A PERFECT~FOCD.

That SCOTS Emulsion
should act SO quickly AID
satisfactorily in al cases
of lost flesh and continued
wasting is not surprising
when its food value is un-
dcrStood. With pure Nor,
wcgian cod liver oil, hypo-
ph"sphitcs of lime and
soda and glyCcrine, there
i, combined in SCOTS
Emulsion the best Gle
mcnts of nOuriShmcnt and
strength building known
to medical science. Any
physician will tcllyou this.
The use Of these ingredi-
cnts in the proper proper
tons; the employment OF
only the purest grade of
each. andto combine them
perfectly is the secret of
the success OF SCOTS
Emulsion. You will not
find a more certain way to
stop waste, build flesh and
strength and supply nour-

THE IMMORTAL. "MEssIAH''
;Handel's Grand Oratorio Will Be Civ.
~. en- Christmas Might.

Christmas night, Dec. rs, the Phil
harmonic. club Will give it's annual per-
torrance of Handel's ."Messiah'' in
the Auditorium. 1t is necessary only
to- make the announcement of the sing
ing of Handel's Christmas oratorio by
the club to assure a large attendance,
for in addition to the regular patrons
of the club and symphony orchestra,
the Messiah'2~ draws an audience Of
It's own; men and women who are sell
dom seen in public concert halls, but to
whom the melodies of the great orato-
rio havesbeeh, perhaps for many wears.
apart of their Christmas celebration !:
to whom its harmonies are as full Of
memories as of musical Beauties.
The Messiah'' has been sung for
l64 years, and in America for 1876
years. Written by Handel in twenty.
three days, it was first given in Dub
lin, Ireland, in 1912. Handel took no
part of the receipts Of any of the TWEEN
ty-four performances given during his
life, always devoting the proceeds of
this oratorio to some charitable pur-
pose. 1t is given many. times at everv
Christmas season in England and Amer
lea, and its choruses and solos are
heard more frequently in detached
The "Messiah'' is divided into three
parts, and when given complete re-
cures three hours for it's performance.
1t is seldom, if ever, presented in it's
entirety, but in the two to three hours
to which it is reduced, may be heard
all the numbers that are household
words. A mere enumeration of some
of these is sufficient to start their har-
monies echoing thru brain and heart.

Belasco on Modern Drama.

Success Magazine recently asked
David Belasco for his views on the

He replied as follows: ''''
