Admirable Recital in Car

The fifth Sunday concert Of the

three: Vincent dIndy's "Istar" varia-
tions, Lalo's Symphonic Espagnoie''
for violin and orchestra and three
old Flemish folksongs arranged for
orchestra by Arthur de Greet, a Bel
gian, now a professor at the Conser a.
toire of Brussels. The violin soloist
was Efrem Zimbolist. who took the
place of Toscha Seidel. originally an
nounced for this concert.
Mr.. Zimbalist's playing Of the
familiar Spanish diversion OF VI. Ialo
evoked acclamations. II was a most
praiseworthy exploitation of the artistic
design Of the composer. whose heart
was true to rhythm IL not always to
the perfect outline Of Spanish melody.
The young Russian violinist, who may
he regarded as belonging to the second
generation OF Auer's artistic children.
may or may not have performed the
composition in a style similar to that
in which Seidel would have played IL.
That Is a matter OF no moment. and
Auer. as every one knows, allowed the
Individuality of his pupils free develop
ment.

An mirabIe Delivery.

An Admirable Delivery.
What Mr.. Zimbalist did was to play
the music with great beauty OF tone,
with incisive rhythm and with inspirit-
ing warmth of feeling. 1t was an ad
mirable delivery Of pleasing music.
The folksonG pieces of Mr.. de Greet
we're engaging instrumental investi-
lures of simple tunes. The first war
the song of the Solitary Rose" which.
like certain roses of womanhood. was
born to blush unseen and thus to die a
futility The second was about Mary
Ann, who went TO spin for the soldier
boys and incidentally to love a few.
The third celebrated the antipathy Of
the Belgians to the statue of the Duke
of Alva, and Mr.. Damrosch could not
resist the temptation to tell the
audience all about It.
This was his first speech OF the
season. and ii was considerably brief.
The folk tunes were all much more in
teresting than the speech. They were
bright. vivacious and ingeniously
treated by the composer. They are
pretty orchestral bubbles blown by an
educated humorist.
Mozart and DIndy are enjoying a
season OF favor. Both would have
sounded better in n large auditorium.
The symphony was well played. but
the delicacy Of its flavor was partly
lost. The "Istar" variations were per
formed admirably, hut the instrumen-
tai utteranCe sometimes ran close to
tumult and shouting II is impossi-

in which skilful technic and clean cut

this work with Bruch's G minor CON

ness Of his tone. the polish Of his
delivery ami his poetic feeling.
The last movement might have been
little more brilliant, hut its general
beauty was of a high order. Among

Womens' complaints often prove to be

You may suffer pain in the back, head

Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH

We will send, on request, to any re-
tail druggist, 100 or more little book
lets, just issued, on Spanish Influenza,
giving the latest information, about
this disease-its history-the symp-
tIcdlIHCut, anu
the use of vick's VapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physicians treatment.
NEW WAYS TO USE vAPoRUB.
In addition to the usual method of
using VapoRub-that is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths-our customers are
writing US daily telling of their sue
cess In using VapoRub in other. ways,
particularly as preventive. They
melt little in a spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt 1t In benzoin
steam kettle. Where the steam kettle
is not available. VapoRub can be used
in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full of boiling water, put in
half a teaspoon of vapoRub from time
to time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, DR..
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is excellent-just put little up the
nostrils from time to time and snuff
well back into the air passages.
