never would admit him to be a French

Ithe French have more than held their

that Is that the United States will re

organizations.
A NOTHER interestinj result of the
J. French musical piopoganda will be
the report carried back to France by
the musicians who Hpcnt the season
here, to the effect that Amenta is nr
tistically not quite the wild and woolly
legion that it was popularly supposed
to be in the continental minlsties of
the fine arts, and that even before the
French artists arrived there was a verv
respectable knowledge of French music.
not only among the cognoscenti, but I
among the people nt large who attend
only a portion of the season s concerts.
, The reason for this is largely our cos
mopolitanism. Having not as jet do
yeloped a distinctive music of oui own,
wo are, therefore, free fiom the
shackles of musical nationalism, and for
that reason can select that which
pleases us best in the music of all coun
tries. Thus intelligent American concert-goers
know all the great European
schools, French, German and Ilussini,
as well as Italian opera, and what little
absolute music of any value th.it na
tion has produced
In strong contrast to this, we find
,'lhat abroad the element of nationalism
tends toward an excess of native com
positions, to the inevitable loss of
knowledge of those of contemporaneous
, composers of other countries The nat-t'-
ural result ot this is that we have in
" the great cities of the United States a
'l . more open-minded musical life than that
Is made in the face of the admitted fact
that there arc mnny instances where a
.composer has been nccorded recognition
by some country other than his own be
fore he received n full acceptance in his
own laud.
THIS absence of a highly conicn
tratcd nationalism has made it pos
slble for the great American orchestras
to include all nationalities in their per
sonnel, so tnat as n class tbey now
rank higher than any others in the
world. It is an unquestioned fact that
the French play tho wood-wind instru
ments better than any others, while the
Germans have, always excelled as string
players. The old Boston Symphony Or
chestra was the first to utilize this idea,
with the result that it was conceded to
' be the'finest in the world, even by Eu
ropean conductors, after the two Ma
qyarres (flutes), I.ongy and I.enom
(oboes), Porteau and later Mimnrt and
Sand (clarinets) and Sadony (bassoon),
alt French, were taken into tho orches
tra with the string section that Nikisch
Hnd Gerlcke, assisted by Kneisel, had
built up.
This plan has been followed since by
virtually every great American orches
tra with equal success. Take, for in
stance, the "firsts" of the reed sec
tion of our own orchestra today Ma
quarrc, flute; Tabu tea u, oboe: Bonnde,
clarinet all French, with a string body
drawn from all nations, according to
their Individual abilities.
This procedure, which makes the
finest' orchestra, would be almost im-
nAetMa (n t Tin oroflt mil Din fianffirn F
W'A Karone. where "native sons" would
, ence.
rl THE same way the freedom from
national prejudices, or obligations, or
whatever you may call it, has mado it
possible for our conductors at all times
to select programs that "balance," ir
respective of the nationalities ot tho
composers who figure upon it. There
fore, each year we hear Cesar Franck,
ii Halnt-facnB, Debussy, Bach, Mozart,
jlieeinoven, uranms, Dvorak, iscuai
Uowsky, Borodine, Itinisky-Korsnkoff,
Scriablne, et cetera, in due proportion
to the amount of permanent or contem
poraneous worthy music which they
have produced.
Of course, in each of tho great music
.centers of Europe many werks are pro-
duced every year of composers of for-
w.- clgn nationalities, but, nevertheless, it
jSth. il only natural and to be expected that

A Romance in Letters
Suggestions ot n basic nutlicntititv
run through the dimming romance of
'Trom Sunup to Sundown," a novel
bv the well -krown fiction writer, Corrn
Harris, and her daughter, Faith Harris
Leech. The collaborators have achieved
tins effect nntuiallv, for their novel
takes the outwiitd form of a series of
letters between n mother and daugbtei.
The plot Is by no means subtle. The
daughter, newly married, is helping her
husband manage n -farm on scientific
principles In nn environment not alto
gether understanding of or partial to tho
new-fangled notions of modern agricul
ture and advanced thought in other re
spects; the mother Is admiring nnd
sagacious but conservative and mistrust
ful.' 'Success Is won finally, however,
not without blunders and discourage
ments, many of which serve as tho text
for the letters Interchanged by devoted
mother nnd ambitious daughter. There
Is no moralizing in the" book, but n lot
of incidental good advice, growing spon
taneously out of the situations. Mntli.
er's advice to the ncwlywcds nnd scien
tific farmers is sound and often divert

book.

OBJECTORS TO WAR
Judge Advocate Discussds
"The Conscientious Objector'
One of the serious problems brought
up by the war, and especially In con
nection with the draft, was that of the
conscientious objector, to military serv
ice, combatant or noncombatant. Major
Walter Guest Kellogg, ,T. A., in "The
Conscientious Objector," has given a
summary of the conditions that con
fronted the War Department, how they
were modified, corrected or overborne,
and n classification of the various types
of objectors with their defenses nnd
philosophies.
The importance of the matter is em
phasized in an Impressive introduction
by Secetnry of War Baker nnd through
out the text by Judge Advocate Kellqgg.
Major Kellogg, nnturall) enough is a
special pleader of the government's caBe,
but he very fairly sets down the argu
ments of the objectors, where they had
a definite policy or program In mind,
which was not alwa.vs the case. He
makes what seems to be fair distinc
tions between the views of Friends,
Itusscllitcs, Mennonites, Holy Hollers,
anarchists. Socialists, pure pacifists and
plain dodgers. Mnny of these men were
animated by high individual ideals.
though they rould not see the funda
mental ''res publicae" that puts the re
sponsibilities and duties, offensive nnd
defensive, political and military, as n
common burden on nil who share the
benefits of free institutions. Many of
these men were far from cownrds; some
oil them in noncombatant service per
formed dangcious tasks with unflinch
ing courage.
Major Kcllogg's hook should have a
wido reading. He writes authorita
tively as chairman of the United States
board of inquiry.

TOOTH DEdAY is almost unknown
among savage races. 90 of civilized
people have bad teeth. Civilization has
brought about conditions of living and
eating which partly nullify Nature's pro
visions for protecting teeth.
'Because of a mistaken theory, based
upon a lack of knowledge of the cause and
natural prevention of tooth decay, most
modern dentifrices have actually increased
the destruction of teeth.
One of the world's greatest dental scien
tists, H. P. Pickerill, M.D., Ch.B., M.D.S.
(Birmingham), L.D.S. (England), after
years of research and study of savage and
civilized races in all parts of the globe, has
discovered and proved certain basic prin
ciples which point the way for successfully
preserving teeth in Nature's manner.
Among the principal causes of tooth de
cay are the acids formed by the fermenta
tion of food particles which find lodgment
in crevices, cavities and under the gums.
These acids attack the lime salts of the
enamel, weakening the enamel which is
destroyed by the force of mastication.
Dr. Pickerill proves that Nature has provided
a natural agent for rendering harmless these
acids of food decay.
This natural tooth preservative is saliva. A
copious flow of saliva neutralizes acid in the mouth.
The old-fashioned dentifrice theory was that
an alkaline dentifrice was necessary to neutralize
acids.
TIXDI
Dr. Pickerill has exploded this theory, first
by proving that an alkaline dentifrice can only
neutralize acid at the moment of application
and is therefore worthless as a protection against
acids, which form constantly during 24 hours of
the day; and second, by proving that a strongly
alkaline dentifrice is actually harmful, because
it paralyzes the salivary glands and checks the
flow of saliva, thus interfering with Nature's
method of preserving the teeth. j
Mennen Cream Dentifrice i3 based
upon Dr. Pickerill's discoveries and scien
tific principles.
It is non-alkaline and therefore does not
check the flow of saliva.
It cleans, whitens and polishes the teeth with
out scouring or grinding the enamel.
It breaks down tartar formations and mucin'
plaques.
By means of a mild fruit acid ingredient, it
stimulates the salivary glands and increases the
secretion, flow and alkalinity of saliva, thus
aiding Nature to preserve your teeth by a nat
ural process.
It has a 20 content of alcohol which serves'
as an antiseptic mouth wash and a conditioner'
of the gums. Aromatic oils make Mennen's
pleasant, cool and refreshing to use, with an
agreeable after-taste.
Try one tube. You will like it. Your teeth
will' be whiter than ever before. You will be
aiding Nature to preseryc your teeth naturally,
Mennen Cream Dentifrice costs 35 cents,
and the tube is smaller than many dentifrices
costing 25 cents but Mennen's was ,made to
deliver a result and not to fit a" price. '
