BED0E IS ORAT0RIO TENOR
NEW YORKER IS CHOSEN
Handel's Messiah to be Given in Woolsey Hall on De-
 cember 12.

Dan Bedoe, the well known oratorio tenor, will make his first appearance in New Haven on December 12, when he comes for the production of "The Messiah" by the New Haven Oratorio society and the Derby Choral club in Woolsey hall
 MT. Bedoe has sung in every big fes- tival given in this country, as well as in nearly every important oratorio pro- duction in New York within the past few years, so 1t is only fitting that his coming should help to make more not able the most notable oratorio pro- auction we have had since the Bach Passion music was sung in Woolsey hall.
 He is probably the best tenor for this occasion that could be had and the Oratorio society is to be congratu- lated on arranging a date with this much-in-demand singer. Good oratorio tenors are scarce, say the big mana gers of New York. It is harder to get fresh, young tenors for such produc- tions than any other voice.
 At the worcester festival in October with such artists as David Bispham and Madam Schumann-H -Heink, Dan Bedoe stood shoulder to shoulder as an artist. It was not alone that the critics praised him unstintedly for his beautiful voice, but the most captious of them gave him credit for his artis- tic attachments,
 A singer must be equipped with more than natural gifts of voice to meet the demands made by such a score as the Messiah A tenor must be at once a heroic and a lyric tenor in th.s great work of Handel In the Messiah the tenor is called upon really to create a atmosphere for what follows, for Han del didn't begin his oratorio with a chorus. It will be remembered the first voice heard is the tenor soloist and he begins with that beautifully ly- ric recitative, Comfort Ye My Peo- ple."
 The New Haven Oratorio society an nounces it's subscription sale for Fri day and Saturday, December s and ', and in the Woolsey hall box office. In this sale subscribers only may secure seats. That is, subscribers may se- cure two seats, or more if they like, for each concert-for the Messiah on the twelfth, and for the March concert when Sir Edward Elgar's Dream of Gerontius" will be produced.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTUREs.
No Hesitancy Manifested in Recom-
 mending New Haven's New Issue.

mending New Haven's New Issue.
 Investment bankers in general are manifesting no hesitancy in recom- mending the New York, New Haven and Hartford forty-year 6 per cent. convertible debentures as the lowest priced high grade investment bonds that can be purchased in the present market. Based on the ruling quota tions for the rights, at 1-2. the bonds are selling at about 1O7 1-2, repre- senting an income basis of 5.52 per cent
 Notwithstanding the fact that the debentures are, as the investing pub lie has come to understand the mean ing of the term, in their original form merely evidences of debt unsecured by a mortgage, analysis of the terms under which they are issued shows many features making for the strength of their position and it is be- lieved that during the coming year banks and investors, particularly throughout New England and New York, will give more attention to these bonds than to almost any other railroad issue. One of these features which is deserving of special mention is that by the terms of the debentures themselves it is provided that the road may not execute any mortgage in the future on it's main line without in cluding the debentures under that mortgage. This is a protection which is very often provided for in the state statutes
 A careful study of the quotations for the New Haven stock since 1899 indicates the possible value of the. privilege which the holders of the de- bentures have of converting them into stock par for par after 1928. The record of these quotations (Boston stock exchange prices) shows as fol-

Hearing on Wheeler Co.'s Affairs.

w. G. Redfeld, assistant cashier of the New Haven County bank, was ex- amined before Referee Henry G. New ton in the bankruptcy court Saturday regarding the payment to the bank of $15,OOo by E, S. Wheeler, of the p. S. Wheeler corporation. Attorney sey- mour c. Doomis, representing N. R. Bronson, trustee of the Wheeler cor poration, conducted the examination
 The claim is made that MT. Wheeler paid this money to the bank out of the assets of the bankrupt company, which was illegal, as the obligation to the bank was a personal matter.
 Trustee Bronson is seeking to have the bank turn back the $15,OOo into the assets of the corporation.
 Other witnesses will be examined be- fore the investigation is concluded.

The U. S. Government in it's Pure Food Law does not "indorse" or guarantee" any preparation, as some manufacturers in their advertisements would make it appear. In the case of medicines the law provides that cer- tain drugs shall be mentioned on the labels if they are ingredients of the preparations. Ely's Cream Balm, the well-known family remedy for cold in the head, hay fever and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain a single injurious drug so the makers have simply to print the fact that it complies fully with all the requirements of the law.

WATER AS A BEVERAGE.
Flattest After an Apple and Coolest
After a Peppermint Drop.

Water is the finest drink in the
things, but not every one knows how
to get the most enjoyment out of
drinking it.
For instance. water should never be
been eaten, for as Il beverage it then
has a taste more fiat and insipid than
as if it had been taken from cold
| teakettle.
"0n the other hand there is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing mot counting
actual thirst than TO eat Il peppermint
drop before taking Il drink of it,
And, while peppermint stands at the
head. Il drink of water is particularly
and noticeably good after any wafer
or loZenge. Popcorn, on the other
hand. takes all the animation out of i
subsequent swallow of water.
Nor do bread and water go well to-
Gether The water takes the sweetness
out of the bread. and the bread takes
the livcliness out of the wafer and
makes II HAT beyond degree.
THE tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as n prison fare OF punish
ment knew his business.
The enjoyment of IL drink of water
varies. TOO. with what you drink it
from. You would not offer to Il sick
person a drink of water In 4 cup but

Il 1--we frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water. and it appears to be Il
very common habit with them to re-
l gard the liquid steadily for some see
onds before swallowing it, often hold
: ing it on level with their eyes III
order to see it as clearly as possible.
Surely this lesson should not he lost
