The cause! Dirt, waste not re-
moved and buried. or otherwise de-
stroyed. Now don't waste time in
trying to find out the cause of those
dirt diseases prevailing, but so to
work and remove the waste, sweeten
the soil and air with lime. Better
examine the dairy farm, cattle and
the water used. This is the foun-
tain head. Arise, awake out of

the music for beauty of movement
and tone effects and the words for
poetic excellence. 1t has all the ele-
ments of a successful ballad, and since
the general public has begun to show
its disgust at being flooded with
coon" songs, a beautiful descriptive
song like Darling Lenore is bound to
be given place.
The theme is pathetic, yet hopeful
and comes like balm to those who
have faced deep sorrow. 1t originated
in the peculiarly touching death of a
young lady, betrothed: who. like
GladstOne'S lost sweetheart. Julia.
seemed to remain in the spirit ever
near her earthly lover becoming, as
he believed, his guardian angel, often
warning MIN OF approaching danger.
Both words and music were written
by Halbert L. Hoard, a son of former
Governor Hoard, and one of the
publishers CT HOard's Dairyman,
Fort Atkinson, Wis. The complete
song (25c net may be obtained of him
or Of the publishers, The Windsor
Music Co., Chicago and New York,
through our local music dealers.
