There is a host of pills, powders. tab

they all lack the first essential to being

rheumatism is simply a name given to

only be reached by irrigating the en-
tire blood supply with a naturally as
slmllative antidCte. True, the pains
may De eased with narcotics or the
ACIDS may be neutralized for the time
being with other acids. But these merely
temporize and do not even lead to a
cure: There is but one standard rheu-

There are held at the Waldorf each
winter series of morning concerts
called the "Bagby Musicales." Five
dollars and upward is the price of
seats. They are attended by the real
society people of New York, the most
famous singers and musicians are
engaged, and Mr.. A. M. Bagby, who
has given these concerts for a num-
Der of years, is said to make enough
money out of them during their short
season to enable him to live in great
comfort the year round.
At the most recent of the Bagby
musicales Caruso sang, and one of
his numbers was Thoughts of You,"
by Miss Brown. 1t was the only En-
glish song on the program, and it
was probably the first time Caruso
had ever given song by a composer
unknown to fame.
Miss Browns works were brought
to the great tenor's> attention some
time ago, and so impressed him that
he expressed a desire to meet her,
and to sing Thoughts of You"
