learn to take care of his talents.
"II does not occur to him that the proper care

important to him as
the care of the hands
is to the violinist or
the surgeon.
"Nor is it apparent
that the stomach, the
teeth, the nerves, the

brain to do its be.sc.
"You cannot put a
muff on your teeth,

but you can protect
both of them from
tobacco and from the
dissipation and loss
of sleep that will soon wreck all the delicate
machinery of yotir body.
"Nearly every man begins the world with a
fair set of apparatus for working and thinking.
"Learn to use your brains to protect it as our

countries. Mr. Turner is in ill health and will

Dear Sirs:
It will interest you to know that I used three of your BLACK
DIAMOND G. strings since May. They stood the stress of forty Con-
certs in Australia and New Zealand.
One can say that each string kept its full vigor for two months; it is
therefore quite natural that I recommend your strings most warmly.
