THE FAMISH CONCERT
Miss Florida Leslie Parrish, assisted
by Mrs. Laura fltevens-Boone,pianist,
and Mrs. Evans, reader, gave a con-
cert whioh attracted an appreciative
audience at the High School audito
rium Friday evening. Miss Parrish,
who needs no introduction to the Pal-
acios public, threw herself into her
songs with that enthusiasm whioh al-
ways characterises her singing. On
this occasion her tinging, too, was a
thing of beauty. The ease and aim
pliolty other style,combined with the
dearness and parity of her tones act-
ed like,a charm on her hearers. Her
program inoluded German, French,
Italian and English songs interpreted
artistically with effective tone ooloring
and thoughtful conception.
Mrs. Boone wii heard here for the
first time and was received with gen-
uine enthusiasm: Her number was
executed with an unerring technical
grasp and she Infuses her accompani-
ments with poetic charm and virility
which are the marks of her individual-
ity. Mrs. Evans charmed her hearers
with a reading, “The Spanish Gipsy,”
and responded to a hearty encore.
The program was as follows:
Italian Arias
Bolero (“II Lombardi”) Verdi
Oaro Mlo Ben Papini
Visa! D’Arte (“La Tosca”) Puccini
Reading
‘'The Spanish Gipsy” George Eliot
Modern Songs,(American Composers)
The Nightingale has a Lyre of Gold
Whepley
The Birth of Ifprn Leonl
Come Down, Laughing Streamlet

DONTTAKE CALOMEL,'
HERE’S A BETTER REMEOY
Taking calomel is mighty risky and
often dangerous.
Yon ought to get along without tak-
ing calomel yourself or giving it to
yonr family, when yon can get a rem
edy that takeB its place. Dodson’s
Liver Tone Is an agreeable vegetable
liquid that starts the liver to eotion
just as surely es calomel does. But
unlike calomel, Dodson’s Liver Tone
does not stimulate the liver too much.
It gives relief instantly. Calomel aots
so Strongly that it may leave you
worse than you worn at first, and cal-
omel also sometimes causes salivation.
Dodson’s Liver Tone works wells and
neyer harms.
, A large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone is sold by the Palacios Drug Co.
It always has given suoh perfect satis-
faction that your money will be re-
funded to you at once with a
smile if you buy a bottle and are
not perfectly satisfied with it in every
way.
