On another occasion the authority just quoted said "as we all know, syncopation is in' itself a perfectly legitimate modification of any given rhythm. ¥ syncopation be un- righteous, then every great composer must do penance: 'Ragtime cannot be denounced for the employment of syncopation, it is for its wamton dis- tortion.

German Boasts of Atrocities She Committed. Washington, May 9.---Teutonic frightfulness as practised in France and Belgium has been made the subject of a German warning to neutral nations of the fate which they may expect if they take up arms against the Central Powers. "If there are any still thinking of siding with the Allies, let them take warning from the fate of others," says the warning. It is in the form of a circular, which recites the amount of booty seized in France and Belgium, the number of churches damaged, and destroyed, inhabitants, and, finally, the delib- erate mistreatment of British pris- oners-of-war. ¥ [» 40 TO 50 MILLIONS the money wrung from the stricken Burdock Blood Bitters is the great- est blood purifier known.

I recommend B.B.B, to all I.can, for I know it to be a great remedy." i -------- "Alkali In Shampoos Bad for Washing Hair ------------------------------------------------------ Don't use prepared shampoos or anything else, that contains too much alkali, for this is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the Rair brittle.
