KIDNEY TROUBLE Suffered Two Years—Relieved In Three Months MB. C. B. FIZER, Mt Sterling, Ky., writes: "/ have suffered with kidney and bladder trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using" Peruna and continued for three mouths. I have not used it since, nor Lave 1 felt a pain. " I believe that I am well and I there fore give iny highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Pe-ru-na F»r Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: " I had not been well for about four years. / had kidney trouble, and, In tact, felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer 1 pot so very bad I thought 1 would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna a«d Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of mo altogether. I bless the day 1 picked up the little bookand read of your Peruna." It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem edy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys ser vice at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens.

On the M of a Prima Donna By Lillian Nordica Her Own Early Experience— Why Italy Is Best Field for Train ing After Foundation Is Laid— " Genius Is Willing to Lay the Foundation of Her Structure Un observed " Several Languages Required—Self-Command Vital —Singers Must Be Abstemious —"Self-Denial Required to Keep Fresh for One's Art"—Training That Is Needed Before Summit Is Reached. (Copyright by J. D. Bowie*.) (Mme. Nordica's first appearance In public was when at 15 years of age she sans as Lillian Norton in the choir of a church in Boston. Later she sang with Gilmore's hand, and thus secured money to study abroad. After a few years in Italy she made her first great success in grand op<-ra in St. Petersburg. Her later distinguished career in ttie cap itals of Europe and in this country is well known. In private life she is Mme. Zoltan Dome.) The singer who would have a career must begin almost in infancy, uncon sciously, perhaps, at first, and directed oftentimes by the tender training of a far-seeing mother, as was my own good fortune. Later, as the years ad vance and the aim and end of things became more surely recognized, art as cumes the place of first importance in one's life; if it does not, there is no call to a career. But all this period of preliminary training and hard work is but the preface to the book which holds so many chapters. When a young' woman steps out on the stage she emerges from the pri vate schoolroom of the studio into the public one of the theater. There her hardest lessons have to be learned, her hardest battles fought. Much may present itself to her in a light that will • disillusionize, but the beauty and no bility of her art will grow more strong ly with her appreciation and prove at once her supreme comfort and compen sation for the unpleasant side of things. • » * » • In the making of a prima donna there is nothing more important than recognizing an opportunity when it arrives. The great chances are not presented at the very outset. One recollection coines to me very vividly of an experience of my own. When Mr. Gilmore, then in the zenith of his success, offered me an engage ment to tour in concert with his or ganization, many friends considered it beneath the dignity of my position to "sing about the country with a brass hand," as they put it. But I went quietly ahead and accepted the oppor tunity. The tour extended not only throughout America but Great Britain, and finally to Paris. At the end of it I had saved sufficient to fulfill my plans and togo to Italy to make final preparations for a grand opera career. Tho darkest moments and the most serious misgivings are apt to precede the best success. After singing Elsa in "Lohengrin" in America and Eng land, I accepted the invitation of Mme. Wagner to create the rolfe at the fest spiel performance in Baireuth. The ordeal was a severe one, and days of arduous study and rehearsal followed my arrival there. Diversions were planned for me by the great com poser's widow, and the members of her family to lighten the strain upon my mind and every faculty, but go where I might the great festspiel haus seemed to pursue me with its shadow. Oftener than once I was tempted to have my things packed and flee from the ordeal. But after wakeful night? of anxiety the morning hours would find me again preparing for the test that had been decided upon. When that test was over, the way had been ! paved for the study of the Brunnhilde I and Isolde, the final end and aim of those who would rightly claim the title | of dramatic singers. High ideals and high aims mark out for one a thorny path which can be trodden but a step at a time with the end always in view, and the un varying rule to do to the best of one's powers and abilities the task that the moment presents. • • • • . In the making of a prima donna Italy is the best field for training, be cause of the great number of theaters in email towns where opera is con stantly presented. First, however, be fore a thought of this debut in opera, tho American girl who wishes to be a prima donna must have undergone a thorough vocal training in her own country. When the foundatioa is once laid comes the time to consider foreign 6tudy and not before. During the earlier and vitally important period of study of the many who come to sing to me, I am sorry to acknowledge that there frequently appears an im patience on the part of the American girl, gifted as she so often is/ and a desire to get there by short cut, ! some royal road, easier and smoother | than the beaten one. j The little king of Spain, when he I first heard the expression "royal road | to learning," said mournfully: "Please j let us take some other way, for the I royal way seems always the hardest." I Unconsciously he spoke the truth— I the royal way is the hardest, but it is j the only right way. And it saves us j the weary retracing of many steps | made along another path that for the | Mme had seemed a pleasanter one. The earlier that most important les «on of "think for yourself" is learned CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1007 the earlier will you arrive at the des tination where you would be. Use your own mind, do not iely on some one else to supply you v/ith thoughts. In quire into what you are doing, know the why and wherefore. That in it self does not impiy that you are to j question tho correctness of views ad vanced by those of experience, but that you should find out how they reach such conclusions and their reasons for doing so. To think for ourselves in every direction and in every detail of j our daily lives heips naturally, and | as well in the advancement of our art—for after all our art is the result | of everything that we have learned, j "Genius is willing to lay the founda- | tion of her structure unobserved." , • . • * The bein# in a foreign country, : such as Italy, so picturesque and fuii of color, awakens the imagination | strongly. Music is there an old sweet , story learned unconsciously through | hundreds of years, until it is in- j stinctive rather than acquired. How ! quickly the audiences In those little j opera houses will tell you whether you j have anything in you or not! They J are not infallible, out if they do not j receive a young singer with some de- ; gree of recognition it is time for that , singer to undergo a rigorous self-ques- j tloning as to what the matter was, j and then set about rectifying it to the best of her ability. In early life, when we would have i every season June, the months that j come before the wished-for time seem 1 long ones, but without their passage j June would never be. Every young prima donna longs i some day to sing Bi uiuiliilde, but be- j fore she cao do that she must have j sung hor Violetta, her Leonore and the j lighter of the old Italian roles. When j that is done the Aida, the Elsa and j the rest come in their order. Gradu-1 ally, with the growth of strength, j physique, routine and experience, she , reaches a height whore Brunnhilde and Isolde stand among the immortals, j Here again it is the same maxim: j "Make haste slowly"—to do each thing j that we undertake so well that it be- j comes a part of us before we goon to the next. Nowadays, when an opera singer Is called upon to sing in three or four languages, the study of those lan-j guages becomes of great importance ; and cannot be begun too early. It ; proves a source of surprise to those whose opinion is asked by young sing ers, that so many of them, even in the delivery of a familiar, tiinc-worn aria, I do not know what.it. is about. With- 1 out a full knowledge of the meaning of each word and of the situation in j which an aria is placed the singer destroys its prime element. It is impossible to make others feel that which you do not feel yourself. How can we feel that which is sealed to us | in meaning? It Is out of the ques- j tion.. • • • • • This leads again to an important j matter and a critical one—excess of feeling. The moment that one loses ! command of one's self, in that mo- j ment is lost also the command of one's i audience. Between genuine feeling j and the loss of self-control there is j as distinct a difference as between sen timent and sentimentality. A painter 1 in depicting a scene on canvas must work with enthusiasm, imagination, ' fervor and ample technique. The mo ment, however, that he loses the qual ity of self-command, he loses as well the control of his eubject and a blur and jumble is the result. With the singer conditions are identical. By a paradox, which is as well an unalterable law, the singer must be pe culiarly responsive on the emotional side, which means a highly developed nervous organization, and yet she must have her nerves under absolute control. It is scarcely necessary to repeat here anything so well recognized aa the fact that a singer must lead th«> most abstemious ot lives, enjoying ! pleasures always in moderation, but i never in excess. Another truism, and yet one that is not always recognized by the layman, is the fact that no singer can safely give way to a dis play of temper, for nothing is more injurious to the voice. Much has been said and written of the giving way by singers to fits of ill temper. A long series of nagging worries and nervous strain to which the singer is so frequently subjected may result In an occasional outburst, but the singer who gives way to such outbreaks hab itually is not likely to sing very long. In the days when the good old Ital ian operas made up the complete rep ertory of the most ambitious prima donna the lines were easy ones com pared to the present. A knowledge ox literature, of life, through close observ ation —and always so fruitful a study —development through travel, and knowledge of the icethods of older and more experienced artists, whose per formances cannot be too frequently witnessed, are helps in the cultivation of this higher mental equipment. Through studies in this direction and through one's own natural thought, there grows an ability to portray the complex emotions attributed to the great personages of *.he music drama. For this, and for much more, we have Wagner to thank, a composer whose music all are ambitious to sing, , but whose music must only be ap proached after long and faithful serv i ice to that field wnicta leads the equip i ment safely up to it —the old Italian | opera.

PAUL HAD HIS OWN IDEA. Father's Explanation of Lightning Not Satisfactory to Him. Little Paul was four years old when the western city in which he lived was swept one night by a terrible storm. Wind, thunder and lightning played havoc, and, while other members of the family were huddled In dark cor ners, Paul watched the illumination of the sky with great delight. The next morning at breakfast ho asked his father what caused the streaks of fire across the sky, and his father, with great pains, essayed to explain. Paul listened attentively and apparently accepted what was told him, but, when ho found attention diverted from him self, he leaned over to his aunt, who ■at besido him, and whispered: "It wasn't that, auntie. It was Qod ■cratchlng matches on the sky." BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Re lieve Him —But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. "Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to se% r eral doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommend ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards im provement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured.
