 A New York throat specialist who Is | professionally familiar with MT. Bry
 ans voice. declares it is absolutely inn possible for him to suffer d giving
 out"
 MT. Bryan is too adept to have any | fear of his voice giving out, " said the doctor. There isn't one little trick or
 art known to the orator for the protec- l tion of his voice that MT Bryan is not ! perfectly familiar with and which he
 does not practice as occasion demands. l He realizes now the great secret of how
 to save his voice and to husband its | strength.
 Several years ago he did not do this, | but often after making q speech would
 engage in conversation. He soon found
 out, as every one else will find. that he | must not speak one word to anybody when he has finished his speech, but
 must retire as soon as possible. if it is
 night, or if daylight that he must take proper nourishment and allow his
 voice a complete rest for several hours l at least.
 Any one who is compelled to do a great deal of talking, whether candi-
 date, public reader or school teacher,
 ought first to understand thoroughly | the physiology of the throat and nose. | The so-called breaking down is sim ply and easily explained. The speak | CTS mouth. as a rule, being open. and | respiration taking place more through 1 the mouth than through the nose, in | fammation is liable to take place in ! ] lars, and then a little later, just below the vocal cords, the resonance of the
 voice depending upon the resonators- | namely, the mouth and the nose. These i giving way creates additional strain upon the vocal bands or cords.
 'I his general giving way causes what l is styled node because of the strain
 of keeping up the same tone. These nodes are little red points on the vocal cords. and appear first on their weakest spots and where they are made to in- | crease by the rapid vibrations of the cords against each other. After re- beating this process several times the | blood vessels in the cords become rup- l tured and a condition is brought about which it takes months to recover from. In this way once person has acquired | . ,
 out Q programme for an entire season without frequent breakdowns. The question of diet is of the utmost importance to the pubic speaker as
 well as to the public singer. Mr Bry-
 an religiously observes d rule gained by great experience. simply stated il , is thls Eat as heartily as you wish of beef, lamb mutton, roasted or broiled ,1a,-a,. fried o, b,ita0. boiIaJ p,.I
 poached eggs, milk and toast, white
 meat Of fowl, potatoes mashed with butter and milk, fish. except lobster
 and crab, spinach asparagus, peas and string beans, rice and barley, and for stimulants one cup of tea, one cup oiI coffee or one cup of cocoa.
 All alcoholic beverages must be
 strictly tabooed unless it be small
 glass of claret after meas. Beer makes the voice flat and champagne makes it sharp, and in the case of singers has | been known to raise the pitch to such a degree as to ruin the rendering Of se lections for which the singers were justly famed.
 Both MT. Bryan and Mir. Roosevelt also appreciate what a deadly thing the 1 sleeping car is to a voice, and when | travelling their faces are invariably covered with light silk handkerchief 1 They also sleep with their heads to-
 ward the engine. thereby preventing a
 rush of blood to the head.
 If either of the candidates feels or has presentiment of any trouble before 1 appearing on the platform he resorts
 to the singers remedy of simply grunt- | ing for about five minutes. The grants really resemble the growing of bear and are found to be most advantageous l in clearing the vocal organs of the
 throat and chest.
 By this method they focus the voice in the forward part of the face and give q light exercise to the principal breath controlling muscle. the diaphragm, as the final preparation for speech mall- ing.
 Tt will doubtless occasion surprise to those who have heard MT Roosevelt speak to be told that he understands | the secret of voice culture almost a well Is does MT. Bryan, anl that t.e. q is not the slightest reason for the ap- prehensiors of many of his party ai- CTS and personal friends that he may
 be obliged to retire from the platform. Governor RooseVelt's physician. who
 objected to having his name appear in
 an interview. gave few generaliza-
 tions in regard to the care of threats,
 and more especially the threats of pub
 lie speakers. Among other things he
 said that MT. Roosevelt has become SD
 facile in the manipulation of his voice
 that breakdown is next to an impos-
 sibility, even though the campaign
 Were to continue three months longer
 than the prescribed time
 Did the governor not understand the
 mysteries of the speaking voice it
 would be absolutely impossible for him
 to survive one week of campaign work
 His voice is naturally what is known
 among the profession as a white voice.
