DAVID BISPHAM, FAMOUS BARITONE, DIES AT AGE OF 64 prea ey Heart Disease Ends Brilliant Career of Grand Opera and Concert Singer. David Sou!) Bispham, the man ac- knowledged to have done more for American music than probably any ether person, is dead. The famous | baritone of the old “Bostonians” and | the Metropolitan died of heart dis- | cease in his rooms at No, 145 West Both Street yesterday in a sudden relapse after apparent recovery from another ailment. With him were Dr Amsell, the house physiclan, and a nurse. Mra, Bispham and one daugh- ter were in Stamford, Conn., at the | time; the other daughter is studying | fn Italy. Colleagues of Mr. Bispham in the musical world have long agreed that even more valuable than his fine voice and impeccable diction and his | splendid acting ability was his win- ning fight in behalf of American| music, While still a Philadelphia choir singer he did much in his re- | stricted circle to introduce the com CELEBRATED SINGER WHO DIES A VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE DAVID BISPHANM.. positions of native composers. AS his fame and influence spread, his activity in this line eovered the en- the Nation, There are countless young students who can tell stories of the kindly gen- erosity and fatherly way in which Mr. Bispham gave them advice and les- ns freo of charge, despite the THE ‘EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, constant strain upon him of teaching, recitals and opera. Whenever he found an American boy or girl with a| | promising voice he entered into the | Young singer's dreams with all the] jenthusiasim of a chum, He spent his money as lavishly as his time in printing and spreading the works of the young native born composers. And he was one of the first to insist upon singing in English upon every justifiable occasion, The incisivencss of hig enunciation did much to prove that English is a singable language. All these ideals helped account for the | enthusiasm with which he entered Into | the spirit of “The Bostonians” more | than thirty years ago. This enthu- siasm and his determination to give Americans and American music a| chance, epread to his colleagues in the company, who later joined him in numerous ventures on behalf of American musicians For some weeks Mr. Bispham had suffered from chronic myocarditis, | his condition during the last few) days showing, however, so much im- provement that he had insisted on resuming his work as a teacher of vocalization at his studio, No. 44 West 44th Street. The body will be taken to Philadelphia for burial. Born in 1857 in South Spring Street, Philadelphia, the son of wealthy Quaker parents of the old school, Mr. Biapham received a lib- eral education in private schools, finally graduating from Haverford College with a B. A. degree in 1876, For ten years he worked in a woollen mill owned by his uncl David Soull, In his Yelsure time he took part in amateur theatricais and studied singing, As a founder of the Society of | American Singers Mr. Bispham atded | y two splendid seasons of I a given at the Park Theatr ey HOOVER PLANNING TO STABILIZE COAL Industry Will Bet Fixed So As to Prevent Famine in Winter, It Is Said. | WASHINGTON, Oct. 8—Secretary Hoover is planning to stabilize th: coal industry of the United States.

Your mind is keen, alert, alive. The menu tempts you. Your appetite dominates you, and you eat heartily. Then back to the job. But something has happened. Instead of a quick mental grasp of things, your mind is slow and lethargic. It is no longer ten- acious. The grip you had on yourself and your problems has loosened. You have fettered your brain with too much food. The natural function of di- gestion is taking most of your bodily and mental energy. And so your lunch hour ts actually extended to two or three hours. They are precious, too, those mid-day hours. Fat a light lunch. Drink plenty of milk. Milk will give you all the strength and energy you need without taxing your digestion and chaining your brains, Try to think of milk as it really is—as a good, pure, health-building food. When you are thirsty, drink milk for the good it will do you in addi- tion to quenching your thirst. Eat foods in which milk is in- cluded, for much of the food value is retained even when milk is cooked. And because you live in or near New York City, you are perticularly fortunate in hav- ing pure, fresh milk as good as clean, healthy cows can give.
