music. Others felt it as a weight
holding back and interfering with
the full Towering of their genius.
They knew all about suffering and
discouragement, hardship and un-
fulfilled dreams. The dregS of
human despair settled in their
hearts and bitterness often mas
tered their spirit. Were they less
conscious of their vocation they
would have succumbed and become
members of the ranks Of the incon-
SpicuouS.
But the hand of genius was laid
on their brows at birth and, being
thus singled out, they had a refuge,
source OF strength, deeper under
standing of what kind of happiness
was to be mans lot after the events
of redemption. They held in their
hearts an endless song. In the glory
OF that music they found new life,
new thoughts, new aspirations. No
earthly suffering could quench the
lnexhaustible freshness and beauty
which they guarded in their souls.
In this haven they sought and found
peace for themselves and a message
to send out to generations to come.
They wrote music of surprising
loneliness, of healing potentcy,
speaking from their hearts TO the
hearts of all people.
Another Cross.
Today the shadow of another cross
hangs over the world. The old
order of things is crumbling, the
true meaning of life is distorted
and sorrow and fear are rampant.
The reasons of Christs death and
resurrection are threatened and
humanity is being forced back to
the old hopelessness that reigned
before the promise of happiness was
consummated in divine sacrifice
With this difference: Those great
men whose sole legacy to poSterity
was music provided a means of re-
newal of faith and a source of spir-
ltual courage that can never be
harmed by mans Willfulness.
Music, born of suffering, yet speak
ing of happiness, is there for our
consolation. Passing from the dark
ness of the day of crucifxion to the
beauty of the Easter morn, it en-
compaSSes the gamut of human
feeling. but in SO doing dwells upon
the light, which is brighter because
begot in sorrow. 1t has unalterable
truth in its strains and infinite
power of spiritual renewal. There
is no need for despair as long as
melody rings through the world,
ready with its gentle touch to open
the door of mans finer nature. To
submit to its influence is to know
the meaning of righteousness, of
nobility and of the happiness
planned for on the first Easter day.
Martin Luther wrote, Music is one
of the fairest and most glorious gifts
of God to which So .. n is a bitter
enemy, for it removes from the
heart the weight of sorrow"

Musical experience of famous
conductor may have served in good
stead for one of the last issues by
the Columbia company, Beethoven's
symphony No. 81 Seldom has
there been a release of such power
and clarity, not to mention other
details of purely mechanical
nature.
1t is not unlikely that this record
ing was the result of more than one
performance by the Philharmonic
Orchestra of New York under Bruno
Walter to insure such a satisfying
presentation of Beethoven's "Eroica"
symphony. 1t is to the credit of the
group that Mr.. Walter was permitted
to mold it's tonal effects in accord
ance with his vision and acoustical
sensibilities
Each leader has an individuality.
Mr.. Walters is best expressed in
his dynamic effects which begin
at mere whisper. Under his baton
the orchestra scores a point in the
forcefulneSs of its climaxes, volume
and resonance. His reading has
grandeur of proportion and style,
even if it lacks poignancy.
Dedicated by the composer ito the
memory of a great man" and writ
ten under the emotional stress OF
his growing deafness, Beethoven Is
believed to have entertained suicidal
thoughts about the time the SYM
phony was born, put forth in his
famous "Heiligenstadt Testament"
in which he explains the motives
of his isolation from the world.
The original dedication to Napoleon,
who was his idol until he made
himself Emperor to die in disgrace
II years later, had nothing to do
with the foreboding majesty of the
symphony's funeral march, the tragic
element of which is undeniable.
While far-reaching in its conception
Mr.. Walters Interpretation fails to
stir deeper sentiments in the listener.
Yet of many conductors he would
be expected to find means of por-
traying Beethoven's emotional up
heaval better than any one else.
The commanding precision of the
strings in the "Scherzo" and in
other passages, requiring rapid
execution, is breathtaking.

Jne rejoicing tnat marks ITe dSSuI- =
ance of immortality, in which nature
itself contributes its promise, there
hangs the shadow Of the cross. In
the hymns and the great music with
which the uniquely endowed souls
of this world have tried to express
the meaning of this sacred season,
the climax of their Joy is reached
only by the remembrance that
through the tragedy of the cross was
divine happiness achieved.
In the pattern of life, the progress
to happines through suffering has
been its most pronounced design.
This burden which the human race
must bear would be insupportable
were there no compensation to
tighten the struggle toward the
hearts peace. To prove that hu-
manity is not alone in its suffering,
the tragic ending of the sacred Life,
commemorated this past week, was
permitted. The hour of the cruci-
fixion found the world darkened and
troubled, the day following filled with
sorrow. Yet on the first Easter
morn the flowers bloomed again,
the sun shone, the birds sang and
white-clad angels rested on guard
at the empty tomb. The redemp-
ton of mankind was accomplished
and mans eternal happiness as
Sured.
Perfect Expression,
Never in the history of the world
has such an unselfish gift been
made to it. While all right think
ing people have recognized it and
been thankful, it has remained to
the artists, and to the musicians
in particular, to give perfect ex-
preston to their gratitude. The
birth of Christ awakened a great
tenderness in these inspired ones
and lovely, appealing music has
been the result, but the sacrifice
on the cross has stirred the depths
of their beings. The realization of
the smallness of human nature,
vis-a-vis the uncomplaining suffer-
ing of the Man who was put TO
death because He represented a
greatness of soul too noble to be
grasped at that time, has appalled,
those sensitive ones whose link with
the Divine is closer than that of
ordinary mortals. They have taken
their great talent and, allowing
free rein to the sympathy, the
compassion and the love that filled
their hearts, have written immortal
music. The men and women who
have given us the hymns of the
church have been no less inspired
and have. through the music they
have left, drawn together people
of different creeds in a union of
rejoicing on this day.

ondary to some manifestation Of
the aging process, such as srthri-
It's or arterial change.
The secretions Of the digestive
tract in those from sixty to eighty.
like all other parts of the body,
atrophy. There is less saliva, and
less pancreatic secretion. so that
the digestion Of starches is incom-
plete at this age period, valuable
thing 10 remember because old
people eat a good deal Of starchy
food because it is easier to chew.
Dietary restrictions which are
sometimes self-imposed, some
times imposed by an over-zealous
physician or over-protective fam
lily, are, however, not warranted
in elderly people. The children Of
oldsters too often think their par
ents are not eating enough or are
eating too much. Perhaps this is
a subconscious revenge for diet
airy restriction imposed on them
when they were childrenl
Good Teeth Important
Good teeth are, as at all age
periods. essential in good diges-
tion.. But the matter should re-
ceive special attention after sixty.
Good fitting, comfortable, efficient
dentures are essential and not
easy to get. A physician friend Of
ours lost thirty pounds in nearly
as many days and found it was
all due TO a poor denture that de-
creased his appetite.
The tongue is another important
factor in digestion and nutrition
after sixty. At this age a sore
tongue is very common, and APP
petite and desire for food natu-
rally suffer, to say nothing of the
fact that mastication is inefficient.
A sore tongue may be the sign Of
anomia or v,tamin deficiency.
Most of the stomach diseases
are rare after sixty but gall-blad-
der disturbance may be common,
and, as always, causes as one
symptom, indigestion. Gallstones
may occur without pain. Pain, in
deed, is much reduced in the aged.
We recently saw a case where an
old gentleman had appendicitis
with large abscess without any
pain or even fever.
Constipation is the bane Of an
elderly persons life. 1t is as nat
ural for an old person to take
cathartics as for a young person
TO fall in love. The natural loss of
muscular tonus Of the intestines
is one factor, the soft, non-rough-
age food they choose on account
of no teeth or bad dentures, 10
another. Impaction is a common
condition at this age period. Sig
mold diverticulitis has been called
the left-sided appendicitis Of the
aged.
Sudden changes Of diet are not
well borne by the elderly. And
drugs act in an unexpected and
sometimes alarming fashion. On
the other hand, contrary to all
expectation, old people stand sur
gical operations well.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
S. NJ. DIS taking a lemon
in warm water every morning be-
fore breakfast an aid to reducing?
Please tell me also if EPSON salts
taken regularly is harmful"
Acknowledging that anybody
takes to eat is reducing. A lemon
has caloric value just the same as
an orange, although, it is true, not
quite so much. The only possible
way in which a lemon taken in this
way could help to reduce would be
that it diminished the appetite for
more concentrated foods at break
fast. Taking EPSON salts is de-
cldedly harmful. 1t is an irritant
and creates a habit.
