John McCormack, the
Great Singer and Pa
triot, Acclaimed
O the thousands of admirers and
friends in America of the great
“ Irish singer, John McCormack,
who was heard in Birmingham last
December for the first time present
ed by the "All Star Concerts" the
news of his illness and his subse
quent recovery has been a matter
of great concern.
Here in Birmingham—"he came
and saw and conquered"—by the
sheer magic of his beautiful voice—
and he added hundreds of admirers
to his .already long list, not alone
because of his matchless art and
God-given talent, but because of his
personality—his big generous nature
and the "human” angle of the man
which was so appealing.
Those here who had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. McCormack had also
the pleasure of realizing that the
man's heart is as big as^his body,
and that his kindness and generosity
with his beautiful voice is exceeded
only by his great art and during
the late world war when he was
"commanded" Ify Woodrow Wilson
then President of the United States
of America to remain in this coun
try during that period feeling as he
(Mr. Wilson) did that Mr. McCor
mack could do more with his excep
tional voice toward helping the war
than by going overseas, the great
singer out of the wealth of his mar
velous talent was the means of rais-„
Ing thousands upon top of thou
sands of dollars for America lo
"carry on" the war with.
The "press” all over the world
has spoken the sentiments of the
millions during Mr. McCormack’s re
cent illness, the love in which he
is held and the appreciation which
his efforts in behalf of America have
called forth and among the com
ments is an "editorial" in the New
York Herald of April 19, which
said, in part:
"The news of John McCormack's
mending health, will bring genuine
relief to a larger circle of admirers
than any other singer now before
the public can boast of having. He
is the singer of the people. He has,
to be sure, appeared with success in
opera. He has been a soloist with
symphonic orchestras. He has con
tributed to the extremely musical
concerts organized by professionals
for the glorification of their art. But
Ft is as the singer of the people’s
songs that he has made his far
reaching fame. So, while he woos
the senses with his incomparable
tones, he has always stimulated the
taste by bis addition of some riusic
of the highest class to every con
cert. This program he has carried
almost with the thoroughness of
1 i opaganda. No other singer has
done so much to introduce the high
est kind of music into the small and
outlying towns which are eager to
hear him. The popular numbers of
his programs ar6, to be sure, In their
place of importance. But he always
adds as well a classical number.
On subsequent visits the classical
features of the program are likely
to be more numerous. This has al
ways been his rule. It Is not prob
able that it will be changed in the
future.
"His popularity was greatly in
creased by the generosity with
which he put his gifts and his art
at the disposal of the country during
the war. No other singer was more
generous. He was unflagging in
organizing concerts whenever they
were needed. Nor cyfl he confine
himself t© aiding t*?» good works of
any one creed or race. Already ad
mired as their singer, the people
vtLT\
came to love John MccormacK as a
patriot. So the news of his ap
proaching recovery will carry cheer
to thousands who will be more eager
than ever to sit under his artistic
ministrations.”
The New York Evening Mail says:
"Let ui hope that John Mc
Cormack will soon be able to sing
to us again. Whoever has not
heard McCormack sing ‘The Star
Spangled Banner’ has never heard
that immortal anthem really sung.
And we like to think that McCor
mack sings it so well because. In
addition to his glorious voice, he
has proved himself the type of real
man—good husband, good father,
good citizen—that this country ad
mires. A greal artist, he has shown
that temperament and virtue can
inhabit the same corporeal dwelling
if the heart and mind are clean."

Shame on Them.
pERHAPS there are a few mothers who do not know the virtues of Fletcher’s
Castoria. Perhaps there are a few who know that there are imitations on'
the market, and knowing this demand Fletcher’s. It is to ALL motherhood, then,
that we call attention to the numerous imitations and counterfeits, that may be
set before them.
It is to all motherhood everywhere that we ring out the warning to bewaro
of the “Just-as-good”. For over thirty years Fletcher’s Castoria has been an aid
in the upbuilding of our population; an aid in the saving of babies.
And yet there are those who would ask you to try something new= Try
this. Try that. Even try the same remedy for the tiny, scarcely breathing, babe
that you in all your robust womanhood would use for yourself. Shame on them.

CASTORIA
Your Friend, the Physician.
The history of all medicines carries with it the story of battles
against popular beliefs: fights against prejudice: even differences ol
opinion among scientists and men devoting their lives to research work;
laboring always for the betterment of mankind. This information
Is at the hand of all physicians. Be is with you at a moment's call
be the trouble trifling or great. He is your friend, your household
counselor. He is the one to whom you can always look for advice
even though it might not be a case of sickness. Be is not just a
doctor. He is a student to his last and final call. His patients are
his family and to lose one is little less than losing one of his own
flesh and blood.
Believe him when he tella you—as he will—that Fletcher'i
Castoria has never harmed the littlest babe, and that it is a good
thing to keep in the house. He knows.

I was advised by
a friend. Mrs.

use of these medicines that I was able
to be up and about in two weeks. I
was at the Change of Life when I be

over that time without any trouble.
Now I am hale and hearty, do all my
housework, washing; ironing, scrub

about a house, and can walk two or
