Varied Benefit Program Given
mirably by Noted Mu-
Ad-
The war relief fund was the benefici
ary of a sizable addition as the result of
a special concert given last evening In
the ballroom of the Bellcvue-Stratford
for the purpose of augmenting the
finances of this laudable purpose. The
. attractive and bpaclous room was
thronged by an Interested nudlence,
whose patriotism was rewarded by an
evening of the finest musical enjoyment,
thanks to the varied and excellent pro
gram Interpreted by an admirable group
of volunteer soloists, Including May
Kbrey Hotz. soprano: Mrs. I'arl Pfouts
Planlste; John F. Braun, tenor, and Karl
Pfouts. of tho Philadelphia Orchestra,
violinist.
Perhaps the v'star" number on the
Program was the duo from tho finale of
Puccini's "Madame Butterfly," In which
Mrs. Hotz'a crystalline and lovely tones
blended beautifully with the clear and
sweet tenor of Mr. Brtun. Mrs. Hotz
has sung the role of the pathetic heroine,
Clo-Clo-San. with tho Philadelphia Op
eratic Society ami Mr. Braun has been
for years a capable Interpreter of oper
atic arias, ro the combination attained
dramatic effectiveness.
Mrs. Hotz Ming freshly and finely two
groups of bongs, and Mr. Braun was also
1 1 card to advuntage In two groups, the
French group being done with especial
svmpathy. Mr. Pfouts is a technically
efficient and Interpretatlvely understand
ing artist, and his violin pieces were
highly enjoyable. Mrs. Pfouts played
very discriminating accompaniments.

mULL me a story" Is the great op
JL portunlty. Here Is a child hungry
for vocabulary, for pictures, for emo
tions, for knowledge, for Ideals and
longing to bo fed. Shall we feed him
with sawdust, with pastry, with gum
drops, with hardtack, or with good
whole-wheat bread, pure milk, clover
honey and mellow apples?
"Tell me a story" does not come un
expectedly. When the baby Is born we
know this call is coming In about two
years, and then for more than a dozen
years there will be this dally oppoitunlty,
especially clamorous for six or seven
years. And no teacher can be a substi
tute for parents, in story-telling, but
only u supplement.
There Is such a wonderful range to
choose from, of woithwhllo personal rem
Inlsccnces, nature stories, wonder tales,
myths, fairy tales, Jingles, bits of history
and biography, Bible stories, hero tales,
legends, adventure, humorous tales, ro
mance, that the question arises, When is
the time for abundant measure of each of
these? The Interest and choice of the
children Is our guide. How much of
each Is needed to furnish the most nour

popular dietetics to furnlBh a mixed

stories. We cannot foresee what special
problems, what struggles, what diffi

Announcement
In its plan to conserve the nation's wheat supply
the Food Administration has ruled that substitutes or cereals shall
be used in making bread.
In the Spirit of Patriotism, the Freihofer bakers
are complying absolutely with this ruling, and at the same time
exerting every effort to satisfy the discriminating taste with the
real Freihofer Quality.
Our laboratory experts, after months of experi
mental and research work, have succeeded in perfecting a loaf of
bread that meets the requirements of wheat conservation, and is
highly palatable and nutritious. This perfected loaf is the result of
proper blending of materials, and making and baking under the
latest scientific methods.
The Food Administration has suggested, for the
period of the war, that all bread be named "Victory" bread. There
fore, we are withdrawing from' the market our well-known brands
until such time as conditions return to normal. This includes
all of Freihofer's famous specialties, such as Butter Krust, Liberty,
Shaker and other brands.
This important change takes place today..
