SOCIAL AND PER
SPLENDID REHEARSAL OF
IDE CHORAL SOCIETY
Two Hundred and Six Members At
tended Last Night's Practice—Dr.
J. Fred Wolle. Director, Very Much
Pleased With the Work
The largest attendance and the best
Tehearsal of the Choral Society this
year wa» held in Fahnestock hall last
right. Two hundred and six members
were in their seats by 8 o'clock and
the rehearsal continued until 10.15.
Every number in Handel's "Samson,"
the work which the Society is studying,
was rehearsed and special attention
was given to shading and attacks. The
•Society now knows the work by heart
so that the remaining rehearsals will
lie given over to finishing touches and
polishing. All the parts are well bal
anced and especially strong.
Dr. Wolle, the Society's conductor,
instilled much enthusiasm into ttae
members. As each chorus was sung
better than the Society had sung it be
fore, Dr. Wolle would enthusiastically
cry out "Fine, members, fine; now
sec if you can do the next number' as
well." This kept the members con
stantly on the alert during the entire
rehearsal and all were at their best!
Grip colds which had affected a
number of members during the winter
were forgotten and all were enthusi
astic and earnest in their - work.
The members of the Society are de
lighted with Handel's "Samson." It
is a work of much harmony and in
tensely dramatic. The striking contract
between solos and tremenduous chor
uses make the work most attractive to
both the singer and the hearer, and it
is certain that the audience will be
charmed with this Oratorio, which has
never been rendered in Harrisburg.
The sustaining and honorary mem
hers tickets were mailed to-day. Many
inquiries have already been made rela
tive to the concerts and all indications
fKiinl to crowded houses at the Ma
jestic Theatre on Thursday, April 29.
The afternoon concert will begin at 3
o'clock and the evening cohcert at
»
8.15. Dr. Woile predicts that this
year's concert will be better than last
which was his first year with the So
ciety.
At the rehearsal last night J)r.
Decevee told of his trip to Philadel
phia with the loving cup to Dr. W. W.
Gilchrist and of how thankful and
how appreciative Dr. Gilchrist and his
family were for the magnificent re
membrance of the Choral Societv.

How Fat Folks
May Become Slim
A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way That
Calls for No Drastic Diet, or
Tiresome Exercises
To be excessively fat is very mortify
ing. People who are too stout are
mighty sensitive on this subject. Style
and fat folks are strangers. Therefore
people who are carrying around a bur
den of unhealthy and unsightly fat will
I be glad to know that they can reduce
their weight without starvation diet or
tiresome exercises.
If you have been getting too stout of
late and want to reduce your weight in
a simpe, safe and reliable way, spend as
much time as you can in the open air,
practice deep breathing and get from
any good druggist a box of oil of korcin
capsules; take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself once a week so as to
know just how fast you are losing
weight, and don't leave off the treat
ment or even skip a single dose until
you are down to normal.
Oil of korein is absolutely harmless,
is pleasant to take, helps digestion,
costs little and is designed to reduce
fatty accumulations in the system wher
ever located.
Even a few days treatment should
9how a noticeable reduction in weight,
the flesh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health improved.
In fact your footsteps should even be
come lighter, your work seem easier and
a lighter and more buoyant feeling take
possession of your whole being.
Every, person who is ten or fifteen
pounds over normal weight should give
this treatment a trial. YOII will prob
ably find it is just what you need.—

RESCUE MISSION TO MOVE
Institution's New Headquarters on
South Second Street Will Be Oc
cupied Saturday
After this week, the City Rescue
Mission will be better situated to carry
on the work for which it organized,
to care for the down and out classes
not rea-che-i by the churches. On Satur
day the Mission will move its head
quarters from 5 North Fifth street to
107 1-2 South Second street, where
much larger premises have been rented
and fitted up. The new headquarters
have the additional advantage of be
ing more centrally located, being with
in a square of Market square and only
two squares from Police Headquarters
with which the mission co-operates in
caring for transitory "down and outs"
who need help.

Griffith Jones, superintendent, the at
tendance at the evening meetings was
1,709 last month, this month so far it
has reached nearly one thousand. Feb
ruary as the high water mark for con
verts, 77 being recorded, while last
month there were 55 and 36 so far
this month have "hit the trail." These
are for the most part inen. On the
more practical side of the mission work
may be noticed the fact that in Feb
ruary 752 meals were served, free of
any charge and no requirement but
hunger, 679 in March and about 300
this month, the applicants dropping off
as the better weather advances.
During February and March about
one hundred pieces of clothing and
twenty pairs of shoes, some worn and
some new, were distributed. This month
there have been 15 pieces of clothing
and 5 pairs of shoes given to needy
men.
The mission holds an evangelistic
meeting at headquarters every evening.
The new headquarters has accommoda
tion for an audience of about 200 on
the main floor. This floor is also fitted
with bathroom and lavatory, a room,
for making coffee or soup, and also the
superintendent's office. The clothing
store room is situated in the basement.
While removal will be made to the new
headquarters on Saturday,-the official
opening will not "be held until a later
date.
The officers and Board of Directors
of the mission are as follows: James W.
Barker, president; Luther Minter, vice
president; William O. Hean, secretary;
