AMERICAN PATRlorlsM HAS
 PLACE IN OUR MUSIC

In making his announcement of his 1 all American series of ten concerts, among whom was included Professor
 Frank L. Farrell, who is soon to give 1 a piano recital in this city. A. A. Van De Mark. struck the following patri- otic note:s
 | In my work along musical lines ! recognize as citizen what I owe my fellow citizens: in other words, if | wish to be deeply and broadly patri- ot@c it is my duty to show preference to the American artist rather than to to the foreign. Shrewd manipulatorS and overZea1ous methods used in pro-
 noting concert activities favorable to 1 the foreign artist and against the rights and privileges of the American artist should be corrected by a greats | CT infusion of devotion to the princi- | ples of citizenship. The average
 American forgets that it was not | Wagner, Verdi. Mozart and Beethoven
 musical, but rather that these coun-
 tries produced the composers. We Americans have been neglecting our
 own talent to chase the will the wisp of foreign label. We have paid ! to the foreign artist thousands of dollars which might have been used l to better advantage on developing our
 own musicians. America will become truly musical when it cares more for 1 the art than the artist when it be- | comes democratic enough to give true
 credit to ability wherever found; when 1 it is loyal enough to support art for
 arts sake.
 We need to keep continually before
 our own eyes and ever flashing before 1 the public eye and ringing in the pub | lie ear the fact that we have a coun- try to be proud Of It is ever more
 necessary for us who are by birth and | descent Americans not to throw
 away our birthright and wander back
 to bow down before the alien god that
 our forefathers forsook. True patri- otism means America first, last and all
 the time.
 I take great pleasure in announcing 1 the first American series of concerts by all American artists.

O-PHOSpHATE IS GOOD FOR THIN
 NERVOUS PEOPLE


 A French scientist has discovered an organic phosphate which should be a very effective remedy for weak nerves, sleeplessness, thinness and lack of strength, energy and vigor.
 Its substance is described by special ists as Identical in composition with certain vital. clements naturally found in. brain and nerve cells and one which when taken into the human system is quickly converted into healthy Ii ing tissue.
 This phosphate is already widely known among druggists in this coun- try as BitroPhosphate and some phv- sicians claim that through it's use strength, energy, vigor and nerve force are frequently increased in two weeks Dr. Frederick Kolle, Editor of New York Physicians Who's Who" says it Should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hospital in the United States As there are a great variety of so-called phosphates, those who wish to test this substance should be sure to get the genuine Bitro- Phosphate.

SAGE TEA DARkENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Cont stay grsyl Here's simple recipe that anybody can apply
 with a hair brush

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded. gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's { me. She used it to keep her hair leautifully dark, glossy and attrac- live. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in gradients, which can be depended up on to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobobdy can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, it becom es beautifully dark and glossy.
