BLOOD DISEASES,
CONTAGIOUS TROUBLES

Contagious Blood Poison more
thoroughly permeates the system than
any other disease. Its infectious virus
contaminates every corpuscle and
tissue of the circulation, and for this
reason its symptoms are of a varied
nature. When it enters the blood it
is but a short time until the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the skin
becomes spotted, rashes and eruptions
appear on the body, sores and ulcers
break out, the hair falls, and fire.

COLLEGE YELLS
ARE THE LIMIT
Organized Cheering Harshly Crit
icized by President Lowell Of
Harvard University.

Boston, Dec. 2s-A denunciation OF
organized college cheering and rag time"
by President A. Lawrenc. Lowell OF
Harvard University was the feature OF
the second days sessions of the Music
Teachers National association at Boston
University to-day. President Lowell
said:
"One OF the saddest things is to go to
a gathering of educated men and note
the kind of music given at their dinners.
1t Is rag time, and rag time of very
poor quality.
These men seem to care very little
for good music. What they want is Il
catchy song after they have exhausted
their voices in organized cheering.
'Of all the processes OF expressing
emotions. organized cheering is from
every point of view the worst Organized
cheering has less means Jf expressing de-
grees and varieties of emotion than any
other form Of expression. with the
possible exception of the fog horn In
some ways 1t expresses the direction of
the taste OF the cultivated people to-day.
Our people seem totally indifferent in ex-
pressing In common any Of the finer
emotions. One can hardly fail to note the
progressive degenerations of the popular
taste in music.
"A gathering of educated persons should
naturally have a fine expression for their
emotions through music. Such ex-
preston. however, has become feeher
during the last so years Music teachers,
therefore, have a task before them that
affects our whole civilization. This work
is the good teaching of music from child
hood upward. There is a great need for
labor on the part of the music teachers
in raising the musical taste of the peo-
pie In general
