MID.YEAR RECITAL.

An unusually large and appreciative
audience greeted the music depart
ment Of Burr and Burton Seminary at
its mid-year recital Friday evening,
April 7th.
Seminary pupils were ably assisted
by part of Mrs. Brooks Rutland
music class. Public comment classes
this recital as one, if not the best,
public exhibition Of music ever given
in Manchester, and ascribes the credit
for this entirely to Mrs. Brooks, whose
efforts for the advancement of matters
musical in connection with the school
have been untiring.
Mrs. Brooks wonderful voice and
superior training enable her to pro-
vide Burr and Burton Seminary with
such musical advantages as are never
excelled and seldom equalled in any
school, whether seminary or college.
To the casual observer even it must
appear that many Of the selections
for this recital, were chosen not only
for their merit as songs, but for their
aoaptability to real service in any
community. These were usable songs.
A genuine test Of any line Of work.
1t is probably true that instrumental
is less difficult Of Interpretation and
execution than vocal music, which un-
doubtedly accounts for the superiority
OF this part Of the program.
If one were TO give single selection
precedence ii would be Concerto Ale
gro con fuoco by Mrs. Brooks and Miss
Mcclure, even though Duo Tarantelle
by Mrs Brooks and Miss Jackson was
rendered with pleasing effects.
Mr. Race is something Of genius
with musical instruments, and added
much 10 the recital by his delightful
violin accomplishments.
Miss Kclley's work on the platform
is the result Of painstaking work upon
each individual lesson Of the term, and
her consequent improvement along the
lines Of Interpretation, expression,
quantity, and quality Of tone are little
short Of wonderful.
Miss McDonough, Miss Whitney and
Miss Bailey pleased the audience with
several difficult selections, which rep
resented vigorous work on the part Of
both teacher and pupils.
Mr.. jenkins showed excellent mas
.ery Of an Italian song, with charming
narmonies. In his own individual key
Mr.. Jenkins voice is remarkable for
strength and sweetness.
Mr.. Benefits very Individual voice
leyer fails TO please his audience, and
ieyer more than last Friday evening.
Mr.. Conroy's improvement is mark
ID and with hard work he will make
place for himself among good sing
RS. A chorus and male quartet we're
pleasing features Of the recital, and
heir work was highly appreciated by
he audience.
Mrs Brooks work throughout the
vening was as untirinR as IL has been
n her preparations for this recital.
The result was an enthused and an
audience, expressing
much appreciation for the muaie de-
,artment Of Burr and Burton Semin-
ry.

END OF INTERCOLLEGIATE
RIFLE CONTEST

Great Shooting by Teams from Nor
wich University. New Record,
Made.
Prof H. r. b. Flint, who is in New
! York during the easter holidays in
the interests Of Norwich University
reports his enthusiastic reception al
the various high schools. Prof. Flint
is accompanied by Cadet Major Ar
thur d. Edmunds, and Captain Leon
II. Ryder.
Prof. j. II. Sasserno Of the language
department Of Norwich University, Is
spending the easter holidays in Boston
and vicinity in the interests of the
| University. Prof. Sasserno has been
giving lectures at high schools and
has met with very enthusiastic re-
ception. He reports that a number Of
Boston high school men are to attend
the Junior Military Training Camp,
and that number of business men
and college men are also interested in
the Norwich Business Mems and Col
lege Mems Camp.
Norwich's Record breaking Rifle Team
In the intercollegiate match with
the University of West Virginia all
five men constituting the rifle team
made possible scores of 200 out of 200, |
and a total score of /, 900 out Of 1000. |
Not only did all the men firing on the
team make perfect scores, but three |
out of the five substitutes also made |
possible scores of 200. The total
score of the substitute team was $50
out of possible 1000, or for the
ten men shooting a score of 1889 out
of a possible 1000. The score of the
substitute team was well up among
the best scores of the intercollegiate
match, but was inferior to the scores
of the regular team. This total score
is probably record breaker in the
United States, for it is doubted
there ever has been any other
team in the United States having
eight men shoot possible scores out Of
ten men firing. In the match with
the University of California, the last
match of the intercollegiate shoot, the
team also made score of 1000 out
Of a possible 1000. Norwich's record
in the present Intercollegiate shoot
ing shows that the team has on five
made perfect scores. This
is also probably record breaker.
Thes matches are all the more re-
when it is borne in mind
that most of the colleges with which
Norwich is shooting have from three
to 80 times the number of men from
which to select. Another remarkable
hing about the Norwich team is that
he coaching, what little there is being
lone, is done by those regularly con-
lected with the University. A great ;
many of the Intercollegiate teams {
nave professional coaches, usually ex !
,ert shots from the United States
Army.

SAL LTSF|NE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, then the

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need a flushing occasion
ally, else we have backache and duh
misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
lived, acid stomach, sleeplessness
and all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo-
mcnt you feel an ache or pain in
the kidney region, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
drug store here, take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days, and your kidneys VIII
then act fine. This famous salts IS
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice combined with lithia,

activity. 1t also neutralizes the
acids in the urine so it no longer
irritatcs, thus ending bladder dis

Jad salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-

take now and then to keep their kid

Water as a Health Aid.

AN apple daI, it has been said,
will keep the doctor away says a
doctor in the Ladies Home Journal,
but so will plenty of water, and
water is cheaper than apples The
writer declares that because water is
so easily obtainable and seems such
a simple remedy we do not appre-
ciato its value. II is the old story Of
Naaman. the lepcr. If he had been
commanded to do great thing, an
unusual thing he would have valued
the suggestion. But such a simple
thing as bathing in the river Jordan.
But the body is as much in need of
internal bathing as of external bath
ing. The systematic drinking of water
is an excellent aid to health. Most
folk drink too little water and drink
it at the wrong time. Tie weight Of
medical opinion is against drinking
water with the meals, for the reason
that in drinking water while eating
tendency is to substitute the water
for sufficient mastication. While it
is practically impossible to drink too
much water. at least six glasses a
day should be drunk as a minimum.
These may be distributed; one glass
on arising. two glasses between break.
fast and luncheon and dinner, and
one glass on retiring"
