A majority of people have come to
know the blessings which an occa-
sional use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's confer upon the stomach. They
are unquestionably the most popular
remedy known, for the reason that
dyspepsia is the national disease and
these wonderful little tablets have
long since acquired a national reputa-
ton as a thoroughly reliable and efi-
cient cure for all forms of dyspepsia
and indigestion.
No matter how great the excess of
food taken into the stomach, one or
two of these tablets will digest every
particle of it. A package of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets should always be in
the house. Many person has saved
himself from a serious attack of acute
| Indigestion by using them after heavy
meals. such as are eaten Christmas,
| New Years, Thanksgiving and other
| holidays and festal seasons.
After attending banquets, late sup
| ipers, heavy fancy dinners, after-the-
ater parties, etc, where one has dined
sumptuously and luXuriantly, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets should invariably
be used, as they digest the food per-
fectly and completely, and prevent all
possibility of dyspepsia, which, with
out their use, is more than likely to
ensue.

Dissertation
Special to The TeIegrabh

Hagerstown, Md, Nov. 1S.-In a
sermon he preached in Zion Reform
ed Church in this city on Sunday the
Rev. DR.. J. S. Kieffer, former presi-
dent of the General Synod of the Re-
formed Church of the United States,
attacked automobilists who go on
pleasure jaunts on Sundays instead of
attending church. He said in the past
year Hagerstown has given a million
and half dollars for automobiles,
but the city has refused to contribute
a few thousand for a community build
ing. The automobile, he declared in
his sermon, is largely responsible for
the falling off in church attendance
and one of the modern methods of
Sabbath desecration.

THREE CONCERTS
OPEN DECEMBER
Nine. Aida Sings at Carnegie
Hall-Music League Starts
Subscription Season.

There were two concerts yesterday
afternoon and large audiences attended
both. At Carnegie Hall Nine. Frances
Aida gave her annual song recital, and
almost every one in the operate world
was there. Nine. Aida was evidently
exceedingly nervous during the first
few numbers, a group Of old English
and Italian songs, and as result her
voice was unsteady. She soon, however,
gained control Of herself and sang
Moszkowski's "Schlaflied" and Blech' S
"Tausend Sterne" with clear tone and
with feeling. She was even more per
fectly at home in her French group, a
group which included Debussy's Les
Cloches" and Borodine's "MelodIe
Arabe." the latter receiving Its hrst
American production.
Nine. Aida showed a marked gain IN
her understanding of the requirements
of song Interpretation over her appear
ance last year. There was less Of the
dramatic fervor of the operate artist
and an increase in the use Of color and
of nuance.
If Nine. Gatti-Casazza is not yet a
complete mistress of the concert hall,
she is evidently on the right road. She
was on the whole in excellent voice,
though at times she had difficulty with
her upper tones, due perhaps to nerv-
business. Needless TO say she was show
cred with flowers, which piled upon the
piano until the instrument completely
vanished.
At Aeolian Hall there was a benefit
for the National Red Cross and the
Night Camp Auxiliaries OF the New
York Throat, Nose and Lung Hospital,
the benefit being given by wired
Douthitt. assisted by Miss Blanche
Manley and the Stanley Quartet.
Mr.. Douthitt is well known as the
baritone of the Dippel Opera Company.
His voice is a beautiful one and he
uses it we'll, and he sang the "Pagli-
acci" prologue very effectively. His
want Of fervor and of temperament
were his chief drawbacks, with the re-
suit that he impaired little added in
terest 20 Coleridge-Taylor's none TOO

tic appearance, deserves well OF all
who have at heart our city's musical
welfare.
IL would be too much to state that
last nights concert produced any I'M
usual talent, though each artist who
appeared had virtues that were
marked. Perhaps the most completely
satisfying was Salvatore Dc Stefano,
hnrpist, who played Godefroid's
"Danse des Sylphes" with delicacy and
Ike.
Robert Gottschalk. young tenor,
displayed light voice Of not little
beauty. but as yet imperfectly placed,
and Miss Challet-Balme, soprano,
showed voice of ample power and
real beauty, but, unfortunately, ex-
plosivc and at times very far from the
correct pitch.
Putro Yon played a number of organ
selections, including Pagella's "Prima
Sonata" and the programme closed
with an operetta by Emile Bourgeois,
participated in by Greta Torpadie, So
nrano. and Eiaar Linden, tenor.
