange ments for nice trip, you come home and announce it and yet you confess that you never even thought of me n the. whole matter. Andrew. do you really love me or do you keep on telling me so as matter of habit?'
 Why. honey. of course love you.' he said. T am as crazy over you this minute as ever was in my life! love the ground you walk on and every place your pretty little feet have stood I wan. to mark with big s. s. to show that 1t is a sacred spot!'
 But you didn't think of me when you were fixing up this pleasure trip!' satc Imogene with pathos.
 Why, honey" said Andrew worried. TT knew you would not shoot duck on a bet; knew that you did not care for excursions of this character and. of course, I did not consider you"
 Just simply forgot that you had wife!" said lmogene sniffing.
 Nov tell the truth" said Andrew. "If these men had been taking their wives and had made Arrangements for you to go. would you have gone?"
 Certainly not!" said Imogene with disdain.

Simple Application That Dissolyes
 Blackheads

No more squeeizng and pinching to get rid of those unsightly blemishes, black heads There is one simple, safe and sure way to get them out and that is to dis solve them To do this just get about two ounces of calonite powder from your drug gist-sprinkle little on hot, wet sponge rub briskly over the blackheads for few seconds-wash the parts and every black head will be gone.
 Pinching and squeezing out blackheads make large pores and you cannot get all of the blackheads out this way--while this simple application of calonite powder and water dssolves every particle of them and leaves the skin and pores in their natural condition. Any druggist will sell you the saionite powder and about two ounces will be all you will ever need-Adv.

We, for one, are heartily in favor of
petitioning the County Commission
ers, to call special election to vote
on the proposition of bonding the
county anywhere from SI7b,000 to
100000 for the purpose of refund
ing our outstanding warrant indebt
edness. With such bond issue the
county should be placed on strictly
cash basis. County warrants should
be worth par, and our interest charge
on outstanding obligations should be
reduced from one to two per cent. 1t
would give us period of years in
which to pay of our Indebtedness that
we incurred while the county was yet
young and the taxable property had
not yet reached normal limit.
We are in favor of calling such an
election on the same date of the spring
primary election, so that the expense
of voting on this bond proposition
may be reduced to the minimum.
We feel confident that such a move
wouiu meet with the hearty approval
of great majority of our people,
Right here we might also state that
If the county is put on a cash basis
through tond issue, that we also
strongly favor the adoption of some
sort of budget system, for running
the county's business, and thus safe
guard us from running into debt "a
gain-in otherwords gauge our expend
tures by our receipts.
