Brick walls need never be painted,
Even the wood work-such as doors and
window frames in the brick home require
painting only half as often as a frame
house because of less exposure-they are
protected by the face of the wall.
Consider how brick saves you money.
The painted house should be repainted
every two or three years to keep up its ap-
pearance and retard decay. The painting
cost for the average house is about $500.
1t is safe to say an average brick home
would mean a saving of at least $50 every
year.
Consider this saving, and the other saw
fngs Of the brick home, less repairs, less de-
probation, less heating, and it's clear that
the brick home is by far the most economi-
cal home. At the same time it is the warm
est, dryest and most comfortable home that
you can build.

SOCIE E T Y
Madame Aida Popular Here Socially And
 MuSically

When Madame Aida and Mir. Hack ett are heard In the dedication of the Phillips auditorium on Friday eve ming, October 12, presented by the All Star concerts, musically as well as socially new honors will be lavished upon these two great artists for upon them has been bestowed the great compliment of Cedicating The Temple ot Music" in Birmingham.
 Not only does Madame Frances Aida the world renowned lyric so- prano of the Metropolitan opera cor ral about her the smartest and the most exclusive society people in New York on account of her loVely voice and great social gifts, but as the wife of MT. Gratti Casazza' the director of the Metropolitan opera she adds a wider circle of frlends'
 No social gathering in the Four Hundred is complete without Madame Aida and her distinguished husband. her charm and grace adding to any occasion, and her exquisite gowns, her handsome jewels make her an admired figure always.
 During Madame Aida last Vlslt to Birmingham she was beautifully entertained and those who were fortunate enough to meet her were charmed by her grace and cordiallty.
 No less figure in the social life of New York, Paris. London and Buenos Aires, is MT. Charles Hackett the handsome, elegane looking tenor whom the critics abroad have chris tened "America's Caruso."
 Mr. Hackett has a wonderful home in New York where he and his lovely wife entertain lavishly
 Madame Aida and MT. Hackett both arrived from Europe the past week, Madame Aida bringing a hand some Partisan wardrobe and the gowns that she will wear at her concert here will be the envy of wo- men in the brilliant audience.
 Birmingham and vicinity will don its best bib and tucker for the oc- casion of the dedication concert at the Phillips auditorium, which will be a brilliant musical and social af- fair. Madame Aida and MT. Hack cit send word ahead that they will present their best program, one of the inmitable features being the famous duet for soprano and tenor from Madame Butterfly"
 Of Madame Aldas personality and singing one of her critic has said
 Tt can be seen, that even SD charming and accomplished a so- to step upon the stage to win her audience, could not fail to be in spired to do her utmost and su perb performance it was: in concert as in opera she sings all too rarely! She has one of the richest and most beautiful of lyric voices. and leaving to one side all questions of rival methods she uses it very finely, easily and effectively. with a con- siderable range of tone color and an even greater range of emotional ex- pression, Her two big arias by Boito and Puccini were, of course, the climax, but there was much de- lightful singing in both her groups of songs"

Simple Way to Get
 Rid of BIackheads

There is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads, that is to dissolve them. To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on hot. wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads. little blackheads, no mat ter where they are. simply dissolve and disappear. Backheads are simply mix ture of dust and dirt and secretions that form in the pores of the skin. The calo- nite powder and the water dissolve the backheads so they wash right out. leav- ing the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.-Adv.
