now indicated by the preparations
under way for the greatest musical
season ever known. Ten years ago
the sum spent in this way amounted
to hardly more than $1,000, 900.
What it will amount to in another
decade in view of ever-increasing
demand for music of every character
is merely matter of conjecture. In
spite of this great expenditure, how
ever. music has not yet become a
generally popular form of entertain
ment as is indicated by the fact that

which it is estimated will be spent

ing less than 5000 or less than one

Just why New Workers will have to
foot such an enormous bill for their

by the salaries paid to tho artists

HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre-
pare their systems in advance Of
baby's coming, Unless the mother
aids nature in its prenatal work tho
crisis finds her system unequal to
the demands made upon it, and
she is often left with weakened
health or chronic ailments. No
remedy is SO truly a help to nature
as Mothers Friend, and no ex-
pectant mother should fail to use
it. 1t relieves the pain and dis
comfort caused by the strain on the
ligaments, makes plant and elastic
those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness Of limbs, and soothes the in
hsmmation of breast glands. The

that the crisis may not be safely

Fanaticism is relentless. Over here

and light wines constitute the ma
tionsl beverage equally for the
wealthy and the lowly, the rich and
the poor. The many beautiful gar
dens where drinks are dispensed,
having comfortable tables and chairs
and good attendants, are crowded
during pleasant weather with the
most respectable classes of society,
ranging from the highest in rank to
the peasantry, all joining together
in republic Of pleasure, drinking in
moderation while enjoying the best
of music. This is furnished as a
rule by some one of the numerous
military bands. II is the same dur

case Of drunkenness in any Of these
halls or gardens. Treating, with its
concomitant evils, is practically un-
known. Each man pays for what he
requires, drinking no more than he
wishes. Sometimes the general thirst
on q warm summer day is titanic in
its capacity for consumption. But
Notwithstanding the vast quantities
consumed, beer does not seem to en-
gender the combstive element
aroused by alcoholic drink; it ha'
rather the reverse effect, for it moi
