at the same time benefit and build up the system and general health. No
harmful effects ever follow its use, as is so often the case when strong min
eral medicines are used. , As soon as the system gets under the influence of

Evening Muxlrale.
One of the moat delightful musi
cal es given this season was rendered
last evening In the club parlors by' the
members of the Lyle Taesday Musl
cale. The program was arranged by
and given under the direction of Mes
dames A. L. Richardson and O. E.
Sllverthom. Regardless of the In
clemency' of the elements, the capacity
of the parlors was severely taxed to
accommodate the large number of ap
preciative music lovers who braved
the annoyance of the storm to listen
to the- promised program. The pro
gram was an especially strong one,
and reflected great credit upon the
ladles responsible for its arrange
ment and its rendition. The opening
number, by the Mandolin club, "Re
membrances of Mexico," was ar
ranged for the occasion by C. Reba
giiatl, the noted Portland musician,
and was heartily encored, as was also
all the succeeding numbers. The
ulk, "Music in the Philippines," by
George Cochran, was a real treat, and
one which will be long remembered
by all who heard it, as not only high
ly entertaining, but Instructive. Spe
cial mention should also be made of
the ladles' chorus. The finished
manner in which they rendered the
"Daffodils," by King Hall, was not
only a credit to the singers, but also
to their instructress, Mrs. Silver
thorn. At the CI cover Home.

Vfl ' afternoon each guest was provided
with tlaA nan rt VArtnua hllpH And
requested to construct her Easter
bonnet from the same. Here the la
dles were right at home and soon each
head was adorned with a creation
such as had never been dreamed of
before. Mrs. Turner Oliver, how-
... ever, secured the prise, and after the
