MUSIC
One of Our Clever
Omaha Violinists
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
DID you ever try to balance on
an iron rail, and walk in an
easy and erect manner? Or did
jou ever try to balance on a bait or
cylinder, and move it along? This
is even hard for four-looted animals,
to ay nothing of man, yet both have
been known to do it. It is something
of the same sort of proposition one
meets in the study of music. Th
same tort of concentration is re
quired, the same continuous practice
and the same alert watchfulness lest
you fall off to one side or the other,
If we take our music seriously, wc
must be careful lest we take it too
seriously and lose the joy ot it; ii
we take it too frivolously we must
be careful lest we lose the serious
beauty of it. If we take it ambitious
ly, in our desire to play correctly and
technically well, we must be care
ful lest we lose sight of its musical
(jualities; if we are too intent on de
livering the whole message we must
be tareful lest we slight details
which made it possible.. We must
find a balance and keep it, other
wise we are liable to become dry
pedantic, players, or slushy sentimen
talists, either one of which is unin
teresting. But it is a different thing to be
able to maintain one's balance at
home, or in the teacher's studio,- or
in a public recital. j
This is one of the principal values
of the pupils' recitals, many of
.. u:-l r.i .i . !
mum die lur uicormng at mis uuic
of the year. A student's musical
education is not : complete without
appearances in these recitals, for
they are a test of his ability to con
centrate and to maintain his musical
balance, which he can not find else
where. Few elements enter into the
work at home to distract the atten
tion. But. other elements ettler into
the lesson, for when the teacher is
present, one keeps one of his mind's
eyes upon his work and the other
upon the teacher,, and in many ways
this- is more of a test than a public
appearance, for the teacher is look
ing for -the unconscious as well as
conscious faults, '-and . one, usually
finds what one is looking. for. But
many varied . elements enter into
a public appearance which are liable
to catch the attention unawares, and
the little thing which would pass un
noticed at home, or which could be
remedied in the.studio looms large
and appalling when it happens if
one is presenting, music before
others. But - if one has found a
musical halanqe he caw maintain in
the studio he. will probably keep
it in spite of-a few slips, which are
public if one. 'has never stopped to
think that there isconsiderable dif
ference between butterflies and ele
phants, and attempts to sing or play
"The Butterflies" in public, and they
sound like elephants, it is not because
he is scared, "or has a cold or not used
to public, appearance, it is because
he did not find a balance beforehand.

without ever suspecting the real cause of their trouble.
Organic iron is like th iron In ymnr
blood and like ths iron in spinach,
lentils and apples, whils metallic iron
is iron just as it comes from ths
action of strong acU on small pieces
of iron. Organic lien mar b had
from your druggist ui.aer the naros
of Nuxated Iron, riuxatea iron
represents organic iron in such a
highly concentrated form that one
dose is estimated to be approx
imately equivalent (in organic
iron content) to eating half
a quart of spinach, or one
quart of green vegetables.
It is (ike taking extract of
beef instead of eating
pounds of meat. Nuzated
Iron also contains a n
nurkable product, brought
to the attention of ths
French Academy of
Medicine by the celebrated
Dr. Robin, which repre
sents the principal chem
ical constituent of active
living nerve force, FOR
FEEDING THE NERVES,
so that NUXATED IRON
might be said to be both a
BLOOD and a NERVE
FOOD.
Nuxated Iron comet

Look for the letters

They think that they are weak snd nervous
as a result of age, worry or overwork or they
think that their disturbed digestion, bead
. aches, heart palpitation, shortness of breath,
pains across the back, etc. are due to some
serious disease, which is often not the case
at all their, btood has simply thinned out

iron to enable your blood to change the
food you eat into living cells and tissue. With
out iron this change cannot be made and as
a consequence, nothing you eat does you the
proper amount of good you do not get the
full strength out of it. Women especially need
iron more than men as t.'eir indoor life snd
the strain they are under, renders them
more anaemic.
It is astonishing bow very ifw women after
thirty. years. Of. age, liara sufficient iron in
their blood, and it is almost equally surprising
how many girls are afflicted in the same way.
Lack of iron not only brings on a devitalizing
weakness but it makes a woman look old very
quickly as it takes away the youthful fresh
ness from her lips snd cheeks and the
sparkle snd life from her eyes and even
gives her face a haggard and "drawn" look.
IF YOU WISH TO RENDER YOUR
MOTHER A REAL SERVICE, take her to a
medical laboratory and have a "blood-count"
made of her red blood corpuscles and see Just
how anaemic she may beor if yon do not
want to do this, insist that she eat more spin
ach snd other iron containing vegetables and
take organic iron with them for a month and
see what a difference it makes.'- ' ,
Thousands of women have surprisingly m
Creased their strength, energy and endurance
fn two weeks time by this simple experiment.
But in making this test be sure that the iron
you take is organic iron snd not metallic or
mineral iron which people usually take.
