Lowered Resistance
In some diseases, such as diabetes,
the skin OF the person seems to re-
act unduly readily TO infection and
boils occur with great frequency in
diabetes.
1t Is generally believed that re-
peated infections of the skin, such
as pimples and boils, are the result
of generally lowered resistance of
the body to disease.
Such lowering may come with
increased fatigue. with bad diet,
with constipation. with insufficient
sleep and fresh air. and with gen
eral deficiency in all of the health
habits that are ASSOCIATED with good
hygiene.
Persons who have boils frequent

II reciting the words Of . song
slowly. distinctly. with emphasis on
important words. and being very
careful to pronounce final syliables
will help greatly when 1t comes to
singing song. there Is something
else that will help too. That Is re-
citing the poem with expression.
BY this l do not mean to recite 1t
in the exaggerated way that used to
be called "elocution." but with
natulalness, just as you would ex-
press those same words in saying
them to a close friend who UNDER
stood you fully. and to whom you
could unreservedly express your
heart.
Now. no matter how we'll you try
to express yourself in singing song,
II word drops out here and there
people who do not know the poem.
II asked for an honest opinion would
most likely say. 1.-THE voice was love-
~, she seemed to sing with express
sion, but what was 1t all ahout?"
Yet that is one OF the important
reasons why the singer stands there.
to tell what it is all about. So ex-
preston also depends upon a clear
enunciation.
In the first place, the composer
was SO struck by the beauty of the
poem OF your song that he was NOV
ed to express 1t in terms OF music.
Therefore. even ii you put express
sion into the words, yet do not give
those words distinctly you give but
half the song. To give the whole song
demands absolute concentration OF
mind in practicing it.
There Is another kind OF express
sion that helps song along. and
that Ia the expression on the face of
the singer. Here. again. to exagger-
ate expression is serious mistake.
The kind Of facial expression needed
il exactly that which you would
show In telling the same thing If it
were not said to music.
In other words. if We feel thing
sincerely when we speak 1t. the
right expression is there without eff.
fort. 1t is just the same in singing
songs.
Naturalness in singing a song
makes the very essence OF its heart
appeal. In opera. with acting. cos
tunes, scenery. all the parapher-
MALTA of the theater, high tragedy
and gentle comedy are required, the
dramatic callber of the performance
demands it. But in songs. We deal
with another kind of singing. where
every atom of expression must lie in
the singers heart and voice, and
show in her face
Sincerity. simplicity and natur-
alness, In the way she sings her
songs. are vital to success.
