T. strain the mothers system.

Amusing the baby all day long
and then being up half the night
when the baby is feverish from

weakness and nervous exhaustion.
Yet ever the mother love watches
over the little one regardless of ach-
ing head and wearied body.
But for her baby's sake every
mother should keep strong and Wig
orous. She should renew her
strength to meet this steady sapping

poetic portrayal of "Soiree in Gran
ade" by Debussy.
"Perpetuum Mobile" by Weber
was presented at tremendous
tempo with such brilliancy and vi
tality and yet such clarity and re-
gard for tonal balance as to COM
pletely take the audience by storm.
Two Mendelssohn numbers, Spring
Song" and the Spinning Song" were
extra numbers at this time.
Four Chopin numbers made up
the following group. OF these Mod
turne" in r major brought one Of
the most exquisite interpretations
OF the evening. With its poetry and
charm, and the 'Polonaise" in A
major, received a spirited perfor-
nance with great incisive chords,
joyous rythmic swing, and wildly
expressed melodies. ...
The c sharp minor "Waltz," given
as an encore, received as fine an i'll
terpretation as this popular number
has ever had before an Omaha audi
cnce. and second encore brought
the BLACK Key Etude" of the same
composer, played with a scintillat-
ing brilliancy.
His Own Compositions.
The three numbers by Mr. Hof-
mann were received with the greatest
interest, and proved him to be
composer OF unusual merit. The
three short numbers presented were
OF widely different types. each in
its way distinctive, vital and inter-
pretative.
East and West presented an
oriental melody of much charm con-
trasted with second section of
equally characteristic beauty. and
"A Sanctuary" was poetic with its
hint OF chimes at the beginning and
close.
The BAT Nalse," by Strauss-Go-
dowsky, was tremendous number
in which the glowing melodies
OF the Strauss waltz were woven
into an intricate maze of technical
display with all the skill of this
great composer. Mr.. Holman pre-
sented this number with the great
est success, clearly portraying the
melodies wherever they appeared
and building massive climaxes. or
carefully depicting a softer and more
intimate passage. Among the en-
cores presented at this time was a
,olorful and dramatic Interpretation
Of the March From the Ruins OF
by Rubenstein. and the
'Juggleress,' by Moszkowski.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to rnois-
ten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better. ...-
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail. B.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro Phosphate te
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
3. to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are contin-
ualy being advertised for the purpose
of making thin people fleshy. develop
ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the soft
curved lines of health and beauty. there
are evidently thousands of men and
women who keenly feel their excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments. bitro-phosphate should produce
Q welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
il general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy. which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness. should soon disap-
pear, dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION While Bitro- Phosphate is
unsurpas sed for the relief of nervousness,
general debility, etc, those taking it who
do not desire to put on flesh should use
extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods.
