PADEREWSKI'S STORY OF EARLY DISCOURAGEMENTS.

"The secret of my suces," sail! M. Paderewski to a Daily Herald representa. tive, has been in the power of work that has enabled me to overcome any initial disadvantages.

Pointing to his hands, he said:---

"When I Arst started playing at the Conservatoito of Warsaw, my Professors did everything they could to disconrago mo. My hands they said, 'were not long enough. I could not span more than an octave

I would be well advised in giving up the piano and learning a more facile instrument, such as the trombone.

Such remarks, however, did not deter me from carrying on, and I accordingly persevered in any work, being determined in achieve success at all costs and to rise, if possible, to the top of the profesion that I loved with all the ardour of a lover: the result being that, after many years" hard toil and uneasing effort, I reached the position that I now hold,

"I consider, therefore, that, giver a certain aptitude, health and love fur one's work, a man cait arrive at any result if for only he possesses infinite capacity taking pains.

"I have this year made a fortune-baving in a mesure repaired the loses that contracted through the war. But if ever an artist worked, I did, and this applies more specially to the period subsequent to my taking up music agniu on the com- pletion of the five year, that I devoted to the service of my country and to political life.

This period was a"great frind to me, for 1 am passionately, devoted to my art, but I cheerhilly made the sacrifice for my country's sake, and during all that time. scarcely ever touched a piano.

"But when I returned to the 'concert platform 1 had to make good this staleness, and it was terrific strain, one for which I needed every ounce of energy that i

possessed,

For a time I worked all day, and at times quite 20 hours out of the 24, and slowly but surely I regained command over the piano and recovered the suppleness and strength that are so essential to a pianist

"How many hours do you practise n day at the present moment" I asked. "Is there any special form of preparation that you hold necessary for your art

"Everyday, whenever possible, I play for five hours, but 1 abo devote two hours, one in the morning and one night to Sandoy's exercises,

"I well remember meeting Sandow some years before the war, and in the course of our conversation telling him that I devoted two hours every day to his

As for any special dieting, I eat und drink normally, but on the day I am giving a concert I am careful not to eat any thing for five hours before the concert takes place. A pianist must play with an empty stomach if he wishes to have a light touch."

Paderewski" ucluded the interview by. stating that he was soon going to Swit zerland to take a much-needed rest,

I am very much interested in the League of Nations," he said, "and will pro- bably attend as many meetings as I en while I am in Switzerland, if only as a member of the audience. In November 1. shall return to America to give inoro con- certs and then to Australia,”

CHANGING - MAN.

SIK ARTHUR KEITH ON THE GERM PLASM.

Human beings of the future, will be different from those now on the earth, according to the theory of Sir Arthur Keith, the scientist and surgeon, express. ed in a lecture recently at Charing Cross Hospital Medical School.

Man, he said, is now going through the greatest experiment in evolution ever krown. We live in houses, work in factories, wear clothes. These facts and the foods we eat and drink, some of which contain alkaloidal substances for- eign to the body, will have their infa- ence on the germ plasm which determines what characters of body we shall possess.

The destiny of evolution, Sir Arthur said, was something which was inherent in the germ plasm, and something men kind had no control over. All the gifts, we had the brain, the hand, the upright posture had been attained by nothing man himself had dono, or that his no- cestor's had done; he had, simply come into something he was beir to.

Doctors discussing naughty children at the Portsmouth Medical Congress describ ed how, some revel in naughtinem for the sheer pleasure of reducing their parents to a state of nervous prostration. Cameron, one of the greatest authorities" on children, quoted as an instance that of a girl, aged 10, whose mother was dis tressed because the child was horribly in- terested in deaths and murder When sho returned to

room where the child had been left

while

the mother was consulted, we found that the charming little girl, who was all smiles and dimples, hid selected a book on akin disease

How Pretty Teeth

affect the smile-teeth freed from film

See what one week will do

The open smile comes naturally when there are pretty teeth to show. But dingy teeth are kept concealed.

The difference lies in film. That in what stains and discolors. That is what hides the tooth luster.

Why teeth are dim

Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. You can feel it now. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and staya.

No ordinary tooth paste can ef- fectively combat: it." The tooth brush, therefore, leaves much of it intact

That film is what discolora, not the teeth. It often forms the basis. of a dingy coat. Millions of teeth are clouded in that way.

The tooth attacks

Film also holds food substance which ferments and form ación. It holds the scids in contact with the teeth to cause decay."

Germs constantly breed "in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus most troth troubles are now traced to Sims, and very few people escape them.

Must be combated Dental science has long been

seeking a daily film combatant. In late. years two effective methods Have been found. Authorities have proved them by many careful tests. Now leading dentists nearly all the world over are urging their daily use.

A new-day tooth paste has been perfected, made to comply with modern requirements. The name is Pepsodent. These two great film combatants are embodied in it.

It goes further

Other effects are now considered essential Pepsodent is made to bring them all.

It multiplies the salivary flow. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That there to di gest starch deposits on terth, so they will not remain and form acids.

It multiplies the alkalinity of the zaliva. That is Narure's. neutralizer for acids which cause decay.

Thus every application gives these tooth-protecting forces mul- tiplied effect.

These things mean whiter, cleaner, safer teeth. They meat natmal mouth .conditions, better tooth protection.
