 "A well balanced quartet is what I have chosen" Mrs Bissell said "and whether in ensemble or solo feel that no better material could possibly be gathered together musically in this city where musical talent abounds.''

 bOthers

If you must have your meat every day eat it but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel 1t from the blood They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with q dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache. dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy full of sediment. the channels often get sore and irri, tated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with l.thia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine. so it no longer irritates thus ending bladder weakness.

Mrs. Bissell said. "As some one remarked, the words of the sermon as delivered by the minister are driven home to the heart by the beautiful music. MT. Gillespy, whose lovely voice
 is so admirably adapted to the appealing gospel hymns, has sung a number of these selections immediately after the sermon, and the effect upon the congre- gation is beautiful. Sometimes the guar tet sings the selection, but always it makes an appeal and is happy and pleasing finale to sacred and beautiful service"
 "It has always been my earnest desire to give to the Highlands Methodist Church ever since I assumed the role Of director of the choir" Mrs BisseIl con- tinued, music of the very highest order, and I have never been contented with letting good enough alone but I have always striven for something better better music. better programmes, and, having this in mind most prominently now since the great inspiration that church music has received from the congregation of our church, the quartet which have organized and with our excellent organ ist. we mean to set new goal. a new ideal. for our choir music at Highlands Methodist Church.

no subways, but only stages, ana when in bad weather it took practically two hours to go from the Battery to Forty second street. Today there are sky scrapers about Forty second and Sew enty-second streets, where there were vacant lots and fields. At that time there were no musical papers. Dr. Leo- bold Damrosch, the father of Walter and
 Frank Damrosch, had not yet started the Oratorio and Symphony societies. All we had then in the way of an established orchestra was the Philhar- monic, led by Theodore Thomas. Its existence was largely due to the enter
 prising liberality of a great piano house.
 Concerts were given principally at Steinway Hall by imported artists. To- cal musicians had little show. Chicker- ing hall, now skyscraper, had not
 been built. True there was opera at the Academy of Music when Mapleson
 or some other impresario came over from Europe with a company; though the season was often in danger of col
 lapse and was only saved by the lib
 erdllty or a dnueTDlit or OtlieT mutt millionaire. There was also opera at
 the Grand opera house under Maretzek.
 Music in those days was largely de- pendent upon the enterprise of the
 great piano houses, which vied with one another in their generous support of every worthy musical effort. n Boston there was only the Handel and Haydn Society. There was no Boston Sym phony, no opera, except for a week or two when one of the managers from New York would take his company there. Chicago had no regular orches- tra and was also dependent upon New York for the appearance of artists of distinction or for week or two of opera The same conditions practically existed in San Francesca and other cities.
 "One of the features, however, of that time was the excellence of the military wholly maintained at the present time. They contributed largely to the popular music of the day. Gilmore and his great Boston festival, for which he got the Guards band and the bands of the Guides of Paris bands from Germany. from Austria and even from Russia, is still remembered by old timers. There were some good music teachers and but few music schools or conservatories. Church music was of a very simple

Clean Teeth New Way
 Without I ooth Paste

called Steroline and its many enthu- siastic users have found that 1t not only thoroughly cleanses every crack and cranny of the teeth, but that it also acts as a mouth Its agreeable prophylactic action kills the disease germs before they have chance to cause trouble, and leaves the mouth cool, refreshed.
 Stcroline attacks mouth disorders at their source. It does not rely on chalk and grit to scrape the teeth clean. Instead of irritating and tear ing, its effect on the gums is soothing and pleasant. And it does clean the teeth and keeps them white and strong. You can say good-by to cavities, discolored teeth, septic sore throat and bad breath when you buy your first bottle of Steroiine.
 Get bottle from your druggist to- day. A few drops on your brush are sufficient Just brush the teeth in the regular way, and note the difference from ordinary tooth pastes. Your whole mouth "feels clean" after using Steroline.
 If you do not like Sterolinc after 6ve-day trial return the cardboard box to your druggist and your money will be cheerfully refunded.

 In discussing this matter with Mrs. Bissell as to the paid choir and the paid organist, she said;
 "The day has long since passed when a volunteer choir can be used in a church. In the first place. there is no incentive to the singers; they will not attend rehearsals; they are not inter- ested sufficiently to give up other en- agreements for choir rehearsals which are important and necessary. The paid choir singer not only must be paid, but paid well, for it is a profession today. In New York some of the best known singers in the world have given up con cert and opera and the recital to devote themselves exclusively to choir work. In the great choirs of New York City. where the names of organist and singer spell fame, the churches are crowded with eager, anxious visitors-outside of the regular congregation--wh pick and choose certain churches because of the good music.

and most select that has ever been heard in this church and it is fitting and proper to thus honor Dr. Wells on the occasion of his last sermon here, with this beautiful musical setting-an ap- propriate accompaniment to his words of farewell to his congregation and friends.
 We have chosen the Dudley Buck number. Rock of Ages. one of the most beautiful of all church selections, for our anthem Mrs. BisseH said yesterday in speaking of the music today. And The Crucifix Q"aure) a duet of exquisite ca dences and melody, will be sung by ,dr. Gillespy and Mir. Bissell This duet is enc of the greatest favorites With sing ers-being often sung py baritone and soprano; notably beautiful is the seiec- ton as heard on the victrola, sung by Emma Flames and her husband, Emilio deGorgorza. Personally, think it is far more lovely when sang by tenor and basso. We have planned to make the music today unusually attractive be- his last Sunday at Highlands Meth odist Church as one of beautiful music lovely environment, and sweet affec- tion.
 My plans for the choir this winter are quite elaborate" Mrs. Bissell said, every festival and special occasion will be accompanied by elaborate musical pro- srammes. Thanksgiving will have par .icuiarly beautiful music; the holidays, Christmas, will also have appropriate music. The choir will present Flaxing- son r. Iarker's The Star of Bethlehem which is one of the prettiest{ {Christmas antatas I have ever heard"
 During the month of March our choir gill be presented by the Music Study Hub at the Church of the Advent" Mrs. Bissel said, "in recital and a number of other special occasions will be on our 10 Easter"

Wonderful New Liquid Dentifrics Makes Harmful Gritty Pastss
 Unnecessary.

For many years prominent dentists have been preaching the danger and uselessness of coarse, chalky tooth pastcs. Specialists have long known that abrasive dentifrices not only do not thoroughly cleanse teeth, but that their filing action actually capacities decay.

Philadelphia. Pa. Victims of eye strain wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it: T was almost blind Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It WAS like miracle to me-" A lady who used it says: The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for Is days every thing seems clear. I can read even fine print without glasses" Another who used it says: T was bothered with eye strain caused by oyerworked. tired eyes which in- duced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work and without them could not read my own name an envelope or the type-writ- ing on the machine before me. l can do both now and have discarded my long dis tance glasses altogether. count the fluttering leaves the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like dim green blur to me. can not express my joy at what it done for me-"
