Mark Twain's saying that, "If water wore only black- and all other liquids uncolored, it would bo easy to dotoct adultera tion," shows that Mark was a "Safety First" and Pure Food enthusiast.

Tho best of food is required for hla trade, though prices aro low. This Is one benefit of the Welch system. To provide fresh eggs, poultry and vegeta bles, Mr. Welch maintains a model farm at Chcrrycroft, his fine country homo near Benson, Neb. His automobile truck make daily trips to and from Chorrycroft with produce. An expert poultry man has charge of his flock of Single Comb Whfto Leghorns, numbering at times over 5,000 head. Also a fine flock of Indian Runner ducks. An experienced gardener gives exclusive atten tion producing garden truck, both In tho open and under glass. At tlmea there aro over a dozen people employed on tho place. The homo is very modern, with, electricity. Its own water works, own Intercommunicating telephone system and other features found In tho best city homes. Tho latchBtrlrtg Is always out for visitors. Someone will show you all over tho place any time of tho day you go there. Cherrycroft Is about a mile and 1418 FARNAM STREET Tho places owned by John W. Welch have demonstrated tho demand of tho public for tho nower requirements. From ono place In Omaha, started about eight years ago-and feeding a few hundred a day, to four places feeding thousands, is the best evidence of their popularity. Mr. Welch's places in other western cities show tho same great success. That tho Wolch plan gives tho customer better food and better servlco than any place operated' individually Is to the pain of tho customer. It is reasonable to believe' that with eight places of business, for which somo 219 SOUTH: 16TH STREET by a distinct mental effort you could con.tln.U6? Do you know why?

Therefore, all tho blood that can bo drawn to this do partment is sont thoro. There Is less blood In tho brain. It becomes slug sjiih and you aro sleepy. Now you can compel this blood to remain In the brain by concentrating yoUr thoughts. If this is dono, digestion proceeds' unnaturally alow and you havo 'indigestion."

INTERIOR 1418 FARNAM' STREET 1406 DOUGLAS STREET a quarter northwest, from the Benson postofflco on Military Road. Mr. Welch maintains his own grocery, market and bakery, from which all his places aro supplied as required. Mr. Welch belloves that people can eat at his places for less money than they can prepare tho same class of food at home, 'on account of his ability to buy for less money in quantities. Mr. Wolch says: "I figure bo close on how much I can give a customer for his monoy that if I could clear ono cent above all exensea on each cus tomer I would bo satisfied, as I am feeding 10,000 people overy day. This requires more meat, groceries, etc., than many small cities." 'Cleanliness and Servlco are. tho watchwords at Welch's. The tile floors and' side walls, marble counters, etc., are not put in for show, nor to get cheap tradei They are there for their sanitary qualities and to pleao the Intelligent trade who patronlzo them. If you are not eating your meals in one of Welch's places yoa are not getting tho beat for your money. These foujr places,- the Qulckserv Cafeteria, in tho City National Bank Building, and the Boston Lunch-itqoms at 219 South 16th St., 1408 Farnaiu St. and 1406 Douglas St, are tho only Omaha places with Welch Service. t r - ' 0 51 C jflummniinnii if BY HBNRlRTTA M. RKB9. 08EF HOFFMAN, who hit tear keen known h one of the greatest plantain of tho worlaj recently gave two recllsM In" New York Ctty. When he toyed at Came's hall. Be fore th eoneofi wa two-thirds over the 9k batiwta leave their seats for the eirit In' ill sYw, and a goodly portion of th auWhco left At another one at tn Metropolitan, th house wai Jammed when tram their Insistent applause the peote could not get enough of him. Matttlata, In Musical America, points out as the reason for tho difference!, that the troubi was not with the planUt, but with the program. At tho Carnegie hall con cert he played a Beethoven sonata that lasted forty-flve minutes, and followed y fifty-five minutes of uninterrupted Schumann., As a result he not only tested the endurance of his audience, but ex hausted It. If a long program ot this sort would exhaust a New York audience accustomed as it Is to' good music, and a great deal of It, It only goes to show that' other artists as well should be very careful not to wear out the audience with too many heavy numbers, or those thai aro long drawn out. It one of the greatest artists In tho world Is liable to fall Into this error, one who has al ways stood for "Art for Art's sake." Is It to be wondered at that others may occasionally err lit the same direction. As It Is justly a&fd, the publlo Is to blame In the majority ot cases, as Its adula tion tends to make one lose all sensa of what Is possible and endurable in art Mephlsto also recalls that It was through tho 'generosity of some wealthy NeW Yorkers that Josef Hoffman has become the great artist that he Is. He came to America a child prodigy, and won Immediate success at hla debut at the Metropolitan. He became a popular fad. Mayor Strong, at the Instance of some society for the protection of chil dren Interfered with his tour and the boy returned to Europe, enabled to do so and to finish his career, through the public spirit and munlflence ot these New Yorker, who raised a sum of money between 0,000 and 00,(Ol Thus he he came qualified to disprove the old adage that Juvenile prodigies never amount to anything in later life. In the Opera appears a "Critique of Critics." W Lawton Mackall, In which We found the following remarks upon the Matsshr to music: . One cannot listen to more than a cer tain amount of music within riven iNtfta ot time; a point is reached whro HstsfiteC lcomc intolerable. listening is the receiving of a sensation, a stimulus frosa without: "and the nervous svttem. after yielding to it for a normal length of time, rebels, balks and enloyrnect ceases. It la this fact of making a passive sub nissta t xdtatlon, that makes listen ing a Jlsnwa ot auch limited duration. Ss vaiy. jsarsoa who. as Uitener, finds i a twenty-mtnuto sonata rather ions, might practice with sent on that samo composition for two or three hours, ora torios and symphonies aro never as lomf to the performers as they aro to the lis tener. The performers ire active, crea tive. (No preacher was over bored by the length of his own btrmon.) The sum of tho whole matter Is that while profes sional musicians can perform and practice niMe for many hours with unflagging' Interest, professional critics cannot listen hour after hour without growing stale. He speaks of tha hurried lite of the critics In the large cities, when it Is sometimes necessary to attend several musical affairs in a slnglo night. He speaks ot the sincerity of the critic, who as a rule Is very conscleutlous. and tries to 'make his criticisms as Interesting and Instructive as possible, and ot the quali ties ot th Ideal crltlo as breadth ot mUsti cat Ideals, patriotism, a' careful listening ability and clear thinking Independence. Tho following" from tho New York Her ald gives a good Idea to the general reader of the trend ot the tnuslo form known as tho oratorio: Choral music, which a few years ago seemed doomed to die a natural death. U pressing through a pbribd ot chaugo not widely differing from that Which the opera experienced a few decades back, and it ia not unlikely that real live In terest, such as existed In the past In the singing or largo cnorai worns, again win be in evidence. Few ot the present day composers whom tho judgment of tho world has placed In the front rank have spent much effort In this direction. Opera, symphonic muslo and songn are taking up their time and they aro putting their best energies into doveloplng harmony ana experimenting with instrumental colors. If the opinion of the English Is takeri, but without going Into that question, he at last has been Instrumental in bringing about a change that may revive the or atorio. Formerly tha oratorio was a sue- cesalon of recitation, arias, duets and choruses, written without much thouaht of unified connection, teach number be ing complete in itseir The musie was or a cold, pure typo that semed suitable tor expressing rellBlous reeling's. nut today It Is different Just as the opera has chansed from n rnllecttnn of detached songs and choruses to real uni fied music drama, to the oratorio la do veloplne along dramatic tines. Not only are the texta becoming more connected, but all or the characteristic features of modern music are being utilised.

According to O. Mark WllSon In tho Musician, De Pachmann has the smallest hands of the famous pianists. They are rather odd In shape, the body ot the hand being long and narrbw, while the' fingers are short and thick. De Paohmann asserts that pianists with short fingers have greater command over the volume of tone, stylo ot touchj rapid execution, etc., on ac count of tho (VecreaJed though steadier leverage which they of necessity must adopt.
