Chronic Rheumatism Is
Not Dangerous
It Is, However, Very Painful,
and If Not Properly and
Promptly Treated the
Trouble Will Return
and Eventually
Cripple You.

Chronic rheumatism affects the hips,
shoulders, knees and other large joints,
Sometimes it is confined to just one
joint. Again it may travel from tone
part to another part of the body.
The attacks cease and for weeks
there is no temperance of the trouble
the patient is seemingly well. The
pains return, however, and unless the
proper treatment is used the sufferer
becomes a rheumatic cripple.
If you are now nursing a rheumatic
knee, shoulder or some other joint,
or have suffered in the past from
this trouble you should do something
at once to prevent future attacks.
There is no treatment better suited
for the relief of Chronic Rheumatism
than Ploughis Prescription C-2223.
This treatment contains some of the
most valuable medicinal ingredients
known to the medical profession; in
fact, it was for years used by a sue
cessfuI doctor.
Plough's Prescription C-2223 is sup
piled in concentrated liquid form to
be taken in small doses. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood-eliminating all
the impurities that are causing the
aches and pains.
As it is very important that the
liver be active and the bowels open,
1928 Liver Pills are recommended for
use in connection with the liquid Pre-
scription Treatment.
So great is the faith of the manu-
facturers in Plough's Prescription c.
1928 that they will refund the price
paid for two $3.50 bottles, if salts
factory relief is not secured by the
patient.
Your druggist should be able to sup
ply you with Plough's Prescription
C-2223 at $3.50 a bottle. 1929 Liver
Pills at 26c; or the 2223 Laboratory,
Memphis, Tenn, will send both pre-
paid on receipt of $1.75. Write for
sample of pills and leaflet.

Tom Terriss o Produce
Picture Without T';sgo,

Tom Terriss, Nitagraph director for
Alice Joyce, has added an innovation
to the motion picture industry in the
completion Of a story without any sub
titles. The story is a drama in five
reels. 1t provides for very few char
acters, but resorts to the power of
suggestion entirely. The atmosphere
and the locale tell the story, which
leads up to a succession Of clmaxes.
especially strong in their method of
presentation. Mr. Terriss himself was
in quandary many times, even though
he knew the story, as to its clearness,
and he has provided for many ingen-
ious devices to explain the popular
phrases such as "the next morning" or
"a month later"
In the first instance beautiful
scene of sunrise is shown, and in the
second a flash of a monk is shown
turning the calendar from April to
May /.
The story is now under the consider
alton Of Samuel Rothapfel of the
Rothapfel Pictures Corporation. Dur
ing his managership at the Rialto and
Rivoli theatres he was anxious to ex-
hibit this sort Of a picture, and now
it may be his pleasure to produce it,

always been our intention to establish

the Schola Cantorum in Paris, but the
last few years here have not been
propitious for raising the funds. 1t
is thus unfair for people to go to our
concerts demanding that they receive
absolute perfection; indeed such per
lection is impossible without our de-
parting from the original aims of the
society
II do realize, however, that a great
Improvement is possible and must be
made, an improvement which could
not obtain under the old system. There
will therefore probably be a partial
reorganization of the Schola upon my
return, and a paid women's chorus will
probably be introduced. In the past
only our male horus has been paid

male chorus has at all times proved
equal to its opportunity. But the
women's chorus is another matter.
This chorus is unpaid, with the re-
hearsals we held for our last concert
this year an average of one third of
the women attended each rehearsal.
War work, charities and, of course, the
influenza, were partly responsible for
this, yet similar state Of affairs has
more or less obtained at all our re-
hearsals. ] do not blame the young

IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC

"As it is at present not only do
the women often fail to appear at re-
hearsals, but each year there is a diff
1erent set of women, so you can see
that my work has been rendered doubly
hard. Another difficulty which is not
usually recognized, but which will be
appreciated by other choral conductors
is the opposition of the singing
teacher. These teachers are obsessed
with tho idea that choral singing is,
as matter of course, harmful to
voices, and have not appreciated the
fact that, on the contrary, the kind
of programmes offered are conducive
to and, in fact, dependent upon good
singing. Thus, while we have had the
support Of a few we'll wishers among
the singing teachers, we have lost at
least fifty voices each season by this
latest opposition, and it has been q
continued process of filling open places,

ing the war, to GO into the expense of
hiring an orchestra. We have not.
however, ever intended permanently
to relinquish the total use of an orches-

the folksongs of all lands and intro
ducing them into America we fell
that VIC have opened new vistas and
new possibilities for choral concerts.
Moreover, our work. has proved popu-
lar. Despite the assertion that choral
music is no longer liked, our concerts
have more than paid fSf themselves.
If they had not we could never have
continued, as we have never had anv
huge funds back Of us. But New York
evidently desires to know the folk
music Of all lands, and in introducing
it we feel that we are adding some-
thing vital to Americas artistic life.
Indeed, other choral organizations are
now assimilating our programmes, and
notably the great chorus in Barcelona

There is in New York no musical
organization which during the last

of interesting novelties than the Schola

sble for their selection and often for
their choral arrangement is the

indefatigable in his work as con-
ductor lie has chosen the cho-
rus, trained it, and damaged it

When then it was recently announced
that Mr. SCHNEIDER had rendered his
resignation to the Schola's board of
directors there was keen feeling of
regret among all who had the good Of
greet was shared by the board with the
result that Mr. SCHNEIDER has withdrawn
his resignation and will take up his
duties as soon as he returns from Rus

the reason for its withdrawal Mr..
SCHNEIDER has some interesting things
to say, bearing upon the choral situa4
ton, and the difficulty of continuing
with chorus half paid and half vol

In this connection he answers some
of the criticisms lcvelled at the
