CONCERTS FOR PUPILS STMPHOXY ORCHESTRA WILL REHEARSE IX PUBLIC. On Friday Preceding Each Recital School Children May Hear Entire Programme Rendered. The Portland public school children are to have the privilege of hearing series of symphony orchestra con certs to be given in Portland this Winter. At a meeting of the board of directors of the symphony orchestra. held Friday, an agreement was mads by which a special performance of each concert will be given for tne school children on the Friday preceding the Sunday concert at the Heilig. This agreement was reached by the direc tors after a conference of President Christensen. of the symphony or chstra, with Superintendent Alderman and Commissioner Brewster. The performance for the school chil dren will be In the nature of a final rehearsal for the musicians and will be given in the Gipsy Smith Audi torlum, which has been leased by the department of publlo affairs. Only school children will be admitted. Mr. Alderman will arrange to have all the children in the upper grades attend one or more of the concerts. The management of the concerts for the children will be in the hands of the music section of the Recreation League, which is being organized now. Speaking of the plan, Mr. Christen sen said: "In addition to the regular programme arrangements are to - be made for the conductor of the concert or some one else to give the children brief explanation of the music, so that they may listen with a clear under- tanding of the thought the composer meant to express. This will be a long sten in the cultivation of musical taste and appreciation among the young peo ple of Portland ana snouia nave a far-reaching effect." The dates lor the rehearsals will be: October 31. December 12, January 9, February 13, March 13, April 17. EARS NOT NESSESARY i, -. V. , , : ' - - "-'-iifiiiinlilntrnriiiftisiliniili ill Stephen JLesTrose, SHOCLD LEARN SAVI3UIERS EARLY, ADVISES CODY. Multnomah Club Instructor Dis putes Theory That Prodigies Will Fail at Maturity. Much has been said, pro and con, on the advisability of teaching youngsters how to swim and making speeders of them before they are out of their teens but they have another champion of their rights In Jack Cody, the Multno mah Club Instructor. Many of the older swimmers argue that the present crop of youthful speed ers will not keep on developing but ill deteriorate as swimmers when their bodies are fully developed. I have two youngsters, botn less than 2 years of age. and they are al ready swimmers. I am sure that I have not started them too early and they will continue to develop," said Cody. ' We teach our boys the rudiments of baseball when they are old enough to lift a bat and they play It until their joints stiffen. Swimming is a much milder form of exercise in that there are no sudden exertions but the rhyth- matlo movement of all parts of the body. "Nowadays children should be taught the art of natation almost as soon as they can walk. Many show the wisdom of such a course by becoming expert swimmers before they are 20 years of age. "This Summer I took hold of a lad, 10' years old, who I knew was a born swimmer and only needed Instruction and proper coaching. His name Is Ed McKerron, the boy who is now Nation ally famous for winning the 12-mile Missouri River Marathon swim in Au gust. "He is young for a ' long-distance swimmer. He defeated men from all over tho Middle West, but that race did not end his career. Next Summer he will do greater things and will con tlnue to develop as he Is as much in his infancy as a, swimmer as he is In years."

The association has two lines of ac tivity a service for general nursing and a service for the care of persons affected with tuberculosis.

To those who are unable to obtain proper medical care and nursing assist ance or to provide themselves with proper food it dispenses its charity. It furnishes them with clothing and pays the expenses of such as may need care in sanitariums. At no time during the past three years have the expenses of the asso ciation fallen below $150 a month, whereas the average expenses for this entire period have - exceeded $500 a month. The present average expense is, approximately, $500 a month, solely for the care of persons afflicted with tuberculosis.

Hyomel is nature's true remedy for catarrh. There -Is no stomacn dosing you breathe It. When using this treatment, you breathe healing balsams and effectively reach the most remote air cells of the throat, nose and lungs, the catarrhal germs are destroyed quick and sure relief results. Hvomel often restores health to chronic cases that had given up au hope of recovery. Its best action is at the start of the disease when the breath is becoming dffensive, and con stant sniffling, discharges irom tne nose, droppings in the throat and fre quent sneezing, or that choked-up feel- intr begin to make life a Duraen. At the lirst symptom of catarrhal trouble, such as crusts in the nose, watery eyes, hawking and morning choking, surely use Hyomel and see how quickly you get relief. All druggists sell it. The complete outfit, including in haler and bottle .of liquid, costs but $1; extra bottles of liquid, if later needed. 50 cents. Hyomel is sola unaer guar antee to refund the money if It does not give satisfaction. Adv. i Trade Marked. ELIMINATE S PLATES AND BRIDGE WORK. Indeed, It has often been said that "Troth" needs no ornament, and 'that what she borrows from the pencil is deformity." The plain, unwrlnkled tale of Alveolar Dentistry needs no adorn ment. A simple statement of what It is should suffice. . . Briefly, the Alveolar method Is this: If you have two or more teeth left In either jaw, we can supply all that you have lost with teeth as good, solid and sound as the best set of natural teeth ever grown in any human being's mouth, and a whole lot more beauti ful than nature's best product, without resorting to such makeshifts as partial plates and the unsanitary bridgework. Alveolar Teeth are not only beautiful, but they are comfortable and durable. We guarantee them to last a lifetime, where the longevity of bridgework is seldom ever longer than five or six years and generally a good aeai jess. Tt la nAvr e-u nranteed to last bv any first-class dentist who is responsible and reliable, because all llrst - class rionHnta win tli vou that bridsrework at best is doubtful. It is a painful operation and gives trouble from the time it is put in the mouth until it has to be taken out. In many cases where bridsrework is impossible, and all cases where it is possible, we can replace your missing teeth with perfect Alveolar Teeth. The pain incident to the work is practically none; the ex pense is the same as the best bridge vnrlf hut in satisfaction there is no comparison between the two. We have samples in our office to show at all times hundreds of patients here in our noma cuy 10 reier io. ex aminations and booklets on Alveolar dentistry are absolutely free.
