HOARSENESS.

Hoarseness S m m develops
quickly after an ordinary type of the
common cold, which frequently has as
a part of it's disturbance acute laryn-
gifts.
We also are we'll acquainted with
the type of hoarseness which one may
acquire at a football game or at a
political rally. If one knows just how
to use his voice, he May be able to
make a greater racket than his seat
mate and yet not become hoarse.
Hoarseness is a misuse, rather than
overuse of ones voice. Acute laryn-
gifts is the simple cause of this game"
hoarseness. The vocal cords may be
said to slacken down and a deeper and
huskier tone quality results. Con-
tinued forcing of the voice may re-
suit in complete loss of speech for
time. s}"
In women or girls there is usually
no marked lowering in the pitch or
tones of the vocal cords. The con-
dition which plays more important
part causes a complete aphonia or loss
of voice after slight attack of laryn-
gifts. In connection with such loss Of
voice there is the condition known as
"hysteric aphonia." Such condition
commonly proceeds an ordinary at
tack of acute laryngitis.
Bear in mind that such condi-
ton is not the result of purely psychic
causes as a rule, and yet it bears on
some psychic factors. The connection
in such a case is brought about by
cerebral innovation (the wild and the
result of the acute laryngitis. Some
times this lost voice difficulty may per-
sist and run into hysteria for q time
In avoiding conditions which cause
hoarseness be careful to protect the
use of your vocal cords and rest them
as much as possible. Chronic hoarse-
ness or aphonia is due almost always
to organic disease of the larynx or to
some unnatural pressure causing par
tial paralysis by tumor or other causes.
Hoarseness demands careful treat
ment and the avoidance of disturbing
conditions. If you value the use of
your voice be careful of colds and
laryngitis.

JUST A SCANDAL MoNGER.

Frank Vanderlip may be great fnancier,
but he has rotten judgment when he comes to
protecting the good name of his friends
against scandal.
1t may be that Vanderlip was tired of being
off the first page and he decided that sacrifc-
ing man, whose greatness had been halowed
by his recent death, was one way to get back.
It will be very difficult for him to convince any
one that he sought to best serve the memory
of the late President Harding by fiinging out
the suggestion that he might have secured
some easy. money"
Any man who has good newspaper knows
that the price paid to Mr.. Harding for his prop
erty at Marion was not exorbitant. The time
has passed when newspaper is run on hand
press and when it's assets are worth only few
hundred dollars - Mr.. VANDERBILT evidently did
not give to the scattering of this scandal the
same consideration he would have given to a
financial problem. If some one had suggested
that great bank with which Mr.. Vanderlip
was connected was not solvent and he knew
the suggestion was false, he would hardly have
been expected to get to the nearest newspaper
office and give out advance copy on a rumor
that the bank was unsound in order to get a
chance to prove that it was

WE ARE FOR A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

w
The movement to organize symphony or
chestra in Kenosha is one which should have
both the moral and financial support of men
and women who want to serve the best inter
ests of Kenosha. Organization for the adj
vancement of music in any community is an
excellent thing and the, best form of this or
ganization is an orchestra 1t may be some
time before the Kenosha Symphony Orchestra
is in class with similar organizations in Chi
cago and Minneapolis or before it rivals the
Philadelphia Philharmonic Club but all organi-
cations of this kind must have start.
An organization in this city, along the same
lines as the great organizations in other cities,
will offer chance for the development of Ke-
nosha musicians. There are lot of them who
would like to join in a municipal project, but
they have no money with which to finance it.
1t is going to be necessary for these mu-
sicians to serve for years with little or no rec
ompense for their work save the honor of doing
something to improve the musical atmosphere
of their town. If they are willing to give their
time some other people should be willing to
give little of their money
1t will not take great deal of money to pro-
vide for the proper starting of such an orches-
ira. There will be music to buy conductor
will have to be employed to give some profess
sional training to the organization. Just few
men, seeing the value of such an organization
can make it reality.
Volunteers to aid in the financial support
of an orchestra in Kenosha are now being
awaited. It is certain that it would be easy to
raise the small sum of money needed if some
intelligent start could be made in the matter
