4 LII critics agree that Maud Powell
II holds not only the premier posi-
AA tion among violinists of her sex,
but that she stands out conspicuously
among her masculine confreres. Maud
Powell was introduced to Los Angeles
three years ago and won her way
quickly among critics and music low
ers. repeating her successes two years
after and satisfying in both the classic
and romantic school. She will come to
us next Tuesday with new programs,
occupying the highest niche among the
yiolinists of America.
An American by birth, her very
earliest musical education was gained
in this country and it was due to
Americans that opportunity was made
for her early life to be spent in Europe
under the best violin masters the con-
tinent afforded. Since 1900 she has
toured America each season, returning
again and again, continuing her sue
cesses.
She has played with all of the lead
ing symphony orchestras of Europe
and America and this season has at
tanned the unique distinction of being
engaged by every symphony orchestra
management as soloist during their
concert year. AS an executant Miss

uuaintances Today she is q much dis
cussed pianist, both in the press and
in the studios, and probably enjoys the
acquaintance and personal friendship
Of more distinguished musicians than
any other young artist. Miss Steeb
has played before great critics, COM
posers, pianlsts, violinists and singers,
and in each instance has been immedi-
ately accepted as one of the important
artists of the times
Miss Steeb has played for such well
known musicians as Arthur Bird, who
said she was "a wonderful artist;
Richard Lowe, under whose baton
"Hansel and GreteP' became famous,
and who said she was "a most extra
ordinary pianist; William I<latte, the
eminent theorist and leading Berlin
critic, writer on the Lokal Anzeiger,
who invited Miss Steeb again and
again to play for him. after each piece
going into detail regarding performance
and Interpretation, commenting on the
phenomenal understanding of so young
an artist, and exclaiming, Remarkable
most excellent-eXtraOrdi etc.
Well known American musicians for
whom Miss Steeb has played are Mrs.
Minnie Fish Griffin, who says "She is
wonderful; Edgar Stillman Kelley,
who said of her work" that Is really
wonderful: 1 have never heard the
G. minor SO we'll played on the piano
not even on the organ. Such clearness
and so much color! 1t is really great"
Jessie Gaynor, the well known COM
poser of children's operas and songs,
said when she heard Miss Steeb for the
first time: You are d genius; come
over and see the girls and help make
fudge and stay for supper"
Among dozens Of other most faVora-
BILE comments Teichmuller said: Miss
Steeb has unusual intelligence, a per-
feet technique, the most perfect school
ing of any living pianist, wonderful
charm in her playing, unusual temper
ament, a big, broad style, a wonderful
touch, and Is the only pianist 1 know
of who plays all turns, trills, mordents,
etc, as they we're intended by the COM
DoSerS."

HOme.Made Tonic
For Spring Disorders
C"Madelalne" in woman's Journal.)

("Madelaine" in Womans JounaL)
I receive so many letters every
spring from persons who complain Of
u tired feeling on arising every morn
ing-of a sort OF "all gone" don't
care" condition-that I am forced to
believe that everybody reeds a tonic
in the spring to purify the blood, tone
up the stomach and liver and restore
the human body to proper condition
after the inactivity of winter.
Spring usually finds the organs and
blood clogged with impurities. The
feeling of languor and dullness, lack
of ambition and energy, poor appe-
tite. sallow complexion, liver blotches,
pimples and other skin eruptions-all
these are symptoms of impure blood,
deranged digestion or torpid liver.
You can make full quart of good
tonic at home at small cost that will
nut your system in perfect condition
and rid you of Spring Fever in all
its phases. Get from your druggist one
ounce of kardene, mix it with " cup
sugar and add u pint of alcohol and
11h pints of hot water. Take one ta-
blespoonful five minutes before each
meal and before retiring.
Kardene purifies the blood, arouses
the liver, clears the skin, restores lost
appetite and strengthens and builds
up the entire system. There is no
other blood medicine as good.

provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one Of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women In
charge of the children said that tho
boys had arranged the outing "of their
own accord, and the remarkable thing
is this: They are not good boys by
any means and one Of them is prob
ably the naughtiest boy in the neigh

do little things like this they will come
