.flOFzAlEI QUARTET
IS GIVEN OVATION
ferson Auditorium Under Aus
pieces OF Musicians Club.

Although the FTonxaiey quartet was
heard for the first time In Richmon
last night, the fame of the four had
preceded them and IL was a most no.
table gathering that welcomed them
upon their appearance In the Jeffer-
son auditorium. The concert was
given under the auspices OF the Mu-
sicians' Club OF Richmond and every
one present declared Ii was the m st
nota Bile OF all the offerings OF this
enterprising organization.
Now the Flonzaiey quartet liz arts

who are prone to talk of the Kneisel
quartet but the Kneisel quartet. with
all its machine-like perfection lacked
the quality OF the Fonza ley quartet.
which has not only machine-iike per-
lection but individuality. They are
virtuosi.
The printed program included
Haydn's quartet In d major. op. 70.
No S: movement from Schumann's
quartet In A major, op. Al: Ovorak's
A American" quartet In r major;
number by Joseph Speight and an.
other by Percy Granger. OF rerambu-
lator fame. But the applause was so
insistent that the obliging artists
added extra numbers which thrilled
and delighted their hearers. II was
a most graceful appreciation of the
tribute paid them.
The Dvorak number was partic-
ulariy delightful. probably because
the great Bohemian had caught the
atmosphere of music familiar to
Southerners. There Is no little sim
iiarity between barb5'ic strains of
different lands and peoples which per-
haps explains the success of Dvorak
In this particular Certain 1t IL that
he wove the old plantation into his
music and the FlonZaleys interpreted
It in a manner worthy of the scom-
poser and themselves.

This excellent, common sense health
measure being adopted
by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
Iof limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
materials, poisons, sour bile and tox-
| ms; thus cleansing, sWeeting and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach. e.
just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the elm
NATIVE organs.
Those who wake ups with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have a dull, aching head, sallow COM
! plexion, acid stomach; others are
subject to bilious attacks or con-
|stipation, should obtain, a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the
drug store. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value Of inside bathing. Those who
continue it each morning are assured
Of pronounced results, both in regard
to health and appearance. II

keep out of the Germans way while
the injured man applied his tourni-
quet.

I TANNING the coming weeks me

A@AA >Ni4<N llle CoiHliiS week ttIe-
nus, which include the Christmas
dinner, will require careful
thought and shopping to keep the budget
within the limit of SIG. Turkey could
hardly be included for that sum, and so
q real Christmas roast" with its ap-
petiZing accompaniment of Yorkshire
pudding Ga typical English holiday
6innerl is suggested as very good sub
stitute
Select the first two ribs from prime
cut of beef, and be sure that it is marbled
with tiny streaks of clear white fat.
Properly roasted until crisp and brown,
with plenty of rich meat gravy that fol
lows the knife as it is sliced, it needs
no apology even when taking the place
OF the Christmas bird. A standing roast
presents d better and more imposing ap-
pearaDco than if the bones are removed
and the beef rolled. 1t is also con
tended that meat roasted with the bones
has a better flavor.
The horseradish canapes served for
the first course of the holiday dinner are
somewhat of novelty, and they are not
difficult to make The flavor of horse
radish goes particularly we'll with beef
and there is just enough of the grated
root used to give piquant taste.
The breakfast menu for Christmas
Day is very simple, and the hot creamed
chicken (for luncheon or supper) is
prepared in the chatting dish from canned
boned fowl. A bit of minced green pepper
or pimentos may be added to the sauce
with the chicken and the whole cooked
for five minutes over the hot water pan.
The individual meat pies for Fridays
luncheon are made from the last of the
roast beef, and the bones are added to
the vegetable soup served on Saturday.
Save every particle of fat from the
roast poured off from the dripping PAM
and use it for shortening and frying pur-
poses. The crust for the meat pies will
