TINA LEANER CHARMING. To merely Hay that Tina Lerner the young Russian pianist, who appeared in recital last evening at the coliseum pleaued the audience assembled is putting it in a mild form. The young pianist who hag made her reputation on two continents is indeed a wonder. The program was changed a little on account of the illness of Miss Olive Kiler, a violinist of Indianapolis, who accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier of this city was to have appeared twice on the program. The program as given follows: Uluck-Saint-Saens Alceste Jirahms Intermezzo Mendelssohn Rondo Capriccioso ftlnie. Tina Lerner Chopin Prelude, F-sharp minor Nocturne, V major Waltz, A-flat major. Scherzo, H-flat minor Mme. Lerner MacDowell Witches Dance MeUl Nocturne Paganini-Liszt Etude Francisco Herger .... Witches' Frolic Liszt .Y. . "Meine Freuden" (Chopin) Liszt Rhapsodie No. 8 Mme. Lerner Tina Lerner's playing is indeed remarkable, her art being like herself, delicate and refined. . Her touch although light is very true and through her numbers runs a beautiful harmony which holds the listner spell bound. She received repeated applause after the rendition of each number. As was remarked last evening it would be difficult to choose any one number on the program seeming to please the most, as all the selections were played with equal ability. Tina Lerner's appearance In this city was a crowning success and was one of the most delightful and enjoyable musical events ever held in this city. A large number of persons from neighboring towns were in attendance. This was the second of a series of recitals given this season under the direction of Mr. Charlton and Mr. Edward Taylor of Indianapolis. The last recital will be given January nineteenth by Mr. David Bispha.ni, who Is famous the world over. This will be an evening of song. In addition to . his artistic singing he will roclte "Poe's Raven," to piano accompaniment.- - - . - tr V STAG PARTY.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 14. State Factory Inspector Blakely says in his annual report, which was sent to the public printer yesterday, that there ought to be a chance in the law under which punishment is meted out to fathers and mothers who make false affidavits aa to the age of their children

when the children go to work befor? they ara of the legal age that permits them to be out of school. He says that under the present conditions manv

false affidavits are made. Many fathers and mothers swear their children are over fourteen years of age when

they are not that old, and under this affidavit the children go to work in factories and other places. He says that if these parents are arrested and punished it means that they must go to jail for several days or weeks, and this

takes the principal bread winner out of the family and in many cases leaves the children destitute and helpless. Mr.

Blakely does not suggest a remedy, but says the question is a ridiculous one and that it should have attention. He says there should be some means of punishing a parent that makes such a false affidavit without sending him to

jail.

GIVE INSTRUCTIONS State Board of Accounts Communicates to Boards of Commissioners.

IN PURCHASING SUPPLIES Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 14. The state board of accounts has sent to county commissioners throughout the state, instructions concerning the annual purchase of county supplies. The same instructions have been sent to

county auditors. The letting of these contracts usually takes place late in December. The board suggests that in letting contracts bids on articles for which there will be no demand for the ensuing year be not considered. By this the board hopes to correct one of the most flagrant of the county contract letting evils. It has been a practice for bidders to send in very low on material for which there will be no call, and thus to make the totals of their bids fall low. Only bona fide prices should be considered, according to the circular. Necessity, cost and quality, the board recommends, should be the governing forces in the letting of contracts. The board also calls attentiou to the new form for bids, adopted some time ago, for all bids on nublic sun-

plies, with the permission that in tho bids the bidders may be allowed to explain their figures where prices differ in comparison with bids of previous years because of the changes in book forms to be used.

PROPRIETARY MEDICINE FRAUDS There have been plenty of them, no doubt, and they have been vigorously condemned so vigorously, that every sort of medicine, the formula of which is privately owned, is condemned and pronounced "unethical" by the Medical

Profession. Eckman's Alterative deserres attention, not because it is a "proprietary" but because it really has cured many cases of Tuberculosis. If it is a fraud it needs exposing badly, because a number of cured Consumptives will need to find some other reason for being well. Henry Clay said he would rather be

right than be President. Is it not better for Eckman's Alterative to make i

cuii than to be ethical? Weldon. 111.. Feb. 3, 1906. In July. 1900. my physician sent me to Texas, from there to Colorado. I became worse and was sent home to die. 1 heard of Eckman's Alterative, began treatment, and was cured. I earnestly recommend Eckm&n's wonderful core for Consumption. (Signed affidavit) Arthur Webb. Eckman's Alterative is good for all thro t and lung troubles, and is on sale at A. O. I.ukrn & Co. and other drusr -

grists. Ask for booklet of cured oases. I write to Kckman Mfg. Co., Pnila., Pa. i

Norway packs fifty million tins of

sardines a year. On account of the high price of olive oil the Swedish ; factories have been experimenting with i

American cottonseed oil with which to immerse the sardines in the tins. Experts who have tried the two kindsone in olive, the other In cottonseed oil have been unable to detect which was which, so probably it will not be long before we Yankees are eating Swedish sardine packed in American oil.

Better Follow Anty Drudge's Advice.

Mrs. Newbride ' "Yes, but this s the way mother washed. She always said to boil the clothes good and long." nty Drudge "Yes. and your mother wore hoopskirts, and a poke bonnet, and did her sewing by hand, when she was young. But I don't see you doing those things. Take my advice and use Fels-Naptha soap in cold or lukewarm water. Those pretty white hands will last longer and so will your health." Every woman inherits certain ways of doing housework from her mother as the mother did from her grandmother. One of these ideas from ancient times concerns the washing of clothes. 4 Boil 'em, Boil 'cm good," is the old tradition. Until the invention of Fels-Naptha soap that was the only way to wash. Now, isn't it foolish to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing them hard, when a way to wash better in cold or lukewarm water with no hard rubbmg has been found? Clothes last longer with no boiling tq weaken their fibre. Every progressive woman is glad to get rid of the hot fire, steam &nd suds, as well as the back-breaking work of hard rubbing. But there's a right way and a wrong way to use Fels-Naptha. Start right. Follow the directions on the wrapper and you'll have a better, easier, cleaner way of washing. For other reasons which are explained on the red and green wrapper, Fels-Naptha is just as superior for all kitchen purposes as it is for washing.
