OF food production, believes that eventually
possibly sooner than the world expects. England
will be harvesting enough food to last through

What IL the Cause Of
Backache?
Backache? ?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from it. Sometimes the cause Is OBJ
scure, but DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. 4,
a high medical authority, says the
cause is very often form OF catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp-
tom Is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations. weakness, I'M
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
full periods, irritation, headache ana
a general rundown condition. ANY
woman in this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, for
DR.. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DR.. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause OF
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness. and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
ite Prescription is intended to do.

The art collection Of the late Frederic
r. Halsey, consisting of massive an
tique and modern furniture, porcelains.
bronzes. glass, rug and hangings. is now
on view in the Anderson Galleries. The
collection is SO extensive that for Its
dispersal the sale will require four ses-
sions beginning Wednesday.
One Of the most impressive Of Mr..
Halsey's objects of art is a large French
clock of ormolu deliberately designed
and wrought with skill. The dial with
the hours upon 1t ia placed upon a large
celestial globe n winged youth pointing
to the hour with an arrow. There are
two large con1shodes In rosewood and
ormolu done in the Louis XIV. manner:
drawing room suite upholstered in
Aubusson tapestry and many cabinets
and tables.
Lovers of French bronzes and stat

played the piano Accomplishments. This
appearance of the two distinguished art
lists served to attract great assembly
The auditorium, with its standing room
was all taken and as many seats as
could be placed on the stage were filled
At the beginning of the concert the
audience suffered some disappointment
when an announcement was made that
Nine. Giuck had found Yesterday morn
ing that she had cold but would sing,
while craving Indulgence.
Under these conditions any adverse
comment on Nine, G,uck's voice as heard
at her recital yesterday is. OF course
without value. For the record sake
however. it MAJ be said that her beau
tltul lyric soprano voice was at Its best
in certain songs. when. indeed, II seemed
to have ken on an attractive fulness

hand she often sang with perceptble
effort and there was an impaired tone

In the Interpretation of the pro-
gramr,e Nine. Gluck's art has proba
advantage here as yesterday, In the

Her programme. which was admlra-
bly, chosen. included old airs by Glenn

Some OF the numbers in the list espe

admirable phrasing and n fine iegat,
style; one of the Castelnuovo songs
'Beauteous Lily" which was repeated
and with the singer facing those seated
on the stage. Rachmanioff's "Lilacs,
sung In English, and Moussorgsky's "Ho

A gem in the first group was Spohr''

itely sung as 10 sentiment and phrasing
and so was Wade's Love Was Once {
