THE POWER OF MUSIC
BY DANIEL MULLER.

Technical training does not necessarily
create a love for music. It is associa-
ton with it that counts. Children
should share their music with their
parents and friends. They should be
encouraged to sing and play at home
and in the homes of their friends
They should become more deeply in
terested in national songs, folk songs
and religious songs, all of which will
be the ladder up which they will climb
to better understanding and greater
love for music. No other agency can
surpasS it in power to call forth the
best qualities of citizenship anG homo
making. Show me family where
father, mother and children gather
frequently in a good old family sing
and I will show you a happy l1ome
Too many people are trying labor saw
ing devices in making music. They
want it done entirely without person
ally producing any part of it. without
personally constituting part of thai
which creates.
In the following article will set
forth-the reasons why I believe pro-
gram makers and concert performers
are to blame III part for an alarming
lack of interest in concerts displayed
by the public.

DON'T EAT ENOUGH BREAD
High Wages Cause Americans to Buy
Expensive Foods.


Expensive Foods.
People of the United States do not
eat enough bread A scientific author
ity of Cornell Medical college attrib-
utes tie small quantity of bread con-
sumed here to-the fact that high wages
are paid and that people are inclined
to purchase the most expensive foods.
Not until the big world conflict was
we'll launched did the present gen
Grafton realize the significance of
bread and the vast part it plays in the
well-being of the individual.
A shortage of transportation faci-
tiles and chaotic trade conditions gem
orally during the war resulted in dis
tressing food conditions that brought
home to the individual a keener real
ization of the true value of bread
One writer in contemplating its ire
mendous economic importance eX
claimed To-day nations are made or
wrecked because of their wheat sup
ply. or lack of it,
The lack of sufficient bread is a big
factor in the conditions of unrest
which exist in many parts of the earth
today. The significance that is at
tached to an abundant bread supply
is illustrated by the fact that in order
to avoid the dangers of bread riots,
several European nations subsidized
the wheaton loaf and charged the loss
up-to the cost of the war.
The French have always been big
bread eaters. They get so per cent
of their diet in the form of bread. The
people of Spain and Italy are also
hearty consumers of bread. Under the
stress of war. the Italians derived
90 per cent of their nourishment from
bread.
Great Britain also greatly increased
her consumption of bread during war
times. A very restricted meat supply
meant that the British simply had to
eat more bread.
