II Surely Do Enjoy My CofTees, I'm
Not Afraid TO Drink 1t. Either. for / Have
a Box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets" !"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets mix with
the food you eat. The stomach by its
peristaltic action churns and moves the
food around the stomach walls and the
powerful ingredients in these tablets in
stantly begin digesting the food as they
are forced through it and around it.
The use of one of these tablets after
meals will in very short time correct the
faults of digestion and you will enjoy your
coffee and food without the old time dis
tress of indigestion.
Every drug store carries Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. Price, so cents.

DAMROSCH AND CRAINCER
DELIGHTFUL IN CONCERT
Pianist's ''Kiddie" Spirit Contrasts
Sharply With Fate" in Music
Of Beethoven

DIR. Damrosch and the Symphony
Society OF New York, with Percy
Granger In the double role OF soloist
and composer, gave the fourth con
cert OF the orchestral series at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon. The program was a delightful
one.
Granger eyokes from his piano Is
ever present, but this youth OF fun
and fantasy In music has reached a
depth and roundness OF tone In his
playing that carries him 10 greater
heights than does his commanding
technique alone. Rhythmically force
ful, he swung out the exquisite
themes OF this Grieg work with ca
ressing musical beauty. with liquid
runs and virtuoso passages OF trills
and double trills. and with strong
accent of type in sparkling rgure
work OF delightful delineation.
VerttabIe Tour de Force.
The great cadenza OF the first
movement was a veritable tour de
force, dynamically forceful, with
those vital clear chords that Mr..
Granger strikes as with steel NAL
let's" contrasting with the exquisite
mellow tenderness OF his harp-like
SicoNs Hb am thcot
rang out In the andante like crystal
chimes, and again his tiny fugue
runs were like pearl clear riyulets.
Type in the finale was paramount.

characters, keenly alive to the inner
harmonies OF the music, while II was
all timed with rare delicacy and
taken at a masterful pace"
Fate" in the music OF Beethoven
was brought out with dramatic, even
raucous intensity that Mr.. Damrosch
contrasted with a fair peaceful pas
torale spirit in the great fifth SYM
phony. The counter theme develop
ment OF the forceful andante was ef-
fectively worked out, with light
touch in a real bravurs reading OF its
contrasting theme. After spirited
fugue episode, the muffled 'cellos
gave an impressive air OF mystery
that resolved into an equisite decres-
cendo OF all the strings. without in
terruption the orchestra took up the
heroic. finale. that was big, broad and
alive.
