TO see all through the dear Old Briar-

KAsrAn srRING RECITAL.

Never has Joseph Kaspar presented
a program of more variety and excel
lence than last night at his usual Spring
recital at the Masonic Auditorium,
which was we'll filled with prominent lo-
cal musicians. and especially lovers OF
the violin. Among those present was
Sylvia Lentz, talented professional vio-
linist. There were six soloists, and IL
was noticeable and interesting that OF
the young players no two played alike.
Mr.. Kaspar seems to be insistcnt on
thorough technical equipment, leaving
them to express themselves IN their
own way
The program opened with sprightly

rendered by II violins Paul Brighten

the "Rondo Capriccioso." by Saint Saens
He has made considerable strides since
his last appearance. He played with
great delicacy and his trills were en-
quiSitely done. S. c. JaSpan followed
with "Roman2a. by RieS, and La Ca

In the "Romanza" he showed much
feeling and breadth and beauty of tone.

Jean Westbrook, and she did not disap-
point her many friends with the reder-
ing of that deep melancholy Canzonet-
Ia Her tone and style have broadened
very much since her last appearance at
these recitals.
The seldom-heard Concerto" of
Vieuxtemps. in sharp minor, was
played very effectively by David Legum.
This boy surprised his many friends
with the beauty of his tone and the ex-
ouisite delicacy of shading in the an
dante movement The rondo makes
great technical demands, and he played
it with an assurance that was convinc-
ing.
A "Nocturne" for four violins. by Slu-

unusual interest. It is beautiful piece

reading of the work In this they were
ably supported by Dora Minovich, who
played the difficult piano part with bril-
liant technique and In good taste.
The recital was closed with the Med

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. @. "a. y. Reed

VOUR personality Ii the aggre-
= gate Of al attributes that are
peculiar to yourself. You have no
organ or function that Is identical
with the corresponding organ or
function of another. 1t Is true
that, in a general sense and for
illustration, lungs and liyers and
kidneys and other structures have
the same general form and do
the same general things in all
persons, but in each instance there
Il = distinct variation from the
average standard.
We find this principle strikingly
exemplified in the instance of the
digestive organs and their power
to do the things for which they
exist. This recently has been
emphasized by the distinguished
Psychologist, Robert Hutchinson
Iondon Lancet). He says that
some may have stomachs and in
testines too small or iIl-developed
fully to supply the needs OF the
tissues in the way of nutrition.
People In whom the lower part
of the chest is contracted-as used
to be the result of tight lacing--
are peculiarly prone to suffer from
digestive disorder. When there Is
little room for the stomach and
liver the other abdominal organs
are often unduly mobile. Their

are not developed properly. This
Is an essential part OF a constitu-
tional regularity which predisposes
to dyspepsia and neurasthenia,
These people instinctively choose
a more or less sheltered life, and
on the temperamental side. they
are apt to suffer from feeling
of insufficiency." They belong to
a "low-pressure" type, and have a
safety valve which comes into
action at low pressure in the
form of fatigue and indigestion.
The robust. full-blooded indi-
vidual, on the other hand, be-
longs to a high pressure" type.
His safety valve only comes into
action at high pressure; for ex-
ample, an attack Of nose bleeding
or stroke, a bleeding in the
brain.
There are great differences in
the production of gastric juice
secretion. More acid Is produced
in the young than in the old.
When the variation Is in the di-
rection of excessive production
of acid. in the stomach we get
a. type Of individual who Is pre-
disposed. to duodenaI ulcer. There
also are great variations in the
tone and consequent efficiency
of the muscle that largely com
presses the wall and entirely de-
ternines the mobility of the stom.
ach. Such variations are Unborn
and persist throughout life. Some
people always have splashy stom-
achs. They suffer from slow d.
gestion, with flatulence and other
signs of bad working. Whether
their defect is due to Unborn
feebleness OF the muscle, to i'm
paired elasticity, to defective sup
ply of nervous energy or to some
deficiency in a gland product is
not known. AS they are made
much worse by mental or physi-
cal fatigue, 1t is probably ner-
Vous disorder. The main point
that am driving at is that here
