FRANCES INGRAM TO OPEN LYCEUM COURSE FRIDAY

Prima Donna Concerito [?] of the Chicago Opera Company, Frances Ingram, Has Received Many Complimentary Press Notices - Will Sing Many Delightful Numbers on Her Program Here.

Frances Ingram prima donna concerito, of the Chicago Opera Co. will be heard in G.W.C. Friday night beginning at 8 o'clock. Miss Ingram will have as her accompanist Arthur Fraum[?] who is said to be not only a fine accompanist but a brilliant pianist. Mr. Fram[?] will appear on the program in a piano number. Those desiring season lyceum tickets may secure them from Carpenter[?] Blue[?]. Each season ticket carries the privilege of a reserved seat to each attraction. Doubtless Miss Ingram will be heard by a very large audience. There will be 15 numbers this season in the lyceum course.

Miss Ingram will sing some very delightful songs on her program here. Among them will be an apetatis[?] air[?] from "Samson and Delilah."

Says E. C. Moore, music eritie[?] of the Chicago Daily Journal:

"When that radiant voice began to fill the hall more than one auditor[?] who up to that time had taken only a cursory interest in the proceedings, began to straighten up in his seat and pay closer attention to the musis."

"More than a demonstration of vocalism appeared here, though Miss Ingram's voice is of a rarely beautiful type. It is a [blurred] centration[?] strikingly sympathetic of great range and power. With no morethan this, she hearer[?] might well remain cold. She has in addition an extrodinary personality, the ability to lift the auditor out of himself, and this is a gift worth more than much gold. She is a remarkable artist and there is plenty of room in the world of music for such a one" - The Daily Journal.

ROAD TO HEALTH IS THROUGH KIDNEYS

No person alive is stronger than his kidneys. The minute the kidneys become disarranged or clogged with waste the warning is flashed throughout the entire system. The greater part of all sickness today can be avoided by keeping the kidneys working properly.

Carpenter Bros., the popular druggists, can tell you of many wellknown people in this city whom Sol vax, the standard kidney remedy, has restored to health, often after they have tried many other methods of treatment with little or no benefit.

There are hundreds of people in Greenville who were not the least bit surprised when they read in the Piedmont that Carpenter Bros. are selling Solvax on a guarentee to refund the money in case it did not [blurred]. This remarkable kidney remedy is guaranteed to help the worst case of lazy, sluggish, or clogged-up kidneys, or the general headachy, kinkybacked[?], played-out condition that afflicts people suffering with kidney trouble. Solvax does not simply relieve, it aims to cure.

No other kidney remedy has made such a large percentage of cures as Solvax. It is so large that Carpenter Bros. is perfectly safe in standing ready to refund the price to any customer whom it does not help. This is a good time to get well and you ought to take advantage of Carpenter Bros offer. -Adv-
