Energy in Playing Piano

The amount of energy expended
by person while playing the piano
varies greatly with different COM
positions. A study of the subject
shows that the per-minute energy
required to play ''Tarentella" by
List, is $50 per cent more than
that required to play "Songs With
out Words" by Mendelssohn.-Col-
lier's Weekly.

Asst year automobiles killed some $1,000 per-

widest possible publicity was given to those
thousands of tragic deaths. Yet during 1887 We

100000 Americans than eight times
many as automobile accidents-and you will hear
little nothing about it!
This staggering loss of life is largely avoidabIe,
for syphilis and gOnorrhea be cured if treated
i'm time by a competent physician or clinic. Thus
to neglect these infections, to try to treat them
yourself, is to deliberately encourage permanent
disability and early death!
Any doctor will tell you that neglected or self
treated syphilis may easily lead to heart disease,
blindness, deafness, locomotor ataxia apopexy pa
ralysis even Insanity And that it causes women
to have stillbirths, to bear babies that de-
formed or feeble minded.
AS for neglected self treated gOnorrhea, it may
result in sght-destroying eye infection, gripping
rheumatism, steriity, serious prostate, bladder
and other troubles. In women it is frequent
of mutilating pelvic operations that make it mpos-
sible for them to have children thereafter

delay another day, but go Immediately to your
family doctor to the Public Health Institute!
The friendly, sympathetic and women physi-
clans of the Public Health Institute cOnfine their
practice solely to syphilis and gonorrfea. Hence
they render much more highly specialized service
than is generally available. Up to now they have
given more than 100000 treatments to almost
25OO0O individual patients-a record to inspire the
utmost faith in their ability and experience!
Each patient of the Public Health Institute is
promptly attended i'm private room, and to insure
even greater privacy is known by number instead
of by name. In fact it is impossible to obtain
cal disease treatment more confidentially than at
the Institute!

Organized by public-spirited citizens corpora
ton "NOT-FOR-PROFTT" under the laws Of the
State of Illinois, the Public Health Institute offers
low cost yenereal disease attention to those unable
to pay higher fees. A complete examination for
syphilis and gonOrrhea, including Wassermann

while some treatments for syphilis cost as little as
LOO and some of those for gonorrhea still less
Thus it is foolish to risk being numbered among

stble for a British royalty to become;

Arrangements have been made, his

life, perhaps at Fort Belvedere, his
favorite royal residence.
Won't Return for \ Year.
The return Of the duke and his

One link Of the stirring days of last
December will be broken-probably
this week--when Stanley Baldwin re-
tires IS prime minister.
Scrutator. the commentator OF the
London Sunday Times, in a review
Of Baldwin'S career said: History
may we'll say Of him that he saved the
British monarchy. One may admire
the many engaging qualities Of Edward
VIII and still be convinced that what
has happened Is best for his own hap
piness and for his country's welfare.
Had Mr.. Baldwin been less firm OF
less tactful, or-in justice let it be
added-had Edward VIII fought q
political battle for what his indiscreet
friends maintained was his right, not
only would he have ceased to be q
bond OF union between the peoples
OF the empire, but he might have
foundered in general unpopularity.'
Mrs. Warfteld and the duke prac.
ticed getting married today and ther
announced they had abandoned any
plan for honeymoon cruise.
DR.. Charles Mercier, the Mayor O.
Monts, spent two hours in rehearsa
OF the man and woman he will marry
June 3.
He came bustling to the chatea,
and told his attentive listeners wher,
to stand and how to answer the ques.
tions he will ask in French.
Abandonment OF the cruise was an
nounced by Herman L. Rogers. H,
gave no reason, but there have beer
reports the British government ha
refused to allot a warship for protec
ton Of the yacht which Windsor pro
posed to rent for cruise that woule
take him around the coast OF Spain.
