Taste Is Sure
 Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never Fails, Though Seldom
 Believed

Taste is the direct guide to the stomach; and the taste buds are con nected by the nerves with the stom- ach itself. so that they represent it's health or disorder. If the stomac oh or it's juices are out of tone. the blood is or acid condition, and these reach the mouth both directly and indirectly
 "The taste buds are in the tongue, and are mounted by hairlike projec- tions called papillae: they cover the surface of the tongue.
 and absorb the liquid: inform the nerves; the nerves tell the stomach, and the food is acceptable or not. Just as the stomach feels."
 The above remarks on taste come from an eminent authority and sim- ply explains why when one smells cooking or sees food one thinks he can eat. but when he tastes he learns the stomach is out of business.
 To the person who cannot taste alright, who relishes no food and sim ply forces himself to eat, Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets hold the secret of en- joyable eating, perfect digestion and renewed general health.
 Most men wait until their stomachs are completely sickened before they think seriously of assisting nature.
 When your taste for food is lost it is certain sign the stomach needs attention. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure such stornachs. They restore sweetness of breath. renew gastric juices. enrich the blood and give the stomach the strength and rest neces- sary to general duty.
 Forty thousand physicians use Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets and every druggist carries them in stock; price soc per box. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package free by mail. Address, F. A. Stuart Co.,, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

The Music Cure.

quency. The music cure is being tested
thusiastic regarding its virtues. For ian
gled nerves and overwrought minds it is
highly recommended, and the most stub
born cases of insomnia have yielded to its
harmonious appeals. 1t is quite possible
that the blended effects have been tried
at times upon those persons who are only
fit for treasons and stratagems and spois
and other unpleasant things, having no
music in their souls. and for them the
harmonic dose must be decidedly I'M
pleasant.
The curative music can be looked upon
from any form of instrument that pro-
duces tuneful effects. 1t may be drawn
from the grand organ with it's forest of
pipes and its thrilling ground swell of
sound. or 1t may come from the modest
concertina. or the equally modest guitar
There are times, of course. when the

in the homes as we'll as in the concert
halls: to be a Mendelssohnian was to be
an old fogy indeed. Presently the pendu-
lum began to swing once more the other

the far superior productions of Schubert.
Schumann. Franz and others, are now
acknowledged to be obsolete, with a few
exceptions. Much of his pianoforte and
chamber music also has vanished for
good. But his choral works. st. Paul
and Elijah" have stood the test of time.
If not SO we'll as Bach's and some of
Handel's; and among his orchestral pieces
there are several which are as fresh to-
day as when they were written.
Musical compositions are even more
ephemeral than literary works. To be
able to say of any composer siXty-tWO
years after his death that some of his
works are as fresh as on the day when
they were given to the world is to assign
him place among the immortals. That

is arranging Mendelssohn program in
commemoraton of his hundredth BIRTH
day. Everybody will thus have an OPP
portunity to confirm or revise his opinion
of the greatest Of the Hebrew musicians.
Richard Wagner once wrote a sensational
pamphlet in which he declared that in
none of the arts had the Jews produced
creators of the first rank. In more
temperate mood. however. he declared
that Mendelssohn was the greatest specific
musical genius since Mozart. He called
him "a landscape painter Of the first
order" and considered the "Hebriden"
overture his masterpiece. admiring also,
particularly, the Midsummer Nights
Dream" overture. that marvel of genius
which Mendelssohn wrote when he was
seventeen. and which he never afterward
surpassed or even eaualed. This over
ture. with other numbers of his incidental
music to Shakespeare's play, has never
ceased to be frequent piece on CONCERT
programs. and it Will live as long as any
music now in existence.
There is reason to suspect that the
great interest in the Mendelssohn CEN
tenary is due not merely to a desire to
pay tribute to his now acknowledged
genius and his fixed place among the
classics. but is partly the result of an
other reaction-the growing feeling of
revolt against the present tendencies Of
music, particularly in Germany.
