there are evidences in the score. as

singular that the name Of the author

Schirmer's publication, while that Of

than if Mr.. Bodanzky was to make

the place Of the spoken dialogue, which
was largely sacrificed to fit the work

this, but wrote his own. Planche's
lines are stilted, turgid and out

sbbreviation of the text has generally
been done by-~a heroic operation.

BEER MUST co Is
ULTlMATUM OF CONGRESS

Congress has taken the Brewery
business in hand very pronouncedly.
If President Wilson is given his food
appropriation, there must be no
more brewing of beer. This is GER
tainly reflecting the sentiment of
the people at homes. The America n
people have demonstrated their abil-
ity as we'll as there honest desire to
comply with the food regulations but
every where one hears the remark,
when it becomes necessary for peo-
pie to live under these strict food
regulations certainly the frightful
waste of food stuff in the brewing
of beer should be stopped.
It is common knowledge too that
practically every Brewery is a Ger
man institution. Call over the
brands of beer and count the names
that are not a mouth full of Ger
man. The only strnage thing about
this business is that these German
headquarters should have been per-
mitted to have continued business SO
long as they have. The people are
with Congress on this elimination of
the Brewery.-Roswell Record.
