The misuse of the title professor, /"
when it is applied indiscriminately to
musicians in general, finds AN amusing
example in the following story, credited
to Bandmaster Sousa and printed in
The Musical Age:
Some years ago Sousa was leading a
band at small country festival. The
advent of the band had been awaited
with intense interest by the audience,
and when they arrived the bandsmen
were quickly surrounded by surging
crowd which hemmed them in so that
1t was difficult for them to keep ON
playing.
Sousa appealed to one of the commit
tee to keep the crowd away and said
that unless his men had more room they
could not play. The committeeman
shook his hand warmly, and, turning to
the assembled multitude, bawled out:
Gentlemen, step back and give the
purfesser' S purfessers a chance to playl"

1t Does Not Crave Condiments. but the
Food Must Possess Flavor.
While a perfectly sound and healthy
palate does not crave for condiments,
even prefers to do without them, yet
the majority Of digestions require to be
humored and kept in order, and their
peculiarities must be studied. DR. Brun-
ton says:
"Savory food causes the digestive
juices to be freely secreted. Well cooked
and palatable food is therefore more di-
gestible than the unpalatable If food
lacks SAVIOR, a desire naturally arises tC
supply it by condiments, not always
we'll selected or wholesome.
AS commerce brought them within
reach Of the people condiments, in sim
pie or complicated forms, came greatly
into favor, and foreign spices were add
ed to the wild herbal growths of the
fields and hedges. In our early history
the "spicery" was a special department
of the court and had its proper officers.
In the fourteenth century spices were
both costly and rare, most Of them com
ing from the Levant Chaucer mentions
many by name-canella, macys, cloves
(cloves), grains of paradise, nutmegs.
caraway and spikenard The ancients,
especially the Greeks and Romans in
the luxurious period of their history,
used condiments very freely.
An old English historian, referring
to the earlier Roman court, says, "The
best magistrates Of Rome allowed but
the ninth day for the city and publick
business, the rest for the country and
the sallet garden" From this it would
seem as though the education of taste
was accounted of some consequence in
those days. s.--Exchange

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctOred too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized If you need
medicine you should have the best.
