The First Symphony Concert The public will indicate its attitude toward the project of reviving the Richmond Symphony Orchestra Monday evening, when the musical organization presents its first concert in the Coliseum. If a capacity house greets the players, which should be the case, as the admission is free, the leaders in the movement will feel encouraged to continue their effort to make the organization one of the contributing elements in the musical life of the community. If an

apathetic attitude is shown, it will prove only too

plain that the public takes little interest in the

orchestra.

One may safely indulge in the prophecy that the Coliseum will be crowded with a capacity audience. In years past the symphony orchestra received the support of the whole community.

Why should this support be withdrawn now

when the organization is launching out on a new

era of service to the community? If anything, the fact that the orchestra has been dormant in its activity for a number of years will increase the desire of many to hear it under its new leaders. Some citizens of our community perhaps do not appreciate the extent of the service which an organization of this kind gives. Concerts are not the result of a few evenings devoted to practice, but come only after weeks of hard preparation. Members of the orchestra give hours and hours of their time to practice, postpone social affairs, forego amusement and recreation, in order that they may present a finished product to the audience. Besides this, they give many hours of practice and spend much money to qualify on the instruments they play. If you keep in mind a few of these facts you will attend the concert in appreciative mood and will understand that the leaders of the move

ment, to make the orchestra an abiding institu-J

tion, deserve the warmest support and the heartiest gratitude of the community. They are doing an unselfish service, without hope of deward, merely to supply the city with excellent music. In their work they should have the co-operation of the citizens, which can be expressed by

attending the first concert, and later by entering into the plans which will be developed for the maintenance of the institution. Both the players and the leaders deserve this consideration, and we feel sure that it will be accorded to them.

Today's Talk

By George Matthew Adams

NOISES. Much of the story of the world is one of noises. Many times noises "get on our nerves," and we wish that all might be silence. But who could long live in complete silence? I love the hum of the city. I like the wind-rush thru the trees of the forest and the gentle rattle of the waters of the stream as they tumble over each other in their desire to reach their destination. I like even the jumbled noise of the human voice as it scrambles Into one unintelligible almost-roar in the crowded dining room of some public place. Often do I just listen to it but it doesn't disturb me and I digest my food wonderfully under its stimulus. There are the noises of battle and of peace. The song of the bird and of the human voice. The sweet tones or some violin, or great organ, or flute. The thrill of some orator's words as they dash into human hearts and touch the life blood itself. Noises keep us company, cheer us ir loneliness, and inspire us when we feel faint. Noises which mean something are always welcome. We get acquainted with tlrem as tho we had met them before. And we are glad to have them travel with us. But it is well not to introduce noises into the world that it doesn't need. The noisy talker who never says anything the trouble maker who goes around trying to knock down, but never offering to build up these kind of noise-makers are better off in some other world. But oh, the noise from the sound of liammers that build! The whistle of the coming train, the chug of the automobile, the rattle of the wheels of the cart doing service, the clang of the street car carrying folks home to those they love and bringing them as well to their places of work and service these daily, friendly noises, how could we jog along without them? But let's not make too much noise ourselves just enough!

noggins of denatured rye, but they can't understand the tongue in which the invitation's sprung. And, maybe, as they see me stand in solemn grandeur on the land, they wonder why I don't wade in, and like them wield the trenchant fin.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

Mr. Bryan says, in an interview, that the president should resign and give the office to Mr. Marshall, so that the latter can settle the peace treaty at once. What Mr. Marshall has done to deserve this bit of hard work, Mr. Bryan does not state. Charlie Murphy denies the allegation that he will step out of the throne chair in the Wigwam and give the place to Al Smith. It is only fair to Bay that that allegation was denied, not only by inference but by precedent, long before it was made by inybody. It was one of those allegations that die a-borning. Lenlne's chief quality, says a returned laborite, is deep human sympathy. As a leader who has nothing to give but sympathy, he sure put his followers where they needed it. Reviewing a rhymed geography in the "Literary Review," Samuel McCoy says: "In the next three couplets Mr. Van Waters achieves a batting average in poetry that exceeds .450. He fans out a rhyme no less than three times." Mr. McCoy knows more about poetry than he does about baseball. Three fans out of three times to bat

doesn't make a batting average of 433. To the victors belong the spoils that is, to all the victors except Victor Berger. From a sport story: "There were five knockouts, each in the first round, In the preliminary bouts at Columbus hall last night .... the proceeds of which will go toward building a new floor."

command of the medical side of Canadian hospital No. 3, the McGill university unit at Boulogne. France. No poem produced by the war has been so universally popular as "In Flanders Fields." When war broke out in 1914 Dr. McCrae was on, the ocean, on his way to England. Immediately on his arrival there he cabled back to Canada an offer of his services in any capacity. His offer was accepted and September, 1914, saw him at Valcartier as medical officer to a brigade. Dr. McCrae held the commision of major, having won this rank in the South African war. He saw service in all the actions in which the Canadians were engaged in the spring of 1915. Later he was promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy and was transferred to the hospital at Boulogne, in charge of medical service.

For thirty-one months he served continuously there, until pneumonia attacked him. He died, as he would have wished it, in the service of his country. With the gallant dead he hears the lark bravely singing in the azure sky, and waits for the dawn, where "In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row by row."

YOUR RHEUMATISM Remove Its Cause by Purifying Your Blood. One of the most important duties of your system is to burn up certain substances no longer of use in your body. One is uric acid, now generally held to be the cause of rheumatism. It inflames the joints, stiffens the muscles, causes pains, aches and lameness. The system is helped to dispose of this troublesome substance, and rheumatism is permanently relieved by Hood's SarsapariUa, the one true blood purifier. It is aided in many cases by Hood's Pills, which in small doses are a gentle laxative, in larger doses an active cathartic. A grand course of treatment, economical and effective. Advertisement.

Dinner Stories

On going his rounds about midnight a policeman noticed an individual moving from house to house and trying to open the doors. He seized him by the collar and said: "What are you doing here?" "Oh, nothing particular. You see. I've found a latchkey and I'm merely trying it on the doors in order to restore it to the owner."

"I beg your pardon, but what Is your name?" "Name," echoed the indignant guest, who had just signed the register. "Don't you see my signature on the register?" "I do," answered the clerk. "That is what aroused my curiosity." A northern tourist got off the train in Arkansas to get a better view of a lean animal that was rubbing itself against a scrub oak. "What do you call that animal?" he asked a native. "Razor-back hawg, suh." "What's he rubbing himself against the tree for?" "He's stroppin' hisself, suh, jes stroppin' hisself."

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

THE WET HOME. I stand upon the shore and peep at creatures that infest the deep, all sorts of things with fins and scales, from shrimps aiyi lobsters up to whales. (Of course you'll say, with scornful grins, these haven't either scales or fins; smart alecks always gather near to show where little breaks appear. As I was saying, r.n the shore I stand

and hear the brerkers roar and wonder

how the things that roam forever in that briny home can stand such moisture all their lives, and not get mad

and beat their wives. No magazines or books ore there, no glowing hearth, no easy chair; there's nothing for a fish to do but soak itself the long years

through, and dodge the bigger fish

that strive to catch and swallow it alive. There's no place fora fish to go, no lecture hall or movie show. I have a sympathy profound for all the

fish that scoot around, and ply their

fins and wag their tails, the sharks,

the devilfish, the whales. I would in

vite them from the deep, and give

them beds in which to sleep, and places where they might get dry, and

Health

You see it all about and wonder. That look of health. That picture of happiness. How you crave it for yourself! You need not. Millions now know the secret of health. Millions follow a simple, basic rule. Medical science recognizes this rule as the foundation of health. Physicians everywhere now prescribe this way to keep well. Ask your doctor the underlying cause of most human ills. He will tell you constipation. Most men and women, it is true, have known this for years. But what they have not known is the need for quick and complete results from a physic. Ask Your Doctor Ask your doctor, when your system becomes clogged, how quickly the waste matter should be removed. His answer will be "at once." The reason is plain to those who know. Germs multiply by millions in a clogged intestinal tract. Poisons are rapidly absorbed by the blood. Foul breath, coated tongue, lassitude, muddy skin often manifest themselves in surprisingly short time. Worse than that, this condition is the common forerunner of colds, headaches, high blood pressure, rheumatism, influenza, pneumonia, and other dread diseases. When you need a physic, time is the first consideration. You cannot afford to wait a day or even half a day for a physic to act.

That is where old-fashioned cathartics failed. They were slow in action, and uncertain of results. Eminent physicians today recommend a harmless mineral water, because it is quick and certain in action. This water is known as Pluto. It acts unfailingly and it worAs fast. Its efficacy is due to the minerals it contains. Due to Minerals These minerals soften the waste accumulation. The water helps to flush it gently away. The action is pleasant and gentle entirely free from the griping effects of old-fashioned cathartics. Results are sure, prompt and complete. Get from your druggist today a bottle of Pluto Water. Try it in your home. Use it first thing in the morning, or before meals. Learn for yourself its prompt, complete results. Note its pleasant, harmless action . See how quickly it restores normal, healthy activity. You will feel like a new person! Thousands of men and women take Pluto Water at regular intervals, regardless of whether they are constipated. In this way they avoid dangerous constipation. Pluto water is equally effective for children and grown-ups. As a laxative take tumbler of Pluto; as a cathartic, H tumbler; as a purgative, tumbler add hot or cold water to fill glass. Pluto Water in your home at all times is the best of health insurance.
