know of no man OF music in America
who has been growing laurels more
rapidly these last eight years than this
same John Philip Sousa. Indeed am
inclined to think that he is the only
man who has written music that is

goes, but that is the music that lives,
that music of the people. What is

the folk music OF southern Italy? What
gives Bizst's Carmel" it's persistent
vitality but that old Spanish waltz song
which is it's central motif? Just street
song Of Seville. mind you, that many a

that it is against Mr. Sousa that his
music thrills and tingles with the
nervous vivacity Of the American people.

Nor is it quite fatal to his reputation
as a composer that the rewsboys
whistle his marches everywher,. There
is music, just as there is poetry, which
appeals alike to the many and the few.

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK

agent will yet be found that shall 81 returd
those changes that bring about old age rs
to prolong human life much beyond Its
present limit
Acting perhaps. upon the impulse pro-
ducGd by this thought, many eminent
physicians have called from time to time
upon the Shakers Of Mt Lebanon to in
quirc of them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants, in which these sincere,
Supplemented and Gud-fearing people
arc known to DO wise and skillful beyond
all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable Information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use of. The most important
point was that il genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion and
dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out
Of it, IL long step would be taken in the
right direction. Old age said these ply
sirians begins in failure Of tho digestion,
and 50 do most diseases at any and all
periods of life The result of these con-
SITUATIONS was the discovery by the
Shakers Of the desired specific, made
wholly from herbs, and now known rs
the Shaker Digestive CORDIAL. Its action
is magical and worthy OF iti origin,
Where there is distress after eating,
heart burn, sick headache, bad taste in
the mouth. bliOusne,s, weakness aud
weariness, cold hands and feet, aversion
to food nervousness or any other symp-
tom Of dyspepsia the Cordial will provo

ed or deceived their fellow men.
In order tnlrst whether this remedy Is
