more important compositions have
been tinged with the national spirit

Operatic Origins

Italy 10 the birthplace Of opera. In
the year 1924 there was performed
the first acknowledged opera
Daphne which was composed by
one Peri, a member OF a literary So
ciety In Florence.
The modern opera Is directly de-
scended from practicses that werc In
stituted and maintained by the
sasas1if.s These practices vert called
mysteries. or the presentation in
drama from !. biblical stories. Mir
acle Plays, an off -S,4oot OF the Myster-
les. presenting. hero and romantic
incidents from the lege dairy lives Of
the saints. were further sources OF
the opera, as were also AZ alitfes,
portrayine allegories in which GER
tain religious and moral quail. 80
were personified.
In the early days the performance
of opera was wholly dependent upon
the patronage OF wealthy perSonagea
and was strictly private. Later when
opera houses were established the
opera became public amusement
and a source OF education. musically,
to all classes. This opened up a new
field for both yocaiists and instru-
ruentalists.
The opera In France had Its rise
in or about I645 when Cardinal MAJ
arin introduced 1t to tho French
people. The title of the first French
opera was la Pastorale'' written by
a Paris organist by the name of Cam
bert, who afterwards settled IN Lon
| don.
Purcell is given as the composer Of
the first English opera, viz: Dido
and Enaas.' written for Young
ladies school when the composer was
; bu, "a youth. Of nineteen.

Mr.. julius Clemmons after having
such narrow escape from death,
due from a sudden attack of acute in

We are CHAD to know that our
baseball boys are putting forth an
extra effort this season in this par
ticular sport. They have gone into
the game with full determination
of winning the seasons best games.
Although they were a little late in
starting and have not yet received
their full line up of suits, etc, they
hope to be fully equipped in a few
days as the order has been placed
some days past.
They have played only six games
this season and out of this number
they have taken FIVE of the leading
games by big majority Of scores.
The only game lost was the first
played in the season, VS.. Oak They
have played three other games With
Oak since then and all these fell 80
our boys credit One of these games
was played in Belleview on the
Fourth Of July, at which time they
played a double header, first taking
the game from Oak, score Spar 3,
Oak 5; then Pedro played the winning
team. Score in this game Spar IA,
Pedro O.
Last Thursday they played a pref
ay nice game with Micanopy. Score
Spar 5, Micanopy 2.
Of course we do not hope that our
boys will win all the games hut they
will do their best to make IL interest
ing. They will be glad to receive
challenge from any team that feels
like they want to play a good stiff
game of ball

Loss Of Appetite

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
If you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for a day or two you will
soon have relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals SO as to
give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach a period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then
if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount Of
outdoor exercise every day you viii
not need TO worry about your appe-
lite. When the. loss Of appetite is
caused by constipation, as is often
the case, that should be corrected al
once. A dose Of Chamberlain's Tab
lets will do .-Anti-Monopoly Drug
