It was necessary for Premier Painleve to force the resignation of M. Ribot if he was to retain the support of the Radical Socialists who strongly opposed Ribot.

Opening to be Brilliant; Full Orchestra of SO to

Play

Richmond music-lovers generally have been free to express their delight in the program to be given in the Coliseum a week from next Wednesday night by the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra. This concert will open the musical season here and a brilliant opening, socially as well as artistically, is presaged. The inclusion of Victor Herbert's "Irish Rhapsody" on the Richmond program is in line with Dr. Kunwald's policy this year to read at least one American composer's work on every program. Herbert, while not a native American, is regarded as an American composer as all of his maturity has been passed in this country. While he is widly-known for his light opera compositions he also has wide vogue as a composer of more substantial works. His "Irish Rhapsody" is said - by those who have heard it, to be one of th3 most tuneful works of an American composer. Dr., Kunwald will play It this week in Cincinnati at the second pair of concerts. The entire program to be played here by the full orchestra of SO pieces will be one that will appeal to per

sons with even the most rudimentary musical education. The tunes all will be "whistle-able." The season ticket sale will end next Saturday night So far more than 800 tickets have been sold.

Mrs. Bessie Rhodehamel, of Easthaven avenue, this city, said she noticed improvement and felt better before she had taken all of her first bottle of Tanlac. "All of the first bottle of Tanlac wasn't gone yet when I began to feel better," Mrs. Rhodehamel said. "I had had a bad stomach for a long time. After eating my stomach would fill up with gas and sometimes I just felt like I'd smother. I usually felt bad for a long time after meals. I often had a weak feeling in my stomach, too, and at times I'd feel faint and exhausted. "My husband had tried Tanlac and it helped him so I decided to take it. My stomach is in better condition now although I haven't taken a full bottle of Tanlac yet The gas has disappeared from my stomach and the smothering spells are about all gone. The truth is that I feel better in every way and I'm ready to recommend Tanlac." Many Richmond men and women are taking Tanlac. If you are not feeling right why don't you try Tanlac and get your system back In shape? It will build you up and improve your

health just as it's doing for thousands j

of other weakened men. and women. Get Tanlac today at Clem Thistlethwaite's or any good drug store in Richmond.
