By HENRIETTA M. REES.
fTHE one hundred and fiftieth an
I niversary of the birth of Lud
' A wig von Beethoven occur De
cember JiS of Ahis year, and even
now, musical celebrations of the
aented in the leading citiei of Eu-
rone and in many of, the musical cen
ters of this country. Some famous
virtuosi are planning series, of re
citals at which they will feature com
positions by this great master, whd
"first revealed the full possibilities o
the sonata form as a means of char-!
acteristic as distinct from - general J
expression,' and who "shaped his
I work according to inner desire, je
w gardless of external enticements."
Beethoven was not only gifted at
birth, as is shown bv the pari nsre
at which he began to compose: but
lie was industrious, wnicn means
. much when added to natural gift He
courted the muse, and proved the
truth of the saying that "those who
would hear the oracle speak mui.t lay
siege to the shrine." It ha been said
of his work that one is prompted to
believe not that he had the ide'a
first, find then expressed, it, but that
it often come in the process of find-
' ing the expression. There is hardly
a bar in his music of which it may
not be said with confidence, that it
has been rewritten a dozen times.
He went nowhere without his
sketchbooks, and these have proved
valuable to his , biographers. Some
of thm show ,as many as 18
attenr before he was satisfied
' with Yhe results of his work. , He
otuwiv aiiu Larciu iv. ana
ouen worxea on two, three on lour
things at once. Many anecdotes
have been told of his outbur$t . 'of
temper, his democratic (ideas, and
.his personal eccentricities.
In spite of them all he had many
good and admiring friends who.
sympathized with ' the insatiable
standard of perfection he had which
kept him advancing, and which left
to the world the great masterpieces
of music which only such ideal
could produce; V-..-
' Musical history claims that Bee
thoven towers above all other in
the art of theme development, and
Dickinson recommends, to all
students the study of the first move
ment of the third symphony to be
" thoroughly analyzed. ' , , ... ,
: "Note Beethoven's exhausttess in
genuity in modification of subjects
and motives, the profusion of ideas
obedient to . the lawi of unity and'
oronortion: the relation of' details
and episodes to the principal themes;
; the concentration ;of . styl$ f hich i
I forbids waste space and empty con-
nectmg passages. '
,i This ir.terestipg1 historian goes on
to speak ol the "immense enlarge-
ment or expresston tn-'. meaoay, - as
compared with Ws predecessors, the
advance that is shown v hi : iJeethf-
ven's harnjony in massiveriess ariel

all. "Among hS greater works t
may be said that no two, hardly two

much forlhe art of music, deserves

: Leo Ornstein, one of the most
modern of young Russian coiflposers,
will be presented in a complimentary
recital by Mickel Brothers; Monday

Composition have raised great con
troversies among the. musical people.

Whatever You Do
Don't Neglect Your
Eyes, Says Dr.
Lewis, Who
Tells How to Strengthen Eyesight
auy in Una Week's Tim in -'
Many Instances. '
A Frea Prescription You Can Have Filled
. - and Use at Borne ',
Philadelphia, Pa. Do yon wear "glasses t
are you a victim or ey strain or
otner ere weaknesses T If so, you will
be glad to know that according to Dr.
Lewis there is real hjpe for yon. He
says neglect causes more eye troubles and
poor light than any other one thing. Many
whose eyes were failing say they had their
eyes restored through the principle of this
wonatnui tree prescription. One man
says after trying it: "I Was almost blind;
could Lot see to read at alL Mow I can
read everything without any glasses and
my eyes do not wster any more. At night
they would pain dreadfully; Now they .feel
fae all the time. It was like a miracle
to me." ' A lady who used It says: "The
atmosphere seemed haty with or without
glasses, but after using this prescription
for fifteen days everything seems clear. I
can even read fine print without glasses."
It is believed that tlausands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a reason
able time and multitudes more will be
able to strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions may' be wonderfully bene
fited by following the .simple rules. Here
is the prescription : Go to any active drug
store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.
Dropone Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of
a glass of water and allow to dissolve.
With this liquid bathe the . eyes two to
four times daily. You should notice your
eyes clear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation will quickly dis
appear. If your eyea are bothering you,:
even a little, take steps to save them now
before it is too late. Many hopelslly
blind might have been saved if thfy had
cared for their e?es in time.
