Many Of Composer Gihertes

words l usually study a poem a
long time before I make a compost
i ton for it, although at other times
! may instantly do SO. Sometimes
melody will be running through my
mind for days before | make 4
! scratch on paper and many of my
, best songs l have written and laid
! away for several years before they
| are published-if when l take them
ont again ana play them they have
| the same appeal, well and good, but
| compositions worth while cannot be
rushed. All this, however, l have
| told you before, but perhaps you
| will be interested in some of my eX-
| periences on the stage as boy, for
| | was q trouper for some time and
| Lad all sorts Of ups and downs. Got
| dis much rs SIS a week ut one time,
! ana my travelling expenses, although
| | will admit there were not many
| Pullmans thrown in ana we didn't
stay at the very best hotels. Far
from it.
Il earned the name of the Old
! Maid because | used to carry things
| in nv trunk with which to doll up
! those barren rooms. ] used to carry
! 4 silk scarf for the mantle, pictures
ana little bits Of briCa -brac. and by

| stand ugly things, and to have lived
! in one of those rooms for a week,
ugh, / never could have stood it.
"Thcy also used to call me the
cooks pet, because l never failed to

Most HumanIlls

CHEMISTS agree that |
- the stomach is respon.
sible for at least 500 Of
all human ills.
Indigestion is a direct re-
suit of a disordered stom-

A torpid liver, palpitation
of the heart, shortness of
breath, dizzy spells, back
ache, nervousness, head
ache, constipation, rheuma-
tism and that tired-out, rum

also in most cases caused
by stomach troubles.
Tanlac, the worlds great

tone up the stomach so you
will eat better, sleep better,
