George Edwardes and Musical
Comedy.
iron me Narch,g,,r Guard.naI


The death Of George Edwardes is p fatal
blow TO musical comedy in London. His
most serious and most intelligent rival,
Robert Courtnedge, IS committed TO opera
for some time to come. and it would not be
in the least surprising ii the musical com
edy founded by Mr.. Edwardes were TO set
just as English opera is beginning to rise.
II is not Of course, that the two arc mutu-
ally exclusive. There Is room for serious
ard for light opera. But musical comedy
was danger 20 opera in so far as, being
a paying and comparatively long established
concern. il had a tendency 10 draw 10 itself
singers whose right place is the opera stage
Webster Millsr, the Manchester tenor. is an
example in point. In musical comedy his fine
voice and talent for dramatic expression
were utterly thrown away, for the music Of
Mr.. Edwsrdes's productions was as uninter
esting and as little varied as their titles.
This was the cause OF the Edwardes failure
to establish type OF entertainment which
will endure. n he had possessed an ear for
good music as we'll az the eye for scenic
effects we might have had English light
opera 10 supplement Lecocq and Ofenbach
But he had not even the courage TO search
for the men to give him the kind OF music
he needed. Most of his musical comedie5
had music which was trivial without being
in the least gay. while the quality Of the
comedy depended almost entirely on the skill
OF the performer.

To keep well one should avoid con tracing catarrh. Catarrh which is one of the commonest of American disor- ders Is responsible for 75 per cent of all the lung troubles. Most cases of lung diseases begin with catarrh which had originated in the nose, the throat or the head and spreads through the bronchial tubes to the smaller tubes in the lungs and even to the minute air cells. Catarrh creates an unwhole- some nucus. This mucus if allowed to gather and impregnate the tissues will destroy the lungs, impair the eye sight. hearing and sense of smell and taste. It is not necessary for there to be bacteria as this mucus creates bac- teria by further decomposing in the lung tisues. Bacteria is in the air all the time and finds a more acceptable breeding place in lungs weakened by catarrh than they would in clean healthy organs. Thus they are enabled to breed in safety and greater virul
 ence. If you have catarrh attend to it at once. Consult a reputable physi- elan immediately and have him treat you for it. Follow his instructions implicitly get rid of the catarrh and thus ward off any possible chances of later contracting insidious lung dis eases. Watch out for catarrh.
 Make the diet of nourishng foods, keep the mucus Things of the nose and throat clean and healthy, see the body is in a state of perfect elemina- : tion. bathe frequently. keep the mouth closed and breathe through the nose.
 Many suffer from sick headaches. Ask for the reason. Of the existing causes for sick headaches the writer knows only the following and the treatment will readily suggest itself 1,
The Nome daily nugget., 1915-06-30

, Constipation. ,. lack of open air and exercise 3. intestinal ntoxicatlon and putrefaction 1, brain flag and worry; D. over concentrated vision as reading and too much moving picture show; 6, too rich diet in proteids.
 A reader asks as to the value of hot water and whether 1t should be taken at meals or not. TO those who have no ills there is no need of taking hot
 water at any time Cold water will do. Hot water with the meals keeps the urine free and abundant and pre- vents and tends to cure many kidney
 diseases, gall stones and gravel To those who are well don't drink hot water or in fact any water at meals.
 Meals should be eaten dry and liquids
 taken at the completion of the meal or
 between meals.
 Some people who are perfectly well but who, because of hard work or sed-
 netary habits, require extra fluids, and
 hot water is the best way to provide them The young who eat heartily,
 between meals. do not need to drink
 with their meals at all, but the older
 ones who rarely drink between meals,
 whose business requires them to stay in doors most of the time and who get
 little or no exrcise, will find 1t greatly to their benefit to drink hot water dur
 ing their meals.
 i The excessive consumption of meat
 is without doubt to blame for much | of America's disease. Many leading
 medical authorities blame an eXces
 sive meat diet for the great prevalence
 of cancer in the United States where
 each person disposes of 172 pounds of meat a year.
 1 In England the yearly meat consump- tion is 260 pounds per capita, double , the rate of fifty years ago Cancer has
 increased fourfold. In Ireland the rate is forty pounds, with a death rate of
 but one half that of England In Italy,
 where the per capita consumption of
 meat is smallest, the death rate from
 cancer is also the lowest. The con-
 sumption of meat per capita in this 1 country has reached the enormous rate l of 172 pounds, and in the last five l years cancer deaths have been increas- | ed seven or eight per cent Practical , ly the same conclusions can be drawn from the use of coffee, tea and alcohol.
