MEDFORD WAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1933. PAOF TTTRF.E BARRE -HILL GIVES MUSICAL TREAT IN SEASON'S WINDUP By Jeunesse Bntler. Sincerity, modesty, generosity. What more could one ask of an artist than the expression of such qualities? This writer Is nappy to record that sucn expression was the outstanding char acteristic of Barre-Blll. the young baritone who appeared last night In concert at the high school audito rium under .the auspices of the Civic Muslo association. After his first number, we under stood why Barre-Hlli liked Jazz and modern music and was honest enough to say so. In a previous Interview. He Is refreshingly genuine. Possesses a rather remarkable reality, in fact. We presume that is why. although pre senting a program which might be considered "light," the singer satis fied the musical sense, and did not send his audience home feeling some what famished, as did another singer during last, season's series. Barre-HlU may be termed a high baritone, although his deeper tones may come with the years, since he is still under 30. His range is Interest ing, and at times, approaches the tenor. His enunciation is excellent in a language (English) which would reveal imperfections, his phrasing original, and his use of pianissimo something for the aspiration of fel low artists. Having starred in opera, Barre-Hlli has that advantage over other con cert artists, since from that experi ence comes the ability to dramatize numbers, and this he does but never unpleasantly, and always within the proper confines, so to speak. 81nce his accompanist, Mr. Rafael ' Mertls, gave a group of four solos, with encores, he surely deserves more ' notice than Is usually accorded to those necessary but often neglected (by the reviewers) assistants. With the same facile technique of many another pianist, Mr. Mertls has ten derness of soul as well, and his Chopin was the familiar poet rather than the militant patriot. Honest, hard-working young men. these two, with their art coming first In their lives, one may be sure. Giv ing the last local concert of the year, they leave musical Medford In happy mood and with grateful memories. The concert grand, nlne-octae Baldwin piano from the Baldwin re cital hall, was used for the first time, the Instrument being one of three In the Pacific northwest.

Today It appeared the price of beer would be relatively expensive, com pared with pre-war d.ays, at least un til the novelty has worn off and a greater supply is available.

CARRIES ALL-BRAN ON EVERY VOYAGE Seaman Finds This Delicious Cereal Relieves Constipation Here is an unsolicited letter from Mr. Darragh: "I hove, been going to sea for the past fourteen years. Every trip, I underwent severe headaches, ner vousness, and sleeplessnes. Tried all sorts of remedies, and received only temporary relief. "So hearing about Kellogg's Alir Bkan thought I would get a box, which I did. That was six months ago, haven't been without it at home, and when I go to sea a box of Kellogg's All-Bran is always with me." George D. Darragh, 1911 82nd Avenue, Oakland, California. Tests show All-Bran contains two things for common constipa tion: "Bulk" to exercise the intes tines; vitamin B to help tone the intestinal tract. All-Bran also supplies iron for the blood. The "bulk" in All-Bran is much like that of lettuce. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. How much pleasanter this is than taking pills and drugs so often harmful. Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran daily will correct most types of constipation. If not re lieved this way, see your doctor. Serve as a cereal or use in cook ing. Get the red-and-green pack, age at your grocer's. Made b Kellogg in BsWc Creek.
