FAVORABLE OPENING OF
UNION CITY CHAUTAUQUA
TUESDAY.

ton at Washington, occupied the Chau
tauqua stage Tuesday forenoon and at
ternoon. DIR. Barker's afternoon sub
iect was How to Live Hundred
Years" and it was merely an address
of advice replete with good common
sense concerning the daily habits Of
men and women. DIR. Barker first took
up the question OF keeping the pores Of
the body open so as to discharge all the
poisonous matter emitted thru the skin.
He advised friction brush and daily
friction bath. A hot water bath is very
good, but it does not answer the pur-
pose. Too many hot water baths affect
the nerves. But the friction bath, the
rubbing OF the skin with the proper
kind of flesh brush, opens the pores
and allows the poisonous matter to es-
cape. The underclothes will even clog
up the pores, and other things act to
retard the elimination OF poisons thru
the skin. Therefore the opening OF the
pores with the brush is to revitalize the
body and produce healthy condition.
In the matter of constipation or intes-
final trouble the Doctor recommended
four essential things. The first in the
morning Immediately after rising is to
drink two glasses (not one) OF hot water.
Next, omit all kinds of meats and eggs
until health conditions are restored and
then meat well masticated once day is
sufficient. Third eat whole wheat bread.
Don't let the miller sift it even once.
Then take cereals, fruits and vegetables.
Bananas are not recommended. The
next is exercise and the Doctor gave
demonstration OF the different kinds OF
exercise-frst for breathing, for the kid
news, for the spine and for the liver, all
of which included deep breathing pro-
cesses. The Doctor spoke OF the cele-
brated French physician, who visited
Bulgaria, a country with a small terri
tory and a population not larger than
Greater New York. Five thousand OF the
inhabitants OF this country lived to be
over one hundred years old, and Iongevi-
ty was attributed to some extent to alb
staining from meat and to the drinking
of buttermilk. The people we're too
poor to eat meat and hence they derived
the advantages without exercising the
wisdom of the practice. Buttermilk is
therefore highly recommended.
The Doctor proceeded to indorse pro-
hibition. The Sonth is leading, but the
people of the North are looking on and
taking lessons. Abstinence is one OF
the essentials to good health and this
fact has been demonstrated without
question. Whisky is not only an evil
but it is a menace to good health and
the Doctor Endorsed the prohibition OF
the traffic.
When the address was concluded DR..
Barker gave an exhibition OF physical
exercise, first with the arms and chest
and then with the whole body, in every
movement observing the practice OF deep
breathing. While taking the exercise
the Doctor pleasantly remarked that he
would be doing this while some OF us
are sleeping in a six-foot hole in the
ground. The Doctor wound up with
pleasant reference to the President,
which has been characteristic OF all the
speakers OF the Chautauqua.
In the afternoon Giuseppe Barlotta,
the Italian tenor, entertained the audi
ence. He is Neapolitan by birth and
has sung with the foremost singers OF
Europe and America. His voice is &C
curate and musical, he sings with grace
and skill, and his work is all marked
with intelligence and expression. The
program vas thoroly enjoyed.
On Tuesday evening the largest audi
ence of the meeting up to that time
witnessed the play, The Servant in the
House" This is a we'll known drama
from Chas. Ram Kennedy's book, one
Of the strongest moral lessons on the
stage. A great many Of our good
folks have cultivated dislike so strong
against the stage that they see nothing
moral come from it. But those who
heard the story Tuesday night at the
tent are more than likely to undergo
some change on the subject. The fact
is that the stage and the platform are
in nowise different. The vulgar and
Indifferent works OF the stage should
not be allowed to mar the good there is
in the profession. The talent very often
alteruates from the stage to the platform
and vice versa. There are some things
