BY AKsLkNE LYT4E.
How many 81 you agree witt

ever You opinion Isl nine chances
out OF ten, It Is formed Nnd In.
nuenced directly by the kind 81
music you heard as 4 child and
the ATTITUDE that was taken
toward good music in your home.
"A taste for good music Is q
thing that must be acquired.
Some people iIlStinctiNely love
music in general, but 1t Is just
as so much sound, and to really
enjoy it and get all there Is In
music to give, one must under
stand ami be familiar with Il.
Say, for instance, you go to a
concert. which are the pieces
that you enjoy?
The ones you Know, Of course
When the orchestra bursts into
the Anvil Chorus, don't your
eyes light mp and yoAr enthu-
sfasm rise. 1lsst because the

When you hear one selection

parts Of Il ring through your
brain, don't you begin to like it
and consider IL also an old
friend?
Experiment Is Siinple.
1 am sure you can work. this
little experiment on yourself.
Then think how it can be worked
upon your child. II you like and
enjoy the ones you hear often.

If he has been brought up to
the tune of sonatas and arias, ii

music of Beethoven and Ruben

jazz and ragtime and nothing
but that daring his childhood.
The taste for these masters wfll
have to be developed gradually
and just because he does not sit
spell bOurld during the William
Tell overture ana because he
thinks The Stars and Stripes
Forever is the finest ever, don't
be discouraged. Appreciation for
the better music is bound to
come and alOag with it the en-
joynent and love. for it.
Delight In Understanding.
1t is not necessary for you 70

listens and that is q lot.
There Ii comfort, pleasure and
keen delight that comes with

Never has it been so easy to
furnish the child with this back
ground of good music as it il
now with the monograph, the
player piano, and the radio with
the programs printed in the
paper SO that one is able to
select just what he wants to
hear.
In addition to these are the
Chautauqua and Lycehln circuits
and the high class but IOw,priced

Decorations That Clash.
Take the dining room, for
example. In looking over the
different styles of dining sets
You might fall in love with q

But your dining room was
done in the English cottage style

and you can see for yourself
that those two could never be
used together. a difficulty Ike
this causes 30 much needless

The Dining Room
Then there is that question Of
eating. There are two posi-
hilities for the dining room. The
first is to buy a set Of painted
furniture which is attractive and
makes a cozy, bright and i'm
formal room. This set has its
after use just as the wicker and
reed furniture in the living
room. 1t may be moved into q
breakfast nook. Then the other
plan Is to start Immediately on
the furniture that you really
want for Your dining room and
buy a table and four chairs
You would be surprised at the
ease with which one can get
along without a sideboard and =
china cabinet If it is possible to
get a server, or a tea-cart, either
one will be a great help and
your room win be adequately
furnished until you are able to
add the other pieces to the set.
If there are two bedrooms in
the house, of them may well
be furnished with painted furili-
ture. If there is just one bed
room, this type of furniture
makes an attractive room and
later when the family grows
and larger quarters are needed
this may be utilized in the guest
room or in the children's room,
Ii one prefers a darker real
wood bedroom, it may be started
with 4 dresser or chifforobe, ana
Ia chair or two. The shade Of
the wood may be matched in
the painted metal or wood beds,
and these are quite a saving as
well as being attractive looking.

TAKE SALTS IF STOMACH ISN'T
 ACTING RICHl
Says Indigestion Results from
 Excess of HydrochlOric Acid.


 Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather ferments, the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyperacidity meaning there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete diges- ton and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in stom- ach much like garbage sours in can, forming acrid fluids and gases which infate the stomach like toy balloon. Then WE feel a heavy. lumpy misery in the chest; we belch up gas; we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells Us to lay aside all diges- tive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink it while it is effervescing, and fur thermore, to continue this for week. While relief often follows the first dose. it is important to help neutral- ize the acidity, remove the gas-mak- ing mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harm- less salts is used for many stomach disorders with excellent results.
