GET II F|RST-N0T LAST

When a cold grips your system It IS
convincing proof that your condition Is
weakened-remember that. Itis risky
indeed to simply trust your strength to
throw it off, because neglected colds
have brought more serious sickness
than any other one thing, while weak.
ening cathartics and stimulatingsyrups
are often depressing and dangerous.
The one best treatment for any cold
the one so often relied on when others
fail, Is the powerful blood-nourishment
in Soott's Emulsion, which feeds the
very sources of bodily strength to sup
press the present cold and generate
strength to thwart further sickness.
Get SCOTS first, not last-and insist
on the genuine-always free from al
cohol and injurious drugs.

.DOUTY EXPLAINS
SONG DEVELOPMENT
Recital At National Museum
Deals With Four German
Romanticists.

Development OF the song as an art
form through the period OF the German
romanticists was traced In an explana-
tory recital before the Washington So
ciety OF Fine Arts at the National Mu-
scum last night by Nicholas Douty, Of
Phila delphia.
Schubert. Schumann, Franz. and
Brahms were the four composers Sc
lected to illustrate the period follow
ing the classic development. ending with
Beethoven. Whether In the lighter and
charming "Roeslein. Roselein." Of
Schubert, or the exquisite "Volkslied-
chem" OF Schumann. or the more ro-
bust Die Post OF the former and the
''Genesung" Of Franz, or the ever
popular Der Schmied," OF the intel
lectual Brahms, Mr. Douty easily
charmed a critical audience Miss Mary
Eyre MacEiree, who accompanied AIR.
Douty's first songs, performed a diff
cult task with such skill as to win ap-
plause. notably after the "Erlkoenig,"
echuberts masterpiece.
There had been iew great songs until
Schuberts time, said the lecturer.
schubert led the revolt against the
classic forms, and 1t was his task to
wed romantic verse to clear. sympa-
thetic music, Melody was Schubcrt's
chief aim.
Schumann was the founder of modern
German music. he said. More culti-
waited and educated than his preieces.
sors, Schumann diu much as editor of d
musical review to call the worlds at
tention to the budding geniuses OF mu-
sical life. as developing the art OF song
writing with the individual note. with
the expression Of individual feeling.
His songs are perfect.
Franz has the classic spirit uf Bach
and Handel. hut he wrote very little.
/ His songs are his greatest work.
! In Brahms, Mr. Douty found "a mu-
steal genius of tremendous intellectual
/ ity, so Intellectual that he tx often dif-
| fcult to understand. He seldom sue
ceeded In writing clearly, yet his :1elo-
| syncopations and cross melodies and
| undercurrerts.
| After illustrating Brahms with three
| other SONGS, Mr.. Douty sarg Der

AN ANXIOUS NIGHT
Old Boreas Was on The Rampage
One Year Ago. E

Today one year ago the old fable
Of the giant Of the north emerging
from caverns and blowing furious
ard chilling blasts from conch shells
was in evidence. In the afternoon a
piercing northwest wind set in, which
gathered force until it assumed a
velocity Of sixty miles an hour. By
night the wind had become so high
that only persons compelled to be out
left their homes. There were no in
terrals in the coming Of the terrific
LASTS, but they were continuous, or
one racing with its predecessor, ap-
rarentiy endeavoring to overtake and
pass it. Conditions became alarming.
Bricks were falling from chimneys
branches were being twisted from
trees, signs were creating, blinds
sIamming and the wind shrieked as
if fiendish giants were warning on
helpless human beings. Sleep was al
most out of the question, and many
persons remained up until morning.
The wind had not abated at daybreak
and it blew with about the same force
the day. The weather was
1iercingly cold during the time, and
the river was virtually covered with
ice which extended as far down AS
Rlackistone's Island.
Some houses were damaged by the
tornado, which set in Sunday and did
not materially abate until Tuesday.
