Far- rell as Soloist Gives Splendid Programme in Academy Course—Big Audience Hails Masterly Performance With \ P - Throughout the masterly rendering of a programme nearly two hours long the audience sat in rapt attention and as each number came to its conclusion the house shook with a sincere and spontaneous burst of applause that left no doubt of the appreciation of the brilliant work of the porformers. For the orchestra alone the pro- gramme comprised the Tschaikowsky Symphony, No. 5, E Minor, op. 64, and the overture and Venusberg Music from Tannhauser . For Mr. Farrell with the orchestra the programme provided the Liszt Concerto, No. 1, in E Flat Major. Under the baton of Conductor Stokowski, the 85 members of the orchestra gave a wonderful interpre- tation, with responses that were in- stant for every delicate effect in shad- ing or In crashing crescendos, rising to the climaxes in unifled power and absolute harmony and rhythm and bringing out with sympathetic touch the rare beauty of the contrasting pas_ sages of light and shade. The appearance of Mr. Farrell be- fore a_home audience was the signal for a flattering exhibition of favor in the burst of applause that greeted him and called for acknowledgment even before he had seated himself at the pi- ano. i Jones, of Winsted, are among the i Connecticut men attending the second annual congress of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Washington, g | Represeatative Kennedy has written ‘a letter to a friend in Winsted in which- he urges that the Business Men's association get busy on the u~stion of a federal building.

It is needless to allow the danger- | ous germs which may be taken in with the air you breathe, to reach the ir- ritated mucous ‘membrane, and begin their destruction of your general health.

Deputy Consul at Callac Has illus- trated Story of Famous Peru Lake in Pan American Union Bulletin. In the bulletin of the Pan American union, a magazine of 157 pages, ap- pears an interesting illustrated article on Lake Huacachina, Peru, by Luther K, Zabriskie, deputy consul of this country at Callao, Peru. Concerning the lakes of which Hua- cachina is one Mr. Zabriskie writes: These lakes can be likened to those of Agnano and of Averno in southern Italy, generally recognized by natur- alists as exhausted volcano beds. The waters of Huacachina are more high Iy mineralized than those of Italy's likes. In fact they are among the most strongly mineralized known, abounting and on the bottom of each lake is found immense crystallizations. The waters are not clear nor transparent, of a yel- lowish green color and are disagree- able to the taste and smell” Lake Huacachina is in southern Peru and its curative powers have worked ver- itable miracles among thousands of suffering folk.
