Mme. Francesca Alda, a new singer, Insofar as Pittsburg is concerned, was in the part of "Gilda," and she eang her way into popular favor at once. In the aria "La Donna Mobile," she gave to it a beautiful rendition, holding the audience almost spellbound until she had completed It. Constantino continued to hold the place he won earlier in the week, and sang the duke's part magnificently, acting it as well as be sang it. Baklanoff, the Russian baritone, outdid his work of the earlier part of the week, and as "Rigoletto" made the buffoon a character that stood out with sharply defined outline that made it rank with the best portrayals of the role.

Howard White. Nivette, Perlnl and the other minor characters sang and acted well, while the chorus was up to the standard set by the company on its premier appearance.

Congress will be asked this winter to provide for sufficient increase of infantry to lengthen the intervals of tropical service The reasons are, for the most part, the present appalling and needless loss of life and money, to the nation, in a time Peace.

The physical manifestations or the reasons can be seen at the United States Army, transport docks right here in San Francisco. It is not necessary to go to the tropics. There are two- great national insurance organizations, the Army and the Navy. Each year hundreds of millions of dollars are paid to these organizations for security insurance against internal disorder and foreign aggressions. The fundamental principle of all Insurance is to accumulate assets during normal periods to meet excessive loss incident to the inevitable periods of abnormal conditions.

Th assets of the ordinary insurance corporation engaged in issueing policies against fire or life loss are computed in dollars. The assets of our military insurance organization which secures our national prestige and internal peace are computed in men, equipment and discipline. In time of peace our military service is naturally supposed to be undergoing perfection in organization to meet the exigencies of war the same as a private insurance corporation is during normal periods; strengthening its assets to meet pestilence or conflagration.

WEEK BIG ARTISTIC SUCCESS. The two performances brought to a close a week, of grand opera such as Pittsburg never lias witnessed at any time in the past. Of this there can be no doubt. Artistically, the week spelled perfection. There was every component necessary to make up grand opera in its true sense.

There were artists of worth; there was splendid orchestration, there were settings that stamped the scenic artist as one of the best in the profession; there was costuming that bespoke careful attention to detail and lavish outlay; there was an excellent choice of operas; there were ensembles that set a new standard in this line for Pittsburg, and to cap it all there were audiences, that, while they did not rise to the desirable level in number, left nothing to be desired in the way of enthusiastic receptions ex Washington is a cold? and Theophilus, both of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Charles D.

Maybe the Burnt would have had a messaee for them that iiW mean more happiness for others in 1J10. Crowds in trains, churches, the thea- i ter, dance halls and other crowded places are conducive to the spread of colds.

Dance halls are one of the principal sources of coughing. Benjamin Franklin once wrote an essay on colds. Some of the things he said are good today. He pointed out that the weather alone could not cause, colds and coughing. Turkish bath attendants are in hot air one minute, and cold water the next, yet they do not take cold.

Neither did the Indians, when they roamed through snow up to their necks. Colds and coughing were unknown, to them until the days of civilization. Overeating and improper feeding are things that will make 'most anybody subject to the despised cough. There's been a lot of holiday overeating lately, and this may have caused the cold epidemic. Ever since old-fashioned almanacs began to circulate, home remedies for colds have been tried.

But none of them is reliable. Any doctor knows this. When people begins to cough, as many in Pittsburg are doing now, they are laying the foundation for more trouble. If you have taken cold Don't monkey with it. Don't let it run along.

See a doctor and follow his advice. Where he soldier kills 1,000 men, a famous doctor once said, the cook in the kitchen kills her 10.000. So if you are one of them in Pittsburg who hasn't caught cold yet, BE CAREFUL ABOUT YOUR EATING. "Feed a cold and starve a fever" was one of the worst pieces of advice ever handed out to a coughing public. Fevers follow colds and most colds are accompanied by fever.

Your doctor is the best adviser you can get if you are coughing, for the treatment of the cold depends on the individual. What may cure you would do somebody else little good. The doctor is the person to decide. Fresh air, good food, plenty of pure water to drink, and sensible dress are four sure preventatives of cold if good care is taken of the body. Your doctor is the man to give you- medicine for your cold.
