A distinguished British musician who hates jazz has a 'kindly Vord for it. It sewed its purpose after the war, he jittys, "for the essenoe of jazz is the eternal reiteration of a certain accent, and that restored composure to disharmonized ;t'motions," v Music, he holds, is the most potent and valuable jjorce in the world for the molding of character. It can be fused in refining human nature and inspiring mankind to hoble life and achievement. He wants to get rid of barbarian ihythrii and' give civilizing-music a chance, He will get it.

SEE VOUU J)0( TOR ' Someone has .said that tho average man never gives his jhealth a thought 'until he begins to lose it. J; : This is undoubtedly true; it also is the reason why so aUHny doctors make excellent livings. An ounce of prevention lis not only worth a pound of cure; it is much less expensive, r Senator Frank Ji. Willis, taken by death in ie midst of a political campaign,' had no premonition of his fate. Sub jecting himself to the excessive strain of a primary fight, he iad:"felt fine" until the night when his physical machinery Abruptly collapsed, lie met an end that is becoming alarm ingly common among Americans. (j ho average man who enjoys good health is apt to be rather proud of it." lie boasts that he "hasn't boon to a doc tor in years." lie eats heartily, and usually excessively; he vorits hard, plays haid, assumes that his body, will continue !to stand up indefinitely and then is disagreeably suipriscd when, all of a sudden, he finds himself seriously ill. K 11 of this is a prelude to a 'repetition of the old warning i, bout physical examinations. Your family doctor will tell -you that the surest way to get a long life free from sickness, is to see him, not when you feel badly, but when you feel lerfectly fit. The human body is a rather delicate organism. S Igns of approaching trouble manifest themselves well in ad jvance, and if they are noted promptly the trouble usually can ie averted. ;; ; 'This is an old story, to be sure. Yet it is one that need.; to be retold every so often. At every convention of physicians rnd surgeons you hear it repeated. "1 f men would only make it practice pf seeing their doctors twice each year, even when J,hey feel perfectly well, we could reduce the death rate amaz ingly," they say. And it'is true. Why not put it into practice some day soon ? Drop around to nee your family- doctor and have him look you over. If you're physically sound you'll be glad to Know it; and if fccme little thing happens to be wrong, you can have it ad justed before it grows into a serious, expensive ailment.
