Concei ts of chamber music are all
too rare. They are so rare that they
ure enjoyable oven when they are
not wholly good.
That Is one reason why the con
cert of the London string i quartet,
which Is to appear at the Rrandels
theater February 2fi. under the aus
pices of the Tuesday Musleal club,
will probably be one of the most
pleasing events of the season.
There nro other reasons, however,
than the rarity of such concerts.
First of these is the excellence of
rne quartet. This excellence is un
questionable. With the Flonzaley,
and one or two others, It ranks
among the finest In the world. An
other reason for anticipating a de
lightful evening is found in the wise
choice of programs for. which the
quartet Is well known.
It is too bad that there are not
more good string quartets like the
London, for many of the greatest
composers have put their finest
thoughts into music for such groups.
Symphonies are all very well when
a composer wants to make a musical
oration, but when he wishes merely
to talk informally, as between friends,
or to commune with his own
thoughts, quartet music Is much
more sympathetic.
Advance reservations for the ninth
annual convention of the Nebraska
Music Teachers' association, to he
Mfk held in Lincoln February 9. 10, and
11, Indicate that this will he the
largest convention ever held by the
association.
Much of the interest shown in the
convention is due, no doubt, to the
announcement of the choice of three
eminent musicians to lead the master
class conferences. They are Oscar
Seagle, Rudolph Reuter and Richard
Czerwonky.
These artists announced last week
the subjects of their addresses. Seagle
will speak on "The Art of Singing In
All Its Phases.” Reuter will discuss
"Plano Problems, Mechanical and In
terpretative,” nnd Ozerwonky’s sub
ject will lie "The Art of the Violin,
Technical nnd Interpretative.”
Other Interesting addresses will he
given by Dr. Winnifred Hyde of the
department of psychology of the
University of Nebraska, Jacob Kwnl
wasser o ft lie University of Iowa, and
Mrs. John F. Lyons, president of the
National Federation of Musical clubs.
The art collection of the University
of Nebraska will be open to members
of the association, and Professor Paul
Orumann director of the college of
fine arts, will give a gallery talk on
the current exhibition.

Today’s Beauty Aid
You can bring out the beauty of
your hair to Ita very beet advantage
by washing It with Canthrox. It
makes a very simple, inexpensive
shampoo, which cleanses the hair and
scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff,
girt and excess oil, leaving a wonder
/ully clean, wholesome feeling. After
Its use, you will find that the hair
dries quickly and evenly, is never
streaked in appearance and Is al
ways bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy,
in fact, that It looks more abundant
than It is, and so soft that arranging
It becomes a pleasure. Just use a
teaspoonful of Canthrox, which you
can get from any good druggist, dis
solve It in a cup of hot water: this
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair Instead of Just the top of
the head.
Your druggist can supply you and
the low cost—scarcely three cents a
shampoo—Is almost unbelievable.—

Noted Organist to Play in Omaha
Concerts by artists like Pietro Yon,
who is to appear at Kin* Presby
terian church February 14, are such
as reach Omaha only once every year
or two,
I,ast year It was Marcel Dupre, or
ganist of Notre Dame cathedral of
Paris. This year it Is Yon, organist
of St. Francis de Xavier church, New
York, and honoiary organist to the
Vatican. He Is one of Dupre's few
rivals for the crown of “the world's
finest organist.”
Yon excels in the interpretation of
Bach, and the program which he will
play in Omaha will doubtless Include
several compositions by this match
less composer.
However, his will be a different
Bach from that usually heard.
‘‘Evfn in the classical Bach,” said
a recent newspaper criticism, ”he
finds new ways of interpretation with
which he captivates the public and
reaches even the uninitiated with the
persuasive voice of all things truly
great. He fully possesses all the
gifts which an artist can have.”
Mr. Yon was born in Piedmont,
Italy, and obtained his musical edu
cation in Rome and Paris, but came
to the United States several years
ago. He returned to Italy for a con
cert tour last summer, and it was a
triumphal journey in which he added
greatly to his already heavy laurels.
The women of First Presbyterian
church, under whose auspices he is
to appear in Omaha, were fortunate
in being able to offer music lovers
such a notable treat.

Sure Way to Get Rid of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do "this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips. By morning, most,
if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and two or three more appli
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred time* better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounce* i» all
you will need. Thi* simple remedy
has never been known to fail.

Tin© Relation off Infections to Margery
_______J
(Published by authority of tho commit
tee of public Rffnira of the Omaha Doug
las County Medical aociety.)
By JOHN E. SI MMERS, M. I).
The story of Infections Is interest
ing. Curiously enough it had its be
ginning in efforts mnde for the pres
ervation of foods and for the saving
of the silk trade.
From time Immemorial man has
preserved his food -material beyond
the seasons when it naturally keeps
sound and eatable. It was known
that the spoiling of food was tem
porarily prevented by cooling, and
that moist, foods undergo putrefac
tion and become unsafe to use, a!
though the reasons for this decom
position were unknown. Knowledge
of food preservation accumulated
with experience; meats and fish were
dried, smoked and sailed. Milk wait
made lnlo«cheese and grape juice was
fermented into wine.
Some 250 years ago a monk named
Klrcher described what he saw with
his miscroscope, a convex lens or
magnifier similar to those used by
ancient gem cutters. He examined
pus, vegetable matter, blood, water
and other fluids and claimed to see
invisible "worms.” Others with more
powerful magnifiers ns the micro
scope was developed saw the same
"worms" and began to classify them, i
Hies Kepi Away.
It was determined that they were
plants and not animals and had pecu
liarities of growth. At first it was
thought that these micro-organisms
were of spontaneous origin, as the an
cients had thought all living things
were. However, it was proven that
if flies were kept away from meat
so that they could not lay their eggs
on it, the meat remained free from
maggots. This experiment, with oth
ers. led to the now well recognized
truth that life springs from life and
In that way alone. This was wcil
proven in food preservation. Moist
food soon decomposes.
One of the earliest investigators, in
examining the animalcules under the
microscope, had noted that when food
spoiled it was filled with countless
numbers of these “worms." Bearing
this in mind, a little more than 100
years ago, an experimenter proved
that if foods containing considerable
moisture were placed in containers
and subjected to high degrees of heat,
and then the containers sealed, de
composition did not occur and the
food remmned edible. Upon this fact
depends the present methods for the
preservation of fruits and the can
ning of meats and vegetables.
A wider application of the principle,
that cold keeps germs Inactive result
ed In the establishment of our cold
storage plants. As the study of
micro-organisms developed they were
classified end the many kinds of
vegetable germs were called bacteria;
some of a peculiar shape which caused
fermentation were called yeasts, and
had long been in use. unknown, hut
essential In the making if wine and
Of leavened breed, as shown by the
most ancient Hebrew records.
Work of Pasteur.
Alarnt the middle of the last cen
tury a great scientist had developed
in France, Houis Pasteur. His studies
in the chemistry of fermentation (he
was a great mlcroecoplstll did much
for purification in the making of wine
and beer. His studies taught him
that micrn-org.ipisma (bacteria) did
not come of themselves, but from
other bacteria.
When, In sterile broth, liacterla be
gan to grow, they must have come
from the outside; there was no such
thing as spontaneous generation; life
came from life. Out of this and many
experiments came the “germ theory,"
thnt “fermentation, decomposition,
putrefaction, are the act of the living
dust in the air; that these bacteria
are not begotten by the fermenting
liquid, hut come into it from the out
side- that a liquid, really sterile, ex
posed to air really sterile,* will re
main sterile forever."
For many years prior to 1865 the
silk Industry of the world had been
in bad shape—becoming worse and
worse—because of the silkworm
disease. Pastuer set himself to dis
cover the cause of this disease and if
possible to eradicate it. All attempts
at stamping it out had failed. Ho
succeeded in discovering that the
disease was due to a micro organism,
that it was contagious. He discov
ered the methods of contngton anil
how to eliminate them. Out of this
study came the germ theory disease,
upon which sanitation and modern
scientific medicine and surgery arc
based.
Suffering Intense.
Prior to the work of Pasteur, the
suffering and mortality from nil kinds
of wounds and operations was
simply frightful; the death rate from
maternity cases was appalling. Joseph
Lisffer, a Scotch surgeon practicing in
Glasgow, after years of patent study
of wounds and their repair, became
convinced that as Pasteur had/dls
covered that fermentation, a putre
faction, cam* from microorganisms
In the air, the poisoning of wounds
and the horrible consequences came
about In the same way.
Lister, therefore, washed and
dressed wounds with what he called
antiseptics, to kill the germs that
may have contaminated the wounds;
the dressings were applied to keep
out other germs. The dressings, im
pregnated with antiseptics, also pre
vented fermentation in the dis
charges, and inhibited the grow-th of
any bacteria not killed by the anti
septic. The results of this method
of treating woutida were magical. The
death rate from all kinds of wounds
dropped to an hitherto undreamed-of
minimum. Hospital gangrene disap
peared.
Kevoliition in Surgery.
Compound fractures and amputation
patients recovered where formerly
all had died, Lister’s discovery, based
upon Pasteur’s work, was the licgin
nlng of a revolution in the practice
of surgery. Improvement in the tech
nique of (he antiseptic treatment of
wounds increased with experience and
it is used today in conjunction with
the so-called asceptic method. There
is nothing occult in the asceptic
method.
It is a refined process similar In
principle to that used In the preserva
tion of foods. It is the keeping pure
by sterilization. All germs are killed
before they can in any way come in
contact with the wound. Towels,
sheets, sponges, instruments, rubber
gloves, and all paraphernalia worn by
the surgeon, assistants and nurses,
are thoroughly sterilized by heat.
The skin or membrane through
which Incisions are to lie made is
sterilized by careful washing and the
use of antiseptics. The hands of the
surgenn and all assistants are steril
ized in the same way before putting
on of rubber gloves. The prevention
of contamination of the wound dur
ing the carrying out of the operative
process is essential. It Is now pos
sible to invade safely all of the Inner
recesses of the body to the lessening
of suffering and the prolongation of
human life.
Modern sanitation, which has aided
in bringing about the marvelous In
dustrial progress of our times, is the
direct result of the work of Pasteur
and his co-laborers. Many of the most
important industries of the world
have been made possible by the
studies of the chemists and bacteriolo
gists of every land. They have
worked out the special germs causing
most of the contagious and infectious
diseases, both medical and surgical.
They have shown that many are
preventable and many other* curabla.
with which physician* formerJy
groped in the dark: Among pmgrfst
sive peoples the day of plagues, which
were more than decimating, is of the
past.
