MONDAY, APRIL ", 1919.
FAMOUS BAND
IS COMING HERE
TO CHAUTAUQUA
Kryl and his famous band, a musi
cal pageant entitled “War, Victory and
Peace,” a grand opera star, a debate
on government ownership—these are
but a few of the attractions of the
1919 Redpath Chautauqua scheduled
to appear here April 25—May 2. The
entire seven days’ program is replete
with features of compelling interesf
and timeliness.
“The League of Nations,” “The Free
dom of the Seas,” and other down-to
the-minute topics each finds a place in
keeping up the reputation of the Chau
tauqua as a powerful factor for en
lightenment on public problems.
The Orchestral Sextette will be the
attraction on the first afternoon.
While the ensemble work of the
sextette is a delightful part of the
program the work of artists in solos,
duets, trios and quartets is equally
notable.
“Getting Together” will be the title
of lecture on the opening night by
Miss Ada Ward, dynamic, eloquent
Englishwoman, who arrived in Ameri
ca from France and Germany with a
wonderful story of present day condi
tions in Europe, just in time to begin
her Chautauqua tour. Incidentally
Miss Ward will tell of some of her ex
periences entertaining the "Tommies”
at the front.
An eloquent plea for friendship be
tween America and France and a study
o f world problems is presented at night,
on the second day by Capt. Paul Peri
gord of the French Army. Capt Peri
gord is one of the 1500 survivors of the
6000 French heroes who made the last
stand at Verdun. He was several
times wounded and five times decora
ted for gallantry.
In the afternoon of the second day
Marie Rose hauler, young French
woman, who was captured by the Ger
mans in Belgium, escaped, was re
captured and finally released, will
speak on “The Spirit of the Women
of France.”
Both afternoon and night of the sec
ond day the Harvesters, a company of,
three, presenting costumed sketches, !
will give a thirty minute prelude. I
Their programs comprise a pleasing
variety of classical and popular vocal I
and instrumental music and readings, j
The Culp String Quartet, which will
be heard on the third day, has elab-|
lished itself as an important factor in
the musical life of the Middle West. l
The organization is noted for that'
spontaneity and freedom of interpreta- ’
tion which is the distinguishing fea
ture of Chamber music at its best.
Mme. Augusta Lenska, prima donna
contralto, will appear with the Culp
Quartet at night on the third day. She
has scored notable successes in New
York, Chicago and European musical
centers and is not only a highly es
teemed grand opera singer but has
received highest praise as a concert
and oratorio singer.
A debate by noted men on “Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads” will be
a feature of the fourth day program.
This is a subject concerning which all
Americans should be informed and the
Redpath management has selected as
debaters men who possess compre
hensive expert information o n ths
question and are also master of
forensic oratory. The debate will
take place at night and in the after
noon Charles Zeublin, who will take
the affirmative side on the debate,
will give his lecture on “The Great
Highway,” touching on the freedom of
the seas and other vital themes. Mr.
Zeublin has spent his life studying na
tional and international problems.
Twice before Bohumir Kryl has
made a tour with his band of the big
seven day Redpath Chautauqua cir
cuit. Both tours were so wonderfully
successful that ever since there have
been repeated requests for Mr. Kryl
and his band to go over the circuit
again. This year the Redpath is happy
to announce the engagement of Mr.
Kryl and his band. Inasmuch as so
many Chautauqua patrons know the
high quality of music to be expected
from the Kryl Band there is no ques
tion but what band day, the fifth day
of the Chautauqua, will be one of the
big days of the entire week.
The musical pageant “War, Victory
and Peace” will be a feature of the
night program given J)y Kryl and his
band. The strife and stress < ? war,
the advent of victory‘and the joys of
peace are all set forth in a sketch
made notable by a rare combination

“The League of Nations’ is discussed
in a great lecture by R. E. P. Kline
on the sixth afternoon. “The New Com

the law of the high cost of hate, and
the profitableness of just dealing is
vividly portrayed. The relations be

Pure entertainment features have
their rightful place on the program.
Among the entertainers is Noah Beil

Mr. Addison I. Williams, Box 1054,
Sanford, Fla., writes Tyrrell’s Hy

lows:
“Regarding the ‘J. B. L. Cascade,’ I
feel it is one of the indispensable arti
cles and should be in every home. I
have not taken $lO worth of medicine
since obtaining it—about 9 years.”
You can be free of biliousness and
constipation, with all the ills which
they produce, by an occasional inter
nal bath. The ‘J. B. L. Cascade’ ad
ministers scientifically, it being an in
vention of Chas. A. Tyrrell, M. D., of
New York, for 25 years i. specialist o*»

By the proper application of Na
ture’s cure—warm water—it keeps the
lower intestine free of all poisonous
waste and permits every function to
work in harmony and without clog
ging—hence makes one consistently
bright, capable and well.
Americus Drug Co.. Americus, Ga„
will be glad to show and explain
the “J. B. L. Cascade” to you, and

CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-

Meadorsvllle, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat,
rick, of this place, writes: "I waa
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de
cided to try IL I found It just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was in good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black,
Draught for it is the finest laxative
one can use.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in its action, leaving no
bad after-effects, it has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used
