awaited ample reward for his talents in the concert halls of Europe, where genius is not handicapped by nationality and where there is no prejudice as to place Of residence MT. Gadowsky conceived the idea of a pedagogic work which should engage the services of many prominent European pianists and of several well known American educators. He based his plan upon the university extension idea, with lessons and written eXamma- ticns which should be available for every American teacher of piano. As his chief aid in this vast work is selected the late w. ;. E. Mathews, the friend who had supported him with unswerving loyalty during taGse dark days in CnlcagD.
 MT. Mathews was, perhaps. the most widely known teacher of teachers in America. No one knew better than he the needs of the average American piano teacher. No one understood America Il character bet,er He was d piOpeer 'n the work and as teacher, editor, critic historian and lecturer he served the mu- sical public of this country all through that wierd period when we were emerg- ing from primitive conditions. In fact, the work which GodowsSy has finished was begun by Mathews. Godowsky has eX- banded it. From a series of lessons in history and analysis it has grown into comprehensive textbook covering every problem that the piano teacher must solve"

 Following the nuptial color scheme Mrs. Murdoch used white flowers for her dee- orations with an abundance of greenefy. Lilies and roses with delicate ferns in. tern.ingled composed a lovely centerpiece foi tue tab1e in the dining room from which a buffet service was enjoyed after the games were concluded. Ire game score was kept on cards attractVely dee- orated with brides roses
 For prizes Mrs. Murdich used silver pieces. To tn egirls she awarded a sil- yer picture enclosing Miss Randolph's s photograph. She varied the general plan in the choice of the mems trophy, a handsome gold penknife made with a pocket claps, and for the consolation, sil- yer grape shears were presented
 The honorees also received souvenirs, both of which were chosen as convenient accessories for their wedding trip Miss Randolphs was a silver viaigrette and MT. Murphrees a drinking cup, each hav- ing the name of its possessor engraved on its surface.
 Those whom MT. and Mrs. Murdoch in- cluded in this pleasing courtesy were the members of the bridal party ard MT. and Mrs. Henry Badham. Mir. and Mrs Phares Coleman and Mir. and Mrs. Rich ard Randolph.

musical education that has come 10 the attenion of Musical America.
 This excerp from page article in Mu- sical America but faintly gives the i'm pression of what the course really IS for it's purpose It's thoroughness, US com pleteness, cannot be expressed m teW words-the work must be studied and known to be appreciated and understood.
 To quote from an exhaustive article on inc subject of type Progressive Plano Series." written by that eminent musical critic, Glenn billiard Gum of Chicago among other things he says;
 AS promising subject for what ls known in newspaper parlance as story perhaps the last thing which would sug- sest itself to the reader is text book. A work dealing in painstakng detail With the training of the pianist and having Tor it's purpose the standardizing of teaching methods in America offers an opportunity for the development of news values or of. human interest that at first glance would seem to rival those possessed by the latest treatise on differential calculus Yet the series of Progressive Piano Studies recently issued by the Art Pup lication society of St. Louis, apart from it's pedagogic importance and the propa- bly wide range of it's sphere of influence, may claim space for review in a daily pa Der because it's origin is concerned With a patriotic ambition and it's completion was the fruit of a great and unseliish friendship.
 Patriotism and friendship are affairs of every day. But the friendships Of Ia nous men interest an inquisitive world, and even musical patriotism. subject which has not always appealed to the American, may attract attention when it is cherished by a great European artist in behalf of the American musician anr music student. The great European Ar- list who as editor in chief, is responsible for the Progressive Piano Studies Is Leopold Godowsky. He gained his knowl- edge of American musical conditions oy living with us in Chicago for 10 years, and here he learned that the American believed firmly in the unalterable superi- ority of the European musician. He dis covered that a protracted American resi- dence meant. even for the European of his great gifts and attachments, m en- during stamp of nferiority in competition with the visiting artist whose exotic luster was undimmed by naturalization, to whose reputation there attached no taint of AmericaniZation.
 Feeling the injustice of this condition he sought to combat it with every force at his command. He encouraged Amer jeans to study in America. He strove to secure for them recognition in their own land For himself he knew that there

Slightly Tainted Meat

T had what 1 thought nice piece of meat, and wishing the liquor of the meat to be nice, as well as the meat, l put 1t down in cold water and had it come to a boil. That piece of meat! l examined the poor butcher might have received some severe, but undue, mental ehidings, for l found out that in putting the meat in cold water and letting it gradually come to the boil had the same effect as if I had put a good piece of meat in the s.m heat for short time, but long enough to have become tainted. I hope market men will get less scoldings after women find out this truth. During the summer days. when meat becomes slightly tainted in carrying it from the market home, a little saleratus Common baking soda) put into the water will wholly remove this taint. I let the water come to boil, then throw it of. Put on fresh sl,nply of water foi the main cooking of the meat.
 JULIA A. McD. q"
 Without questioning the ] augment of a respected correspondent, venture to sug- gest that the suspected meat id not really come to the boil It was simply scalded ul CT the surface and the eea-. reaching the heart of the piece, had the same effect as if it had been laid in the sun. My own cook once made the same mistake with like result. She brought the water in which she was cooking soup meat to scalding heat and set away the pot until the next morning. Broth and meat were thrown away. Meat for soup is always l'ut oyer the Ere in cold water and cooked a long time at slow boil Our esteemed member is altogether right In S3ying that soda will check the first process of de- composition, which is acid. Slightly tainted meat may be saved in this way.

Among the distinguished visitors to
 Birmingham within the past few days has ben MT. J. P. Blake, the president of the Art Publication society,"" to whose ability much of the credit and renown
 for the successful introduction of tue progressive piano series" in America is due.
 Mir. Blake is a man of striking person. ality.
 Rarely have l ever met person whose
 musical intuition was keener, whose ap- preciation was more sensitive, and whose knowledge of musicians and musical in-
 stitutions was more acute than his. Perfectly familiar with the status of
 music throughout the United States, num- boring among his friends many of the
 eminent pianists singers and musical
 geniuses of the world Mir. Blake is an
 interesting figure. also because of the fact that he is an eX-newspaper man, recounting to me yesterday with much humor, his first interview with Chi cago's famous mayor, Carter Harrison,
 which was one of the mileposts in his Journalistic career.
 Affiliatng himself later with musical
 and art publications, I asked MT. Blake , just. what the inspiration was that sent his talents in that direction, and he said i: ! Tt was an odd coincidence. A party | of distinguished artists were assembled
 at my home one evening, and as usual 1 the conversation ran along lines which 1 to the diletantte is not always under | stood. Musical matters were pre-emi-
 nent. naturally, and my little daughter
 being present and listening to the con- versation attentively, finally turned to
 me and said;
 How long will have to study music
 before l can understand what they are | talking about?'
 | "The incident impressed me tremend- i ously, MT. Blake continued Until then l l had never realized what years of study and hard work meant to the musician l and that a textbook for music as we l have for other educational branches had
 never been provided. Mir. Godowsky was
 one of the party that evening. Later when the progressive piano series was
 under headway, the inspiration of that
 evening followed me, and l at once began | to take an active interest in the work,
 and have been it's staunch and ardent ad- vocate ever since"
 Had you ever stopped to think" MT.
 Blake asked me, quickly, that if we l studied mathematics we do music it would take us 90 years to accomplish any,
 thing in that branch? Take the two half
 hour lessons a week devoted to music; l take the 40 weeks of a school term-the result is 40 hours of instruction against
 1850 hours of instruction in the public or
 private schools in any branch of study mathematics, rhetoric, literature, gram-
 mar or geography"
 Tt occurs to me that heretofore the average piano pupil has had little to
 show for his hard work at the end of a term, and that his progress has hardly been visible to him, fact which is
 rather discouraging,' I observed. "The progressive piano series is de- vised to obviate that difficulty" said MT. Blake. "At the end of weeks work
 under its directinn the pupil has some

HER EXPERIENCE
 GAINED ON TRIP
Found That Ladies in State Agreed With Her on One
 Important Question

Mangham, La.-Mrs. Liza Barber. of this town, who has returned from a trip In West and Middle Tennessee, has the trip in Middle and West Tennessee. where I found many ladies using Car / dui, the woman's tonic. While travel >(ng I took great pleasure in telling what it had done for mel not only fering women to take it. I know that Cardui cured me and I believe it will do the same for other women
 Some time ago l could hardly stand on my feet. and l had given up ever having good health. After using two bottles of Cardui I could tell it was helping me, and I continued taking it for awhile. I soon felt as well as I ever did, and could do all of my work
 I shall always praise this great med icine to every suffering woman I think there is no other half so good"
 Mrs. Barber would have found weak, ailing women taking Cardui almost anywhere she could have gone. be- cause cardui is recognized as the stand ard womans tonic. It has helped more than million women back to health and strength in the past 50 years
 Why shouldn't it help you?
