It is in one sense more of a quiet retreat where1 people may go to relax from the stress and strain of the modern ways of living. A place to rest the fagged brain, exhuusted nerves and spent body; a place to .store up new force and energy for a fresh grip on life. - The altitude is just right and the climate ideal. The weather is neither too hot or too cold and the air charged with ozone. The scenery is .beautiful and restful to the eye. Through the livelong summer flowers bloom and birds sing. The . water Dure and sparkling bubbles from a thousand springs c r e a t i n ff. streamlets and brooks and rivers that trickle and gurgle and snlash and tumble and sing and shout over the holders and rocks awav down the mountain side onward i toward the great sea. No won-1 der that after association andi fellowship with all this for a fpw 1 weeks your flaging spirits revive j and you find yourself in a respon sive mood. You feel that you are akin to -all nature in this happy spot. You forget to complain. Gone that fretful spirit, gone that tired feeling, gone that load of care. 'Tis sood to live' Tis good to live! So every , season tired mothers and delicate children and wpnrv overworked people from a 1 1 the walks of life find their wav to Saluda for rest and recreation, nor are they disappointed. While Saluda has no sanitarium or hos pitals for contageous or incurable diseases, there is a sanitarium for ailing children and a babv camp for suffering or delicate in-. tants and many summer homes and hotels for those seeking the rest cure. Here under the heal ing touch of Mother Nature, sup- plimented. some times by the skill of the physician and trained nurse, the results are often little less than miraculous. Yes, Saluda nestling away amoung the mountain peaks in "the land of the sky" is destined to become renouned as a health resort as the years come and go. Unique Musical at the Seminary. The private recital by Miss Gladys Rice the celebrated so prano, and Miss Adeline Pack ard violinist given on last Wed nesday was an enjoyable demon stration of the recreation of the human voice. On the stage was a diamond disk talking machine, one of the most recent inventions of that scientific wizard, Thomas A. Edison. As Miss Rice stood .be side the Edison and sang in un ison with it, it was almost impos sible to distinguish her voice from the recreation of her voice. In fact so perfectly did the tones of her voice and . the recreation of her voice blend that as the ar tist paused from time to time, unless one were looking at her lips the fact would not be dis- J covered. In the course of -the evening Miss Rice 'sang a duet (with herself. The Edison car ried the air and the blending of the tones of the same voice were beautiful. That Miss Adeline Packard had marked ability as a violinist, no one who heard her could doubt And as she stood beside the Edison the unison be tween her violin and the repro duction was perfect.; Everyone present was delighted with the artistic performance.
