ARTISTIC SYMPATHIES SHOULD BE CATHOLIC

Appreciation of Art in Any of Its Phases Impossible Unless Viewed as a Whole. Some Men Go to Sleep at Concerts.

AWAY GOES CATARRH

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The cultivation of a musical spirit in a community means little unless there are romiltant measures of cornpa rinon. The orxanization of the local Symphony orchfHtra is one of the most potent, instruments toward musical culture this town has ever had. Hut what boots it if the individuals making it up hear nothing hut their own interpretations? If the town in which the organization exists has no standard of comparison? In an article in an Kastern musical Journal a well known musical critic, in writlriK up the Symphony orchestra -uIoKinrloaHy, stated that the performers would have the opportunity, in the visits of their professional confreres, to judKe of the status of their own achievements through a careful observation of the former's methods and accomplishment. The critic assuming that a town where such an organization existed hail a feelinx for musical perfection that was illustrated by a series of musical events each season. This city, however, does not evince any such spirit since it is almost impossible to get out a corporal's guard to hear any noted individual or orIonization unless through long continued and concerted work on the part of disinterested persons as in the case of the firBt visit of the celebrated German baritone, Alexander ileinemann last season when a dozen of the town's leading business men devoted much time to arranging the concert in the preliminary weeks. Heincmann's second coming, a few weeks ago, when he was here under the auspices of the local theatrical management, in their usual presentation of the season's entertainments, went to show how deep-seated is the feeling for musical art here. Not more than fifty people were out to hear this, one of the most wonderful singers of his class in the world, Heinemann's appearance in the Gennett, exceeding, in artistic finish, if that were possible, that in the Coliseum of the previous year. The Russian Balalika orchestra, unique of its sort in the musical world and having with it operatic singers, appeared before a email house. Many persons 'contused it with the Russian Symphony orchestra which played here last season and which 19 made up of an aggregation of Russian musicians living in New York, but even at that, a second visit of the latter organization to this city should meet with enthusiasm and a crowded house. The truth is that a musical spirit is fostered not only through local interpretation but through the attendance on the performances of professional bodies and persons, whose artistic achievements are fixed that is, established by the general status of musical art and standards the world over. "Oh. don't go to hear that," said a woman meaning the Balalaika orchestra, upon being asked to accompany some one thither. "Wait and attend the local orchestra concert." Since the lady In question was perfectly able to go to both the expostulation was somewhat superfluous. Hut it is Just this attitude that makes ior the poverty of genuine muidcal culture here or anywhere else. The performances of the local organization should stimulate interest on the part of the auditors, in those of its professional confreres. It should Instill a love for the art, of Htid for itself, which would not be satisfied with anything less than all It could get. As stated here before a short time ago. nothing is gained by antagonism to receptiveness. "Oh. I don't understand it," or "I only went because Richard plays in the orchestra." or, "1 don't care for classical music." or any other of the thousand and one banal reasons put forth for the attendance or non-attendance on either amateur or professional musical nffairs, are an indication of provincialism and lack of any desire to progress beyond the narrow artistic limits within which the average individual is imprisoned. Nothing can ever be accomplished without the open mind. A willingness to see and hear every nide of a subject. To view it at every conceivable angle.

To listen, with indulgence, to every argument. To give every phase of life a hearing through its exponents. To try to put yourself in the place of the other fellow and imagine his attitude from his viewpoint. To recognize the good in everything. To be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. To give everyone his right of way. To yield the floor to your opponent. To give an opening to the minority. Because, as is more than often the case, the majority is wrong and the minority right. Study history if you don't think this is true. Although what is called "history" is frequently the truth distorted, facts garbled, figures out of focus. If you are unable to give leeway to everything and everybody, you aren't civilized. You may think you're a Christian, but you're not. Christians, or what is termed such, are oftener than not the narrowest, most bigoted, most prejudie !. most intolerant elements in a community. Their own little sect is the one oases in the desert. Their own virtues the most exalted. Their own prayers the most efficacious. Their own sermons the most leading. Smug, selfsatisfied, Pharisaical, they pose in the synagogue as the elect of heaven. When all the time they aren't half the leaven to life that those outside the synagogue's walls may be. It's the open mind that Is going to bring about the millenium if it's ever brought about. And it's the open artistic mind that is going to bring about the diffusion of culture. Just buying a ticket to the May Festival because some of your family sing in the chorus and then sneering -at every celebrity or professional organization that is brought or comes to the town, isn't going to advance musical culture. Admit there are things you don't know musically. Be willing to learn through intelligent listening until you are able to discriminate between at least the good and the bad. If, later, you come into a realization of all the fine gradations between the good and the bad artistically, through the half and half, the mediocre, the indifferent, the uninspired, the merely amateur and the distinctly professional, the talented amateur and the ordinary, the intelligent interpretation and the confused, the orderly and the chaotic, the sensational and the sane then you will find a pleasure in attendance on a performance of a musical organization or individual, in visiting an art exhibition, or in seeing and hearing a dramatic or theatrical presentation which you never dreamed could exist. Most people vacuously dream through a concert. They are in a state of apathy born of boredom, a late dinner and a superheated structure. The sensuous side of music only appeals to them. A resounding finale, which wakens then and gladdens their hearts because that much nearer the loused for end will result in an ovation of applause which is a sort of boomerang in that it causes the lengthening of the program by an encore. Many a man, urged on by a nudce from his wife has prolonged his misery unwittingly. Many a "tired bzusiness man" that mythical personage played to by theatrical managers-has sulked through an evening of torture because he is uuable to get beyond the tom-

Breathe Soothing, Healing Hyomei Relief in Five Minutes. Where there's catarrh there's thousands of catarrh germs. You can't get rid of catarrh unless you kill these germs. You can't kill these germs with stomach medicine or sprays or douches because you can't get where they are. You can -kill these germs with HYOMEI a penerating antiseptic air tuat you breathe a few times a day directly over the raw, sore, germ infested membrane. For catarrh, asthma, croup, coughs, colds and catarrhal deafness Hyomei is sold on money back plan by Leo H. Fihe. Complete outfit $1.00. Extra bottles of HYOMEI if afterwards needed, only 50 cents. Remember HYOMEI does not contain morphine cocaine or any d.rug that could possibly do harm.

torn attitude of the savage toward music. What he really prefers and possibly the majority of him will always prefer is the twinkle of French-heeled toes to perpetrate a bull exalted on high midst swirling skirts. What he honestly enjoys is a burlesque show. Not a symphony concert. Because the former requires no mental effort. It is a simple problem easily understood. The latter requires-some concentration. Some drain on his spiritual springs. It is easier and more enjoyable to let instinct have its way and to revel, in comfortable and unfeigned enjoyment, in the first. That is one reason why it takes so much effort to get up a corporal's guard for a symphony concert and so little to fill the theater of the varieties.

The Yellowstone Wonder. Dr. Arnold Hngue shows that there Is a strong contrast between the geological conditions connected with the geysers of Iceland and those f the Yellowstone park. Volcanic eruptions may be said geologically to be still going on in Iceland, while in the Yellowstone such action ceased many thousands of years ago. The Yellowstone phenomena ns seen today repre-; sent a phase lu the evolution of thermal springs. The tendency of a geyser is to develop a hot surface pool, after which explosive action may cease : and the geyser, as such, become extinct, but this is a very slow process. Dr. Hague rejects the idea that the, cessntion of activity in a geyser indl-1 cates the dissipation of the original! source of heat and ascribes it simply to a shifting of the channel of the ascending waters. ;

QUAKER CITY GRAFTER MAY BE PAROLED

'National News Association') PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20. The application for the parole of Joseph H. Huston, the convicted Capitol architect, probably will be acted upon by the state beard of pardons at the meeting begun today. Huston was imprisoned in the Eastern penitentiary a year ago after a legal battle extending over several years. Several others of the alleged grafters who were convicted died before the long legal fight ended and Huston was the only one to suffer actual imprisonment. His release on parole has been recommended by the board of prison inspectors.

An attachment for converting eyeglasses or spectacles into automobile goggles has been invented by a Philadelphia man.

There is no economy in employing an amateur to do an expert s task. Nine times out of ten failure follows. In a large percentage of instances the result is harm. The average physician does not treat enough cases to learn a great deal about them. His time is so fully occupied in treating a full assortment of human ills ihat he cannot devote special study to any particular branch of practice. Most diseases are sufficiently simple as to require no special training ether than that received In the medical colleges and that afforded by experience in general practice. The more complex and perplexing ailments the family practitioner seldom cares to treat. He prefers to be relieved of tasks beyond his training, though he cannot, without fear of injuring a patient's confidence in his ability, recommend the services of a specialist Instead of his own. Many patients have told us that they hesitated to come to us, fearing that on account of our great reputation our fee would be more than they could afford to pay. We wish to assure all afflicted men that our fees in all cases are reasonable, for our great volume of business allows us to make fees much cheaper than the specialist with a small practice. Call and see us and let us talk your case over. It will cost you nothing for ecamination and may save you much misery and expense. We have devised a system by which you can be treated and pay to suit your convenience.
