Walnut or Oak. Special Sale of MUSIC ROLLS ALL WEEK 3 Popular 75c Rolls, for $1.00. The Pianist STRIKES HARDER when the music calls for an ACCENT. He does it almost unconsciously. And when the music requires a sub dued, dreamy expression, HIS MUS CLES RELAX almost unconsciously. You see, his ear catches the rhythm, harmony and meaning of a piece of music ; and his brain sends impulses, by . way of nerves, to his arms and fin gers. Then muscular force now heavy, now light-changes those little mes sages from the brain into various shades of TONE. Now: You'lffind yourself playing the Gul-bransen-made Player in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. The only differ enceand it really isn't a big differ ence is that those brain-messages will go to the muscles of your legs and feet. When you want to accent a note or :hord, you almost unconsciously will push one foot down sharply. You CAN'T HELP DOING IT if you love music! It will "COME NA TURAL." And the Gulbransen Action mil RESPOND instantly like LIGHTNING 1 That's the great quality of the Gulbransen re sponse! The EXACT SHADE OF FORCE that you put into the footstroke will be answered with THE CORRESPOND ING SIIADE OP TONE. Get that word "correspondingt" We don't mean that you'll produce just an accent always the same degree of ac centbut that you'll get the RIGHT SIIADE at the RIGHT TIME, as a skilled pianist does. Oh, yes, there are other Play ers, but we, as Player Special ists, tell you emphatically: the Gulbransen-made Player is the "best buy" on the market. A. HOSPE CO.

The evening was spent with music and games. Musical History Repeats Itself in America Today Even at this late day in the history of phonograph and player-piano music we occasionally hear folks ob jecting to what is called automatic and semi-automatic instruments on one score or another. "They make music too easy for young people," it is said. "Keep them from their grind at piano or violin or vocal lessons; make them think there is little use in working hard for some thing that can be bought in perforated rolls or small black discs.'1 It is interesting, in this connection, to look back a few hundred years to the beginnings of musicalNAmerica. When in the early sixteen hun dreds preachers here and there be gan to advocate the introduction of new songs into the churches, and thus thaw out the Puritan ice which had encrusted all forms of musical ex pression and reduced the stream to a tiny trickle of stereotyped psalm tunes, people began to object quite stormily. Song singing was a "new way." Otjier music was almost an unknown "tongue" to most of the people. There were too many tunes to be learned. No one could learn them all. Songs might open the door to instruments, and instruments were the work of the devil for the seduction of mankind. The forefathers of the people had got into heaven on the wings of the ortho dox psalm tunes, therefore there was no need for other music than that. A long, hard 6ght .was started against the icebergs of prejudice. Point by point was won by the lovers of music (new men from across the sea). Finally the organ was admitted to some of the more daring churches, and the list of tunes increased from five or six to a dozen or more, here and there I There seems to be a pronounced demand for music among the masse and anything which aids in bringin music to the people must of necessit) find a permanent place in our lives. The skeptical had best pass judg ment slowly. F.ven musical history is repeating itself. ' Missouri River Fleet Is Doubled in Size "The Elk" is the name of a new steamboat just obtained by the Mis souri River Navigation league.

And ptneh tnu causes spots which take a long time to illsupptiar. Small blackheads are usually present by the thou sands. Now the remedy for this condition Is simple, and - It never falls.

Hut I guess I'm not cut out for that kind of work. I pre fer to let those have It who need It, and Heaven knows there are millions who do need It. This formula produces start ling results on the complexion In a few days, making It spntless and beautiful, no matter how "had" It was before.

Yotaj now are go ing over the same ground. Save your hair, your years, and your money. Do as I aay now, and get from your drug gist one ounce of beta-qulnol, and mix It with eVther a half pint sack of water and alcohol, or one pint of bay rum.

Soaps do dry up the natural secretions of the hair, and cannot remove the film of fatty substances and scales forming on the scalp. These must be dissolved away.
