 The composition of light opera is no irore beneath the dignity of a scholarly musician than comedy to dramatist who can write tragedy. The former ap- peals to and consequently influences more people, and as regards light opera it re- oiuires quite as much skill and inspiration as heavier forms of music.
 We Hear great deal about the so- called decline of light opera, and some go so far as even to predict the day when it will he extinct. But we have had light opera for more than 200 years and it will continue to flourish in our midst.
 T do not think that light opera is on the decline. Those who sigh for the 1almy days should take the trouble to compare the scores of some modern light operas with those that were popular some years ego. Although the American com roser has labored under difficulties and disadvantages, his work on the whole compares favorably with the best pro- duced on the continent. There is some indication of a light opera renaissance and the American composer will be ready to meet the demand.
 To analyze the desires of the mus;c-lov- ing public and offer a forecast of what it wants is very hard. The opulence of the people and the luxury which prosperi ty has begotten in the last decade have forced managers to make more ornate productions, but they cannot cover the defects of an inane and trivial story and an unmeodious score; well constructed and coherent lyric work is necessary to achieve success.
 Genuine light opera may be compared to it's parallel of the dramatic stage, sthe TO- mantle play. In the structure of both are nicely balanced the clements of comedy, love and romance. My new opera, "The Enchantress," on which I am now work ing, will. I think, be my masterpiece In every way, as I have never had so many varied inspirations to bring forth the best that I can express.

How To Cure Bunions
Some Wrong Things People Believe
 About This Common AffIiction

Many people believe that bunions cannot be cured. because they assume that bunions are an enlargement of the toe joint This Is the case only s in few instances. The enlargement zof the joint is merely an after-effect E bunion is an enlarged sac at a toe Joint. It is caused either from con- 4stant pressure more frequently be- cause the leather in the shoe stops the { eNcretions from that part of the skin. s There Is an. accumulation of poison ous fluid in a bunion which must find way out before the bunion can be cured
 < Sometimes the fluid In the bunion will begin to suppurate and the bun ion become inflamed and raw, caus- ing exeruciating agony
 It is very evident from the nature of a bunion. therefore. that plasters used 10 treat bunions. and powders to re :. .duce the hard rubbing of the foot in the shoe cannot cure this affliction. z The inflammation in a bunion should first be reduced.

Soldiers at the Presidio No Longer
 Dread Long Marches

The feet of the soldier are presumed to be toughened to long drilling and extensive marches. Yet sore feet re- main one of the bugbears of army life. Heretofore there has been nothing known which would cure this affliction quickly and effectively. Even heavy army shoes seem to offer no preven- tive for sore feet.
 At the Presidio near San Francisco, as well as in many other army posts, the boys are using the only remedy which has ever produced immediate and satisfactory results in all foot trou- bles. This remedy is TIE.
 Roy Newberry. roth. Go. C., A. R. stationed at the Presidio, writes:
